NIH-3T3 fibroblasts have been transfected with human serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. Clonal cell lines expressed between 40 and 500 fmol receptor/mg. 5-HT1A agonists strongly inhibited nonstimulated- as well as forskolin- or isoproterenol-stimulated adenylyl cyclase. The effects of 5-HT1A receptor activation on cell growth were investigated. 5-HT1A agonists accelerated cell division, generated foci, and increased DNA synthesis. The stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was much stronger when tyrosine kinase receptors were activated concomitantly. Cyclic AMP (cAMP) elevating agents inhibited DNA synthesis induced by all mitogens tested. The mitogenic activity of 5-HT1A agonists did not seem to be linked to adenylyl cyclase inhibition because 1) we were not able to measure any decrease in intracellular cAMP levels under the conditions of DNA synthesis assay and 2) 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine, which strongly inhibited adenylyl cyclase, was not mitogenic and did not modify the mitogenic effects of 5-HT1A agonists. Pertussis toxin completely blocked potentiation of epidermal growth factor effect induced by 8-hydroxy-di-(n-propyl)aminotetralin, a 5-HT1A agonist, but only partially blocked the one induced by insulin. In conclusion, in transfected NIH-3T3 cells, transforming and mitogenic effects of 5-HT1A agonists involve a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein but do not seem to be linked to adenylyl cyclase inhibition.

Human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)-1A receptors have been transfected in NIH-3T3 cells, and their coupling to adenylyl cyclase was analysed depending on 1) the number of receptor expressed, 2) the experimental conditions used, 3) the nature of the agonists. Two monoclonal cell lines were used, expressing low (45 fmol/mg) and high (500 fmol/mg) levels of 5-HT1A receptor. Two methods were tested to study the negative coupling of the transfected 5-HT1A receptors to adenylyl cyclase: 1) measurement of cAMP production in intact cells, 2) measurement of adenylyl cyclase activity in vitro on membrane preparations. Studies on intact cells revealed that an increase in the receptor concentration was followed by 1) an increase in the efficacies of 5-HT, 5-CT (5-carboxamidotryptamine) and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), 2) a 2 to 3-fold increase in the potency of 5-CT and 8-OH-DPAT, but no change in the potency of 5-HT. In membrane preparations, 8-OH-DPAT dose-response curve was shifted leftwards when the receptor concentration became higher whereas the corresponding shift was smaller for 5-HT and absent for 5-CT. Surprisingly, on membrane preparations, 8-OH-DPAT was a partial agonist relative to 5-HT. The relative efficacy of 8-OH-DPAT was lower in the clone expressing the lowest level of receptor. This partial agonist behavior of 8-OH-DPAT could be modulated by the ionic conditions under which the adenylyl cyclase activity was measured.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The signal transduction linkages of the cloned human 5-HT1A receptor as expressed stably in CHO cells were studied. A transfected clonal cell line which expresses 900 +/- 36 fmol 5-HT1A receptor/mg protein (designated CHO-5-HT1A/WT-27) responded to 5-HT and/or 8-OH-DPAT by coupling to several second messenger pathways. The 5-HT1A receptor inhibited, but did not stimulate, membrane adenylyl cyclase activity and whole cell cAMP accumulation in a dose-dependent manner (for 5-HT, IC50 = 146 +/- 27 and 55 +/- 12 nM, respectively). Activation of the receptor was associated with other signal transduction linkages: (i) a 40-50% increase in hydrolysis of inositol phosphates (for 5-HT, EC50 = 1.33 +/- 0.15 microM for 5-HT), (ii) a transient elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ levels (apparent at 1-100 microM 5-HT) which was not affected by chelation of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA, and (iii) an augmentation of [3H]-arachidonic acid release pharmacologically with the calcium ionophore A23187 or by activation of endogenous thrombin or P2 purinergic receptors (for 5-HT, EC50 = 1.22 +/- 0.17 microM). This pathway may be an amplification mechanism for signaling in anatomic regions with high concentrations of several neuro-transmitters, hormones or autacoids, such as at neuronal junctions or near areas of platelet aggregation. All linkages were sensitive to pertussis toxin pre-treatment (IC50 approximately 0.5-0.6 ng/ml x 4.5 h for all pathways), suggesting the involvement of Gi protein(s) in these signal transduction pathways. Coupling to varied signal transduction pathways in a single cell system may be a common feature of receptors which classically inhibit adenylyl cyclase such as the 5-HT1A receptor.

