Noradrenaline and dopamine interaction in rat brain during development.

F Ponzio, H Hallman, G Jonsson

    Medical Biology
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neonatal exposure to neurotoxins 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OH-DA) and DSP4 altered noradrenaline (NA) neuron development. This treatment also reduced dopamine (DA) turnover in young rats, suggesting NA neurons regulate DA activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurotoxicology
    • Developmental Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Catecholamine neurotoxins like 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OH-DA) and DSP4 are used to study central nervous system (CNS) monoamine neurons.
    • Understanding the developmental impact of these neurotoxins on dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) systems is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of neonatal systemic 6-OH-DA or DSP4 administration on central DA and NA neurons in rats.
    • To explore the role of NA neurons in regulating DA neuron activity during development.

    Main Methods:

    • Neurochemical techniques were employed to assess catecholamine neuron function.
    • The tyrosine hydroxylase inhibition model was used to evaluate catecholamine turnover.
    • Effects were studied in both developing (12-day-old) and adult rats.

    Main Results:

    • Both 6-OH-DA and DSP4 induced similar alterations in NA neuron development, including cortical denervation and pontomedullary hyperinnervation.
    • Neonatal 6-OH-DA or DSP4 treatment led to reduced DA turnover in the cerebral cortex and striatum of young rats.
    • The effects on DA turnover were blocked by desipramine, an NA uptake blocker, suggesting NA neuron involvement.
    • No significant long-term neurotoxic effects on DA neurons were observed in adult rats, though acute DSP4 reduced cortical DA turnover.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal treatment with 6-OH-DA or DSP4 does not neurotoxically affect DA neurons but alters NA neuron development.
    • NA nerve terminals originating from locus coeruleus neurons appear to facilitate DA nerve terminal function in the cortex and striatum, particularly during early development.
