1. The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was studied on excitatory neurally mediated non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS) in guinea-pig isolated bronchi. 2. 5-HT (0.1-100 microM) produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the excitatory NANC response with 50.9 +/- 5.0% (n = 5, P < 0.01) inhibition at 100 microM. This inhibition was not significantly affected by the 5-HT2 antagonist, ketanserin (1 microM) when inhibitions (+/- ketanserin) at each concentration of 5-HT were compared by unpaired t tests; however, this concentration appeared to produce a leftward shift (approximately 10 fold) of the 5-HT concentration-inhibition curve. Ketanserin (1 microM) was effective in blocking bronchoconstriction evoked by activation of 5-HT2A receptors on airway smooth muscle. In the presence of ketanserin (1 microM) 5-HT (100 microM) evoked an inhibition of 57.4 +/- 5.9% (n = 5, P < 0.01) with an EC50 of 0.57 microM. 3. Inhibition evoked by 5-HT (0.1-100 microM) was unaffected by the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine (1 microM), the beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118551 (0.1 microM), the 5-HT1A/B antagonist, cyanopindolol (1 microM) or the 5-HT3/4 antagonist, ICS 205-930 (1 microM). 4. Methiothepin (0.1 microM) produced an insurmountable inhibition of the effect of 5-HT (0.1-100 microM), reducing the maximum inhibition produced by 5-HT (100 microM) to 30.2 +/- 5.0% (n = 5, P < 0.001) and suggesting a non-competitive antagonism. Methiothepin inhibited the effect of 5-HT (10 microM) in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 81 nM. 5. Selective 5-HT receptor agonists were also tested on excitatory NANC responses. 5-Carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT, 0.1-100 MicroM) was the most potent, producing a concentration-dependent inhibition with an EC50 of 0.13 MicroM. Calculation of approximate IC25 values (concentration of the agonist required to give a 25% inhibition of the excitatory NANC response) gave a rank order of potency 5-CT > 5-HT> > 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT) >alpha-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (alpha-Me-5HT). Sumatriptan, 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT) and 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-Me-5HT) were essentially inactive with IC25> 100 MicroM.6. 5-HT (10 microM) did not significantly affect contractile responses to exogenously applied substance P(1 nM-10 Microm).7. The effect of 5-HT was unchanged after incubation with the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 Microm). However, pretreatment with charybdotoxin (ChTX,0.1-30 nM), a blocker of the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+channel (K+ca), produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the effect of 5-HT (10 MicroM).8. 5-HT evokes a concentration-dependent inhibition of e-NANC bronchoconstriction in guinea-pig isolated bronchi but does not affect cumulative concentration-dependent contractile responses to substance P, suggesting that inhibition is via a prejunctional receptor. Effects of selective antagonists and agonists suggest that an atypical 5-HT receptor mediates this inhibition. The inhibitory effect of 5-HT does not involve the production of NO, but may involve the opening a ChTX-sensitive K+ca channel.These data suggest that an atypical 5-HT receptor inhibits the release of neuropeptides from sensory C fibres and may act as other inhibitory neuromodulators via the opening of a common K'channel.

1. We investigated the effects of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) on whole-cell barium currents through calcium channels in visualized neonatal rat hypoglossal motoneurones (HMs) in a thin brainstem slice preparation. 2. High voltage-activated (HVA) currents were elicited by depolarizing voltage steps from -70 to 0 mV; low voltage-activated (LVA) currents were evoked using steps to between -30 and -40 mV from hyperpolarized potentials (< -80 mV). 5-HT (1.0 microM) inhibited HVA currents by at least 10% in 70% of HMs tested (n = 99); in those responsive neurones, 5-HT decreased HVA current by 22 +/- 1.3% (mean +/- S.E.M.). In contrast, 5-HT had no effect on LVA current amplitude in HMs (n = 7). 3. Calcium current inhibition was mimicked by 5-carboxamidotryptamine maleate (5-CT), a 5-HT1 receptor agonist, and by R(+)-8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT), a specific 5-HT1A agonist; N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine hydrochloride (TFMPP), a 5-HT1B agonist, was without effect. The effect of 5-HT was blocked by the 5-HT1A antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)butyl]piperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190) but not by ketanserin, a 5-HT2A/2C antagonist. Although R(-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane hydrochloride (DOI), a 5-HT2A/2C agonist, mimicked the current inhibition by 5-HT, it was ineffective in the presence of NAN-190. These data indicate that 5-HT1A receptors mediate calcium current inhibition by 5-HT. 4. Following application of either omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CgTX) or omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA), to block N- and P-type components of calcium current, the 5-HT-sensitive current was reduced; 5-HT had no effect on the current remaining after application of both toxins. Thus, 5-HT inhibits both N- and P-type calcium currents in neonatal HMs. 5. Inhibition of HVA current by 5-HT was irreversible, and subsequent applications of 5-HT were occluded, when GTP gamma S was substituted for GTP in the pipette. In addition, inhibition of HVA current by 5-HT was relieved following depolarizing prepulses. These data indicate that inhibition of calcium channels by 5-HT is mediated by G proteins. 6. Under current clamp, both 5-HT and 8-OH-DPAT decreased the amplitude of the after-hyperpolarization (AHP) that followed action potentials, indicating involvement of a 5-HT1A receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

