Enduring Changes in Dopamine Receptor Cells of Pups from Drug Administration to Pregnant and Nursing Rats

Abstract: A decrease in specific [3H]spiroperidol binding to rat caudate tissue and a parallel decrease in sensitivity to apomorphine in eliciting stereotyped behavior was observed in the offspring of rat mothers treated with either haloperidol or alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine-methyl ester during pregnancy. In contrast, evidence of increased dopamine-receptor sensitivity was observed in the pups if haloperidol was administered to their mothers postpartum during nursing rather than during pregnancy.

“…The TCB spinners and non-spinners did not differ statistically. With the exception that the TCB non-spinners had lower body weights than controls, these observations are consistent with those of Chou et al [13].…”

“…Blockade of the DA system in adult animals, by haloperidol for example, can result in an elevation of DA binding capacity [12). However, exposure to haloperidol during gestation can depress DA receptor density [13). Thus, damage to the DA system during early synaptic development may have effects on receptor number that are opposite to those caused by impairment of the adult DA neurons.…”

“…For example, prenatal and postnatal D2 receptor antagonism with haloperidol decreases D2 expression, behavioral responsiveness to apomorphine and amphetamine, autoreceptor sensitivity, and adenylate cyclase activity [131,180,187,197]. These findings are opposite to what is found following adult chronic neuroleptic exposure [181].…”

“…4. Drugs like neuroleptics [180], marijuana and nicotine [67], alcohol, and stimulants [7] have delayed effects that are not apparent until adolescence or later [118]. The adaptive processes underlying these changes is not necessarily qualitatively different than that proposed in the allostasis model of drug abuse [117].…”

“…The dopaminergic system appears early in brain development of higher species (Voorn et al, 1988), and a neurodevelopmental role for dopamine has been suggested (Rosengarten and Friedhoff, 1979;Miller and Friedhoff, 1986). Dopamine interacts with five dopamine receptor subtypes (D 1 R-D 5 R) having distinct localization and intracellular signaling, allowing this neurotransmitter to exert pleiotropic influences on target cells (Sibley and Monsma, 1992;Gingrich and Caron, 1993;Sokoloff and Schwartz, 1995).…”
