Dyskinesia induced by long‐term L‐Dopa (LID) therapy in Parkinson disease is associated with altered striatal function whose molecular bases remain unclear. Here, a transcriptomic approach was applied for comprehensive analysis of distinctively regulated genes in striatal tissue, their specific pathways, and functional‐ and disease‐associated networks in a rodent model of LID. This approach has identified transforming growth factor beta type 1 (TGFβ1) as a highly upregulated gene in dyskinetic animals. TGFβ1 pathway is a top aberrantly regulated pathway in the striatum following LID development based on differentially expressed genes (> 1.5 fold change and P < 0.05). The induction of TGFβ1 pathway specific genes, TGFβ1 , INHBA , AMHR2 and PMEPA1 was also associated with regulation of NPTX2 , PDP1 , SCG2 , SYNPR , TAC1 , TH , TNNT1 genes. Transcriptional network and upstream regulator analyses have identified AKT‐centered functional and ERK‐centered disease networks revealing the association of TGFβ1 , IL‐1β and TNFα with LID development. Therefore, results support that TGFβ1 pathway is a major contributor to the pathogenic mechanisms of LID.
