Stereotyped behavior and striatal c-fos levels induced by chronic treatment with the D1 dopamine antagonist SCH 23390 have been investigated in rats which received subsequent subacute dopamine agonist treatment. SCH 23390 treatment (0.5 mg/kg/day) for 21 days increased both apomorphine-induced orofacial stereotypies and striatal c-fos levels. Treatment with the D1 dopamine agonist SKF 38393 (10 mg/kg/day) and the combination of SKF 38393 with the D2 dopamine agonist quinpirole (1 mg/kg/day), for 5 consecutive days, attenuated apomorphine-induced stereotypies without changing c-fos levels in rats previously treated with SCH 23390. These findings suggest that SCH 23390-induced behavioral supersensitivity and the increased striatal c-fos levels are concomitant but unrelated phenomena.

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D016760 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (GENES, FOS). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. c-fos combines with c-jun (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-JUN) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1) that binds to the TRE (TPA-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes.
