Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) inhibited the formation of cAMP promoted by vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, plus forskolin, in mouse hippocampal and cortical neurons in primary culture. The rank order of potencies of classical 5-HT1 agonists in inhibiting cAMP formation in hippocampal neurons was 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) greater than 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) greater than d-lysergic acid diethylamide greater than 5-HT greater than 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-N,N-DMT) greater than RU 24969 greater than ipsapirone greater than bufotenine greater than buspirone [half-maximal efficacy (EC50) = 7, 18, 30, 52, 90, 102, 100, 110, and 128 nM, respectively]. All the tryptamine derivatives substituted in position 5 of the indol were potent agonists [5-HT, 5-CT, 5-MeO-N,N-DMT, 5-methoxytryptamine, and bufotenine], whereas tryptamine, N-methyltryptamine, and N,N-dimethyltryptamine were poor agonists. The most potent antagonists tested were spiperone, (+/-)-pindolol, (+/-)-cyanopindolol, WB4101, and methiothepin, the affinity of spiperone for this receptor being 22 nM. In contrast, ketanserin, a specific 5-HT2 antagonist, and 5-HT3-selective drugs (ICS 205 930 and MDL 72222) were very weak in antagonizing the 5-HT-inhibited cAMP formation. The pharmacological profiles of 5-HT receptors mediating the inhibition of cAMP formation indicate that these receptors correspond to the 5-HT1A-binding site subtypes. Experiments with the Bordetella pertussis toxin indicate that the 5-HT1A receptor mediating inhibition of cAMP production involves a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein. In the absence of VIP, cAMP formation could be stimulated through a 5-HT receptor, but the specific 5-HT1A agonists, 8-OH-DPAT and RU 24969 did not stimulate cAMP production. These results suggest that in mouse embryonic hippocampal neurons, the 5-HT1A receptors, which are negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase, are distinct from the receptor positively coupled to this enzyme. The pharmacological characterization of the 5-HT receptor negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase in mouse embryonic cortical neurons indicates that it differs from the 5-HT1A receptor found in hippocampal neurons. Its main differences with the 5-HT1A receptor in hippocampal neurons are as follows: 1) 8-OH-DPAT was only a poor partial agonist in cortical neurons, whereas it was the best full agonist in hippocampal neurons; and 2) metergoline and methysergide as well as the anxiolytic drugs, ipsapirone and buspirone, which were potent agonists in hippocampal neurons, were competitive antagonists in cortical neurons.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The effect of Na-K adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) on relaxation induced by isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2, sodium nitroprusside, and forskolin, a specific stimulant of adenylate cyclase, was investigated in canine tracheal smooth muscle strips. Relaxation in response to isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2, and forskolin was significantly decreased after inhibition of the Na-K ATPase by ouabain or a potassium-free medium, but relaxation to sodium nitroprusside was not affected. Relaxation to isoproterenol was greater in muscles contracted by 5-hydroxytryptamine than in those contracted by acetylcholine. The stimulation of Na-K ATPase activity with potassium also caused differences in relaxation between tissues contracted with 5-hydroxytryptamine or acetylcholine. Relaxation caused by isoproterenol by activation of the Na-K-ATPase was also decreased by the Ca2+-channel antagonists, verapamil and diltiazem. The results suggest 1) Na-K ATPase activity modulates relaxation caused by isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2, and forskolin in canine tracheal smooth muscle, 2) isoproterenol or activation of the Na-K ATPase may cause relaxation partly by reducing Ca2+ influx through potential-dependent Ca2+ channels, and 3) the differences in the inhibitory effects of isoproterenol and Na-K ATPase activity on muscles contracted by acetylcholine and 5-hydroxytryptamine could be due to differences between these contractile agents in their dependence on extracellular Ca2+ for activation.

