3H-5-HT (serotonin) binding and its displacement by various specific subtype ligands and effects on the phosphoinositides (PI) turnover were studied in cultured C6 glioma and N2 neuroblastoma cells from rodents. Saturation analysis of 3H-5-HT binding to C6 cells revealed that its Kd and Bmax were 3.0 nM and 18.0 pmole/mg protein respectively. DOI.HCl (5-HT2 agonist) and ketanserin (5-HT2 antagonist) had the highest affinities in the drug-displacement of 3H-5-HT binding to C6 cells studied. The IC50 values for DOI-HCl and ketanserin were 7.5 x 10(-7) and 3.5 x 10(-8) M respectively. 5-HT also induced 3H-PI breakdown and generated 3H-IP. The EC50 values for 5-HT for this event were in the dose range between 0.5 to 1.5 microM, and this 5-HT-induced response could be blocked by 5-HT2 antagonist ketanserin more effectively than the 5-HT1 antagonist or 5-HT3 antagonist studied. 3H-5-HT binding to N2 cells revealed that its Kd and Bmax were 4.0 nM and 80 pmole/mg protein respectively in the saturation analysis study. The drug-displacement of this binding revealed that MDL 72222 (5-HT3 antagonist) had a higher affinity than ketanserin. The IC50 values for MDL 72222 and ketanserin were 10 nM and 10 microM respectively, when 3 nM of 3H-5-HT was used. Our results indicate that the predominant receptor subtype of 5-HT in C6 and N2 cells are 5-HT2, and 5-HT3 respectively, and that the PI turnover is linked to 5-HT2, but not 5-HT3 receptor activation.

The action of a novel 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, AS-5370, has been studied on two electrophysiological models for 5-HT3 receptors: whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from mouse neuroblastoma-rat glioma (NG108-15) cells and grease-gap recordings from rat isolated vagus nerve. The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced fast inward current of voltage-clamped NG108-15 cells was antagonized by 1 nM AS-5370 in an insurmountable manner. On the rat vagus, AS-5370 reduced the maximum depolarizing response to 5-HT in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 for AS-5370 on the rat vagus was 0.3-1.0 nM. The EC50 for 5-HT on the rat vagus was not appreciably affected by AS-5370. On the rat vagus, the (R) enantiomer of AS-5370 was about 30 times more potent than the (S) enantiomer. The antagonist action of AS-5370 on these two cell types was compared with that of (+)-tubocurarine. Unlike tubocurarine, the effect of AS-5370 on NG108-15 cells was not readily reversed during wash. On the rat vagus, tubocurarine antagonized in a competitive manner with an IC50 of 0.3-1.0 microM (pKb = 7.2). It is concluded that AS-5370 is a potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonist on both NG108-15 cells and the rat vagus, but it does not act in a competitive manner.

5-Hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor-type binding sites were solubilised from NG108-15 mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid cells using five different detergents [n-octyl-beta-D-glucoside, Triton X-100, 3-[3-(cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonate (CHAPS), sodium cholate, and deoxycholate] and the solubilisation efficiencies compared. The equilibrium binding, kinetic properties, and pharmacological profile of solubilised binding sites were similar to those of 5-HT3 receptor-type binding sites (5-HT3R) in membrane preparations determined using [3H]GR65630. The solubilised binding sites were purified using an affinity column constructed by coupling the high-affinity antagonist GR119566X to an Affi-Gel 15 resin. The affinity of purified 5-HT3R for [3H]-GR65630 was reduced threefold compared to the crude soluble preparation, but the pharmacological profile was similar. The sedimentation coefficient of the purified protein (11S, detergent: CHAPS) was determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The apparent molecular mass of the detergent/binding site complex (370 kDa) was determined by size exclusion chromatography in the presence of n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside. Gel electrophoresis of the purified protein revealed bands at apparent molecular masses of 36, 40, 50, and 76 kDa. Electron microscopy of the negatively stained purified protein showed the presence of round particles of 8-9 nm diameter with a 2-nm stained pit in the centre, closely resembling the doughnut shapes described for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

The effect of the novel agonist, 1-(m-chlorophenyl)-biguanide (mCPBG) was examined on 5-HT3 receptors in NG108-15 mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid cells, using whole-cell voltage-clamp and radioligand binding on intact cells. Electrophysiological studies showed that mCPBG is a partial agonist, with an EC50 of 3.1 microM. Displacement of the selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist [3H]GR65630 by mCPBG revealed a Ki of 14.2 nM. The study suggests that mCPBG may have a high affinity for desensitized 5-HT3 receptors and also revealed some differences between 5-HT3 receptors in NG108-15 and N1E-115 cells.

