Abstract
A common adverse effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment is L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). This condition results from both dopamine (DA)-dependent and DA-independent mechanisms, as glutamate inputs from corticostriatal projection neurons impact DA-responsive medium spiny neurons in the striatum to cause the dyskinetic behaviors. In this study, we explored whether suppression of presynaptic corticostriatal glutamate inputs might affect the behavioral and biochemical outcomes associated with LID. We first established an animal model in which 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned mice were treated daily with L-dopa (10 mg/kg, i.p.) for 2 weeks; these mice developed stereotypical abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). When the mice were pretreated with the NMDA antagonist, amantadine, we observed suppression of AIMs and reductions of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and NR2B in the striatum. We then took an optogenetic approach to manipulate glutamatergic activity. Slc17a6 (vGluT2)-Cre mice were injected with pAAV5-Ef1a-DIO-eNpHR3.0-mCherry and received optic fiber implants in either the M1 motor cortex or dorsolateral striatum. Optogenetic inactivation at either optic fiber implant location could successfully reduce the intensity of AIMs after 6-OHDA lesioning and L-dopa treatment. Both optical manipulation strategies also suppressed phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-NR2B signals in the striatum. Finally, we performed intrastriatal injections of LDN 212320 in the dyskenesic mice to enhance expression of glutamate uptake transporter GLT-1. Sixteen hours after the LDN 212320 treatment, L-dopa-induced AIMs were reduced along with the levels of striatal phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-NR2B. Together, our results affirm a critical role of corticostriatal glutamate neurons in LID and strongly suggest that diminishing synaptic glutamate, either by suppression of neuronal activity or by upregulation of GLT-1, could be an effective approach for managing LID.

Abstract
L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) remains a major complication of Parkinson's disease management for which better therapies are necessary. The contribution of the striatonigral direct pathway to LID is widely acknowledged but whether the striatopallidal pathway is involved remains debated. Selective optogenetic stimulation of striatonigral axon terminals induces dyskinesia in mice rendered hemiparkinsonian with the toxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Here we show that optogenetically-induced dyskinesia is increased by the D2-type dopamine receptor agonist quinpirole. Although the quinpirole effect may be mediated by D2 receptor stimulation in striatopallidal neurons, alternative mechanisms may be responsible as well. To selectively modulate the striatopallidal pathway, we selectively expressed channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) in D2 receptor expressing neurons by crossing D2-Cre and ChR2-flox mice. The animals were rendered hemiparkinsonian and implanted with an optic fiber at the ipsilateral external globus pallidus (GPe). Stimulation of ChR2 at striatopallidal axon terminals reduced LID and also general motility during the off L-DOPA state, without modifying the pro-motor effect of low doses of L-DOPA producing mild or no dyskinesia. Overall, the present study shows that D2-type dopamine receptors and the striatopallidal pathway modulate dyskinesia and suggest that targeting striatopallidal axon terminals at the GPe may have therapeutic potential in the management of LID.

Abstract
BACKGROUND First-in-human studies to test the efficacy and safety of human embryonic stem cells (hESC)-derived dopaminergic cells in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) are imminent. Pre-clinical studies using hESC-derived dopamine neuron transplants in rat models have indicated that the benefits parallel those shown with fetal tissue but have thus far failed to consider how ongoing L-DOPA administration might impact on the graft. OBJECTIVE To determine whether L-DOPA impacts on survival and functional recovery following grafting of hESC-derived dopaminergic neurons. METHODS Unilateral 6-OHDA lesioned rats were administered with either saline or L-DOPA prior to, and for 18 weeks following surgical implantation of dopaminergic neural progenitors derived from RC17 hESCs according to two distinct protocols in independent laboratories. RESULTS Grafts from both protocols elicited reduction in amphetamine-induced rotations. Reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia preceded the improvement in amphetamine-induced rotations. Furthermore, L-DOPA had no effect on overall survival (HuNu) or dopaminergic neuron content of the graft (TH positive cells) but did lead to an increase in the number of GIRK2 positive neurons. CONCLUSION Critically, we found that L-DOPA was not detrimental to graft function, potentially enhancing graft maturation and promoting an A9 phenotype. Early improvement of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia suggests that grafts may support the handling of exogenously supplied dopamine earlier than improvements in amphetamine-induced behaviours indicate. Given that one of the protocols will be employed in the production of cells for the European STEM-PD clinical trial, this is vital information for the management of patients and achieving optimal outcomes following transplantation of hESC-derived grafts for PD.

