Neurogenesis occurs in the hippocampus throughout life and is implicated in various physiological brain functions such as memory encoding and mood regulation. L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) has long been believed to be an inert precursor of dopamine. Here, we show that L-DOPA and its receptor, GPR143, the gene product of ocular albinism 1, regulate neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) in a dopamine-independent manner. L-DOPA at concentrations far lower than that of dopamine promoted proliferation of neural stem and progenitor cells in wild-type mice under the inhibition of its conversion to dopamine; this effect was abolished in GPR143 gene-deficient (Gpr143−/y) mice. Hippocampal neurogenesis decreased during development and adulthood, and exacerbated depression-like behavior was observed in adultGpr143−/ymice. Replenishment of GPR143 in the DG attenuated the impaired neurogenesis and depression-like behavior. Our findings suggest that L-DOPA through GPR143 modulates hippocampal neurogenesis, thereby playing a role in mood regulation in the hippocampus.
