1. Effects of three different categories of antidepressants, imipramine (tricyclic), fluoxetine (selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitor), phenelzine and iproniazid (monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor) on the inward current mediated by 5-HT3 receptors were investigated in rat nodose ganglion neurones. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used for recording the 5-HT current. 2. All the antidepressants tested inhibited the peak 5-HT current. The inhibition gradually reached a steady level and the recovery was incomplete when antidepressants were removed. IC50 values for imipramine, fluoxetine and phenelzine were 0.54 microM, 1.3 microM and 4.2 microM respectively. The correspondent Hill coefficients were 0.9, 0.87 and 0.92. 3. The antidepressants examined increased the rate of 5-HT current desensitization. IC50 values for imipramine, fluoxetine and phenelzine on the decrease in desensitization time constant were 0.11 microM, 0.18 microM and 2.4 microM respectively. The correspondent Hill coefficients were 0.9, 1.14 and 1.06. 4. Intracellular applications of the protein kinase inhibitor, H-7 (100 microM), GDP-beta-S (2 mM) and the calcium chelator BAPTA (20 mM) did not affect the 5-HT current and the actions of antidepressants on 5-HT current. 5. These results suggest that the 5-HT3 receptor is an acting site for the therapeutic use of antidepressants. The present observation is also helpful in explaining the analgesic effect of antidepressants seen in pain clinics.

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on an inward current activated by extracellular ATP were investigated in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Under whole-cell voltage-clamp conditions 5-HT (10 microM) reversibly enhanced the amplitude of the current activated by 30 microM ATP. The enhancement may not be due to an increase in the number of functional channels because the current activated by 300 microM ATP was not remarkably augmented compared with the current activated by 30 microM ATP. The current enhancement by 100 microM 5-HT was less obvious than that by 10 microM 5-HT. When the current kinetics were compared, activation of the ATP-evoked current was accelerated to the same extent by either 10 or 100 microM 5-HT, whereas deactivation was largely more accelerated by 100 microM 5-HT. Propranolol (10 microM), a 5-HT1 receptor antagonist, or LY53857 (10 microM), a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, exerted an agonistic effect: the ATP-activated current was facilitated by these compounds. Metoclopramide (10 microM), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, neither facilitated the ATP-activated current, nor blocked the current facilitation by 5-HT. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP[beta S]) (2 mM), the non-hydrolysable analog of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP), or K-252a (2 microM), a protein kinase inhibitor, did not affect the facilitation by 5-HT of the ATP-activated current when they were included in the intracellular solution. The ATP-activated current pre-facilitated by 10 microM dopamine was not enhanced by 10 microM 5-HT. Similarly, the pre-facilitation by 5-HT attenuated the current enhancement by dopamine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. Effects of cannabinoid agonists on the serotonin (5-HT)3 receptor-mediated current were investigated in rat nodose ganglion neurons. Anandamide, Win 55212-2, and CP55940 inhibited the 5-HT-induced current in a concentration dependent manner. IC50 values were 190, 310, and 94 nM for anandamide, Win 55212-2, and CP55940, respectively, and 1.6 microM for the nonpsychoactive enantiomer CP56667. This inhibition was slowly developing, noncompetitive, not dependent on membrane potential, and not affected by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) analogues, guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP-beta-S), and opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone. These data suggest that 5-HT3 receptor ion-channel is a site acted upon by cannabinoid agonists in the nervous system, and the action of cannabinoid agonists on 5-HT3 receptors may be a possible mechanism for some of the behavioral effects of cannabinoids, such as antiemesis and analgesia.

1. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) activated a fast (70 ms to half maximum) and desensitizing inward current through non-selective channels conducting predominantly monovalent cations in neurons of Helix aspersa. 2. alpha-Methyl-5-HT was equipotent with 5-HT in activating this current, but the known selective agonists at vertebrate 5-HT3 receptors, 2-methyl-5-HT and arylbiguanides were ineffective (< 100 microM). 5-Methoxytryptamine which is inactive on vertebrate 5-HT3 receptors was a very weak agonist. 3. The responses were antagonized by the specific vertebrate 5-HT3 receptor blocker MDL-72222 (IC50 = 1 microM), but were only weakly affected by ondansetron (10 microM). The 5-HT2-type antagonist, ketanserin (< 5 microM) had no effect. The responses were also antagonized by the non-specific antagonists (+)-tubocurarine and strychnine. 4. Unitary currents through channels non-selective for monovalent cations, and with a conductance of 2pS, could be activated repeatedly by 5-HT or alpha-methyl-5-HT in outside-out patches from neurones exhibiting the fast 5-HT-activated current (I[5-HT]fast), even in the presence of 500 microM GDP-[beta S] in the recording pipette. This strongly supports direct-gating of these channels by 5-HT. The properties of these unitary currents resembled those of I[5-HT]fast. 5. The pharmacological properties of this molluscan 5-HT-operated, ligand-gated channel differed sufficiently from known vertebrate 5-HT3-type receptors to suggest that it represents a new class of 5-HT receptor.

