A whole brain immediate early gene mapping highlighted the dorsolateral bed
nucleus of the stria terminalis (dlBST) as a structure putatively involved in
L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa)-induced dyskinesia (LID), the debilitating
side-effects of chronic dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
dlBST indeed displayed an overexpression of ∆FosB, ARC, Zif268 and FRA2 only in
dyskinetic rats. We thus hypothesized that dlBST could play a role in LID
hyperkinetic manifestations. To assess the causal role of the dlBST in LID, we
used Daun02 inactivation to selectively inhibit the electrical activity of dlBST
ΔFosB-expressing neurons. Daun02 is a prodrug converted into Daunorubicin by
ß-galactosidase. Then, the newly synthesized Daunorubicin is an inhibitor of
neuronal excitability. Therefore, following induction of abnormal involuntary
movements (AIMs), 6-OHDA rats were injected with Daun02 in the dlBST previously
expressing ß-galactosidase under control of the FosB/ΔFosB promoter. Three days
after Daun02 administration, the rats were tested daily with L-Dopa to assess
LID. Pharmacogenetic inactivation of ∆FosB-expressing neuron electrophysiological
activity significantly reduced AIM severity. The present study highlights the
role of dlBST in the rodent analog of LID, offering a new target to investigate
LID pathophysiology.
