PG - 343-52 LID - S0028-3908(15)00135-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2015.04.006 [doi] AB - We have previously shown that estrogen receptors (ER) alpha activation and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) stimulation reproduce 17beta-estradiol protection against 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine induced toxicity of dopamine neurons in mice. This suggests that both ERalpha and GPER1 have a major role in mediating protection of dopamine neurons, but also suggests a potential collaboration between these receptors. The present study tested the hypothesis of a potential collaboration between ER alpha/beta and GPER1 in neuroprotection of dopaminergic neurons in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated male mice, using a pharmacologic approach. The ERalpha/beta antagonist, ICI 182,780, blocked the protective effects of 17beta-estradiol, but not those of GPER1 agonist G1, on dopamine concentration as well as dopamine transporter and vesicular monoamine transporter 2 specific binding in both the striatum and the substantia nigra. G1 protection was accompanied by an increase in Blc-2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the striatum; coadministration of ICI 182,780 blocked the effect of G1 only on BDNF levels. ERalpha activation by its agonist 4,4',4''-(4-Propyl-[1H]-pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl)trisphenol (PPT) protected dopamine neurons, an effect associated with activation of striatal Akt signaling and an increase in Bcl-2 and BDNF levels; the GPER1 antagonist G15 inhibited the decrease in glycogen synthase kinase 3beta activity and the increase in BDNF induced by PPT. Our results suggest that ERalpha requires GPER1 in protection of dopamine neurons and modulation of signaling pathways, and that the effect of GPER1 occurs independently of ERalpha/beta, whereas GPER1 require ERalpha/beta to increase BDNF levels.
