abstractText | In mice, the MPTP-induced striatal dopaminergic denervation is followed by a spontaneous partial DAT recovery and by serotoninergic hyperinnervation. We show that IL-1RI-deficient mice have a higher DAT decrease in the ventromedial striatum after MPTP and a higher basal serotoninergic innervation of the whole striatum. These data point to a possible role of IL-1RI in the early MPTP-induced structural or functional remodeling of the nigrostriatal dopamine system. |
