| Research Abstract |
In Parkinson disease the degeneration of nigro-striatal dopamine neuron leads to depletion of dopamine and motor deficit. It is known that D1 and D2 dopamine receptors (D1R, D2R) expressed in the medium spiny neurons of striatum are involved to motor control. However, the regulatory mechanism of motor control via D1R and D2R remains to be clarified. In this study we found the conditional D1R-expressing mice controlled by Tet-off system showed decrease of motor activity in the homecage when D1R expression was suppressed in adult stage. This finding was opposite to the marked increase of motor activity of D1R KO mice. These suggest the presence or absence of D1R expression during mouse development is closely related to up-regulation or down-regulation of motor activity in adult stage.