On account of the postulated existence of 5-HT3 receptor subtypes, the respective physico-chemical and pharmacological properties of specific binding sites for the potent 5-HT3 antagonist [3H]zacopride were compared using membranes from the rat posterior cortex or neuroblastoma-glioma NG 108-15 clonal cells. In both membrane preparations, [3H]zacopride bound to a single class of specific sites with a Kd close to 0.5 nM. However, the Bmax value in NG 108-15 cell membranes (970 +/- 194 fmol/mg protein) was approximately 50 times larger than that in cortical membranes (19 +/- 2 fmol/mg protein). The specific binding of [3H]zacopride was equally affected by temperature, pH and molarity of the assay medium, and equally insensitive to thiol- and disulfide-reagents (N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid, dithiothreitol) and GTP in cortical as well as NG 108-15 cell membranes. Determination of the molecular size of [3H]zacopride specific binding sites by radiation inactivation yielded values close to 35 kDa for both membrane preparations. Finally, a highly significant positive correlation (r = 0.979) was found between the respective pKi values of 34 different drugs for their inhibition of [3H]zacopride specific binding to cortical or NG 108-15 cell membranes. Among them, the most potent was S(-)zacopride (pKi = 9.55), followed by BRL 43964, ICS 205-930, quipazine, R(+)zacopride, GR 38032F and MDL 72222. Atypical antidepressants (mianserin, amoxapine) and neuroleptics (clotiapine, loxapine and clozapine) were active in rather low concentrations (pKi less than 6.5), suggesting that recognition of 5-HT3 sites might be relevant to part of the in vivo effects of these drugs. Such identical physico-chemical and pharmacological properties of [3H]zacopride specific binding in cortical and NG 108-15 cell membranes strongly suggest that the same 5-HT3 receptor (subtype?) exists in these two preparations.

1. The binding characteristics of [3H]ICS 205-930, a potent and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, were investigated in membranes prepared from murine neuroblastoma-glioma NG 108-15 cells. 2. [3H]ICS 205-930 bound rapidly, reversibly and stereoselectively to a homogeneous population of high affinity recognition sites: Bmax = 58 +/- 3 fmol/mg protein, pKD = 9.01 +/- 0.08 (n = 11). Non linear regression and Scatchard analysis of saturation data suggested the existence of a single class of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites on NG 108-15 cells. The binding was rapid, stable and reversible. The affinity of [3H]ICS 205-930 determined in kinetic studies was in agreement with that obtained under equilibrium conditions. 3. Competition studies performed with a variety of agonists and antagonists also suggested the presence of a homogeneous population of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites. All competition curves were steep and monophasic and were best fit by a 1 receptor site model. [3H]ICS 205-930 binding sites displayed the pharmacological profile of a 5-HT3 receptor. Potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonists showed nanomolar affinities for [3H]ICS 205-930 binding sites with the following rank order of potency: SDZ 206-830 greater than ICS 205-930 greater than SDZ 206-792 greater than BRL 43694 greater than quipazine greater than BRL 24924 greater than SDZ 210-204 greater than MDL 72222 greater than SDZ 210-205. Metoclopramide, mCP and mianserin showed submicromolar affinity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma cells are widely used for the study of neurotransmitter receptors. We utilized reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to amplify members of the seven transmembrane domain class of G-protein linked receptors using RNA isolated from NG108-15 cells. Two complementary DNAs representing receptors were obtained; based upon comparison with the sequence database, they probably represent the murine dopamine D1A receptor and a receptor closely related to the serotonin 5HT1D receptor subtype. The finding of the 5HT receptor subtype is of interest, as only the 5HT3 subtype was previously identified in NG108-15 cells by pharmacological means. Certain responses of NG108-15 cells to serotonin have been described that do not appear to be mediated by known 5HT receptor subtypes. The cDNA we cloned may therefore represent an additional 5HT1D subclass.

