De Novo Expression of Dopamine D2 Receptors on Microglia after Stroke

Abstract: Dopamine is the predominant catecholamine in the brain and functions as a neurotransmitter. Dopamine is also a potent immune modulator. In this study, we have characterized the expression of dopamine receptors on murine microglia. We found that cultured primary microglia express dopamine D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 receptors. We specifically focused on the D2 receptor (D2R), a major target of antipsychotic drugs. Whereas D2Rs were strongly expressed on striatal neurons in vivo, we did not detect any D2R expression … Show more

“…Microglia express all DA receptor subtypes. Presence of D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 receptor protein and/or mRNA was first demonstrated in cultured microglia, where DA modulates K + current and attenuates NO release through the D1 and D2 receptor (Färber et al ., ; Mastroeni et al ., ; Huck et al ., ; Yoshioka et al ., ). Interestingly, when microglia were investigated in vivo for D2 receptor expression, no expression was detected in unstimulated cells, while an upregulation of D2 receptor mRNA was found in activated microglia after experimental stroke (Huck et al ., ).…”

“…In this regard, dopaminergic signaling has been reported to modulate different microglial functions, including their inflammatory activity (Yan et al, 2015;Dominguez-Meijide et al, 2017;Elgueta et al, 2017), migration (Farber et al, 2005), and cell adhesion (Fan et al, 2018). Accordingly, microglial cells express both dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptors (Farber et al, 2005;Huck et al, 2015). However, under inflammatory conditions the expression of dopamine receptors might strongly change (Huck et al, 2015).…”

“…[58] Microglia express receptors that respond to various stimuli that may as a consequence result in there activation. [59] A large number of studies indicate that microglia expresses different proteins and cytokines that display different role to express different function. [60] Activated microglia have two phenotypes: classically activated (M1) and alternatively activated (M2).…”
