Histone deacetylase 1 regulates haloperidol-induced motor side effects in aged mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antipsychotic drugs prescribed to elderly patients with neuropsychiatric disorders often experience severe extrapyramidal side effects. Previous studies from our group suggest that changes in histone modifications during aging increase the risk for antipsychotic drug side effects, because co-administration of antipsychotics with class 1 histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors could mitigate the severity of motor side effects in aged mice. However, which HDAC subtype contributes to the age-related sensitivity to antipsychotic drug side effects is unknown.

Methods

In this study, we overexpressed histone deacetylase type 1(HDAC1) in the striatum of 3-month-old mice and knocked down HDAC 1 in the striatum of 21-month-old mice by microinjection of AAV9-HDAC1-GFP or AAV9-