Abstract
Background: Modulation of Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) may be a novel therapeutic approach to manage Parkinson's disease (PD) Patients with L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Objectives: The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of mGluR5 antagonists for the treatment of LID patients. Methods: Several electronic databases were consulted up to July 30, 2017. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that compared mGluR5 antagonists vs. placebo in LID patients were included. Pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models. Results: Nine trials including 776 patients met all inclusion criteria. We pooled the whole data and found apparent difference between mGluR5 antagonists and placebo in terms of mAIMS (p = 0.010). However, there was no significant improvements on antidyskinetic in terms of LFADLDS (p = 0.42) and UPDRS Part IV (p = 0.20). Meanwhile, the effect size of UPDRS part III was similar in mGluR5 antagonist groups with in placebo groups (p = 0.25). Adverse events incidence was higher with mGluR5 antagonists than with placebo, especially at the expense of increased dizziness (16.3 vs. 4.3%), visual hallucination (10.1 vs. 1.1%), or fatigue (10.1 vs. 4.8%). Conclusions: mGluR5 antagonists had a greater treatment effect on the mAIMS in LID patients, however, there was no improvements on antidyskinetic in terms of LFADLDS and UPDRS Part IV compared with placebo. According to these results, we unable to recommend mGluR5 antagonists for the routine treatment of LID patients right now.

Abstract
Long-term treatment with L-dopa leads to involuntary aimless movements called L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) has hindered its use in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Emerging evidence suggests a possible role of CaMKIIa and its interacting partners in the development of LID. In this study, we found that CaMKIIa was found to form complexes with GluN2B after chronic administration of L-dopa in adult rat striatal neurons. Intrastriatal injection of KN-93 significantly reduced the level of GluN2B in CaMKIIa precipitates with a dose dependent response, as well as reduced the Global ALO AIM score without ablation of the therapeutic response to L-dopa. In parallel, intrastriatal injection of MK-801 significantly alleviated the level of CaMKIIa in GluN2B precipitates compared to LID group (p < 0.01), and this is accompanied by realizing improvement of the Global ALO AIM score also without affect the efficacy of L-dopa. In summary, the present study indicated that CaMKIIa-GluN2B interaction had an important role in the development of LID. Disrupt of this link by intrastriatal infusion of KN-93 or MK-801 ameliorated dyskinesia in 6-OHDA-lesioned PD rats.

Abstract
Background Although the dopamine precursor L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa) remains the gold standard pharmacological therapy for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), long-term treatment with this drug has been known to result in several adverse effects, including l-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Recently, our group reported that KD5040, a modified herbal remedy, had neuroprotective effects in both in vitro and in vivo models of PD. Thus, the present study investigated whether KD5040 would have synergistic effects with l-dopa and antidyskinetic effects caused by l-dopa as well. Methods The effects of KD5040 and l-dopa on motor function, expression levels of substance P (SP) and enkephalin (ENK) in the basal ganglia, and glutamate content in the motor cortex were assessed using behavioral assays, immunohistochemistry, Western blot analyses, and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in a mouse model of PD induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). In addition, the antidyskinetic effects of KD5040 on pathological movements triggered by l-dopa were investigated by testing abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) and measuring the activations of FosB, cAMP-dependent phosphor protein of 32 kDa (DARPP-32), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), and cAMP response element-binding (CREB) protein in the striatum. Results KD5040 synergistically improved the motor function when low-dose l-dopa (LL) was co-administered. In addition, it significantly reversed MPTP-induced lowering of SP, improved ENK levels in the basal ganglia, and ameliorated abnormal reduction in glutamate content in the motor cortex. Furthermore, KD5040 significantly lowered AIMs and controlled abnormal levels of striatal FosB, pDARPP-32, pERK, and pCREB induced by high-dose l-dopa. Conclusions KD5040 lowered the effective dose of l-dopa and alleviated LID. These findings suggest that KD5040 may be used as an adjunct therapy to enhance the efficacy of l-dopa and alleviate its adverse effects in patients with PD.