1. With the use of a thin brain stem slice preparation, we recorded in visualized neonatal rat hypoglossal motoneurons unitary glycinergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) that were evoked by extracellular stimulation of nearby interneurons. We found that 10 microM serotonin (5-HT) presynaptically inhibited this glycinergic synaptic transmission by 85.5%. 2. In the somata of presynaptic interneurons, 5-HT1A receptor activation potentiated inwardly rectifying K+ channels and inhibited voltage-activated calcium channels. 3. In contrast, the 5-HT1B receptor was primarily responsible for inhibition of evoked glycinergic IPSCs; a selective 5-HT1B receptor agonist, N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP, 10 microM), inhibited synaptic transmission by 97.3%. On the other hand, 5-HT1A receptor activation by (+)-8-OH-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OHDPAT, 1 microM) inhibited IPSCs by only 24.1%. A 5-HT1A antagonist, 1-(2-methyoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)-butyl]piperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190, 1 microM), had no effect on synaptic inhibition by 5-HT. 4. In the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) as well as TTX with cadmium (50 microM), we found that 5-HT1B receptor activation by TFMPP reduced the frequency of spontaneous miniature IPSCs (mIPSCs) without changing their mean amplitude. The results suggested that the 5-HT1B receptors activated at the presynaptic terminal inhibited synaptic transmission independent of inhibiting calcium influx through voltage-activated calcium channels. 5. These results indicate that activation of inwardly rectifying K+ channels and inhibition of voltage-activated calcium channels by 5-HT1A receptor activation do not constitute a main pathway for presynaptic inhibition by 5-HT of glycinergic synaptic transmission.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The serotonin-1A agonists buspirone (BU) and ipsapirone (IPSA) have been demonstrated to exert antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Since some antidepressant drugs and the antiepileptic substance carbamazepine have calcium antagonistic properties, the interaction of BU and IPSA with carbamazepine and the organic calcium channel blocker verapamil was analyzed in the low Mg2+ induced model epilepsy which has been shown to be suppressed specifically by organic calcium antagonists. BU and IPSA reduced the frequency of occurrence of low magnesium induced field potentials in CA1 and CA3 areas of the hippocampus slice preparation (guinea pigs) in a dose dependent manner. The subthreshold concentrations which yielded no effect were 5 mumol/l for BU and IPSA, 10 mumol/l for carbamazepine and 2 mumol/l for verapamil. Combinations of these subthreshold concentrations elicited a reduction in the repetition rate of field potentials. The results indicate that BU and IPSA behave additively with verapamil and carbamazepine, which may be due to a common action on the same subtype of calcium channels. It may be assumed that besides their action on 5-HT1A receptors BU and IPSA may also have calcium antagonistic properties.

