Prevention of 6-hydroxydopamine-induced rotational behavior by BDNF somatic gene transfer

Abstract

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was expressed via injection of viral vector into the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) to investigate its influence on nigrostriatal dopaminergic activity and locomotor behavior. The recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector, pTR-BDNFmyc, incorporated the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) promoter and the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element driving expression of both epitope-tagged BDNF and green fluorescent protein (GFP) bicistronically. The control vector, pTR-UF4, incorporated NSE promoter-driven GFP expression only. Transgene expression persisted in both vector groups throughout the 9 month course of the study. Partial 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions were conducted in the SNc ipsilateral to, and 6 months after, transduction with either the pTR-BDNFmyc or the pTR-UF4. Transgenic BDNFmyc had no effect on the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-labeled neurons in the SNc after 6-OHDA-lesions, but did block the amphetamine-induced, ipsiversive, turning-behavior caused by the lesion in the pTR-UF4 group. The BDNFmyc-transduced group also demonstrated more locomotor activity and rotational activity contralateral to the lesioned side than did the pTR-UF4-transduced group. Long-term, stable expression of BDNF can therefore modulate locomotor activity without significantly affecting nigrostriatal dopaminergic survival.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the vast majority of studies with BDNF administration before induction of parkinsonism, the results revealed at least partial prevention of neuronal cell loss.

    “In the vast majority of studies with BDNF administration before induction of parkinsonism, the research results revealed at least partial prevention of neuronal cell loss [89,90,92,93,99,101].”
  • Some studies showed no increase in neuronal survival when BDNF was applied before intoxication with 6-hydroxydopamine in a Parkinson's disease animal model.

    “However, the reports are not consistent; some have shown no increase in neuronal survival when BDNF was applied before intoxication with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in PD animal model [90,91].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
