The alpha 2 adrenergic antagonist [3H]rauwolscine binds with comparable nanomolar affinity to alpha 2 adrenoceptors and the nonadrenergic 5-HT1A receptors sites in human frontal cortex membranes. Addition of 0.5 mM GTP into the incubation medium produces a significant decrease in the amount of [3H]rauwolscine binding sites (Bmax = 230 +/- 16 and 115 +/- 11 fmol/mg protein in the absence and presence of GTP, respectively). The affinity for [3H]rauwolscine remains unchanged (i.e. KD = 40 +/- 0.9 nM and 4.1 +/- 1 nM). This effect of GTP can be attributed to decreased binding of the radioligand to the 5-HT1A receptors. GTP decreases binding of [3H]rauwolscine to nearly the same level as the one corresponding to the alpha 2 adrenoceptors in membranes from both the human frontal cortex and hippocampus. The venom of the marine cone snail, Conus tessulatus, preferentially inhibits [3H]rauwolscine binding to 5-HT1A receptors as compared with the alpha 2 adrenoceptors. Following complete masking of the 5-HT1A receptors by this venom. GTP no longer affects the saturation binding characteristics of [3H]rauwolscine for the remaining alpha 2 adrenoceptors. Nucleotides decrease the binding of [3H]rauwolscine to the 5-HT1A receptors with an order of potencies (i.e. GTP gamma S greater than GPP(NH)P much greater than GDP greater than GTP much greater than ATP) that is typical for nucleotide-mediated receptor-G protein dissociation. This suggests that [3H]rauwolscine is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist and this conclusion is compatible with earlier functional studies, indicating that rauwolscine (as well as yohimbine) has agonistic properties at the level of 5-HT autoreceptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Three pharmacologically distinct high-affinity [3H]serotonin ([3H]5-HT) binding sites were identified in spinal cord synaptosomes. [3H]5-HT competition studies using selective 5-HT1A receptor ligands indicated that approximately 25% of high-affinity synaptosomal [3H]5-HT binding was inhibited by 5-HT1A-selective compounds, an estimate consistent with [3H](+-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin ([3H]8-OH-DPAT) saturation experiments in which 5-HT1A receptors were directly labeled. [3H]5-HT competition studies using high-affinity 5-HT1B compounds performed in the presence of 100 nM 8-OH-DPAT (to block 5-HT1A receptors) indicated that approximately 26% of all specific, high-affinity [3H]5-HT binding to spinal cord synaptosomes was to 5-HT1B receptors. [3H]5-HT competition studies performed in the presence of 100 nM 8-OH-DPAT and 10 nM RU 24969 (to block 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors, respectively) indicated that the remaining 49% of [3H]5-HT binding did not possess the pharmacologic profile previous reported for 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, 5-HT2, or 5-HT3 receptors. This residual 49% of [3H]5-HT binding to spinal cord synaptosomes observed in the presence of 100 nM 8-OH-DPAT and 10 nM RU 24969 (subsequently referred to as "5-HT1S") displayed high affinity and saturability (KD = 4.7 nM) in association/dissociation and saturation experiments. Addition of 300 microM GTP or the nonhydrolyzable form of GTP, 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate, inhibited [3H]5-HT binding to 5-HT1S receptors in saturation experiments by 35 and 57%, respectively, whereas ATP was without effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.

NAN-190 has been reported to be a 5-HT1A antagonist in drug discrimination studies. In order to determine if the effect of NAN-190 was directly due to competitive inhibition at 5-HT1A receptors, 5-HT1A-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase in hippocampal membranes was investigated. NAN-190 (10(-10)-10(-5) M), by itself, was found to have no effect on forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase. NAN-190, however, did shift the 5-carboxamidotryptamine (a 5-HT1A agonist) log-concentration inhibition curve to the right in a concentration-dependent manner, typical of competitive antagonism. Schild analysis revealed a KB of 1.9 nM for NAN-190. Thus, NAN-190 appeared to be a potent competitive 5-HT1A antagonist using the in vitro adenylyl cyclase system. [3H]NAN-190 was synthesized and its 5-HT1A receptor binding properties were characterized and compared with the 5-HT1A agonist radioligand, [3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin ([3H]8-OH-DPAT). The 5-HT1A agonists, serotonin (5-HT) and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) competed with equal affinities regardless of the radioligand used to label the 5-HT1A receptors. [3H]NAN-190 and [3H]8-OH-DPAT labeled the same number of sites in rat hippocampus, striatum and frontal cortex. Guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) and 5-guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (GppNHp), non-hydrolyzable analogs of GTP, inhibited specific [3H]NAN-190 binding. Adenosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (ATP gamma S) and 5-adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AppNHp) were ineffective. This guanylyl nucleotide-specific effect is generally associated with agonist radioligand binding to a GTP-binding protein coupled receptor. However, [3H]8-OH-DPAT was far more sensitive than [3H]NAN-190 to the Bmax reducing effects of GTP and GTp gamma S. We propose that the test for a reduction in Bmax by non-hydrolyzable guanylyl nucleotides may be more sensitive than other tests for quantifying agonist activity and may demonstrate that NAN-190 has low intrinsic activity. In summary, NAN-190 displayed antagonist-like properties in functional models of 5-HT1A receptor activity and possibly partial agonist-like properties in radioligand binding experiments.

