The aim of this study was to examine whether GR-127,935, a 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist, blocks the inhibitory effects of sumatriptan, CP-122,288 and 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) on plasma protein extravasation, within guinea pig and rat dura matter, following electric stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion. Binding studies first established that GR-127,935 shows a 500-fold selectivity for 5-HT1D binding sites (labeled by [3H]L-694,247) versus 5-HT1F binding sites (labeled by [3H]sumatriptan in the presence of 50 nM 5-carboxamidotryptamine) in guinea pig forebrain homogenates (pKD +/- SD = 7.0 +/- 0.2 at 5-HT1F sites and 9.7 +/- 0.1 at 5-HT1D sites). In guinea pigs, GR-127,935 showed partial agonist activity and inhibited dural plasma protein extravasation. Increasing doses of GR-127,935 reversed the effect of sumatriptan, but did not affect the action of 5-CT and CP-122,288 (at a dose as high as 2 mumol/kg). Sumatriptan, CP 122,288 and 5-CT dose-responsively inhibited plasma protein extravasation. At a dose of 2 mumol/kg (but not at 0.2 mumol/kg), GR-127,935 right-shifted the dose-response curve of sumatriptan. No significant rightward shift was observed in the dose-response of CP-122,288 and 5-CT. In rats, GR-127,935 did not show any significant partial agonist activity. A dose of 0.2 mumol/kg was sufficient to right-shift the dose-response curve of sumatriptan. These data suggest that sumatriptan inhibits neurogenic inflammation via 5-HT1D alpha receptors in guinea pigs and 5-HT1D beta (5-HT1B) receptors in rats. Additional receptor subtypes are likely to be involved in the inhibition of plasma extravasation by CP-122,288 and 5-CT. Pertussis toxin reduced the inhibitory effects of both sumatriptan and 5-CT, but not of muscimol, known to act at GABAA receptors. These results suggest that 5-CT, as well as sumatriptan, act at a receptor linked to an inhibitory G-protein.

We have previously reported that the transfected Gi/Go protein-coupled human adenosine A1 receptor (expressed at 200 fmol/mg of protein) and the endogenous 5-HT1B receptor (not detectable using radioligand binding) suppress forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and stimulate increases in [Ca2+]i in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). In addition, co-activation of the adenosine A1 receptor (but not the 5-HT1B receptor) potentiates the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids elicited by receptors coupled to Gq-proteins (Dickenson and Hill, 1996. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 320, 141-151). In order to establish whether this difference in ability to modulate Gq-coupled receptor responses is a consequence of low 5-HT1B receptor density, we have stably transfected CHO-KI cells with the human 5-HT1Dbeta cDNA (the human homologue of the rodent 5-HT1B receptor). We initially isolated a clonal cell line (designated CHO5-HT1B cells) displaying moderate specific [3H]5-HT binding (pKd of 8.17+/-0.07 and a Bmax of 140 fmol/mg protein). In CHO5-HT1B cells, the selective human 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist sumatriptan produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation (pEC50=7.92+/-0.04). Sumatriptan also elicited a moderate and pertussis toxin-sensitive increase in [3H]inositol phosphate formation in CHO-5HT1B cells (pEC50=6.51+/-0.05). Finally, sumatriptan synergistically enhanced P2U purinoceptor stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation through a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism. These findings clearly show the significance of 5-HT1B receptor expression level in determining whether 5-HT1B receptor activation can modulate the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates elicited by a Gq-protein coupled receptor. The observation that 5-HT1B receptor activation can potentiate Gq-coupled receptor stimulated second messenger responses may have an important physiological role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle contraction.

The effect of the native and rodent-selective 5-HT1B receptor agonists (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and CP93,129) on the K+-evoked overflows of [3H]5-HT, [3H]dopamine (DA) and [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) was studied in synaptosome preparations obtained from rat brain striatum or hippocampus loaded with radiolabeled neurotransmitter. The aim of the study was to compare the different potencies of the specific 5-HT1B receptor agonists to stimulate the auto and heteroreceptors and to modulate the different neurotransmitter release. Results show that under the same experimental conditions, 5-HT and CP93,129 exhibited significantly higher potencies in inhibiting the K+-evoked overflow of [3H]5-HT from synaptosomes of rat striatum (IC50=2.0+/-1.8 nM and 20.5+/-3.1 nM, respectively) than in inhibiting the K+-evoked overflow of [3H]DA from synaptosomes of the same cerebral region (IC50= 0.8+/-0.2 microM and 1.8+/-0.4 microM, respectively), or [3H]ACh from synaptosomes of hippocampus (IC50=1.7+/-0.8 microM for CP93,129). The inhibitory effects of the 5-HT1B receptor agonists on [3H] K+-overflows were antagonized by the selective 5-HT1B receptor antagonist (SB224289), further indicating that the observed effects were 5-HT1B receptor specific. Sumatriptan, a selective r5-HT1D receptor agonist, did not show any significant effect on the K+-overflow of [3H]5-HT in the range of concentrations (10(-10) to 10(-6) M), and did not affect the K+ overflow of [3H]DA or [3H]ACh at concentrations (10(-9) to 10(-4) M), which exclude the involvement of 5-HT1D receptors. These inhibitory effects of the 5-HT1B receptor agonists were highly attenuated by pertussis toxin in the three systems studied, suggesting the involvement of Gi/Go-proteins in the transduction mechanism pathway of the receptor generated signal. In conclusion, these results suggest that 5-HT1B heteroreceptors located on dopaminergic and cholinergic terminals exhibit a lower sensitivity to 5-HT1B receptor agonist and antagonist than do 5-HT1B autoreceptors. The observed difference in functional sensitivities of 5-HT1B auto- and heteroreceptors may represent important consequences in the physiological control of the release of serotonin versus that of other neurotransmitters.

1. In this study we examined the involvement of 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(1D) receptors in the vasocontractile response induced by 5-HT(1B/D)-receptor agonist sumatriptan in rabbit common carotid artery (CCA). 2. Immunoblotting experiments using specific antisera against 5-HT(1B) or 5-HT(1D) receptors revealed the presence of one weak (at 93 kD for 5-HT(1B) or at 105 kD for 5-HT(1D)) and one strong band (at 46 kD for 5-HT(1B) or at 52 kD for 5-HT(1D)) in CCA. 3. Sumatriptan-mediated vasocontractile response was antagonized by SB216641 with an apparent pKb value of 8.6, which was consistent with its affinity for 5-HT(1B) receptor. Antagonism by BRL15572 was weak and calculated apparent pKb (6.0) value was consistent with its affinity for 5-HT(1B) subtype (but not for 5-HT(1D) subtype). This result indicates insignificant or no involvement of 5-HT(1D) receptor in the vasocontractile response. 4. The vasocontractile response induced by sumatriptan was highly sensitive to pertussis toxin treatment of CCA. Nicardipine, a calcium channel blocker, also potently antagonized vasocontractile response induced by sumatriptan. 5. 5-HT, but not sumatriptan, stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in CCA. 6. These results indicate that stimulation of 5-HT(1B) subtype activate a pertussis toxin (PTX) sensitive G protein (Go/Gi) and mediate vasocontraction, in which L-type voltage dependent calcium channels are involved.
