title: Apomorphine induction of AP-1 DNA binding in the rat striatum after dopamine depletion.
abstract: The expression of AP-1 transcription factors was assessed in the dopamine-depleted rat striatum over a 1 week period of repeated apomorphine injections. A single injection of apomorphine increased the expression of a 35 kDa Fos-related antigen and Jun proteins and their expression continued to increase until day 3 of repeated apomorphine treatment in dopamine-depleted striata. Apomorphine induces AP-1 transcription factors which may be involved in modulating gene expression in the striatum.