The actions of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the electrically induced twitch responses of mouse vas deferens were studied. 5-HT at the concentration range of 10(-8) to 10(-4) M produced a "bell-shaped" concentration-response curve on the field-stimulated twitch contractions; the enhancement of the contractions was maximum at 10(-5) M and progressively reduced at the concentrations of more than 10(-5) M. In the presence of ketanserin, whereas the stimulatory response to low concentrations of 5-HT (less than or equal to 10(-6) M) was not changed, that to high concentrations was reversed. The stimulation by 5-HT (less than or equal to 10(-5) M) was principally antagonized by MDL 72222. In the presence of both MDL 72222 and ketanserin, 5-HT inhibited the twitch contractions in a dose-dependent manner. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and BP-554 (1-[3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxy)propyl]-4-phenyl piperazine), selective 5-HT1A agonists, only inhibited the twitch contractions. Downward slope of the contraction-response curve of 5-HT (greater than or equal to 10(-5) 5 M) was shifted to right in the presence of 8-OH-DPAT. 5-HT and 8-OH-DPAT had no effect on the tension of unstimulated organs. Contractions elicited by ATP were potentiated by 5-HT, which was antagonized by ketanserin. 8-OH-DAPT did not affect ATP-elicited contractions. These results suggest the presence of presynaptic 5-HT1, maybe 5-HT1A and 5-HT3 receptors mediating inhibition and potentiation, respectively, of neurotransmitter release and of postsynaptic responsible for enhancing neurogenic contractions in mouse vas deferens.

In the presence of a 30 nM prazosin mask, [3H]-2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl) aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane ([3H]WB4101) can selectively label 5-HT1 serotonin receptors. Serotonin exhibits high affinity (Ki = 2.5 nM) and monophasic competition for [3H] WB4101 binding in cerebral cortex. Furthermore, we have found a significant correlation (r = 0.96) between the affinities of a number of serotonergic and nonserotonergic compounds at [3H]WB4101-binding sites in the presence of 30 nM prazosin and [3H] lysergic acid diethylamide ([3H]LSD)-labeled 5-HT1 serotonin receptors in homogenates of rat cerebral cortex. Despite similar pharmacological profiles, distribution studies indicate that, in the presence of 5 mM MgSO4, the Bmax of [3H]WB4101 is significantly lower than the Bmax of [3H]LSD in various brain regions. WB4101 competition for [3H] LSD-labeled 5-HT1 receptors fits best to a computer-derived model assuming two binding sites, with the KH for WB4101 being similar to the KD of [3H]WB4101 binding derived from saturation experiments. This suggests that [3H]WB4101 labels only one of the subtypes of the 5-HT1 serotonin receptors labeled by [3H]LSD. Interestingly, the selective 5-HT1A serotonin receptor antagonist, spiperone, and the selective 5-HT1A agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetraline, exhibit high affinity and monophasic competition for [3H]WB4101 but compete for multiple [3H]LSD 5-HT1 binding sites. These data indicate that [3H]WB4101 selectively labels the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor, whereas [3H] LSD appears to label both the 5-HT1A and the 5-HT1B serotonin receptor subtypes. The divalent cations, Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ were found to markedly increase the affinity and Bmax of [3H]WB4101 binding in cerebral cortex. Conversely, the guanine nucleotides guanylylimidodiphosphate and GTP, but not the adenosine nucleotide ATP, markedly reduce the Bmax of [3H]WB4101 binding. These characteristics are typical of agonists interacting with receptors which modulate cellular function via a guanine nucleotide-regulatory subunit.

Spiroxatrine has been reported to be a 5-HT1A serotonin receptor antagonist. Therefore [3H]spiroxatrine was synthesized and its 5-HT1A receptor binding properties in homogenates of rat hippocampal membranes were characterized with the expectation that it would be the first 5-HT1A antagonist radioligand. [3H]8-Hydroxydipropylaminotetralin [( 3H]8-OH-DPAT), a well-characterized 5-HT1A agonist radioligand, was studied in parallel for comparative purposes. Scatchard analyses of saturation studies of [3H]spiroxatrine and [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding produced KD values of 0.9 nM and 1.8 nM, with Bmax values of 424 and 360 fmol/mg protein, respectively. A highly significant correlation (r = 0.98; p less than 0.001) exists between Ki values obtained for a series of drugs in competing for [3H]-spiroxatrine and [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding. Of special interest was the observation that 5-HT1A agonists such as serotonin, 8-OH-DPAT, and ipsapirone competed with equal high affinities for [3H]spiroxatrine or [3H]8-OH-DPAT-labelled 5-HT1A receptors. [3H]Spiroxatrine and [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding to 5-HT1A receptors was inhibited by guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate (a nonhydrolyzable analog of GTP) in a concentration-dependent manner whereas adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate (a nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP) had no effect. The similarities in the 5-HT1A receptor radiolabelling properties of [3H]spiroxatrine and [3H]8-OH-DPAT, i.e., the high affinities of agonists and the guanyl nucleotide sensitivity, indicate that [3H]spiroxatrine has "agonist-like" binding properties in its interaction with the 5-HT1A receptor.

