Putaminal Upregulation of FosB/ΔFosB-Like Immunoreactivity in Parkinson's Disease Patients with Dyskinesia
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor ΔFosB is a mediator of maladaptive neuroplasticity in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. Using an antibody that recognizes all known isoforms of FosB and ΔFosB, we have examined the expression of these proteins in post-mortem basal ganglia sections from PD patients. The patient cases were classified as being dyskinetic or non-dyskinetic based on their...
