摘要
Apomorphine, a D-1/D-2 dopamine agonist, is an antiparkinsonian drug. me examined the effects of apomorphine on synthesis of neurotrophic factors in cultured mouse astrocytes. After 24 h incubation with apomorphine, NGF and GDNF contents in the culture medium increased to 122-fold and 1.8-fold of the control, respectively; whereas the BDNF content did not change significantly. In Northern blot analysis, expression of NGF mRNA in astrocytes reached the maximum level at 6 h after addition of the drug. By semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis, the GDNF transcript level was found to reach 2.8-fold of the control level at 15 h. These results suggest that apomorphine may exert neuroprotective effects by stimulation of NGF and GDNF synthesis in astrocytes. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
