A pharmacologic examination of receptors mediating serotonin-induced bronchoconstriction in the anesthetized guinea pig.
The receptors involved in the bronchoconstriction evoked in vivo by intravenous administration to the anesthetized guinea pig of serotonin and serotonin-related agonists have been examined in this study. Animals were pretreated with indomethacin and (+/-)-propranolol to inhibit cyclooxygenase and beta adrenergic receptors, respectively, and pulmonary parameters were obtained with a Buxco pulmonary mechanics computer. Dose-dependent increases in pulmonary resistance and decreases in dynamic lung compliance were produced by serotonin, 2-methyl-serotonin, 5-methoxy-tryptamine, alpha-methyl-serotonin, 5-carboxamidotryptamine, and m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP). Responses to all agonists except 2-methyl-serotonin, a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) agonist, were antagonized by the 5-HT2 antagonists, LY53857 and ketanserin. Zaclopride, 1 and 10 mg/kg, a selective 5-HT3 antagonist, blocked responses to 2-methyl-serotonin. A maximally effective dose of LY53857 (1 mg/kg) produced larger shifts of the dose-response curves to serotonin, 5-methoxytryptamine and alpha-methyl-serotonin than did a maximally effective dose of ketanserin (1 mg/kg). Thiorphan, 10 mg/kg, an inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase, potentiated 2-methyl-serotonin and, when studied in the presence of LY53857, also potentiated serotonin, 5-methoxytryptamine and TFMPP. After thiorphan and LY53857, responses to serotonin, but not 5-methoxytryptamine or TFMPP, were blocked by zaclopride. Capsaicin pretreatment of the animals resulted in rightward shifts of the dose-response curves to serotonin, 2-methyl-serotonin and TFMPP, but not to 5-methoxytryptamine or alpha-methyl-serotonin. Potentiation by thiorphan and antagonism by zaclopride of responses to serotonin were still evident after capsaicin pretreatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Topics: Anesthesia; Animals; Atropine; Benzamides; Bridged Bicyclo Compounds; Bridged Bicyclo Compounds, Heterocyclic; Bronchoconstriction; Capsaicin; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Ergolines; Guinea Pigs; Male; Piperazines; Pyrilamine; Receptors, Serotonin; Serotonin; Serotonin Antagonists; Thiorphan | 1991 |
5-Hydroxytryptamine3 receptors mediate tachycardia in conscious instrumented dogs.
Intravenously administered 5-HT and the 5-HT3 selective agonist, 2CH3-5-HT, and the 5-HT2 selective agonist, alpha-CH3-5-HT, transiently increased heart rate in conscious, instrumented dogs. 5-HT, alpha-CH3-5-HT and 2CH3-5-HT increased systolic blood pressure in conscious dogs. The increase in blood pressure produced by alpha-CH3-5-HT was blocked by the 5-HT2 selective antagonist, LY53857, supporting a role for vascular 5-HT2 receptors in the pressor response to these amines. In contrast, LY53857 did not antagonize tachycardia produced by 2CH3-5-HT. Furthermore, propranolol also did not block 2CH3-5-HT-induced tachycardia, indicating that an indirect neuronal effect to release norepinephrine cannot explain the increase in heart rate to 2CH3-5-HT. Tachycardia to 2CH3-5-HT (as well as to isoproterenol) was modestly inhibited, but never abolished by interruption of the autonomic nervous system with atropine or hexamethonium. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, zacopride, ICS 205-930 and GR38032F, dose-dependently blocked the tachycardia and pressor response to 2CH3-5-HT. These data establish the presence of a 5-HT3 receptor mediating a direct positive chronotropic effect of 5-HT in conscious dogs, an effect that depends, only minimally, on the presence of an intact autonomic nervous system.
