Amantadine increases aromatic 1L-amino acid decarboxylase mRNA in PC12 cells

Abstract: Amantadine is an antiviral agent that was unexpectedly found to cause symptomatic improvement in patients with Parkinsonism, although its mechanism of action remains to be elucidated. Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) is a regulated enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa). It may be especially important during L-Dopa therapy in Parkinsonism, during which it may be rate-limiting for the production of dopamine. This study reports the effects of amantadine on the … Show more

“…The antidyskinetic mechanism of amantadine has remained elusive. While its anti-parkinsonian action has been proposed to be due to increased dopamine release, 17 reduced dopamine re-uptake, 18 increased aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase gene expression, 19 and a direct anticholinergic effect, 20 these mechanisms are unlikely to explain the antidyskinetic effects of amantadine; on the contrary, increased dopaminergic transmission would only be expected to increase dyskinesias, as would anticholinergic activity. 21 Recently, it has been demonstrated that amantadine acts as a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist, 12 and that this drug's brain levels achieved with therapeutic doses are sufficient to block NMDA receptors.…”

“…436,437 The gene-expression of AADC, which is of special importance during L-DOPA therapy in PD, has been found to be induced by 10 – 100 μM amantadine in cell culture. 438 The effect of amantadine on dopamine (re)uptake into synaptosomes (30% increase after seven days treatment of rats at 40 mg/day, i.p., before using the brains of the animals for the preparation of synaptosome fractions) was not an effect of altered expression of the dopamine transporter (DAT), but rather an indirect effect via glutamate receptor antagonism. These receptors also regulate DAT phosphorylation, thereby regulating dopamine reuptake.…”

“…Αρκετοί άλλοι παράγοντες έχει δειχθεί ότι μπορούν να ρυθμίζουν την έκφραση του γονίδιου DDC σε μεταγραφικό επίπεδο, ωστόσο ο μηχανισμός και η ύπαρξη ιστοειδικότητας ή όχι παραμένουν άγνωστοι σε κάθε περίπτωση. Αύξηση των επιπέδων mRNA του γονιδίου της L-DOPA αποκαρβοξυλάσης στον αρουραίο έχει παρατηρηθεί μετά από χορήγηση δεξαμεθαζόνης (dexamethasone, DEX) (Kim et al, 1993), ιντερλευκίνης 1B (interleukin 1 beta, IL1B) και προσταγλανδίνης Ε 2 (prostaglandin E 2 , PTGE2) (Li et al, 1994), μη αντιστρεπτών αναστολέων της οξειδάσης B των μονοαμινών (monoamine oxidase B, MAO B), όπως οι ουσίες pargyline και L-deprenyl (Li et al, 1992;Li et al, 1998b), και της αντι-ιικής ουσίας αμανταδίνη (Li et al, 1998a;Deep et al, 1999). Αντίθετα, ο νευρικός αυξητικός παράγοντας (nerve growth factor, NGF) προκαλεί καταστολή της έκφρασης mRNA του γονιδίου DDC στην κυτταρική σειρά PC12 (φαιοχρωμοκύτωμα αρουραίου), ενώ ταυτόχρονα επάγει την έκφραση mRNA του γονιδίου που κωδικοποιεί την υδροξυλάση της τυροσίνης.…”
