However, the degree of graft-induced symptomatic relief differs significantly between the patients. This variability has led to investigations aimed at identifying factors that could affect the clinical outcome. The extent and pattern of dopaminergic denervation in the brain may be one of the major determinants of the functional outcome after intrastriatal DA cell grafts. Here, we report that in animals subjected to an intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine lesion of the striatal dopaminergic afferent, the integrity of the host dopaminergic innervation outside the areas innervated by the graft is critical for optimal function of DA neurons placed in the striatum. Established graft-induced functional recovery, as assessed in the stepping and cylinder tests, was compromised in animals in which the dopaminergic lesion was extended to include also the medial and ventral striatum as well as the cortical and limbic DA projections. Poor clinical outcome after transplantation may, thus, at least in part, be caused by dopaminergic denervation in areas outside the graft-innervated territories, and similarly beneficial effects initially observed in patients may regress if the degeneration of the host extrastriatal DA projection systems proceeds with advancing disease. This would have two implications: first, patients with advanced disease involving the ventral striatum and\/or nonstriatal DA projections would be unlikely to respond well to intrastriatal DA grafts and, second, to retain the full benefit of the grafts, progression of the disease should be avoided by, for example, combining cell therapy with a neuroprotective approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.0626-07.2007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,30]],"date-time":"2007-05-30T12:23:42Z","timestamp":1180527822000},"page":"5849-5856","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["The Functional Impact of the Intrastriatal Dopamine Neuron Grafts in Parkinsonian Rats Is Reduced with Advancing Disease"],"prefix":"10.1523","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Breysse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Carlsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Winkler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Bj\u00f6rklund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deniz","family":"Kirik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"393","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/123.7.1380"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.10463"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/122.8.1437"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"491","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-185X.1992.tb01191.x","article-title":"The functional role of mesotelencephalic dopamine systems","volume":"67","author":"Dunnett","year":"1992","journal-title":"Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/114.5.2283"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200103083441002"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/122.6.1121"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.56.2.179"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/334345a0"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/exnr.1998.6848"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2889","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.21-08-02889.2001","article-title":"Growth and functional efficacy of intrastriatal nigral transplants depend on the extent of nigrostriatal degeneration","volume":"21","author":"Kirik","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Neurosci"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198804073181402"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199504273321702"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2105529"},{"key":"2023041303254179000_27.22.5849.15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"863","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2000.92.5.0863","article-title":"Enhancement of survival of stored dopaminergic cells and promotion of graft survival by exposure of human fetal nigral tissue to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with Parkinson's disease.