1. An inwardly rectifying K+ current activated by serotonin (5-HT) was recorded from acutely isolated adult dorsal raphe (DR) neurones using the whole-cell recording mode of the patch clamp technique. 2. The 5-HT-induced K+ current (I5-HT) was only visible at an [K+]0 > 5 mM and it was observed in 69% of the cells. 3. The reversal potential for I5-HT was close to the potassium equilibrium potential and was shifted by 51 mV per 10-fold change in [K+]0 indicating that I5-HT was carried predominantly by K+. The chord conductance of I5-HT at -90 mV was proportional to the external [K+] raised to a fractional power. 4. A dose-response relationship revealed that I5-HT was activated with an ED50 of 30 nM. Ba2+ (0.1 mM) blocked I5-HT completely. Spiperone reversibly antagonized the response to 5-HT and 8-OHDPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin) mimicked the response indicating that the receptor activated was of the 5-HT1A subtype. 5. The response to 5-HT was largely prevented by in vitro pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (PTX) indicating the involvement of a PTX-sensitive G-protein in the transduction mechanism. 6. cAMP and lipoxygenase metabolites, both implicated in the modulation of similar currents in other preparations, were found not to alter the effectiveness of 5-HT. 7. Glibenclamide and tolbutamide, blockers of the ATP-regulated K+ channel, did not reduce the effect of 5-HT in DR neurones. 8. These results show that in acutely isolated adult DR neurones 5-HT activates an inwardly rectifying K+ current and this involves a PTX-sensitive G-protein in the transduction pathway which may interact with the K+ channel directly.

The possible involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the control of the electrical activity of central serotoninergic neurons was investigated by recording their firing rate in the dorsal raphe nucleus of rat brain stem slices exposed to various blockers and openers of these channels. Whereas the channel openers lemakalim and aprikalim produced no change in the firing rate of these neurons, the channel blockers glibenclamide and gliquidone were strongly inhibitory. As expected from an effect through ATP-sensitive potassium channels, the inhibition by glibenclamide could be prevented in a competitive manner by lemakalim and aprikalim. In contrast, the inactive isomer of the latter drug, RP 61499, did not alter the glibenclamide effect. In addition to the channel openers, the GABA receptor antagonists, bicuculline and phaclofen, but not the antagonist of somato-dendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors, (-)tertatolol, prevented the negative influence of glibenclamide on the firing rate of serotoninergic neurons. This suggests that GABA acting at both GABAA and GABAB receptors (but not serotonin through the possible stimulation of autoreceptors) was responsible for the effect of glibenclamide. Accordingly, the blockade by the latter drug of ATP-sensitive potassium channels on GABAergic interneurons probably triggered the release of GABA, which in turn, inhibited serotoninergic neurons. In agreement with this hypothetical mechanism, autoradiographic studies demonstrated that ATP-sensitive potassium channels are not located on serotoninergic neurons (but probably on GABAergic interneurons) as the extensive lesion of these neurons by 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine did not reduce the specific labelling of the dorsal raphe nucleus by [3H]glibenclamide.

Quantitative autoradiography of brain tissue has revealed a high density of binding sites for the K-ATP channel antagonists, the sulphonylureas, and for sigma-ligands in the substantia nigra (SN). In view of the high density of the two binding sites in the SN the possibility has been investigated that the K-ATP channel and the sigma-binding site are functionally linked. The K-ATP channel-mediated membrane hyperpolarisation and decrease in input resistance produced by hypoxia and by the metabolic inhibitor, cyanide, in rostral substantia nigra pars compacta neurons are antagonised by the sigma-ligand BMS 181100. In addition, BMS 181100 antagonises activation of the K-ATP channel by diazoxide; cromakalim is found to be without effect in these neurons. Antagonism of the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation is dose dependent and is observed at concentrations of the drug which have no observable effect on the resting membrane properties of the neurons. By contrast, the nonselective sigma ligands 1,3-di-O-tolylguanidine (10 microM) and (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine (100 microM), and the selective sigma 1-ligand (+)-pentazocine (5-10 microM) have no effect on the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation. 5-HT (50-100 microM) and the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (50 microM) also fail to antagonise the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation. The antagonism of the cyanide-induced hyperpolarisation by BMS 181100 persists in the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 microM) and in the presence of high concentrations of (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine, but not under conditions of reduced calcium (0.1-0.2 mM) and raised magnesium (6 mM) concentrations, which block synaptic transmission. It is concluded that in substantia nigra phasic neurons the sigma-binding site does not regulate activation of the ATP-sensitive channel. However, BMS 181100 antagonises K-ATP channel activation in these neurons independently of sigma-binding sites and 5-HT receptors. This action of BMS 181100 is TTX insensitive and Ca2+ dependent.