The present study aimed to investigate the interaction between the coexistent SP receptor and 5-HT3 receptor in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons using whole-cell patch clamp technique. The majority of the neurons examined responded to 5-HT with an inward current (I5-HT) (78.2%, 79/101) that could be blocked by 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ICS-205,930. The I5-HT was potentiated by preapplication of SP (10(-10) to 10(-8) M) in most 5-HT-sensitive cells(78.5%, 62/79). Coapplication of SP and GR-82334, antagonist of NK1 receptor, had no enhancing effect on I5-HT. The concentration-response curves for 5-HT with and without SP preapplication show that: (1) the threshold 5-HT concentrations with and without SP preapplication are basically the same, while SP preapplication increased the maximal value of I5-HT by 38.0% of its control; (2) the EC50 values of the curves with and without SP pretreatment are very close, i.e. 1.89 x 10(-5) M and 2.08 x 10(-5) M (P > 0.1; n = 9), respectively. Intracellular dialysis of GDP-beta-S, a non-hydrolyzable GDP analog, and GF-109203X, a selective protein kinase C inhibitor, removed the SP potentiation of I5-HT. These results may offer a clue to understanding the mechanism underlying the generation and/or regulation of peripheral pain caused by tissue damage inflammation, etc.

Using whole-cell patch-clamp methods, we examined the hypothesis that serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] receptor activation enhances TRPV1 function in mouse colon sensory neurons in lumbosacral dorsal root ganglia, which were identified by retrograde labeling with DiI (1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3-tetramethlindocarbocyanine methanesulfonate) injected into multiple sites in the wall of the descending colon. 5-HT increased membrane excitability at a temperature below body temperature in response to thermal ramp stimuli in colon sensory neurons from wild-type mice, but not from TRPV1 knock-out mice. 5-HT significantly enhanced capsaicin-, heat-, and proton-evoked currents with an EC50 value of 2.2 microm. 5-HT (1 microm) significantly increased capsaicin-evoked (100 nm) and proton-evoked (pH 5.5) currents 1.6- and 4.7-fold, respectively, and significantly decreased the threshold temperature for heat current activation from 42 to 38 degrees C. The enhancement of TRPV1 by 5-HT was significantly attenuated by selective 5-HT2 and 5-HT4 receptor antagonists, but not by a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. In support, 5-HT2 and 5-HT4 receptor agonists mimicked the facilitating effects of 5-HT on TRPV1 function. Downstream signaling required G-protein activation and phosphorylation as intracellularly administered GDP-beta-S [guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate], protein kinase A inhibitors, and an A-kinase anchoring protein inhibitor significantly blocked serotonergic facilitation of TRPV1 function; 5-HT2 receptor-mediated facilitation was also inhibited by a PKC inhibitor. We conclude that the facilitation of TRPV1 by metabotropic 5-HT receptor activation may contribute to hypersensitivity of primary afferent neurons in irritable bowel syndrome patients.

5-HT receptor subtypes are widely expressed in primary sensory neurons, yet so far little is known about the interaction among them. This study aimed to investigate whether the activation of 5-HT2 and 5-HT1 receptors could modulate 5-HT3 receptor mediated current in rat trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons using whole-cell patch clamp technique. The majority of TG neurons examined responded to 5-HT (10(-7)-10(-3) M) with a fast activating and rapid desensitizing inward current (77.2%, 71/92). This 5-HT activated current (I(5-HT)) was blocked by ICS 205-930 and mimicked by 2-methyl-5-HT, indicating that it was mediated by 5-HT3 receptor. With alpha-methyl-5-HT applied prior to 5-HT application, I(5-HT) was potentiated in a concentration-dependent manner, with the maximal modulatory effect at 10(-9) M of alpha-methyl-5-HT. The concentration-response curve for I(5-HT) pretreated with alpha-methyl-5-HT shifts upwards compared with that for I(5-HT) without alpha-methyl-5-HT pretreatment, the maximal I(5-HT) value having increased by (60.3 +/- 5.7)% of its control while the EC50 values of the two curves being very close, i.e. (2.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(-5) M vs (1.7 +/- 0.2) x 10(-5) M, respectively. The alpha-methyl-5-HT potentiation of I(5-HT) was removed by intracellular dialysis of either GDP-beta-S, a non-hydrolyzable GDP analog, or GF109203X, a selective PKC inhibitor, almost completely. Preapplication of R-(+)-UH-301, a selective agonist of 5-HT(1A) receptor, had no modulatory effect on I(5-HT). These results suggest that in the membrane of TG neurons, the activation of 5-HT2 receptors can exert an enhancing effect on the function of coexistent 5-HT3 receptors while that of 5-HT(1A) receptors cannot.

The modulation by substance P of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)- and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-activated currents (I(GABA) and I(5-HT)) was studied by using patch-clamp technique in rat trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. The majority of neurons examined responded to GABA and 5-HT with inward currents in the same cells (63.8%, 30/47). In 22 out of 30 neurons sensitive to both GABA and 5-HT, pretreatment with substance P (SP, 0.01 micromol/L) suppressed I(GABA) by (35.7 +/-6.1)% and enhanced I(5-HT) by (65.2 +/- 8.7)%. GR 82334, a potent and specific antagonist of NK1 tachykinin receptor, reversibly blocked the modulatory effects of SP. The SP modulation on I(GABA) and I(5-HT) was also abolished by intracellular dialysis of GDP-beta-S, a non-hydrolyzable GDP analog, or GF 109203X, a selective protein kinase C inhibitor. These results suggest that SP exerts opposite modulatory actions on GABA(A) receptor and 5-HT3 receptor activity of the same primary sensory neuron via the same intracellular signal transduction pathway.
