ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia (LID) are a complication of chronic dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have suggested that the mechanisms underlying development and expression of LID in PD may involve epigenetic changes that include deacetylation of striatal histone proteins. We hypothesised that inhibition of histone deacetylase, the enzyme responsible of histone deacetylation, would alleviate LID.METHODS:
Four female common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) were rendered parkinsonian by administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Following stabilisation of the parkinsonian phenotype, marmosets were primed to exhibit dyskinesia with chronic administration of L-DOPA. We then investigated the effects of the brain-penetrant histone deacetylase inhibitor, RGFP109 (30 mg/kg p.o. once daily for 6 days), on LID and L-DOPA anti-parkinsonian efficacy.RESULTS:
RGFP109 had no acute effects on dyskinesia after single or 6 days once-daily treatment (both P > 0.05). However, one week following cessation of RGFP109, dyskinesia and duration of ON-time with disabling dyskinesia were reduced by 37% and 50%, respectively (both P < 0.05), compared to that seen previously with L-DOPA alone. There was no change in anti-parkinsonian actions of, or ON-time duration afforded by, L-DOPA (P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Histone deacetylation inhibition may represent a novel approach to reverse established LID in PD and improve quality of the anti-parkinsonian benefit provided by L-DOPA.
