Besides their neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulatory roles, many neuroactive substances synthesized and released during brain development can also directly influence neuronal differentiation. Transitory expression of neurotransmitters, their metabolic enzymes and their receptors is only one aspect of this trophic role. The most considerable progress in neurotrophic factor research has been made with the use of primary cultures of neuronal cells, and numerous studies have focused on the effects of neurotransmitters on the differentiation of cells at various stages of development. Thus, several neuropeptides like VIP, substance P, enkephalins, somatostatin, and monoamines, can modulate neuronal differentiation, but only during a limited period of fetal life. Among the monoamines, it was shown that, depending on the target, 5-HT stimulates the development of the neuropile, the myelinization of axons, the differentiation of the synaptic contacts, induces markers of monoaminergic neuron differentiation, inhibits the development of the growth cone, decreases the branching of neurites, and influences the survival, cell body size, and neurite outgrowth in several neuronal cultures. 5-HT can also indirectly influence the differentiation of serotonergic neurons by the intermediate of astrocytes, and it was shown in our laboratory that 5-HT1A agonists can stimulate the cholinergic parameters of primary cultures of rat fetal septal neurons. At the molecular level, the events triggered by neurotransmitters that underlie their neurotrophic action probably involve the transmembrane influx of calcium. To date, calcium regulation of cellular processes is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of research in developmental neurobiology.

Intrathecal (i.th.) administration of substance P (SP, 6.5 nmol) at the Th 8-10 level in conscious rats increased blood pressure (carotid artery), heart rate and plasma catecholamine concentrations. The responses were antagonized by the intravenous (i.v.) but not i.th. pretreatment with the 5-HT2-receptor antagonists ketanserin and ritanserin and intrathecally administered serotonin (5-HT, 10 micrograms). The pressor response and the increase in plasma noradrenaline concentrations were also antagonized by i.v. or i.th. pretreatment with the 5-HT1A-agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). In contrast the pressor response to SP was facilitated by the 5-HT1A-antagonist 1-pindolol (i.v. or i.th). Pretreatment with SP (i.th) reduced the hypotensive response to i.v. 8-OH-DPAT. These results demonstrate functional interactions between SP and serotonergic mechanisms in the central system, but the precise location and nature were not elucidated.

Microinjections of substance P (SP, 100 pmol) into the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) in conscious rats increased blood pressure and heart rate for 30-40 min. Concomitantly, the extracellular levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the ventral hippocampus, monitored by microdialysis, increased by 30% for 20 min compared with the vehicle control. Pretreatment with the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, ritanserin (1 mg/kg i.v.), prevented the pressor response to SP but not the increase in heart rate. Pretreatment with the partial 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-methoxy-2-(N-2-chloroethyl-N-n-propyl)amino tetralin (8-MeO-CLEPAT, 10 micrograms/kg i.v.) prevented the increase in both blood pressure and heart rate. It is suggested that microinjections of SP into the DRN increase blood pressure through activation of serotonergic DRN neurons and that the postsynaptic receptor responsible for the pressor response is of the 5-HT2 type.

The effects of various manipulations of brain 5-HT mechanisms on the behavioural responses induced by the selective NK-3 tachykinin agonist senktide in rodents were assessed. Senktide elicited wet dog shakes in the rat which were attenuated by the 5-HT1C/2 antagonist mianserin and the selective 5-HT2 antagonist altanserin. Senktide-induced forepaw treading was stereospecifically attenuated by the 5-HT1A + B antagonist (-)-alprenolol. Senktide also elicited chewing mouth movements and yawning, which were unaffected by mianserin, altanserin, (+)- or (-)-alprenolol, or the selective 5-HT3 antagonist ICS 205-930, but attenuated by the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine. Penile grooming elicited by senktide was attenuated by mianserin, but was unaffected by the other antagonists. Senktide-induced wet dog shakes were enhanced by the 5-HT reuptake inhibitors citalopram and fluoxetine, suppressed by the monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor pargyline, but unaffected by the MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline. Forepaw treading was potentiated by citalopram and clorgyline, but not significantly altered by fluoxetine or pargyline. Depletion of 5-HT by p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) in the rat attenuated senktide-induced wet dog shakes and forepaw treading. Neither PCPA nor 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine affected senktide-induced behaviours in the mouse, but the degree of brain 5-HT depletion caused by these treatments in mice was relatively small. These findings indicate that stimulation of NK-3 tachykinin receptors by senktide results in a complex behavioural syndrome which is mediated by multiple 5-HT receptors, and dependent upon intact stores of endogenous 5-HT. Independent stimulation of brain cholinergic mechanisms by senktide is also confirmed.

The antinociceptive effects of intrathecally administered 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), a potent 5-HT receptor agonist, were studied in three behavioral tests in mice: the tail-flick test and the intrathecal substance P and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) assays. Intrathecal administration of 5-MeO-DMT (4.6-92 nmol/mouse) produced a significant prolongation of the tail-flick latency. This action was blocked by 5-HT3 and gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor antagonists but not by 5-HT2, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B or 5-HT1S receptor antagonists. Binding studies indicated that 5-MeO-DMT had very low affinity for 5-HT3 receptors. 5-MeO-DMT inhibited biting behavior while increasing scratching behavior induced by intrathecally administered substance P. The inhibition of biting behavior was antagonized by intrathecal co-administration of 5-HT1B and GABAA receptor antagonists while 5-HT1A, 5-HT1S, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists had no effect. 5-MeO-DMT-enhanced scratching behavior was inhibited by all the antagonists used except ketanserin and bicuculline, suggesting the involvement of 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1S, 5-HT3 and GABAA receptors. NMDA-induced biting behavior was inhibited by 5-MeO-DMT pretreatment; this action was antagonized by 5-HT1B, 5-HT3 and GABAA receptor antagonists. The involvement of these receptors in 5-MeO-DMT action suggests that it may promote release of 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine, serotonin).

