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)

The effects of anti-idiotypic antibodies (alpha-id) that recognize serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] receptors on myenteric neurons of the guinea pig small intestine were characterized electrophysiologically, and alpha-id binding sites were located immunocytochemically. Initial applications of the alpha-id mimicked each of three actions of 5-HT: a rapid depolarization, associated with a fall in input resistance (Rin), which was inhibited by the 5-HT3 antagonists tropisetron (> or = 1 microM) and renzapride (100 microM); a slow membrane depolarization, associated with increased Rin, that was inhibited by the 5-HT1P antagonist renzapride but was unaffected by a 5-HT4 blocking concentration of tropisetron (10 microM); and a hyperpolarization, associated with decreased Rin, that was antagonized by the 5-HT1A inhibitor NAN-190. Cross-desensitization was observed between responses to 5-HT and the alpha-id. After exposure to the alpha-id, subsequent responses to the alpha-id, 5-HT, and stimulus-evoked slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials were antagonized; however, responses to carbachol and substance P were unaffected. The alpha-id thus specifically inhibits the effects of endogenously released and exogenously applied 5-HT. The alpha-id bound to sites on myenteric and submucosal neurons and a subepithelial nerve plexus. Binding of the alpha-id was blocked by 5-HT1P-, 5-HT3-, and 5-HT4-specific antagonists. We concluded that the alpha-id binds selectively to all known subtypes of 5-HT receptor in the enteric nervous system and is thus useful for investigating the gastrointestinal function of 5-HT.

1. In the Fisher 344 rat, tachykinins have been shown to cause the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from airway mast cells, which then causes direct smooth muscle activation as well as the release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerves. The aim of the present study was to examine the modulatory effects of 5-HT receptors on the neurokinin A (NKA)-induced release of endogenous 5-HT and airway smooth muscle contraction in the isolated Fisher 344 rat trachea. 2. The selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ketanserin (0.1 microM) produced an almost complete inhibition of the contractions caused by NKA (n=4, P<0.0001, two-way ANOVA), and a significant rightward shift of the concentration-response curve to 5-HT (n=8, P<0.001, two-way ANOVA). 3. The partial agonist for 5-HT1A receptors, 8-OH-DPAT (1 microM), and the full agonist for 5-HT1 receptors, 5-CT (0.3 microM), potentiated the submaximal contractions induced by the 5-HT2 receptor agonist alpha-methyl-5-HT (0.1 microM) (n=4; P<0.005 and P<0.05, respectively). 8-OH-DPAT (1 microM), as well as the 5-HT1A receptor antagonists pMPPI, SDZ 216525 and NAN-190 (0.1 microM each), caused significant inhibition of the tracheal contractions induced both by NKA (10 nM-3 microM) and 5-HT (10 nM-10 microM) (n=4-10). This suggests that activation of 5-HT1A receptors potentiates the 5-HT2 receptor-mediated contractions. 4. SDZ 216525 (0.1 microM) significantly reduced the maximal contraction produced by 1 microM NKA (n=10, P< 0.001), without affecting the release of endogenous 5-HT. These data rule out the involvement of a 5-HT1A receptor-mediated positive feedback mechanism of the 5-HT release from mast cells. 5. Even in the presence of atropine (1 microM), 8-OH-DPAT (1 microM) further reduced the maximal NKA-induced contraction (n=4, P<0.0001), while the contractions of the rat isolated trachea induced by electrical field stimulation and the concentration-response curve to carbachol were unaffected by pMPPI (0.1 microM), SDZ 216525 (0.1 microM), NAN-190 (0.1 microM) and 8-OH-DPAT (1 microM) (n=4-6). These data demonstrate that the 5-HT1A receptor-mediated potentiation of contractile responses is not due to nonspecific inhibition of airway smooth muscle contraction or to modulation of postganglionic nerve activation. 6. The selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist GR 127935, the selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron and the selective 5-HT4 receptor antagonists SB 204070 and GR 113808 (0.1 microM each) had no effect on the concentration-response curve for NKA (n=6-10), ruling out the involvement of 5-HT1B/1D, 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors. 7. The alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonist phentolamine (1 microM) had no effect on the 5-HT-induced contractions (n=4), ruling out the involvement of alpha-adrenoreceptors. 8. In conclusion, the tachykinin-induced contraction of the F334 rat isolated trachea is mediated by the stimulation of 5-HT2 receptors. Activation of 5-HT1A receptors located on airway smooth muscle potentiates the direct contractile effects of 5-HT2 receptor activation. The 5-HT1B/1D, 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors are not involved in the NKA-induced contraction of rat airways.