A nonclassical 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor mediates the stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in mouse embryo colliculi neurons in primary culture. The pharmacological profile characterized with agonists and antagonists suggests that this 5-HT receptor does not appear to correspond to a known 5-HT receptor. On this 5-HT receptor, 5-HT (EC50 = 109 +/- 17 nM) and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT) were equipotent agonists. The other tryptamine derivatives, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeOT-N,N-DMT), were full potent agonists, whereas tryptamine, bufotenine, and 2-CH3-5-HT were weak partial agonists. Two selective 5-HT1A agonists: 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and ipsapirone, could not stimulate adenylate cyclase. RU 24969, a tetrahydropyridoindole derivative that is a potent 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B agonist was also inactive, whereas RU 28253, another member of this series, could stimulate cAMP production. The action of antagonists acting on 5-HT1 or 5-HT2 receptors, such as methiothepin (5-HT1 and 5-HT2), metergoline (5-HT1 and 5-HT2), spiperone (5-HT1A and 5-HT2), (-)-pindolol (5-HT1B), mesulergine (5-HT1C), and ketanserin (5-HT2), were almost inactive in reversing the 5-HT stimulating effect. The selective 5-HT3 antagonist ICS 205 930 was a full competitive antagonist at this receptor. Nevertheless, MDL 72222, which is also a 5-HT3 antagonist, was very weak in antagonizing the 5-HT stimulatory effect. A receptor with similar characteristics has also been found in guinea pig hippocampal membranes. In these membranes, the second receptor of low affinity for 5-HT, termed RL, which is positively coupled to adenylate cyclase, was also antagonized by ICS 205 930. The relatively low affinity of this hippocampal receptor for 5-CT, its stimulation by RU 28253 but not by RU 24969, and its previously reported pharmacological characteristics support the contention that this 5-HT receptor and the 5-HT receptor of mouse embryo colliculi neurons in primary culture (both positively coupled to cAMP formation) present great homologies. Inasmuch as none of the classical specific 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 agonists or antagonists interact with these 5-HT receptors, it is unlikely that they belong to 5-HT1 or 5-HT2 receptor categories.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The presence of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptors coupled to an adenylate cyclase was demonstrated on membranes of neurons or glial cells grown in primary cultures originating from the cerebral cortex, striatum, and mesencephalon of mouse embryos. A biphasic pattern of activation was observed in all these cell types, involving distinct high- and low-apparent-affinity mechanisms. The absence of additive effects of VIP and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (DA, dopamine), isoproterenol (ISO), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) suggests that the peptide receptors are colocated with each of the corresponding amine receptors on neuronal membranes of the three structures studied. The nonadditivity between the VIP- and ISO-induced responses on cortical and striatal glial membranes reveals as well a colocation of VIP and beta-adrenergic-sensitive adenylate cyclases on the same cells. A subpopulation of mesencephalic glia could possess only one of the two types of receptors, as a partial additivity of the VIP and ISO responses was seen. In addition, VIP modified the characteristics of the somatostatin inhibitory effect on adenylate cyclase activity of neuronal membranes from the cerebral cortex and striatum but not from those of the mesencephalon. On striatal and mesencephalic glial membranes the somatostatin inhibitory effect was observed only in the presence of VIP. However, as previously seen with ISO, the presence of VIP did not allow the appearance of a somatostatin inhibitory response on cortical glial membranes. This suggests that cortical glia are devoid of somatostatin receptors.

Primary cultures of mouse embryonic neuronal or glial cells from the cerebral cortex, striatum, and mesencephalon were used to identify and determine the cellular localization of somatostatin receptors coupled to an adenylate cyclase. Somatostatin inhibited basal adenylate cyclase activity on neuronal but not on glial crude membranes in the three structures examined. The somatostatin-inhibitory effect on neuronal crude membranes was still observed in the presence of (-)-isoproterenol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine, DA), or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) used at a concentration (10(-5) M) inducing maximal adenylate cyclase activation. In addition, in most cases biogenic amines modified the pattern of the somatostatin-inhibitory effect, triggering either an increase in the peptide apparent affinity for its receptors or an increase in the maximal reduction of adenylate cyclase activity or both. However, 5-HT did not modify the somatostatin-inhibitory response on striatal and cortical neuronal crude membranes. The changes in somatostatin-inhibitory responses were interpreted as a colocalization of the amine and the peptide receptors on subtypes of neuronal cell populations. Finally, somatostatin was shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity following its activation by (-)-isoproterenol on glial crude membranes of the striatum and the mesencephalon but not on those of the cerebral cortex.

Forskolin (10(-5) M), an activator of adenylate cyclase in many mammalian cell types, potentiated the positive inotropic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the bivalve, Mercenaria mercenaria, myocardium. Forskolin (10(-5) M) also significantly increased intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations when compared to 5-HT controls. Ro 20-1724 (10(-5) M), a putative inhibitor of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, had no effect on myocardial contractility or cyclic AMP concentration. A positive correlation between intracellular cyclic AMP concentration and the efficacy of 5-HT was obtained.

A study has been made of the action of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the radio-sodium efflux from single barnacle muscle fibres. (i) Stimulation of the Na efflux by external application of 5-HT is seen in both unpoisoned and ouabain-poisoned fibres. (ii) Concentrations of 5-HT as low as 10(-9)M are effective. (iii) Characteristically, the response to 5-HT is prompt in onset, reaches a peak within 20 min and then decays rather rapidly. Fibres from certain barnacle specimens are sometimes unresponsive to 5-HT. Such fibres, however, can be rendered responsive by preinjecting into them the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue, Gpp(NH)p. The response of the ouabain-insensitive Na efflux to 5-HT depends on external Ca2+ and, to a certain extent, on external Na+. (i) The response to 5-HT is unaffected by prior external application of Ca2+ antagonists, viz. verapamil, Cd2+ and WB-4101. (ii) The calmodulin antagonist, trifluoperazine (10(-5)M), completely abolishes the response to 5-HT, even in fibres preinjected with Gpp(NH)p. (iii) Diphenylhydantoin is less effective than trifluoperazine (TFP). Whereas the receptor antagonist methysergide is ineffective, cyproheptadine is very effective. (i) Prior application of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 1-propyl-3-methyl-7-(5-hydroxyhexyl)-xanthine (PMX) or the inhibitor 1-isoamyl-3-isobutyl-xanthine (IAX) augments the size of the response to 5-HT, but fails to stop the response from decaying. (ii) Augmentation of the response to 5-HT by IAX is seen despite the presence of 10(-5) M-TFP. Prior injection of Mg2+ or protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) leads to abolition or reduction of the response to 5-HT. These results demonstrate that barnacle fibres are a useful preparation for investigation the natriferic action of 5-HT. They also support the view that the response to 5-HT involves a receptor-adenylate cyclase complex and is the result of activation by newly formed cAMP of cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

1. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), dopamine (DA), and small cardioactive peptide B (SCPB) can activate adenylate cyclase and increase the intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in the Limax procerebrum (PC), with differing time courses and to differing extents. 5-HT and SCPB are potent stimulators of adenylate cyclase, and when both were applied simultaneously, an additive effect was observed. 2. In contrast, DA shows a great variability in the time course of cAMP synthesis and is a weak stimulator. Ergonovine, a DA antagonist, failed to inhibit cyclase activation, indicating that ergonovine-sensitive receptors are absent or ergonovine-sensitive DA receptors are not coupled to adenylate cyclase. 3. 5-HT and SCPB cause a rapid synthesis of cAMP, reaching the maximum 20- to 30-fold increase within a minute. DA's effect is slow in onset and very prolonged, reaching a maximum of only a two- to three-fold increase in the cAMP level. Reasons for variability in DA action are discussed.

The inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor agonists was measured in guinea pig and rat hippocampal membranes. The results were consistent with the inhibition being mediated by a single, homogeneous population of receptors. In guinea pig hippocampal membranes 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, d-lysergic acid diethylamide, 5-HT and buspirone were potent in inhibiting forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, with EC50 values of 18, 24, 53 and 146 nM, respectively. Spiperone (Kb = 26 nM) and methiothepin (Kb = 13 nM) were potent competitive antagonists at this receptor whereas ketanserin, a high affinity 5-HT2 receptor ligand, and ICS 205-930, a high affinity peripheral neuronal (M) receptor ligand, were not. In rat hippocampal membranes, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, d-lysergic acid diethylamide, 5-HT and buspirone were potent agonists and exhibited the same rank order of potency as in guinea pig hippocampal membranes. The maximal percentage of inhibition by buspirone was significantly less than the maximal percentage of inhibition by 5-HT in rat membranes, suggesting that it is a partial agonist at this receptor, with an intrinsic activity relative to 5-HT of 0.5. The concentration-response data show that the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in guinea pig and rat hippocampal membranes is mediated by a receptor with the characteristics of the 5-HT1A binding site. We propose that the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity is a functional correlate of this binding site. This response is suitable for measuring activities and affinities of drugs acting at 5-HT1A receptors.

Two 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors mediate stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in membranes of adult guinea pig hippocampus. The two receptors were characterized with agonists and antagonists and with the aid of computerized curve-fitting procedures. Each receptor mediates about 50% of the maximal response to 5-HT. 5-HT is about 10-fold more potent in eliciting response through one cyclase-linked receptor (RH) than the other (RL). The concentrations of 5-HT that elicit half-maximal response through RH and RL are 43 +/- 6 nM and 414 +/- 53 nM, respectively. 5-Methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT) and 5-HT are approximately equipotent at each receptor. The agonists tryptamine and bufotenine are less potent than 5-HT at both receptors, and each is about 50-fold selective for RH. The two receptors are best discriminated by the agonists 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CONH2-T) and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), both of which are selective for RH. 5-CONH2-T is about 7-fold more potent than 5-HT at RH. The rank order of agonist potencies at RH (5-CONH2-T greater than 8-OH-DPAT = 5-HT = 5-MeOT greater than bufotenine greater than tryptamine) differs from that at RL (5-HT = 5-MeOT greater than bufotenine greater than tryptamine = 5-CONH2-T greater than 8-OH-DPAT). Spiperone acts as a simple competitive antagonist at RH, with a dissociation constant of 20 nM, but it is at least 100-fold less potent as an antagonist at RL. The relatively low affinities of the selective 5-HT antagonists ketanserin and MDL 72222 for RH and RL indicate that neither receptor may be classified as the 5-HT2 or as the 5-HT3 (i.e., peripheral neuronal) type. The characteristics of RH suggest that it is a functional correlate of the 5-HT1A-binding site in brain. RL appears not to correspond to a known 5-HT-binding site, but it may be homologous to receptors that mediate 5-HT-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in other systems such as infant rat colliculi. RH and RL may also mediate stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity by 5-HT in hippocampal membranes of adult rat.
