AI Article Synopsis

  • - Dysfunction of the cholinergic system is linked to cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease and related disorders, and imaging can help identify when cholinesterase inhibitors might be useful.
  • - The study used a specific tracer, [(123)I]iododexetimide, to measure muscarinic receptor availability in a rat model with induced Parkinson's-like symptoms, finding significant reductions in receptor binding in neocortical regions on the affected side.
  • - Results suggest that dopamine depletion leads to downregulation of M1 muscarinic receptors in the neocortex, potentially due to changes in cholinergic activity in response to reduced dopamine levels.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Dysfunction of the cholinergic neurotransmitter system is present in Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease related dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies, and is thought to contribute to cognitive deficits in these patients. In vivo imaging of the cholinergic system in these diseases may be of value to monitor central cholinergic disturbances and to select cases in which treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors could be beneficial. The muscarinic receptor tracer [(123)I]iododexetimide, predominantly reflecting M1 receptor binding, may be an appropriate tool for imaging of the cholinergic system by means of SPECT. In this study, we used [(123)I]iododexetimide to study the effects of a 6-hydroxydopamine lesion (an animal model of Parkinson's disease) on the muscarinic receptor availability in the rat brain.

Methods: Rats (n=5) were injected in vivo at 10-13 days after a confirmed unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesion. Muscarinic receptor availability was measured bilaterally in multiple brain areas on storage phosphor images by region of interest analysis.

Results: Autoradiography revealed a consistent and statistically significant lower [(123)I]iododexetimide binding in all examined neocortical areas on the ipsilateral side of the lesion as compared to the contralateral side. In hippocampal and subcortical areas, such asymmetry was not detected.

Conclusions: This study suggests that evaluation of muscarinic receptor availability in dopamine depleted brains using [(123)I]iododexetimide is feasible. We conclude that 6-hydroxydopamine lesions induce a decrease of neocortical muscarinic receptor availability. We hypothesize that this arises from down regulation of muscarinic postsynaptic M1 receptors due to hyperactivation of the cortical cholinergic system in response to dopamine depletion.

Advances In Knowledge: In rats, dopamine depletion provokes a decrease in neocortical muscarinic receptor availability, which is evaluable by [(123)I]iododexetimide imaging.

Implications For Patient Care: This study may further underline the role of a dysregulated muscarinic system in patients with Lewy body disorders.
