Neuroinflammatory processes have been implicated in the progressive loss of ventral midbrain dopaminergic neurons that give rise to Parkinson’s disease, a late-onset movement disorder that affects 2% of the population over age 70. Previously, we demonstrated that inhibition of the pro-inflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor through nigral infusion of dominant-negative Tumor Necrosis Factor protein (XENP345) in two rat models of Parkinson’s disease attenuates dopaminergic neuron loss. The objective of this study was to develop a constitutive lentiviral vector encoding dominate-negative Tumor Necrosis Factor and to determine if a gene therapy approach to deliver dominant-negative TNF directly into the rodent substantia nigra could prevent or attenuate neurotoxin-induced dopaminergic neuron loss and associated behavioral deficits. Here we demonstrate that a single injection of lentivirus expressing dominant-negative TNF into rat substantia nigra administered concomitant with a striatal 6- hydroxydopamine lesion resulted in sufficiently high expression of inhibitor in vivo to attenuate both dopaminergic neuron loss and behavioral deficits resulting from striatal dopamine depletion. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of dominant negative Tumor Necrosis Factor gene transfer as a novel neuroprotective strategy to prevent or delay nigrostriatal pathway degeneration with potential future therapeutic applications in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
