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.

Protein kinase C (PKC) activity and translocation in response to the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA), serotonin (5-HT) and thrombin was assessed in human platelets. Stimulation with PMA and 5-HT for 10 minutes or thrombin for 1 minute elicited platelet PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane. The catecholamines, norepinephrine or epinephrine at 10 microM concentrations did not induce redistribution of platelet PKC. Serotonin (0.5-100 microM) and the specific 5-HT2 receptor agonist, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) (10-100 microM) but not the 5-HT1A or 5-HT1B agonists, (+/-) 8-hydroxy-dipropylamino-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) or 5-methoxy-3-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridin) 1H-indole succinate (RU 24969) induced dose-dependent PKC translocations. Serotonin-evoked PKC translocation was blocked by selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, ketanserin and spiroperidol. These results suggest that, in human platelets, PMA, thrombin and 5-HT can elicit PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane. Serotonin-induced PKC translocation in platelets is mediated via 5-HT2 receptors.

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)

We have used single cell clones of Swiss 3T3 cells transfected with genes for the human 5-HT1A or 5-HT2 receptor to study down-regulation and desensitization. After pre-incubation of the cells with serotonin agonists, a time-dependent decrease in [3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin or [3H]ketanserin binding was observed. The pertussis toxin sensitive, 5-HT mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in 5-HT1A receptor transfected cells was diminished by 68% after a 2 h pre-incubation of the cells with 10 microM 5-HT. The pertussis toxin insensitive, 5-HT mediated PI turnover in 5-HT2 receptor transfected cells was decreased by 65% after pre-treatment. While this decrease was paralleled by a decreased potency of 5-HT to stimulate PI turnover, in 5-HT1A cells the potency of 5-HT to inhibit cAMP formation was comparable to control values. The down-regulation and desensitization of the 5-HT2 receptor can be explained by phosphorylation via activated PKC. In contrast, the attenuation of the 5-HT1A receptor-coupled inhibition of cAMP accumulation has to occur by an alternative, as yet unknown, molecular mechanism.

These experiments tested the hypothesis that signalling elements involved in the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) mediate rapid activation of sodium-proton exchange (NHE) in fibroblasts when both signals are initiated by a single G protein-coupled receptor, the 5-HT1A receptor. Similarities between the two processes were comparable concentration-response curves and time-courses, and overlapping sensitivity to some pharmacological inhibitors of tyrosine kinases (staurosporine and genistein), and phosphoinositide 3'-kinase (wortmannin and LY204002). Activation of NHE was much more sensitive to the phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase inhibitor (D609) than was ERK. Neither pathway was sensitive to manoeuvres designed to block PKC. In contrast, Src or related kinases appear to be required to activate ERK, but not NHE. Transfection of cDNA constructs encoding inactive mutant phosphoinositide 3'-kinase, Grb2, Sos, Ras, and Raf molecules were successful in attenuating ERK, but had essentially no effect upon NHE activation. Finally, PD98059, an inhibitor of mitogen activated/extracellular signal regulated kinase kinase, blocked ERK but not NHE activation. Thus, in CHO fibroblast cells, activation by the 5-HT1A receptor of ERK and NHE share a number of overlapping features. However, our studies do not support a major role for ERK, when activated by the 5-HT1A receptor, as a short-term upstream regulator of NHE activity.

Intracellular recordings were made from pyramidal neurons in layers V and VI of the rat medial prefrontal cortex in slice preparations to investigate the effect of the serotonin 5-HT2A,2C receptor agonist (-)-1-2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenol-2-aminopropane (DOB) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced responses. Bath application of either DOB or 5-HT [in the presence of antagonists to 5-HT1A, 5-HT3 and gamma-aminobutytric acid (GABA) receptors] produced a concentration-dependent biphasic modulation of the NMDA responses. They facilitated and inhibited NMDA responses at low (</= 1 microM DOB and </= 50 microM 5-HT) and higher concentrations, respectively. Both the facilitating and inhibitory action were blocked by the highly selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist R-(+)-alpha-(2, 3-dimethoxyphenil)-1-[4-fluorophenylethyl]-4-piperidineme thanol (M100907) and the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ketanserin, thus indicating that both facilitation and inhibition were mediated by the activation of the 5-HT2A receptor subtype. However, the facilitating, but not inhibitory, action of DOB showed a marked desensitization, suggesting that the facilitation and inhibition of NMDA responses resulted from activation of different 5-HT2A receptor subtypes and/or signal-transduction pathways. Indeed, the selective PKC inhibitor chelerythrine and the Ca2+/CaM-KII inhibitor KN-93 prevented the facilitating and inhibitory action of DOB, respectively. We have generated several lines of evidence to indicate the following scenario. Low concentrations of DOB, at presynaptic nerve terminals, markedly enhance NMDA-induced release of excitatory amino acids (EAAs), which then act upon both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors to elicit inward current. The massive inward current masks the postsynaptic inhibitory action of DOB. At higher concentrations, DOB inhibits the release of EAAs and discloses the postsynaptic inhibitory action.

