Figure Lengend Snippet: PD rats show different AIMs scores after the administration of l -DOPA, D1R antagonist or agonist. Notes: Axial ( A ), limb ( B ), orolingual ( C ) and locomotor ( D ). AIMs scores were observed at 2, 7, 12, 17 and 22 days. Increased AIMs scores in PD rats were observed after the administration of l -DOPA. Meanwhile, the group treated with l -DOPA and D1R agonist showed increasing AIMs scores; however, rats treated with D1R antagonist, SCH23390, plus l -DOPA showed no increasing AIMs scores compared to rats peritoneally injected with l -DOPA alone. Data are presented as mean ± SD. # p < 0.05, versus day 2; * p < 0.05, versus l -DOPA group. Data are statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA test. Abbreviations: AIMs, abnormal involuntary movements; ANOVA, analysis of variance; d, days; D1R, D1 dopamine receptor; l -DOPA, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; PD, Parkinson’s disease.
Article Snippet: Samples were incubated with a mouse antibody against D1R (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) or a rabbit antibody against Shp-2 (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA) overnight at 4°C.
