Unexpected expression of alpha- and beta-globin in mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons and glial cells

Journal: 

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106(36):15454-9

Date: 

26 August, 2009

The mesencephalic dopaminergic (mDA) cell system is composed of two major groups of projecting cells in the substantia nigra (SN) (A9 neurons) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA) (A10 cells). A9 neurons form the nigrostriatal pathway and are involved in regulating voluntary movements and postural reflexes. Their selective degeneration leads to Parkinson's disease. Here, we report that gene expression analysis of A9 dopaminergic neurons (DA) identifies transcripts for alpha- and beta-chains of hemoglobin (Hb).
