Time Course of Gene Expression in the Substantia Nigra in Response to Intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine in the rat.

ABSTRACT: The 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) rat model of parkinsonism is among the first, and most commonly used, animal models of Parkinson’s disease. It provides insight into the compensatory changes that occur in the brain after dopamine (DA) neuron degeneration. In order to better define the consequences of substantia nigra DA neuron loss on the neural and glial populations during and following nigrostriatal degeneration, tissue was collected and evaluated from the substantia nigra of 6OHDA or vehicle treated, or naïve rats at 1, 2, 4, 6 & 16 weeks. Comprehensive gene expression analysis was conducted to detect significant differences in gene expression. Comparisons were conducted within the same treatment groups over time as well as across treatments within the same post-treatment interval. Longitu
