Suppression of presynaptic corticostriatal glutamate activity attenuates L-dopa-induced dyskinesia in 6-OHDA-lesioned Parkinson's disease mice

A common adverse effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment is L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). This condition results from both dopamine (DA)-dependent and DA-independent mechanisms, as glutamate inputs from corticostriatal projection neurons impact DA-responsive medium spiny neurons in the striatum to cause the dyskinetic behaviors. In this study, we explored whether suppression of presynaptic corticostriatal glutamate inputs might affect the behavioral and biochemical outcomes associated with LID. We first established an animal model in which 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned mice were treated daily with L-dopa (10 mg/kg, i.p.) for 2 weeks; these mice developed stereotypical abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). When the mice were pretreated with the NMDA antagonist, amantadine, we observed suppression of AIMs and reductions of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and NR2B in the striatum. We then took an optogenetic approach to manipulate glutamatergic activity. Slc17a6 (vGluT2)-Cre mice were injected with pAAV5-Ef1a-DIO-eNpHR3.0-mCherry and received optic fiber implants in either the M1 motor cortex or dorsolateral striatum. Optogenetic inactivation at either optic fiber implant location could successfully reduce the intensity of AIMs after 6-OHDA lesioning and L-dopa treatment. Both optical manipulation strategies also suppressed phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-NR2B signals in the striatum. Finally, we performed intrastriatal injections of LDN 212320 in the dyskenesic mice to enhance expression of glutamate uptake transporter GLT-1. Sixteen hours after the LDN 212320 treatment, L-dopa-induced AIMs were reduced along with the levels of striatal phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-NR2B. Together, our results affirm a critical role of corticostriatal glutamate neurons in LID and strongly suggest that diminishing synaptic glutamate, either by suppression of neuronal activity or by upregulation of GLT-1, could be an effective approach for managing LID.
