Dopaminergic neurotoxicities of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were compared in rat mesencephalic cultures plated on poly-L-lysine or on glial monolayers. In the neuron-enriched cultures plated on polylysine, 6-OHDA killed 89% Of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunopositive neurons, but LPS was not neurotoxic. Conversely, in mixed neuron/glial cultures, 6-OHDA killed only 27% of the TH-immunopositive neurons while LPS killed 70%. The mixed neuronal/glial mesencephalic culture offers a better in vitro model for studying possible mechanisms involved in Parkinson's disease.
