Serotonin 5-HT1A receptors have been reported to be negatively coupled to muscarinic receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in the rat hippocampus. In the present study, we have investigated further the pharmacological specificity of this negative control and attempted to elucidate the mechanism whereby 5-HT1A receptor activation inhibits the carbachol-stimulated phosphoinositide response in immature or adult rat hippocampal slices. Various 5-HT1A receptor agonists were found to inhibit carbachol (10 microM)-stimulated formation of total inositol phosphates in immature rat hippocampal slices with the following rank order of potency (IC50 values in nM): 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (11) greater than ipsapirone (20) greater than gepirone (120) greater than RU 24969 (140) greater than buspirone (560) greater than 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (1,500) greater than methysergide (5,644); selective 5-HT1B, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3 receptor agonists were inactive. The potency of the 5-HT1A receptor agonists investigated as inhibitors of the carbachol response was well correlated (r = 0.92) with their potency as inhibitors of the forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase in guinea pig hippocampal membranes. 8-OH-DPAT (10 microM) fully inhibited the carbachol-stimulated formation of inositol di-, tris-, and tetrakisphosphate but only partially antagonized (-40%) inositol monophosphate production. The effect of 8-OH-DPAT on carbachol-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover was not prevented by addition of tetrodotoxin (1 microM), by prior destruction of serotonergic afferents, by experimental manipulations causing an increase in cyclic AMP levels (addition of 10 microM forskolin), or by changes in membrane potential (increase in K+ concentration or addition of tetraethylammonium). Prior intrahippocampal injection of pertussis toxin also failed to alter the ability of 8-OH-DPAT to inhibit the carbachol response. Carbachol-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in immature rat hippocampal slices was inhibited by the protein kinase C activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (10 microM) and arachidonic acid (100 microM). Moreover, the inhibitory effect of 8-OH-DPAT on the carbachol response was blocked by 10 microM quinacrine (a phospholipase A2 inhibitor) but not by BW 755C (100 microM), a cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitor. These results collectively suggest that 5-HT1A receptor activation inhibits carbachol-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover by stimulating a phospholipase A2 coupled to 5-HT1A receptors, leading to arachidonic acid release. Arachidonic acid could in turn activate a gamma-protein kinase C with as a consequence an inhibition of carbachol-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover. This inhibition may be the consequence of a phospholipase C phosphorylation and/or a direct effect on the muscarinic receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

In order to determine the relevance of 5-HT1A-related signal transduction in the mode of action of lithium and antidepressants, the effects of long-term treatment with these drugs on the 5-HT1A-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were investigated in the rat hippocampal membranes. Chronic administration of antidepressants altered neither the [3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin [( 3H]8-OH-DPAT) binding sites nor the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by 5-HT. Long-term treatment with lithium did not affect the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on the forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, either. Neither the stimulation by forskolin nor the inhibition by guanyl-5'-ylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) of adenylate cyclase activity was not influenced by lithium treatment, suggesting that lithium has no effects on the components of adenylate cyclase system distal to the 5-HT1A receptors. These results indicate that the 5-HT1A-mediated neural transmission has not such an important relevance in the mechanisms of action of lithium or antidepressants.

The interactions of tandospirone (formerly called SM-3997) with 5-HT and other neurotransmitter receptor binding sites were determined in brain homogenates. Tandospirone is most potent at the 5-HT1A receptor, displaying a Ki value of 27 +/- 5 nM. The agent is approximately two to three orders of magnitude less potent at 5-HT2, 5-HT1C, alpha 1-adrenergic, alpha 2-adrenergic, and dopamine D1 and D2 receptors (Ki values ranging from 1300 to 41000 nM). Tandospirone is essentially inactive at 5-HT1B receptors; 5-HT uptake sites; beta-adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic, and benzodiazepine receptors. This pharmacological profile differs slightly from that of other novel anxiolytics such as buspirone, ipsapirone, and gepirone. Saturation and competition studies using 3H-tandospirone also suggest that the drug interacts with 5-HT1A receptor binding sites in rat cortical membranes (KD = 4.5 +/- 0.8 nM; Bmax = 2.2 +/- 0.6 pmol/g tissue). Based on adenylate cyclase studies which measure 5-HT1A receptor-mediated effects, tandospirone displays approximately 60% of the agonist effect of 8-OH-DPAT, a selective 5-HT1A agonist. Thus, the primary pharmacological effect of tandospirone appears to be partial agonism at the 5-HT1A receptor, an activity similar to other pyrimidinyl-piperazines which are being developed as novel anxiolytic agents.

