ObjectiveTo investigate the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) antagonist CP-101.606 in behaviour and expression of related signal proteins in a rat model of levodopa-induced motor complications.MethodsThe hemi-parkinsonian rat model was produced by injecting stereotaxically 6-OHDA to right medial forebrain bundle.Then,rats were intraperitoneally treated with levodopa (50 mg/kg with benserazide 12.5 mg/kg,twice daily) for 22 days.On 23th day,rats received CP-101.606 before levodopa administration.Rotational duration was estimated.After sacrificed,phosphorylated NR2B and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMKⅡ) and glutamate receptor 1 ( GluR1S831 ) were observed by western blot.ResultsThe results showed that NR2B antagonist CP-101.606 reversed the levodopa-induced shortened rotational duration.Chronic levodopa treatment increased abundance of the phosphorylated NR2B and downstream related signal proteins CaMKⅡ and GluR1S831 to (145.3±6.5)% and (132.5±5.7)% and (105.6±6.3)%,respectively.Moreover,CP-101.606 could reduce hyperphosphorylation of NR2B and CaMKⅡ and GluR1 S831 to (102 ± 4.9 )%,(98.4±3.9)% and (49.5 ± 4.2 )%,respectively.ConclusionsThese results indicate that the enhancement of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function mediated by NR2B phosphorylation contribute to development of motor complications,through a mechanism that involved the downstream signal mediators of NMDA receptor overactivation.Pharmaceuticals which act to inhibit NR2B may be useful in the treatment of the motor complications in parkinsonian patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of interleukin-34 (IL-34) on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)/cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods FLS was isolated from 6 RA patients and stimulated with IL-34 (50 ng/ml), IL-34 receptor antagonist (25 ng/ml) and IL-34 (50 ng/ml), inhibitors of signaling pathway (10 μmol/L) and IL-34 (50 ng/ml) in vitro respectively. The expression of COX-2 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reac-tion (RT-PCR). The level of PGE2 in the supernatant of RA FLS culture was measured by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis between groups were performed by t test. Results Com-pared to unstimulated FLS, COX-2 and PGE2 expression was increased dramatically on IL-34-stimulated FLS, most evidently in 48 hours [(139±24) pg/ml vs (201±8) pg/ml, t=-6.177, P<0.01]; Moreover, the level of PGE2 was decreased when anti-IL-34 antibody was added to the IL-34-stimulated RA FLS at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours [(250 ±58) pg/ml vs (100 ±28) pg/ml, t=5.742, P<0.01; (375 ±24) pg/ml vs (97 ±23) pg/ml, t=20.564, P<0.001; (357 ±21) pg/ml vs (94 ±18) pg/ml, t=22.353, P<0.01]; In the presence of SB203580 and IKK-16, PGE2 level produced by IL-34-stimulated FLS was obviously decreased [(279 ±37) pg/ml vs (63 ±17) pg/ml, t=12.806, P<0.01;(279±37) pg/ml vs (77±16) pg/ml, t=6.177, P<0.01]. Conclusion Binding of IL-34 with its receptor may promote the secretion of PGE2 via NF-κB and P38 MAPK signaling pathway in RA FLS, suggesting that it might be involved in the pathogenesis of RA.
