✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Forskolin (FSK) was locally injected into the substantia nigra (SN) of anesthetised rats. The day after injection (24 and 36 hr), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity increased locally in this structure but remained unmodified in the ipsilateral caudate nucleus (CN). The amount of messenger RNA for TH (TH‐mRNA) was also increased in the SN 24 hr after the injection. However, TH protein content was modified neither locally in the SN nor in the ipsilateral CN. In addition, the decrease of the ratio between dopamine and its first metabolite in the CN and the SN suggested a decreased activity of the dopaminergic nigral cells. The absence of increase of the protein synthesis in spite of the fact that TH‐gene transcription was initiated could be the consequence of the inhibition of dopaminergic cells by the drug. These results confirm that, in vivo, TH induction is cAMP‐dependent and demonstrate that the TH‐gene activity is not strictly coupled to the activity of dopaminergic cells in the SN.

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines in neural tissues and adrenal medulla. To study the expression of the TH gene and its regulation in adult and developing neural tissues, we have synthesized an oligodeoxyribonucleotide probe (oligomer) that is s