The memory effects of agonists and antagonists of some serotonin (5-HT)-receptor subtypes were studied in experiments on rats using the method for passive avoidance with punishment reinforcement (step-down). The 5-HT1A-receptor agonist buspirone (1 mg/kg i.p.) elicited behavioural responses which suggested the lack of pronounced effect on learning and retention; the 5-HT1A-receptor antagonists NAN-190 (1 mg/kg i.p.) and pindolol (6 mg/kg i.p.) impaired retention tested 24 hours and 7 days after training as compared to controls. The 5-HT2-receptor antagonist ritanserin (1 mg/kg i.p.) impaired retention tested 24 hours and 7 days after training as compared to controls, while the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron (0.1 mg/kg i.p.) improved it. The 5-HT1/5-HT2-receptor antagonist dotarizine (50 mg/kg orally), characterized by a calcium-antagonistic action, too, exerted some facilitating effect on learning. Most of the effects of the 5-HT-receptor agonists and antagonists were changed when the 5-HT concentration in the synaptic region was increased by the 5-HT-uptake inhibitor fluoxetine (20 mg/kg orally). The results suggest different participation of 5-HT1A-, 5-HT2- and 5-HT3-receptors in the mechanisms of memory process and its modulation by the serotonin level in the cerebral serotonergic synapses.

In this study, serotonin (5-HT) was found to diminish the intracellular calcium, [Ca2+]i, concentrations in a dose-dependent manner in Fura-2-loaded human leukemia (K 562) cells. Prior addition of verapamil (a calcium channel blocker) to the cells abolished the serotonin-induced response, suggesting that the diminution of free [Ca2+]i contents was due to the opening of calcium channels. Thapsigargin (an agent which increases [Ca2+]i via its action on endoplasmic reticulum) augmented the [Ca2+]i contents. Addition of serotonin before or after thapsigargin (THAP) curtailed the THAP-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i, supporting the notion that 5-HT acts on the calcium channels and that it empties, in part, the THAP-stimulated calcium contents. Spiperone and NAN-190, antagonists to 5-HT1A receptor subtype, abolished the serotonin effects on calcium signaling, whereas an agonist to 5-HT1A receptor, 8OHDPAT, mimicked the serotonin-like action on the diminution of the intracellular calcium contents. These results indicate that the 5-HT response is mediated via 5-HT1A serotonergic receptors in these cells. Furthermore, we characterized the 5-HT receptors in K 562 cells. The specific binding of serotonin to these cells was saturable and hyperbolic. The Kd and the Bmax of serotonin binding were 100 nM and 1690 fmol/10(6) cells, respectively. 8-[3H]OH-DPAT also labeled these cells with a Bmax of 2.8 fmol/10(6) cells and a Kd of 20 nM. The specific binding of 8-[3H]OH-DPAT to K 562 cells was displaced by serotonin, 8OH-DPAT, and NAN-190. These results suggest that K 562 cells possess functional 5-HT1A receptors coupled with calcium signaling.

The characteristics of the serotonin (5-HT) output in the dorsal and median raphe nuclei of the rat were studies using in vivo microdialysis. The basal output of 5-HT increased after KCl was added to the perfusion fluid. In contrast, neither the omission of calcium ions nor the addition of 0.5 microM tetrodotoxin affected dialysate 5-HT or 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Reserpine did not decrease the output of 5-HT and 5-HIAA 24 h later and p-chloroamphetamine increased 5-HT in both vehicle- and reserpine-treated rats severalfold. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), at 1 or 10 microM, perfused into the raphe did not change the outputs of 5-HT or 5-HIAA. Higher doses (0.1, 1, and 10 mM) increased extracellular 5-HT in the raphe, probably via an inhibition of uptake. In animals bearing two probes (raphe nuclei and ventral hippocampus), only the 10 mM dose of 8-OH-DPAT perfused into the raphe decreased the hippocampal output of 5-HT and 5-HIAA. The systemic injection of 0.1 mg/kg 8-OH-DPAT decreased dialysate 5-HT and 5-HIAA in the raphe and hippocampus. These results suggest that extracellular 5-HT in raphe nuclei originates from a cytoplasmic pool and is not dependent on either nerve impulse of 5-HT neurons or local activation of 5-HT1A receptors.

