The human 5-HT1A receptor was expressed in Sf9 insect cells to examine desensitization as manifested by agonist-induced uncoupling from G proteins and second messengers. New binding sites were detected after infection of cells with the 5-HT1A receptor-bearing baculovirus. 5-HT1A receptor agonists caused inhibition of cAMP accumulation that could be attenuated by specific receptor antagonists. Brief pretreatment with 5-HT resulted in (1) an uncoupling of receptor from G proteins as evidenced by a loss of high-affinity agonist binding sites and a diminished ability of the receptor to increase incorporation of AA-GTP into endogenous Go alpha-like G proteins, (2) a decreased ability of the receptor to inhibit cAMP accumulation, and (3) increased phosphorylation of the 5-HT1A receptor on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylation occurred in the presence of a number of cyclic nucleotide dependent kinase inhibitors, and desensitization of the cAMP response occurred in the presence of H-7 and also in cells with prolonged exposure to PMA. Both phosphorylation and desensitization were markedly attenuated by 100 nM and 1 microM heparin and demonstrated similar time courses and concentration-response relationships. Those results demonstrate a close association between agonist-induced desensitization and phosphorylation of the 5-HT1A receptor in Sf9 cells through a pathway that mainly does not involve protein kinase A or C and might involve a G protein-linked receptor kinase.

Protein kinase C has been previously shown both to phosphorylate and to desensitize the ability of the human 5-HT1A receptor to inhibit adenylyl cyclase [Raymond, J. R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 14747-14753]. In this study, we examined the effects of short-term treatment with protein kinase A activators on coupling to the inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and on phosphorylation of the human serotonin 5-HT1A receptor in CHO cells that stably express 1200 fmol of receptor/mg of protein. Forskolin induced a concentration- and time-dependent phosphorylation of the receptor that was detectable at 5 min and maximal at 15-30 min with a half-maximal concentration of 10-20 microM. Phosphorylation was also induced by Sp-cAMPS or dibutyryl-cAMP, and blocked by Rp-cAMPS and a pseudosubstrate inhibitor of PKA, but not by heparin (inhibitor of receptor kinase) or sphingosine (inhibitor of PKC). The stoichiometry of phosphorylation induced by forskolin was 1 mol of phosphate per mole of receptor. PKA activators did not induce a measurable desensitization of 5-HT1A receptor-inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity. However, forskolin augmented the desensitization caused by a submaximal concentration of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (300 nM PMA) as evidenced by a rightward shift of the concentration-response curve for 5-HT, and approximately doubled the amount of phosphate incorporated into the receptor by PMA. Forskolin did not augment desensitization or increase the degree of phosphorylation induced by a maximal concentration of PMA (5 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has been shown to induce contraction of tracheal smooth muscle. However, the mechanisms of action of 5-HT are not known. We therefore investigated the effects of 5-HT on phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and its regulation in canine cultured tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) labelled with [3H]-inositol. 5-HT-induced inositol phosphates (IPs) accumulation was time- and dose-dependent with a half-maximal response (EC50) and a maximal response at 0.38 +/- 0.05 and 10 microM, respectively. 2. Ketanserin and mianserin (10 and 100 nM), 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, were equipotent in blocking the 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation with pKB values of 8.46 and 8.21, respectively. In contrast, the dose-response curves of 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation were not shifted until the concentrations of NAN-190 and metoclopramide (5-HT1A and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, respectively) were increased up to 10 microM. 3. Pretreatment of TSMCs with pertussis toxin or cholera toxin did not inhibit the 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation, but partially inhibited the AlF(4-)-induced IPs response. 4. Stimulation of IPs accumulation by 5-HT required the presence of external Ca2+ and was blocked by EGTA. The addition of Ca2+ (3-620 nM) to digitonin-permeabilized TSMCs directly stimulated IPs accumulation. A further Ca(2+)-dependent increase in IPs accumulation was obtained by inclusion of either guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphoshate) (GTP gamma S) or 5-HT. The combination of GTP gamma S and 5-HT elicited an additive effect on IPs accumulation. 5. Treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM, 30 min) abolished the 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation. The concentrations of PMA that gave a half-maximal and maximal inhibition of 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation were 2.2 +/- 0.4 nM and 1 microM, n = 3, respectively. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, at 1 microM, did not influence this response. The inhibitory effect of PMA was reversed by staurosporine, a PKC inhibitor, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PMA is mediated through the activation of PKC. 6. The site of this inhibition was further investigated by examining the effect of PMA on AlF(4-)-induced IPs accumulation in canine TSMCs. AlF(4-)-stimulated IPs accumulation was inhibited by PMA treatment, suggesting that the effect of PMA is distal to the 5-HT receptor. 7. Acetylcholine-induced IPs accumulation was completely inhibited by atropine, but not affected by ketanserin or mianserin, suggesting that 5-HT-induced IPs accumulation is not due to release of acetylcholine.8. These results demonstrate that 5-HT directly stimulates PLC-mediated PI hydrolysis via a pertussis toxin- and cholera toxin-insensitive GTP binding protein in canine TSMCs and that this coupling process is negatively regulated by PKC. 5-HT2 receptors may be predominantly mediating IPs accumulation and presumably IP-induced Ca2+ release may function as the transducing mechanism for 5-HT stimulated contraction of tracheal smooth muscle.