The anti-hypertensive drug ifenprodil is known to interact potently with the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor as well as a number of other second messenger-linked receptors. In addition to these properties, ifenprodil has been shown to prevent glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity via non-competitive antagonism of NMDA receptors [Legendre and Westbrook (1991) Molec. Pharmac. 40: 289-298; Shalaby et al. (1992) J. Pharmac. Exp. Ther. 260: 925-932]. With these things in mind, we have begun to examine the specificity of ifenprodil for various ligand-gated ion channels using electrophysiological methods. While ifenprodil effectively inhibits NMDA-mediated currents in cortical neurons in culture, it does not interact with either kainate or GABA receptors. Surprisingly, ifenprodil also acts as a relatively potent antagonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor in the NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma cell line. Furthermore, several aspects of ifenprodil action on the 5-HT3 receptor resemble its interaction with the NMDA receptor. Namely, inhibition of 5-HT3-mediated cation currents is readily reversible, has relatively slow onset, is non-competitive, and is not voltage dependent. Since most of the known 5-HT3 antagonists are competitive, it is possible that ifenprodil may define a unique modulatory site(s) on this neurotransmitter receptor.

In the presence of substance P (SP; 10 microM), serotonin (5-HT; 1 microM) triggered a cation permeability in cells of the hybridoma (mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma) clone NG 108-15 that could be assessed by measuring the cell capacity to accumulate [14C]guanidinium for 10-15 min at 37 degrees C. In addition to 5-HT (EC50 0.33 microM), the potent 5-HT3 receptor agonists 2-methyl-serotonin, phenylbiguanide, and m-chlorophenylbiguanide, and quipazine, markedly increased [14C]guanidinium uptake in NG 108-15 cells exposed to 10 microM SP. In contrast, 5-HT3 receptor antagonists prevented the effect of 5-HT. The correlation (r = 0.97) between the potencies of 16 different ligands to mimic or prevent the effects of 5-HT on [14C]guanidinium uptake, on the one hand, and to displace [3H]zacopride specifically bound to 5-HT3 receptors on NG 108-15 cells, on the other hand, clearly demonstrated that [14C]guanidinium uptake was directly controlled by 5-HT3 receptors. Various compounds such as inorganic cations (La3+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+), D-tubocurarine, and memantine inhibited [14C]guanidinium uptake in NG 108-15 cells exposed to 5-HT and SP, as expected from their noncompetitive antagonistic properties at 5-HT3 receptors. However, ethanol (100 nM), which has been reported to potentiate the electrophysiological response to 5-HT3 receptor stimulation, prevented the effects of 5-HT plus SP on [14C]guanidinium uptake. The cooperative effect of SP on this 5-HT3-evoked response resulted neither from an interaction of the peptide with the 5-HT3 receptor binding site nor from a possible direct activation of G proteins in NG 108-15 cells. Among SP derivatives, [D-Pro9]SP, a compound inactive at the various neurokinin receptor classes, was the most potent to mimic the stimulatory effect of SP on [14C]guanidinium uptake in NG 108-15 cells exposed to 5-HT. Although the cellular mechanisms involved deserve further investigations, the 5-HT-evoked [14C]guanidinium uptake appears to be a rapid and reliable response for assessing the functional state of 5-HT3 receptors in NG 108-15 cells.

We have determined the ultrastructure of 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) serotonin receptors purified from NG108-15 mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma cells by electron microscopic examination of receptor particles embedded in uranyl acetate stain and metal replicas of rapidly frozen receptors. The 5-HT3 receptor can be modelled as a cylinder 11 nm in length and 8 nm in diameter with a closed end and a central cavity 3 nm in diameter. Analysis of the rotational symmetry of single receptor particles indicates that the 5-HT3 receptor is composed of five subunits arranged symmetrically around a central cavity. Together with evidence obtained for related proteins in other studies using ultrastructural, biochemical, or electrophysiological methods, our observations suggest that all members of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily may possess a pentameric quaternary structure.
