20025929 Sakoori K, Murphy NP: Reduced degeneration of dopaminergic terminals and accentuated astrocyte activation by high dose methamphetamine administration in nociceptin receptor knock out mice. Neurosci Lett. 2010 Jan 29;469(3):309-13. Epub 2009 Dec 16.


Three days later, brains were immunohistochemically processed to visualize methamphetamine-induced loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (as a marker of damage to dopamine terminals), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, as a marker of astrocytes), and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (lba-1, as a marker of microglia) in the striatum.

In the present study, we investigated long-term changes in the ipsilateral substantia nigra from 1 up to 20 weeks after 90 min of transient focal cerebral ischaemia in rats, using tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), neuronal nuclei (NeuN), Iba-1, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) immunostaining.

In our Western blot analysis, four administrations of MPTP at 2-h intervals to mice produced the remarkable loss of TH (tyrosine hydroxylase) protein levels in the striatum after 3 and 7 days.

We also applied the same analysis to tyrosine hydroxylase stained sections and detected significant decreases of dopamine neurons in the side of MPP+ injection.

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) staining of the striatum and substantia nigra pars compacta revealed that edaravone might exert neuroprotective effects on nigrostriatal dopaminergic systems.

Tyrosine-hydroxylase immunohistochemistry demonstrated that a single injection of 120 mg/kg 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) reversibly disconnected bullfrog sympathetic ganglia from their peripheral targets.
Calcium channel current in ganglionic B-neurons, (measured at -10 mV; holding potential -60 mnV; Ba2+ as charge carrier; IBa) was reduced.

After different survival times (1, 8 or 12 weeks), brain slices from the cerebral cortex or substantia nigra (SN, 1 week) were stained with Iba-1 and/or GFAP antibody to monitor microglial and astrocytic reaction, and with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) to monitor dopaminergic cell survival (SN group only).

In vivo, doxycycline provided neuroprotection of the nigral DAergic neurons following MPTP treatment, as assessed by tyrosine hydroxylase immunocytochemistry and silver staining, and suppressed microglial activation and astrogliosis as assessed by Iba-1 and GFAP immunochemistry, respectively.