1. Activation of the enzyme protein kinase C (PKC) partially uncouples receptors from the inhibition of Ca2+ current. We have studied the effect of PKC activation on 5-HT1A receptor coupling of Ca2+ currents and 5-HT-induced K+ current (IK,5-HT) in acutely isolated adult rat dorsal raphe neurones. 2. The phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA; 1 microM) did not significantly alter the peak Ca2+ current. A maximal dose of 5-HT inhibited Ca2+ current on average by 52%; after application of PMA, the inhibition was only 30% and the effect was irreversible for the duration of the experiment. 3. The inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol (1 microM) did not reduce the effectiveness of 5-HT. When the kinase inhibitor staurosporine (ST; 200 nM) was added, PMA reduced the effect of 5-HT by only 13.9%. ST partially prevented or reversed the effect of PMA, depending on the order of addition. 4. The voltage-dependent rate or re-inhibition by 5-HT was reduced by PMA, suggesting that fewer activated G-protein subunits are available to interact with Ca2+ channel after the action of PMA. 5. In contrast, PMA (1 microM) did not have a significant effect on IK,5-HT. 6. PKC activation has an inhibitory effect on one branch of the 5-HT1A receptor transduction fork, namely inhibition of Ca2+ influx, but not on the activation of IK,5-HT.

Contractile responses to serotonin (5-HT) of fundic smooth muscle strips isolated from both control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were investigated. Contrary to carbachol (CCh) which causes contractile hyperactivity in DM, 5-HT response tended to decrease in DM compared to that of the control. Pindolol (10(-5)M) increased the value of EC50 of the concentration-response to 5-HT about 2.5 times in both the control and DM. After treatment with pindolol, the maximal tension to 5-HT in DM significantly decreased compared to that of the control. Pindolol showed no effect on the contractile response to CCh. Pindolol significantly inhibited the relaxation caused by isoproterenol in DM more than in the control. Mianserin (10(-5) M) increased the EC50 of the response to 5-HT about 2-2.5 times in both groups, but did not cause a significant difference between the control and DM. The Ca(2+)-induced contraction caused hyperreactivity in DM in the presence of 10(-6) M CCh, but that in DM was not significantly different from the control in the presence of 10(-6) M 5-HT. Pretreatment of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10(-5) M) significantly attenuated the response to 5-HT in the control, but not in DM. Results suggest that the contractile response to 5-HT in DM is related to the altered Ca2+ signal transduction system via disturbed protein kinase C (PKC) activity, and that there are alterations of receptor characteristics and of the density in 5-HT receptor subtypes, especially 5-HT1A, during DM development.

The action of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) via the 5-HT1A receptor on dissociated rat dorsal raphe neurons was characterized under the whole-cell mode by using the nystatin-perforated patch-clamp technique. Under voltage-clamp conditions, 5-HT induced an inwardly rectifying K+ current (I5-HT) in a concentration-dependent manner. I5-HT was mimicked by 8-OH-DPAT and buspirone, which are both 5-HT1A receptor agonists. I5-HT was reversibly blocked by such 5-HT1A receptor antagonists as (S)-UH-301 a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist. I5-HT was antagonized concentration-dependently by such K+ channel blockers as quinine, Ba2+ and 4-aminopyridine but was relatively insensitive to both CS+ and tetraethylammonium. When the neurons were loaded with guanosine 5'-O-3-thiotriphosphate through a patch pipette, the K+ current induced by 5-HT became irreversible. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a sulfhydryl alkylating agent, irreversibly blocked I5-HT. The intracellular perfusion with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), a Ca2+ chelator, or neomycine, a phospholipase C inhibitor, never significantly affected the 5-HT-induced response. 12-Myristate 13-acetate diester (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, had only a weak inhibitory effect on I5-HT, and staurosporine, a PKC inhibitor, failed to significantly occlude I5-HT. Therefore, the K+ conductance activated via the 5-HT1a receptor of dorsal raphe neurons was thus characterized by the sensitivity to such K+ channel blockers as quinine, Ba2+ and 4-aminopyridine. Moreover, G protein which is NEM-sensitive and can couple to the 5-HT1A receptor, is thus considered to activate the inwardly rectifying K+ conductance without being mediated by such second messengers as Ca2+ and PKC.
