Long-Term Treatment with Atypical Antipsychotic Iloperidone Modulates Cytochrome P450 2D (CYP2D) Expression and Activity in the Liver and Brain via Different Mechanisms by Przemysław J. Danek, Władysława A. Daniel

“…Like in the liver, iloperidone reduced CYP2D activity and protein levels in the frontal cortex and cerebellum but enhanced these levels in the nucleus accumbens, striatum and substantia nigra. Chronic iloperidone did not change the brain <i>CYP2D4</i> mRNA levels, except in the striatum, where they were significantly increased. …”

Cellular Programming and Reprogramming: Sculpting Cell Fate for the Production of Dopamine Neurons for Cell Therapy by Julio C. Aguila, Eva Hedlund, Rosario Sanchez-Pernaute

“…In Parkinson disease, the loss of dopamine neurons is more pronounced in the ventrolateral population that projects to the sensorimotor striatum. Because synapses are highly specific, only neurons with this precise identity will contribute, upon transplantation, to the synaptic reconstruction of the dorsal striatum. …”

Protocol for the intracerebral injection of AAV-α-synuclein plus poly(ADP-ribose) to generate a Parkinson’s disease monkey model by Shuyi Liu, Wei Si, Zhengbo Wang

“…We describe steps for localizing the substantia nigra and striatum using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We then detail a technique for the intracerebral administration of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpression of α-synuclein into the substantia nigra plus the injection of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) into the striatum.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Liu et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.…”
