Chapter 12 - Molecular mechanisms of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

Cenci, M. Angela LU orcid and Ferrario, Juan (2025) 35. p.235-249
Abstract
l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a prevalent complication of dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease. In addition to its clinical importance, LID represents a paradigm to unravel how altered signaling downstream of dopamine receptors can disrupt mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and motor information processing in the cortico-basal ganglia network. This chapter focuses on experimental studies that have linked LID to aberrant dopamine receptor-mediated signaling and transcriptional changes in the striatum. After losing their dopamine input, striatal spiny projection neurons respond to l-DOPA with an excessive activation of both canonical and non-canonical signaling pathways, leading to extensive changes to gene, and protein...

This chapter focuses on experimental studies that have linked LID to aberrant dopamine receptor-mediated signaling and transcriptional changes in the striatum. After losing their dopamine input, striatal spiny projection neurons respond to l-DOPA with an excessive activation of both canonical and non-canonical signaling pathways, leading to extensive changes to gene, and protein expression that have long-lasting functional consequences. Molecular studies on LID provide important pathophysiological clues and reveal targets for future therapies. (Less)
