OBJECTIVE: Lactacystin has been used to establish rodent models of Parkinson disease (PD), with cerebral α-synuclein inclusions. This study evaluated the uptake of [18F]9-fluoropropyl-(+)-dihydrotetrabenazine ([18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ), a vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2)-targeting radiotracer, through positron emission tomography (PET) in lactacystin-treated rat brains.
METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly treated with a single intracranial dose of lactacystin (2 or 5 μg) or saline (served as the sham control) into the left medial forebrain bundle. A 30-min static [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ brain PET scan was performed following an intravenous [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ dose (approximately 22 MBq) in each animal at 2 and 3 weeks after lactacystin treatment. Upon completing the last PET scans, the animals were killed, and their brains were dissected for ex vivo autoradiography (ARG) and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) as well as VMAT2.
RESULTS: Both the 2- and 5-μg lactacystin-treated groups exhibited significantly decreased specific [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ uptake in the ipsilateral striata (I-ST) at 2 weeks (1.51 and 1.16, respectively) and 3 weeks (1.36 and 1.00, respectively) after lactacystin treatment, compared with the uptake in the corresponding contralateral striata (C-ST) (3.48 and 3.08 for the 2- and 5-μg lactacystin-treated groups, respectively, at 2 weeks; 3.36 and 3.11 for the 2- and 5-μg lactacystin-treated groups, respectively, at 3 weeks) and the sham controls (3.34-3.53). Lactacystin-induced decline in I-ST [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ uptake was also demonstrated through ex vivo ARG, and the corresponding dopaminergic neuron damage was confirmed by the results of TH- and VMAT2-IHC studies.
CONCLUSIONS: In this PD model, lactacystin-induced dopaminergic terminal damage in the ipsilateral striatum could be clearly visualized through in vivo [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ PET imaging. This may serve as a useful approach for evaluating the effectiveness of new treatments for PD.