The selective 5-HT1A receptor ligand ipsapirone (IPS) induces corticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol secretion in humans. To explore 5-HT1A receptor-mediated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system activation in depression, 24 subjects (12 patients with unipolar depression and 12 individually matched controls) were given 0.3 mg/kg IPS or placebo in random order. Compared with controls, the depressed patients exhibited significantly decreased ACTH and cortisol responses to IPS in association with increased basal cortisol secretion. The impaired HPA response following 5-HT1A receptor challenge in unipolar depression could have resulted from glucocorticoid-dependent subsensitivity of the (post-synaptic) 5-HT1A receptor itself and/or from a defective postreceptor signaling pathway [inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gi)-adenylate cyclase complex function], thus supporting the hypothesis that a disintegrated 5-HT and HPA system interaction may be present in depression. Future studies of the HPA response to direct-acting 5-HT1A ligands, such as IPS, should facilitate the assessment of 5-HT/HPA system integrity in various affective disorders and its involvement in psychotropic drug effects.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors were originally subclassified into the subtypes M and D based on the findings that 5-HT contracted the guinea-pig ileum by two different mechanisms: (a) directly by an effect on receptors located on smooth muscles (via D receptors), and (b) indirectly by an effect on neuronal receptors (M receptors), the activation of which caused acetylcholine release. With the introduction of radioligand-binding studies and the development of more selective 5-HT agonists and antagonists, it rapidly became apparent that this subclassification is an oversimplification, and it is now accepted that at least three, possibly four main families of 5-HT receptors exist: 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT3 and possibly 5-HT4 receptors. Furthermore, 5-HT1 receptors are not a homogeneous class, but are subdivided further into four subtypes: 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C and 5-HT1D. Whether 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors are also a heterogeneous class of receptors is still a matter of controversy. Besides the differences in specific agonists and antagonists, 5-HT-receptor subtypes seem to differ also in their signal-transduction mechanisms. 5-HT1 receptors (with the exception of 5-HT1C) are coupled to adenylate cyclase, predominantly in an inhibitory fashion, but 5-HT1-mediated activation of adenylate cyclase has been also described. 5-HT2 receptors (and 5-HT1C) are coupled to PI turnover, while 5-HT3 receptors appear to be coupled directly to fast ion channels. On the other hand, 5-HT4 receptors couple obviously in an excitatory fashion to adenylate cyclase.

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor agonists on calcium (Ca2+)-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of the rat were studied. In the presence of Ca2+ (1.5 microM), 5-HT dose dependently inhibited adenylate cyclase activity (EC50 = 10 +/- 2 nM). The inhibitory effect of 5-HT on Ca2(+)-stimulated adenylate cyclase was antagonized by spiperone (KB = 2 +/- 0.8 nM). The rank order of potency of 5-HT agonists to inhibit Ca2(+)-stimulated adenylate cyclase in the hippocampus was: 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) greater than 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) greater than 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) = 5-methoxytryptamine (5-OCH3-T) greater than trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP) greater than m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP). 2-Methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-CH3-5-HT) did not exert an effect on Ca2(+)-stimulated enzyme activity. In the cerebral cortex 5-HT exerted a biphasic stimulatory effect on adenylate cyclase activity in the absence of Ca2+ (EC50 = 0.2 +/- 0.04 nM and 10 +/- 3 microM), whereas 8-OH-DPAT, 5-CT and 2-CH3-5-HT exerted a monophasic effect. In the presence of Ca2+ (1.5 microM), low concentrations of 5-HT, 8-OH-DPAT, 5-CT and 2-CH3-5-HT potentiated adenylate cyclase activity, whereas higher concentrations, except 2-CH3-5-HT, inhibited the enzyme activity. We propose that the 5-HT receptor mediating inhibition of Ca2(+)-stimulated adenylate cyclase in the rat hippocampus corresponds to the 5-HT1A subtype.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In pigs, behavioural responses were examined after administration of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), a full agonist at 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors of the 5-HT1A subtype, and the pyrimidinylpiperazine derivatives ipsapirone and Bay Vq 7813 (2-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinylpropyl]-1,2-benzisothiazol++ +-3(2H) one-1,1-dioxide), which act as partial agonists at 5-HT1A receptors. The most prominent behavioural response examined after 8-OH-DPAT, 0.5 mg/kg i.m., ipsapirone, 2-5 mg/kg i.m., and Bay Vq 7813, 0.5-2 mg/kg i.m. or i.v., were head shakes. The potency of the three drugs to induce this behaviour correlated with their activity at 5-HT1A receptors as determined by inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase, substantiating that the head shake response has potential as a quantitative probe of in vivo receptor function. The 5-HT2/5-HT1C receptor antagonist ritanserin did not counteract the head shakes induced by ipsapirone, suggesting that neither 5-HT2 nor 5-HT1C receptors are involved in mediation of this response to this 5-HT1A receptor agonist in pigs. Once daily administration of Bay Vq 7813 or ipsapirone for 3-5 days led to a reduction in the head shake response. 1-Pyrimidinylpiperazine (1-PP), a pharmacologically active metabolite shared by ipsapirone, Bay Vq 7813, and related pyrimidinylpiperazine derivatives, did not induce behavioural alterations in pigs. The data provide further evidence that marked species differences exist in functional responses to 5-HT receptor ligands.

