Neurovascular coupling to D2/D3 dopamine receptor occupancy using simultaneous PET/functional MRI

Abstract: This study employed simultaneous neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate the relationship between changes in receptor occupancy measured by PET and changes in brain activity inferred by fMRI. By administering the D2/D3 dopamine receptor antagonist [ 11 C]raclopride at varying specific activities to anesthetized nonhuman primates, we mapped associations between changes in receptor occupancy and hemodynamics [cerebral blood volume (CBV)… Show more

“…Using relevant PET radiotracers, it has been established that clinically effective doses are often between 70–90% of D2 receptor occupancy 48 . Figure 1 provides an example of [ 11 C]raclopride binding that results in dose-dependent binding of an injected D2/D3 agonist drug (quinpirole) in competition with the radiotracer 49,50 .…”

“…In a series of studies, the effects of D2/D3 specific agonist and antagonist challenges were tested to characterize receptor function with PET/fMRI in non-human primates: Simultaneous measurement of D2/D3 receptor occupancy and fMRI signal due to D2/D3 blocking or stimulation revealed correlations in anatomical space and with dose 49,50 . For D2/D3 antagonist binding, a direct neurovascular coupling mechanisms to occupancy was shown in time.…”

“…Thus, alternative imaging modalities that overcome these limitations could expand their utilization in clinical research and would bring us closer to a more accessible biomarker for assessing brain DA activity in the clinical setting. In PNAS, Sander et al (1) demonstrate a dynamic coupling between DA D2 receptor (D2R) occupancy level, a marker of DA neurotransmission, and the concomitant regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) changes in the primate brain.…”

“…Using simultaneous PET and MRI with pharmacological doses of a DA D2/D3 antagonist (raclopride), Sander et al (1) demonstrate that MRI can provide a good surrogate for the D2R measures traditionally obtained with PET. From a technical perspective, the authors' findings help clarify the nature of the coupling between striatal D2R blockade and the consequent cerebrovascular responses that presumably reflect changes in neuronal/glial activity, which has been an area of intense investigation in the functional MRI (fMRI) literature (2).…”