The two diphenylbutylpiperazinepyridinyl derivatives, FG5865 and FG5893, have a unique receptor binding profile in that they show very high and essentially equipotent affinities for both 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors. The present report describes the acute effects of FG5865 and FG5893 on presynaptic 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neuronal function in the rat CNS, using established ex vivo and in vivo neurochemical techniques. Post-mortem measurements of tissue levels of 5-HT, its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and of the formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP; after inhibition of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase by NSD 1015) showed that FG5865 (0.1-20 mg/kg, s.c.) and FG5893 (0.1-20 mg/kg, s.c.) dose dependently decreased the synthesis and the metabolism/turnover of 5-HT--this to an extent comparable to the reference 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin. Reserpine (5 mg/kg, s.c.) pretreatment did not prevent the FG5893-induced decrease of 5-HT synthesis rate. In contrast, about 25-50 times higher doses of FG5865 were required to produce a comparable decrease in brain 5-HT synthesis in reserpinized vs. non-pretreated rats. In in vivo microdialysis experiments, both FG5865 (0.1-3.0 mg/kg, s.c.) and FG5893 (0.03-1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) caused a marked and dose-dependent decrease of 5-HT release in the ventral hippocampus. Pretreatment with the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, (+/-)-pindolol (8 mg/kg, s.c.), abolished the FG5865 (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced reduction of 5-HT release, and (-)-pindolol (8 mg/kg, s.c.) similarly reversed the FG5893 (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced decrease. Local infusion of FG5865 into the ventral hippocampus (10 microM, 20-min pulse) resulted in a rapid and transient elevation of the 5-HT output, an effect that was independent of extracellular Ca2+. FG5893, on the other hand, did not affect the 5-HT release upon local administration. The results demonstrate that FG5865 and FG5893 potently affect a range of neurochemical indices of rat brain 5-HT neuronal activity in vivo, in a way consistent with indirect (FG5865) and direct (FG5865 and FG5893) stimulation of the 5-HT1A autoreceptors in the raphe nuclei.

Corticosterone (CT) treatment decreases the magnitude of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A receptor-mediated hyperpolarization in rat CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons. In the present study, we examined the short- and long-term effects of CT on the functionally excitatory 5-HT4 receptor-mediated decrease in the amplitude of the slow afterhyperpolarization (sAHP) that follows a calcium spike and the concomitant decrease in sAHP half decay time. Rats were adrenalectomized (ADX) 2 weeks before the experiment. Data for concentration-response curves were obtained with sharp electrode current clamp recordings in the CA1 pyramidal cell layer of hippocampal slices. Significant changes were found in the 5-HT4 receptor-mediated decrease in sAHP amplitude. The Emax of the 5-HT4 response was significantly increased in cells from ADX rats when the superfusion medium contained 1 nM CT. Short-term administration of 100 nM CT did not alter the 5-HT4 response. Chronic treatment with low concentrations of CT decreased the Emax of the 5-HT4 response. Treatment with CT concentrations that mimic conditions of chronic stress decreased the Emax of the 5-HT4 response and shifted the EC50 to the right. Based on these results we conclude that the magnitude and the potency of the 5-HT4 receptor-mediated decrease in sAHP amplitude is altered by CT. Because the short- and long-term effects of CT treatment are not the same, the actions of CT are time and concentration dependent. CT modulation of the 5-HT4 response is different from its modulation of the 5-HT1A response.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was monitored in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fura-2. Stimulation of TSMCs by 5-HT produced an initial transient peak followed by a sustained, concentration-dependent elevation of [Ca2+]i. The log (EC50) values of 5-HT for the peak and sustained plateau responses were -7.43 and -7.60 M, respectively. 5-HT1A and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, NAN-190 and metoclopramide, inhibited the 5-HT-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i with pKB values of 6.3 and 6.2, respectively, indicating that the 5-HT receptors mediating Ca2+ signal had low affinity for these receptor antagonists. In contrast, 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, ketanserin and mianserin, had high affinity in antagonizing the changes in [Ca2+]i response to 5-HT with pKB values of 8.3 and 8.3, respectively. The sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i was dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ by addition of 2 mM EGTA during the sustained phase caused a rapid decline in [Ca2+]i to the resting level. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, only an initial peak was observed which then declined to the resting level; the sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i could then be evoked by addition of 1.8 mM Ca2+ in the continued presence of 5-HT. Ca2+ influx was required for the changes of [Ca2+]i, since the Ca(2+)-channel blockers, diltiazem, verapamil, and Ni2+, decreased both the initial and sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in response to 5-HT. These Ca(2+)-channel blockers also decreased the sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i when applied during the plateau phase. In conclusion, these findings indicate that the initial increase in [Ca2+]i stimulated by 5-HT acting on 5-HT2A receptors is due to the release of Ca2+ from internal stores, followed by the influx of external Ca2+ into the cells. The influx of extracellular Ca2+ partially involves a diltiazem and verapamil sensitive Ca2+ channel.