Agonist occupancy of the cloned human serotonin (5-HT)1A receptor expressed in HeLa cells stimulates Na+/K+ ATPase activity as assessed by rubidium uptake. The purpose of the study was to determine which of the receptor-associated signaling mechanisms was responsible for this effect. 5-HT stimulated Na+/K+ ATPase 38% at 2 mM extracellular potassium, an effect characterized by a decrease in apparent K0.5 from 2.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.8 +/- 0.3 mM potassium without a significant change in apparent Vmax. The EC50 for the transport effect was approximately 3 microM 5-HT. The response was pertussis toxin-sensitive but did not involve inhibition of adenylate cyclase, as stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase by 5-HT was observed in the presence of excess dibutyryl cAMP. Protein kinase C was not required for the response since short-term incubation with the phorbol esters phorbol 12 myristate, 13 acetate (PMA) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) did not mimic the 5-HT effect. Moreover, 5-HT increased Na+/K+ ATPase activity after inactivation of protein kinase C by overnight incubation with PMA. 5-HT and the sesquiterpene lactone thapsigargin increased cytosolic calcium in this cell model, and the EC50 for 5-HT corresponded with that for stimulation of Na+/K+ ATPase. Both thapsigargin and A23187, a calcium ionophore, also increased Na+/K+ ATPase activity in a dose-responsive fashion. The response to 5-HT, thapsigargin, and A23187 was blocked by conditions that removed the cytosolic calcium response. By two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we established evidence for a calcium-sensitive but protein kinase C-independent signaling pathway. We conclude that the 5-HT1A receptor, which we have previously shown to stimulate phosphate uptake via protein kinase C, stimulates Na+/K+ ATPase via a calcium-dependent mechanism. This provides evidence for regulation of two separate transport processes by a single receptor subtype via different signaling mechanisms.

Adult guinea pig hippocampal membranes contain two 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors positively coupled with an adenylate cyclase. One is a typical 5-HT1A receptor and the second is a nonclassical 5-HT receptor that we previously proposed to call 5-HT4. Here, we show that 4-amino-5-chlor-2-methoxy-benzamide derivatives are agonists of 5-HT4 receptors in guinea pig hippocampal membranes. Their effects on the adenylate cyclase of these membranes are not additive with those of 5-HT but are additive with those of RU 24969, a typical 5-HT1 agonist. The effects of benzamides, as well as those of 5-HT, on 5-HT4 receptors are not blocked by 5-HT1, 5-HT2, or 5-HT3 antagonists except ICS 205 903, which does so with a low affinity (1 microM). The potency of benzamides (cisapride greater than BRL 24924 greater than zacopride greater than BRL 20627 greater than metoclopramide) is similar to their effect of 5-HT4 receptors positively coupled with an adenylate cyclase of fetal mouse colliculi neurons.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) and its analogs activate adenylate cyclase in membrane particles from neuroblastoma NCB.20 cells. Low concentrations of GTP (EC50 = 60 nM) were required for activation by serotonin. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) inhibited serotonin-activated cyclase in these cells. The nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (EC50 = 3 nM) and guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (EC50 = 100 nM) substituted for GTP in potentiating serotonin activation. Pretreatment of the cells with cholera toxin potentiated enzyme activation by serotonin, whereas pertussis toxin was found to have little effect, indicating the involvement of the alpha subunit of a stimulatory GTP-binding protein in enzyme activation. Homologous desensitization of the serotonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase was demonstrated in membranes prepared from intact cells pretreated with serotonin. Cell membrane particles that were desensitized to serotonin were still responsive to beta-adrenergic agonists and to prostaglandin E1. Evidence is presented indicating that serotonin stimulation of adenylate cyclase is mediated by receptors that are distinct from other positively coupled receptors (beta-adrenergic, histamine, and prostacyclin). Equilibrium binding analysis with [3H]serotonin, [3H]lysergic acid diethylamide, and [3H]dihydroergotamine suggested that the site density was below the level of detection of binding of these radioligands. The pharmacological characteristics of the serotonin-activated cyclases were analyzed in order to compare these serotonin receptors with the family of different receptor subtypes. Correlation analysis between the potencies of different agonists and antagonists at the cyclase in these cells and their reported relative potencies for different serotonin receptor subtypes showed no correlation with the 5-HT1A, 5HT1B, 5HT1D, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3 receptors. On the other hand, the analysis showed that the NCB.20 serotonin receptors are similar but not identical to the rat and pig brain 5-HT1C receptors and to the serotonin receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase in the trematodes Schistosoma mansoni and Fasciola hepatica. The results point to a novel serotonin receptor which has a low density in these cells.
