nervous system
• induction increases microglia numbers by about 17%
• following induction, local microglial activation in the substantia nigra and striatum but not in the cortex
• following induction of transgene expression surviving tyrosine hydroxylase positive cells in mesencephalic cultures prepared from E14 embryos show significant loss of neurite processes
• induction of transgene expression results in significant loss of tyrosine hydroxylase positive cells in mesencephalic cultures prepared from E14 embryos
• a 2 week induction period results in a 40% loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra
• loss of dopaminergic neurons is prevented by deprenyl co-treatment
• removal of doxycycline from the feed does not reverse cell loss
• irreversible dopaminergic substantia nigra neurodegeneration following induction of transgene expression
• following induction elevated levels of H2O2 are found in the media of cultures of mesencephalic cultures
• H2O2 levels are elevated in isolated ST dopaminergic synaptosomes following induction of transgene expression
• elevated levels of mitochondrial O2- levels in dopaminergic neurons following induction

behavior/neurological
• locomotor activity is reduced following 2 weeks of doxycycline treatment

hematopoietic system
• induction increases microglia numbers by about 17%
• following induction, local microglial activation in the substantia nigra and striatum but not in the cortex

immune system
• induction increases microglia numbers by about 17%
• following induction, local microglial activation in the substantia nigra and striatum but not in the cortex