Signaling through serotonin 5-HT1A receptors involves multiple pathways. We have investigated the functional coupling of the human 5-HT1A receptor to different G proteins using an in vitro reconstitution system based on the expression of recombinant receptor (r5-HT1A) and G alpha-subunits (rG alpha) in Escherichia coli. The r5-HT1A receptor was expressed by insertion in a vector allowing its active expression in E. coli inner membranes. Binding of the selective agonist [3H] +/- 8-hydroxy-(2-N-dipropylamine)tetralin ([3H]8-OH-DPAT) to intact bacteria or E. coli membranes was saturable with a KD of approximately 8 nM and an average of 120 sites/bacterium. Binding properties of several serotoninergic ligands to r5-HT1A receptors were comparable with those measured in mammalian cells. Incubation of rG alpha.beta gamma with E. coli membranes resulted in high affinity agonist [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding (KD = 0.7 nM) and titration with a panel of rG alpha subtypes showed the order of potency: rGi alpha-3 greater than rGi alpha-2 greater than rGi alpha-1 much greater than rGo alpha, while rGs alpha appeared incapable of interacting with 5-HT1A receptors. Moreover, agonist-mediated enhancement of [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) binding to rGi alpha confirmed the achievement of the functional interaction between receptor and G proteins. Our findings are in agreement with the in vivo ability of 5-HT1A receptors to activate Gi alpha related to adenylyl cyclase inhibition or K+ channel activation, but do not support previously reported adenylyl cyclase stimulation through interaction with Gs alpha.

Human serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A] receptors have been transfected in NIH-3T3 cells, and their pharmacology and coupling to adenylyl cyclase have been analyzed. Three cellular preparations were used, 1) monoclonal cell lines (clones 6, 2B, and 4B), expressing 45, 280, and 500 fmol of 5-HT1A receptors/mg of protein, respectively; 2) clones 6, 2B, and 4B in which the concentration of 5-HT1A receptors was increased after stimulation of the glucocorticoid-inducible promoter with dexamethasone; and 3) polyclonal cell lines that expressed an increasing amount of 5-HT1A receptor as a function of cell passage. The transfected 5-HT1A receptors inhibited basal, forskolin-stimulated, and isoproterenol-stimulated adenylyl cyclase. The inhibition was dependent on the receptor density expressed, increasing from 60% at low density (45 fmol/mg) to 90% at a density higher than 280 fmol/mg. The pharmacology of the 5-HT1A receptor was studied, with particular attention being paid to the behavior of some agonists. These pharmacological characteristics are similar to those of 5-HT1A receptors in hippocampus but different from those of 5-HT1A in cerebral cortex. Analysis of the potencies and efficacies of the full agonist 5-HT and the partial agonist ipsapirone, as a function of receptor density in the three cellular populations used, revealed that 1) the efficacies of the full and partial agonists increased with the receptor density; 2) the EC50 values of the full and partial agonists were not shifted to the left when the receptor density was increased (based on the increase in efficacy and considering the classical pharmacological models of receptor-drug action, a 9-10-fold shift was expected); and 3) the ratio between the efficacies of the full agonist 5-HT and the partial agonist ipsapirone was not modified when the receptor concentration was increased or when the GTP-binding protein availability was decreased. The results indicate that neither the classical nor the operational model of drug-receptor action can be used to describe the coupling of 5-HT1A receptors to adenylyl cyclase in transfected NIH-3T3 cells. One of the explanations could be that 5-HT1A receptors and GTP-binding proteins are coupled in functional domains (almost precoupled), rather than distributed in homogeneous compartments in which they are free to diffuse.

1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)butyl]piperazine (NAN-190; 1a) is a putative postsynaptic 5-HT1A serotonin antagonist. This high affinity ligand (Ki = 0.6 nM), although selective for 5-HT1A versus other 5-HT receptors, binds with nearly equal affinity at alpha 1-adrenergic receptors (Ki = 0.8 nm). Structure-affinity relationship studies were conducted in order to achieve an improved selectivity. Replacement of the phthalimide moiety by substituted benzamides led to retention of 5-HT1A affinity but to no improvement in selectivity, whereas replacement by alkyl amides proved beneficial, leading to an improvement in affinity and selectivity. Branching alpha to the amide carbonyl group and increased bulkiness of the alkyl moiety further improved 5-HT1A affinity and selectivity. 4-[4-(1-Adamantanecarboxamido)butyl]-1- (2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (2j) was found to bind at 5-HT1A sites with high affinity (Ki = 0.4 nM) and with a 160-fold selectivity over alpha 1-adrenergic sites. Preliminary studies show that this agent retains antagonist activity as determined in a 5-HT1A-coupled adenylyl cyclase assay. Further functional studies are warranted to fully characterize this agent.