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.

This study investigated whether activation of serotonin1A [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A] receptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord attenuates the reflex pressor response to static contraction and passive muscle stretch. In addition, we determined if the attenuation of the response to contraction is mediated by inhibiting substance P (SP) release in the dorsal horn. Static contractions of the triceps surae muscle of chloralose-anesthetized cats were induced by stimulating the cut L7 and S1 ventral roots. Microdialysis (10 mM) of a selective 5-HT1A agonist [8-hydroxy-2-(di-N-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT)] into the L7 dorsal horn region produced a reversible attenuation of the reflex pressor response to a 1-min contraction (in mmHg: control = 36 +/- 3; 8-OH-DPAT = 17 +/- 3; recovery = 31 +/- 8; P = 0.013; n = 6) or passive stretch (in mmHg: control = 36 +/- 6; 8-OH-DPAT = 15 +/- 2; recovery = 32 +/- 6; P = 0.002; n = 6). However, a 5-HT1B agonist, 1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]piperazine, had no effect on the reflex pressor response. During 5-min contractions (n = 8), 8-OH-DPAT (10 mM) also blunted the pressor response but had no effect on the levels of SP-like immunoreactivity (in fmol/100 microliters: control = 0.492 +/- 0.026; 8-OH-DPAT = 0.501 +/- 0.034). These results suggest that activation of 5-HT1A receptors in the dorsal horn attenuates the reflex pressor response to contraction through a mechanism other than inhibition of SP release.

Intracellular electrophysiological methods were used to examine the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(4-[1-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonyl]) benzamide hydrochloride (renzapride), cis-4-amino-5-chloro-N[1-[3- (4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl[-2-methoxybenzamide monohydrate (cisapride) and endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-3- (1-methyl)ethyl-2-oxo-1 H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamidehydrochloride (BIMU 8) on noncholineric slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials (slow EPSPs) in myenteric afterhyperpolarization (AH) neurons of guinea pig ileum. 5-HT (0.01-1 microM) and 5-CT (0.001-0.1 microM) produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of slow EPSPs. The 5-HT1A receptor antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimidobutyl]piperazine (NAN-190) produced rightward shifts in 5-HT and 5-CT concentration-response curves; facilitation of slow EPSPs was never observed. 5-MeOT caused a depolarization and inhibited spike afterhyperpolarizations in a concentration-dependent manner but this effect was not blocked by the 5-HT3/5-HT4 receptor antagonist, tropisetron (1 microM). Renzapride (0.01-0.3 microM), cisapride (0.01-1.0 microM) and BIMU 8 (0.01-1.0 microM) did not change the membrane potential of any neuron tested. Renzapride and BIMU 8 did not change the amplitude of slow EPSPs. In 13 of 19 neurons cisapride did not change the amplitude of slow EPSPs; in 6 neurons cisapride (1 microM) reversibly inhibited the slow EPSP. Responses to substance P which mimicked the slow EPSP were not affected by cisapride.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Release of substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) from dissociated enteric ganglia and the receptor-mediated prejunctional inhibition of this release were investigated with the use of a perifusion technique. SP-LI release was evoked by elevated extracellular K+ concentration and was inhibited, in a graded manner, by N6-cyclopentyl adenosine (CPA), an adenosine analogue with selectivity for adenosine A1 receptors. Similar inhibition of SP-LI release was obtained with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT); incrementing concentrations, however, yielded a biphasic concentration-response relationship. The selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentyl-xanthine abolished the inhibition due to CPA, whereas the inhibitory action of 5-HT was sensitive to the 5-HT1A-selective antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)butyl]-piperazine hydrobromide. Inhibition due to both agonists was insensitive to blockade by tetrodotoxin, suggesting a prejunctional locus for both adenosine and 5-HT1A receptors on the tachykininergic nerve endings. Pretreatment of ganglia with pertussis toxin had no effect on CPA-mediated inhibition of SP-LI release, whereas 5-HT-mediated inhibition was abolished. The findings demonstrate that adenosine and 5-HT receptors on enteric nerve endings are coupled to inhibition of tachykinin release through distinct mechanisms, putatively distinct G proteins.

The modulatory effect of spinal serotonin (5-HT)1 receptors on nociception was studied in mice. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and buspirone, putative 5-HT1A agonists, m-trifluoromethylphenyl-piperazine (TFMPP) and 7-trifluoromethyl-4(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-pyrrolo(1,2-1a)quinoxaline (CGS 12066B), 5-HT1B agonists, and 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), a mixed 5-HT1A and 5HT1B agonist, were used. Intrathecal administration of 8-OH-DPAT, buspirone and 5-CT (1-12 nmol/mouse) significantly facilitated the tail-flick reflex, whereas TFMPP and CGS 12066B prolonged tail-flick latency. When administered i.t. after s.c. pretreatment (25 min) with morphine sulfate, 8-OH-DPAT, buspirone and 5-CT shifted the morphine sulfate dose-response curve 3- to 5-fold to the right. Spiperone, propranolol and pindolol (mixed 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B antagonists) effectively reversed both the tail-flick facilitation and the antagonistic effect on morphine sulfate-induced antinociception produced by 8-OH-DPAT and 5-CT. In addition, simultaneous i.t. administration of 8-OH-DPAT with substance P or N-methyl-D-aspartic acid decreased biting but increased scratching behavior, an effect which is also blocked by the 5-HT1 antagonists. These results confirm and extend other reports on the facilitory role of 5-HT1A receptor subtype on nociceptive responses and support the involvement of 5-HT1B receptor subtype in the antinociceptive action of serotonin.
