Regulation of 5-HT1BR protein and p11 protein in the striatum in response to l-DOPA in unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned mice and rats. (a–c) (Upper) Western blots of 5-HT1BR, p11, TH, and actin in unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned mice treated with 50 mg/kg l-DOPA (i.p., once daily) for 28 days (a), unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats treated with 100 mg/kg l-DOPA (i.p., twice daily) for 5 days (b), and unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats treated with 10 mg/kg l-DOPA (i.p., once daily) for 28 days (c). Note the near-complete absence of TH in the 6-OHDA-lesioned hemispheres. (Lower) Quantification of striatal 5-HT1BR and p11 from mice (a) and rats (b and c). The 5-HT1BR and p11 levels were normalized to actin. Filled bars, intact hemisphere; open bars, 6-OHDA-lesioned hemisphere. Data represent means ± SEM for 4–10 animals per group. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 between indicated treatments; one-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls test.