Heterologous expression of the rat 5-HT1A receptor in stably transfected GH4C1 rat pituitary cells (clone GH4ZD10) and mouse Ltk- fibroblast cells (clone LZD-7) (Albert, P.R., Zhou, Q.-Y., VanTol, H.H.M., Bunzow, J.R., and Civelli, O. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 5825-5832) was used to characterize the cellular specificity of signal transduction by the 5-HT1A receptor. We demonstrate that the 5-HT1A receptor, acting via pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins, can change its inhibitory signaling phenotype and become a stimulatory receptor, depending on the cell type, differentiation state, or intracellular milieu of the cell in which it is expressed. When expressed in pituitary GH4ZD10 cells, activation of 5-HT1A receptors decreased both basal and vasoactive intestinal peptide-enhanced cAMP accumulation and blocked (+/-)-Bay K8644-induced influx of calcium, inhibitory responses which are typical of neurons which endogenously express this receptor. Similarly, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) also inhibited adenylyl cyclase in fibroblast LZD-7 cells, reducing the forskolin-induced enhancement of cAMP levels by 50%, but did not alter basal cAMP levels. In contrast to GH4ZD10 cells, where 5-HT had no effect on basal or thyrotropin-releasing hormone-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover, 5-HT enhanced the accumulation of inositol phosphates and induced a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i in LZD-7 cells. These dominant stimulatory actions of 5-HT, as well as the inhibitory effects, were absent in untransfected cells and displayed the potency and pharmacological specificity of the 5-HT1A receptor, indicating that the 5-HT1A subtype coupled to both inhibitory and stimulatory pathways in the fibroblast cell. The actions of 5-HT in GH and L cells were blocked by 24-h pretreatment with pertussis toxin, suggesting that inhibitory G proteins (Gi/G(o)) mediate both inhibitory and stimulatory signal transduction of the 5-HT1A receptor. However, the 5-HT-induced stimulatory pathway in fibroblasts was blocked selectively by acute (2-min) pretreatment with TPA, an activator of protein kinase C. This action of protein kinase C was potentiated by activation of protein kinase A, indicating that the expression of the stimulatory pathway of the 5-HT1A receptor in LZD-7 cells is modulated by second messengers.

The cloned 5-HT1A receptor, stably expressed in HeLa cells, has been shown to mediate the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) to inhibit cAMP formation and to stimulate the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol. Both responses were found to be pertussis toxin sensitive. We have examined these two responses in membranes derived from these cells and show that the 5-HT1A receptor can directly regulate the activity of adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C in response to agonist. In order to examine whether the same or distinct guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) (G protein) are involved in these two signal transduction pathways, we used anti-peptide antibodies recognizing the alpha-subunits of Gi1, Gi2, Gi3 as specific tools, since these pertussis toxin substrates are expressed in HeLa cells. These antibodies have previously been shown to prevent receptor-G protein coupling by binding to the regions of G proteins which are putatively involved in interaction with receptors. Our results indicate that the Gi proteins, but preferentially Gi3, mediate the effects of 5-HT both to inhibit adenylyl cyclase and to stimulate phospholipase C. These findings demonstrate that the same receptor interacting with the same G protein can regulate several distinct effector molecules.

The effects of short-term phorbol ester treatment of CHO cells that stably express 900 fmol of recombinant human serotonin 5-HT1A receptor/mg of protein on coupling to the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and on phosphorylation of the receptor were studied. Pretreatment of cell monolayers with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) caused a dose- and time-dependent shift of the half-maximal dose of serotonin (5-HT) required to inhibit membrane adenylyl cyclase (from IC50 approximately 100 nM to approximately 400 nM). This desensitization (shift in IC50) was rapid, occurring with 5 min of pretreatment and being maximal by 10-15 min; it was also dose-dependent, being half-maximal at approximately 300 nM PMA. Desensitization was also induced by sn-dioctanoylglycerol (DiC8) and blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors sphingosine and 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7). In detached permeabilized cells, PMA pretreatment caused a rapid phosphorylation of immunoprecipitated 5-HT1A receptors, with an approximately 3-4-fold increase that was maximal after 15 min and persisted for 90 min. The phosphorylation occurred at a similar dose of PMA as that which induced desensitization (half-maximal at approximately 300 nM, maximal at 500 nM to 1 microM), could be reproduced by pretreatment with the PKC activators DiC8 or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), and could be blocked by the PKC inhibitors sphingosine or H-7. The stoichiometry of the phosphorylation was approximately 2 mol of [32P]ATP/mol of receptor, suggesting the involvement at least two of three putative PKC sites within the 5-HT1A receptor. The close concordance between the PKC-induced desensitization and phosphorylation suggests a potential causative link between these two effects of PKC on the human 5-HT1A receptor.

The effects of chronic treatment with desimipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant), fluoxetine [a specific 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitor], clorgyline (a specific monoamine oxydase inhibitor of A type), ipsapirone (a specific 5-HT1A receptor agonist) as well as electroconvulsive shock treatment were investigated on rat hippocampal 5-HT1A receptors negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. Drugs were injected intraperitoneally in rats for 2 or 3 weeks, and biochemical determinations were made 4 to 72 hr after the final dose. Chronic treatments with desimipramine, ipsapirone and fluoxetine did not induce any change in the 5-HT1A-induced inhibition of the adenylyl cyclase activity. In contrast, chronic treatment with clorgyline and electroconvulsive shock treatment induced a slight but significant reduction of 5-HT's ability to inhibit hippocampal adenylyl cyclase. This indicates that, at least in hippocampal neurons, the 5-HT1A receptor coupled to adenylyl cyclase is not easily desensitized. This was verified in vitro on murine hippocampal neurons in culture, by measuring the effects of intense stimulation (1 and 2 hours), with 5-HT, ipsapirone and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin. Indeed, such stimulations did not significantly affect the 5-HT1A receptor-induced inhibition of cAMP production in these hippocampal neurons in culture. Our results indicate that it is not the post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptor of hippocampus that is modified during antidepressant treatments, at least at the level of its coupling to adenylyl cyclase.