The study was conducted on a human (Jurkat) T cell line, loaded with a Na+ fluorescent probe, SBFI/AM. Serotonin and an agonist of 5-HT3 receptor-channels, 2-methyl-5HT, evoked Na+ influx, whereas the agonists of other serotonergic receptor subtypes, i.e., 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors, failed to induce Na+ influx in these cells. By using 3H-BRL43694, an agonist of 5-HT3 receptor-channels, we characterized 5-HT3 lymphocyte receptors which exhibited a density (Bmax) of 300 +/- 20 fmol/10(6) cells and a Kd of 30 nM in Jurkat T cells. The T-cell 5-HT3 receptor-channel is not regulated either by the protein kinase C or by the free intracellular calcium concentrations as the agents known to activate the PKC and to induce increases in intracellular free calcium concentrations failed to influence the free intracellular Na+ concentrations, [Na+]i, in these cells. Furthermore, an increase in [Na+]i, induced by 2-methyl-5HT, via 5-HT3 receptor-channels seems to stimulate T-cell activation by facilitating the progression of T cells from S to G2/M phase of the cell cycle.

As a testable heuristic, the concept of stress response and adaptation is highly appealing, and the support for the concept is strong. This explanatory model of depression may account for hitherto apparently discordant facts--contradictory symptoms, antidepressant drugs that act on differing systems, facilitation of antidepressant response by augmentation, and response to psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. This article has focused narrowly on specific cellular elements of the stress-adaptational mechanisms, including the AC-PKA and PLC-PKC transductional cascades, together with specific response elements, such as the HPA axis, BDNF, and NMDA receptors; however, other important mechanisms, including specific receptor subtypes (e.g., 5-HT1A and NE alpha 2), transmitter systems (e.g., acetylcholine and depamine), and hormones (e.g., thyroid and growth hormones and prolactin), which may be important, have not been discussed. As the complex interactions of these systems gradually yield to investigation, not only will new treatments be developed, but better matching of treatment to patient may become an achievable goal.

Neurotrophic growth factors are involved in cell survival. However, natural growth factors have a very limited therapeutic use because of their short half-life. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of action of a non-peptidic neurotrophic drug, Xaliproden, a potential molecule for the treatment of motoneuron diseases, since the transduction pathways of this synthetic 5-HT1A agonist are very poorly understood. Xaliproden does not activate the Trk receptor but causes a rapid increase in the activities of the ERK1 and ERK2 isoforms of MAP kinase, which then rapidly decrease to the basal level. We demonstrate that isoforms of the SHC adapter protein are phosphorylated independently of each other and are probably not the source of the Xaliproden-induced MAP kinases activation. The inhibitor of Ras farnesylation, FPT-1, and the protein kinase C inhibitors, GF 109203X and chelerythrine, inhibited the Xaliproden-induced MAP kinase activation, suggesting p21Ras and PKC involvement. Moreover, the observations that the 5-HT1A antagonist, pindobind, and pertussis toxin abolished the Xaliproden-induced ERK stimulation suggested that Xaliproden activates the MAP kinase pathways by stimulating the G protein-coupled receptor, 5-HT1A. These results demonstrate clearly that the non-peptidic compound, Xaliproden, exerts its neurotrophic effects through a mechanism of action differing from that of neurotrophins. These findings suggest that this compound does not involve MAPK activation by TrkA receptor stimulation but acts by MAP kinase pathway by a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism involving 5-HT1A receptors, p21 Ras and MEK-1 and by PKC and Akt pathways.

Through a multidisciplinary approach involving experimental and computational studies, we address quantitative aspects of signaling mechanisms triggered in the cell by the receptor targets of hallucinogenic drugs, the serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. To reveal the properties of the signaling pathways, and the way in which responses elicited through these receptors alone and in combination with other serotonin receptors' subtypes (the 5-HT1AR), we developed a detailed mathematical model of receptor-mediated ERK1/2 activation in cells expressing the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A subtypes individually, and together. In parallel, we measured experimentally the activation of ERK1/2 by the action of selective agonists on these receptors expressed in HEK293 cells. We show here that the 5-HT1AR agonist Xaliproden HCl elicited transient activation of ERK1/2 by phosphorylation, whereas 5-HT2AR activation by TCB-2 led to higher, and more sustained responses. The 5-HT2AR response dominated the MAPK signaling pathway when co-expressed with 5-HT1AR, and diminution of the response by the 5-HT2AR antagonist Ketanserin could not be rescued by the 5-HT1AR agonist. Computational simulations produced qualitative results in good agreement with these experimental data, and parameter optimization made this agreement quantitative. In silico simulation experiments suggest that the deletion of the positive regulators PKC in the 5-HT2AR pathway, or PLA2 in the combined 5-HT1A/2AR model greatly decreased the basal level of active ERK1/2. Deletion of negative regulators of MKP and PP2A in 5-HT1AR and 5-HT2AR models was found to have even stronger effects. Under various parameter sets, simulation results implied that the extent of constitutive activity in a particular tissue and the specific drug efficacy properties may determine the distinct dynamics of the 5-HT receptor-mediated ERK1/2 activation pathways. Thus, the mathematical models are useful exploratory tools in the ongoing efforts to establish a mechanistic understanding and an experimentally testable representation of hallucinogen-specific signaling in the cellular machinery, and can be refined with quantitative, function-related information.
