  • Radioligand binding assays to rat striatal dopamine D 1 receptors showed that brain lateralization of the dopaminergic system were not due to changes in expression but in agonist affinity. D 1 receptor-mediated striatal imbalance resulted from a significantly higher agonist affinity in the left striatum. D 1 receptors heteromerize with dopamine D 3 receptors, which are considered therapeutic targets for dyskinesia in parkinsonian patients. Expression of both D 3 and D 1 –D 3 receptor heteromers were increased in samples from 6-hydroxy-dopamine-hemilesioned rats rendered dyskinetic by treatment with 3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl- l -alanine ( l -DOPA). Similar findings were obtained using striatal samples from primates. Radioligand binding studies in the presence of a D 3 agonist led in dyskinetic, but not in lesioned or l -DOPA-treated rats, to a higher dopamine sensitivity. Upon D 3 -receptor activation, the affinity of agonists for binding to the right striatal D 1 receptor increased. Excess dopamine coming from l -DOPA medication likely activates D 3 receptors thus making right and left striatal D 1 receptors equally responsive to dopamine. These results show that dyskinesia occurs concurrently with a right/left striatal balance in D 1 receptor-mediated neurotransmission.
