Catecholamine producing cells (suspension of nigral dopaminergic cells, locus coeruleus noradrenergic cells, adrenal chromaffin cells) were transplanted in ipsilateral caudate nucleus of rats with unilateral 6-OHDA lesions in the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway. Survival of grafted cells, their connections with host neuronal elements, dopamine synthesis/release, and recovery from motor disturbances were investigated for more than 2 years. Motor disturbances, assessed by methamphetamine circling, recovered inmore than 90% of animals by grafting nigral dopaminergic cells, in 40 to 60% of animals by grafting locus coeruleus noradrenergic cells, and in 0 to 30% of animals by grafting adrenal chromaffin cells. Many tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive cells survived in the host caudate following dopaminergic cell grafting. Following the grafting of locus coeruleus noradrenergic cells, moderate number of TH positive but dopamine β hydroxylase (DBH) negative cells survived in animals that made behavior recovery. A fewer TH positive cells survived following the grafting of adrenal medullary cells. These TH positive cells made synaptic connections with host neuronal elements. By in vivo microdialysis-HPLC analysis, extracellular dopamine and its metabolites around the grafting sites recovered in 50 to 100% of those of controls. Using TH cDNA probe, TH positive cells were found to express TH mRNA in in situ hybridization-autoradiography analysis. Data indicate that grafted catecholaminergic cells survive, synthesis and release dopamine, make connections with host neurons and ameliorate motor disturbances for over long term.