We studied the effect of NAN-190 (5-HT(1A) antagonist), ketanserin (5-HT(2) antagonist) and ICS 205-930 (5-HT(3) antagonist) on tooth pulp stimulation (TPS)-induced 5-HT release and substance P (SP) release in the superficial layers of the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (SpVc-I,II) in the presence or absence of electro-acupuncture (EAP). TPS slightly increased 5-HT release and significantly increased SP release. In combination with EAP, TPS-induced 5-HT release was remarkably enhanced, whereas SP release was significantly suppressed. Pretreatment with NAN-190 (3.5 mg/kg, i.v.) significantly enhanced the increase in TPS-induced 5-HT release in the presence of EAP. On the other hand, the increase of 5-HT release induced following TPS in the presence of EAP was inhibited by pretreatment with ketanserin (2.5 mg/kg, i.v.) and ICS 205-930 (1 mg/kg, i.v.). When NAN-190 was pre-treated in the animals combined TPS and EAP, the amount of SP release was significantly reduced compared with the absence of this drug. On the other hand, pretreatment with ketanserin and ICS 205-930 reversed the inhibitory effect of EAP on the TPS-generated SP release, especially ICS 205-930, which remarkably enhanced TPS-induced SP release compared with the absence of this drug. On the basis of the obtained results, we concluded that NAN-190 and ICS 205-930 act on EAP-induced analgesia positively and suppressively, respectively, by regulation of TPS-generated SP release through activation of their subtype receptors. On the other hand, ketanserin does not affect TPS-induced 5-HT release and SP release in the presence of EAP.

Recent studies have shown that tachykinins mediate slow synaptic transmission to myenteric AH (afterhyperpolarising) neurons via neurokinin-3 receptors (NK(3)R). This study investigated a similar role for neurokinin-1 receptors (NK(1)R) and compared the effect of selective receptor antagonists on non-cholinergic slow excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs) recorded in myenteric AH neurons of the guinea-pig ileum. Slow EPSPs evoked by electrical stimulation of circumferentially oriented presynaptic nerves were mimicked by application of senktide, an NK(3)R agonist. [Sar(9),Met(O(2))(11)]-substance P, an NK(1)R agonist, depolarised a smaller number of neurons. SR142801, a selective NK(3)R antagonist (100 nM), inhibited slow EPSPs and responses to senktide, but had no effect on depolarisations evoked by forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase. SR140333, a selective NK(1)R antagonist, inhibited slow EPSPs in a subset of neurons and blocked responses to [Sar(9),Met(O(2))(11)]-substance P, but not to senktide or forskolin. Slow EPSPs that were predominantly mediated by NK(1)R had significantly shorter latencies than those due to activation of NK(3)R. After blockade of slow EPSPs, slow hyperpolarizing responses to presynaptic nerve stimulation were revealed in one-third of neurons. These events, which were associated with a decrease in input resistance and blocked by tetrodotoxin, were equated with slow inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. They were abolished by the 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) receptor antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)butyl]-piperazine (NAN-190), but unaffected by phentolamine, an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist. In conclusion, these results provide the first direct evidence that NK(1)R mediate some slow excitatory synaptic input to myenteric AH neurons, and suggest that NK(1)R and NK(3)R activate distinct signal transduction pathways. These results also demonstrate that slow inhibitory synaptic transmission, which may be mediated by 5-hydroxytryptamine, is more prevalent in the myenteric plexus than previously indicated.
