Increased dopamine D 2 receptor binding after long-term treatment with antipsychotics in humans: a clinical PET study

Abstract: This study demonstrates for the first time, using in vivo neuroreceptor imaging, that dopamine D2 receptor binding is increased after long-term treatment with antipsychotics in humans. The data suggest that both traditional and novel antipsychotics with high affinity for dopamine D2 receptors are associated with a substantial increase in D2 receptor binding. The present data in humans agree well with animal data that implicate D2 receptor-mediated mechanisms in motor hyperactivity.

“…This pattern of D 2 -receptor blockade produced a robust upregulation of striatal D 2 -receptors and induced the development of behavioral tolerance to the effect of haloperidol on spontaneous locomotor activity. These consequences are similar to those reported in patients on haloperidol medication, in whom stable haloperidol plasma concentrations and high levels of D 2 -receptor occupancies are maintained, and who show D 2 -upregulation in the striatum (Lee et al, 1978;Mita et al, 1986;Silvestri et al, 2000). Although this continuous pattern of high D 2 -receptor blockade produced the undesirable effects of the drug, continuous but only moderate (B60% throughout the day) levels of D 2 -receptor blockade did not produce any of these effects.…”

“…This was confirmed by another study, which did find a higher D2 receptor density in patients with schizophrenia after intake of antipsychotics. [34][35][36] DRD2 Ser311Cys and À141C Ins/Del. The Ser311Cys polymorphism is an effective cAMP inhibitor in DRD2 leading to activation of intracellular signalling.…”

“…Indeed, chronic exposure to haloperidol upregulates D 2 -dopaminergic receptors and downregulates D 1 receptors inducing cognitive dysfunctions (Lidow and GoldmanRakic, 1994;Castner et al, 2000;Silvestri et al, 2000). In our protocol, a minimum washout period of 10 d was observed between two consecutive drug challenges.…”
