The studies suggest for the first time that dopamine or fenoldopam is an exciting agent that enhances structure and function of primary cilia and proposes that dopaminergic agents can be used in “cilio-therapy” to treat diseases associated with abnormal cilia structure and/or function.

It is shown that selective activation of DR5 specifically induces calcium influx only in the primary cilia, whereas non-selective activation of dopamine receptor induces calcium fluxes in both cilioplasm and cytoplasm, which leads to a greater response to fluid-shear stress.
