OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of the striatal extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk1/2) and its phosphorylation (p-Erk1/2) in aerobic training to alleviate the development of the L-DOPA induced dyskinesia (LID) in PD mice.

METHODS: Forty-eight male C57BL/6 N mice were randomly divided into the 6-OHDA surgery group (6-OHDA, n=42) and the sham surgery group (Sham, n=6). A two-point injection of 6-OHDA into the right striatum was used to establish a lateralized injury PD model. PD mice were randomly divided into a PD control group (PD, n=13) and a PD exercise group (PDE, n=16), this is followed by 4 weeks of L-DOPA treatment, and PDE mice received concurrent running table training (18 m/min, 40 min/day, 5 times/week). AIM scores were performed weekly, and mice were assessed for motor function after 4 weeks using the rotarod, open field, and gait tests. Immunohistochemistry was used to test nigrostriatal TH expression, Western blot was used to determine Erk1/2 and p-Erk1/2 protein expression, and immunofluorescence double-labeling technique was used to detect Erk1/2 and p-Erk1/2 co-expression with prodynorphin (PDYN).

RESULTS: (1) All AIM scores of PD and PDE mice increased significantly (P < 0.05) with the prolongation of L-DOPA treatment. Compared with PD, all AIM scores were significantly lower in PDE mice (P < 0.05). (2) After 4 weeks, the motor function of PD mice was significantly reduced compared with Sham (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); compared with PD, the motor function of PDE mice was significantly increased (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with Sham, the expression of Erk1/2 protein, the number of positive cells of Erk1/2 and p-Erk1/2 and the number of positive cells co-expressed with PDYN were significantly increased in PD mice (P < 0.05); compared with PD, Erk1/2 protein expression was significantly decreased in PDE mice (P < 0.05), and the number of Erk1/2 and p-Erk1/2 positive cells was significantly reduced (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: 4 weeks of aerobic exercise can effectively alleviate the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia and improve motor function in PD mice. The related mechanism may be related to the inhibition of striatal Erk/MAPK signaling pathway overactivation by aerobic exercise, but this change did not occur selectively in D1-MSNs.
