Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder for which there are no disease-modifying treatments. SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase that is implicated in maintaining neuronal health during development, differentiation and ageing. Previous studies suggested that the modulation of SIRT1 activity is neuroprotective in HD mouse models, however, the mechanisms controlling SIRT1 activity are unknown.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disease that develops in midlife (~ 40 years-old at onset) and then progresses slowly. It is still unclear how striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), the most vulnerable neurons in HD, maintain their function for decades despite the chronic expression of mutant huntingtin (mHTT). In this study, we used aged BACHD mice, a HD model expressing the full-length human mHTT gene, to investigate the molecular, morphological and functional properties of striatal MSNs.

In the striatum, signaling through G protein-coupled dopamine receptors mediates motor and reward behavior, and underlies the effects of addictive drugs. The extent of receptor responses is determined by RGS9-2/Gbeta5 complexes, a striatally enriched regulator that limits the lifetime of activated G proteins. Recent studies suggest that the function of RGS9-2/Gbeta5 is controlled by the association with an additional subunit, R7BP, making elucidation of its contribution to striatal signaling essential for understanding molecular mechanisms of behaviors mediated by the striatum.

GPR88, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, was designated Strg/GPR88 for striatum-specific G protein-coupled receptor (K. Mizushima et al. (2000)Genomics, 69, 314-321).
