nervous system
N |
• mice exhibit normal dopaminergic neurons and striatal catecholamine levels
|
• the response of nigral neurons to dopamine treatment exhibits a smaller amplitude and shorter duration of hyperpolarization than in similarly treated wild-type cells
• dopamine-treated nigral neurons exhibit a shorter time to predrug firing activity compared with similarly treated wild-type neurons
• quinpirole-treated nigral neurons are less sensitive than similarly treated wild-type neurons
• amphetamine-treated neurons exhibit a shorter cessation of firing compared with similarly treated wild-type neurons with smaller hyperpolarization
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• the response of nigral neurons to dopamine treatment exhibits a smaller amplitude and shorter duration of hyperpolarization than in similarly treated wild-type cells
• dopamine-treated nigral neurons exhibit a shorter time to predrug firing activity compared with similarly treated wild-type neurons
|
• amphetamine-treated neurons exhibit a shorter cessation of firing compared with similarly treated wild-type neurons with smaller hyperpolarization
|
behavior/neurological
• following treatment with amphetamine, mice fail to exhibit an increase in locomotor activity unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice treated with quinpirole do not exhibit as much of a decrease in locomotor activity (horizontal and vertical movements) as similarly treated wild-type mice
• quinpirole-treated nigral neurons are less sensitive than similarly treated wild-type neurons
|
• following treatment with amphetamine, mice fail to exhibit an increase in locomotor activity unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• adrenal chromaffin cells exhibit reduced catecholamine release per cell, quantal size, and frequency of release events when stimulated with high potassium ion compared to similarly treated wild-type cells
|
cellular
• cholera toxin B translocation from the cell surface to the trans-Golgi Network (retrograde translocation) is increased in primary astrocytes
• anterograde transport of GPI proteins from the trans-Golgi Network to the plasma membrane is enhanced in primary astrocytes
• treatment with the LRRK2 kinase inhibitor MLi2 reverses the increased cholera toxin B trafficking
