The role of 5-hydroxytryptamine1A and 5-hydroxytryptamine1B receptors in modulating spinal nociceptive transmission in normal and carrageenan-injected rats.
Single unit extracellular recordings from the dorsal horn neurons were obtained with glass micropipettes in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. A total of 115 wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons were studied in 94 rats. In normal rats, the size of nociceptive receptive fields (RFs) of WDR neurons was approximately 123.3 +/- 8.21 mm2 (n = 88). Following carrageenan-induced inflammation, the RFs were markedly enlarged (332.4 +/- 30.1 mm2, n = 27, P < 0.001). The frequency of background activity of the WDR neurons in carrageenan-injected rats (11.3 +/- 2.1 imp/s, n = 27) was greater than that in normal rats (7.1 +/- 0.8 imp/s, n = 88, P < 0.05). In 82% of WDR neurons in normal rats, there was a separation between the A- and C-responses. In contrast, in 67% of the neurons in carrageenan-injected rats, the response to suprathreshold electrical stimuli was a long train with no separation between the A- and C-responses. In carrageenan-injected rats, the magnitude and duration of the nociceptive responses were significantly increased compared to those in normal rats, and the average C-response threshold (7.7 +/- 1.1 mA, n = 27) was lower than that in normal rats (10.4 +/- 0.7 mA, n = 88, P < 0.05). Intrathecal injection of the 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT1A) receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-DPAT hydroxybromide (8-OH-DPAT) (0.305, 1.525, 3.05, and 15.25 mM) dose-dependently increased Adelta- and C-responses and post-discharge in most of the WDR neurons. Following carrageenan-induced inflammation, the 8-OH-DPAT-induced facilitatory effect on Adelta- and C-responses and post-discharge was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). Intrathecal injection of the 5-hydroxytryptamine1B (5-HT1) receptor agonist CGS12066A (0.222, 1.11, 2.22, and 11.1 mM) dose-dependently enhanced the C-response and post-discharge without influencing the Adelta-response. In carrageenan-injected rats, CGS12066A not only enhanced the facilitatory effect on the C-response and post-discharge, but also facilitated the Adelta-response. Intrathecal injection of the 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist NAN-190 (0.2 mM) alone did not influence Adelta- and C-responses and post-discharge of WDR neurons in normal rats. When 0.2 mM NAN-190 was co-administered with 3.05 mM 8-OH-DPAT, the facilitatory effect of 8-OH-DPAT on Adelta- and C-responses and post-discharge was completely antagonized, whereas CGS12066A-induced facilitation on the C-response and post-discharge was not influenced by co-administration of 0.2 mM NAN-190 and CG Topics: 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin; Animals; Carrageenan; Electric Stimulation; Electrophysiology; Female; Male; Neurons, Afferent; Nociceptors; Pain; Piperazines; Quinoxalines; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptor, Serotonin, 5-HT1B; Receptors, Serotonin; Receptors, Serotonin, 5-HT1; Serotonin Antagonists; Serotonin Receptor Agonists; Spinal Cord; Synaptic Transmission | 2001 |
Antinociception induced by opioid or 5-HT agonists microinjected into the anterior pretectal nucleus of the rat.
The changes in the latency for tail withdrawal in response to noxious heating of the skin induced by microinjection of opioid or serotonergic agonists into the anterior pretectal nucleus (APtN) was studied in rats. The mu-opioid agonist DAMGO (78 and 156 picomol), but not the delta-opioid agonist DADLE (70 and 140 pmol), the kappa-opioid agonist bremazocine (0.24 and 0.48 nanomol) or the sigma-opioid agonist N-allylnormetazocine (0.54 nanomol), produced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect. The 5-HT1 agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (19 and 38 nanomol) and the 5-HT1B agonist, CGS 12066B (1.12 and 2.24 nanomol), but not the non-selective 5-HT agonist m-CPP (41 to 164 nanomol), 5-HT2 agonist alpha-methylserotonin (36 and 72 nanomol) and 5-HT3 agonist 2-methylserotonin (36 and 72 nanomol), produced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect. These results indicate that the antinociceptive effects of opioid or serotonergic agonists microinjected into the APtN depend on drug interaction with local mu or 5-HT1B receptors, respectively.

Spinal supersensitivity to 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptor agonists following 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine.
The present study examined functional supersensitivity to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-HT ligands selective for 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors in two tests for nociception following the spinal administration of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT). Intrathecal pretreatment with 5,7-DHT 30-100 micrograms (following desipramine) produced a selective depletion of spinal cord 5-HT levels of > 80% and augmented the antinociceptive action of 5-HT in the tail flick and hot plate tests. The tail flick test was the more sensitive test for expression of this action. Supersensitivity was observed with the 5-HT1 receptor ligands CGS 12066B (7-trifluoromethyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl-pyrrolo[1,2-a] quinoxalinedimaleate), RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3-(1,2,4,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)1H indole succinate), TFMPP (m-trifluoromethylphenyl-piperazine HCl), mCPP (1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride) and 5-Me-ODMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine hydrogen oxalate) but not with the 5-HT2 receptor ligand DOI ((+/-)-1-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane HCl) or the 5-HT3 receptor ligand 2-Me-5-HT (2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine maleate) in the tail flick test. In the hot plate test, supersensitivity was observed only with 5-Me-ODMT. Intrathecal pretreatment with fluoxetine, a 5-HT uptake inhibitor, potentiated the action of 5-HT but not any of the other 5-HT1 receptor ligands examined. These results indicate that supersensitivity occurs with 5-HT and 5-HT1 receptor ligands but not with 5-HT2 or 5-HT3 receptor ligands. Both the loss of uptake sites and receptor upregulation may contribute to enhanced activity of 5-HT, but for other ligands, only the latter mechanism appears to occur.

Serotonin is a directly-acting hyperalgesic agent in the rat.
In this study, we have investigated serotonin hyperalgesia employing the mechanical paw withdrawal nociceptive threshold test in the rat. Intradermally injected serotonin was found to produce a dose-dependent hyperalgesia that was not attenuated by procedures which eliminate the known indirect mechanisms of hyperalgesia such as sympathectomy, polymorphonuclear leukocyte depletion or cyclooxygenase inhibition. In addition, the latency to onset of serotonin hyperalgesia is extremely short, with maximal hyperalgesia observed in less than 1 min, a similar temporal onset to direct-acting hyperalgesic agents such as prostaglandin E2. The results suggest, therefore, that the hyperalgesic effects of serotonin in our animal model are exerted by direct action on primary afferent neurons. Only the intradermal injection of selective serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) agonists for the 1A receptor subset (5-HT1A), (+/-)-2-dipropylamino-8-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthaline hydrobromide and N,N-dipropyl-5-carboxamido-tryptamine maleate, produced dose-dependent hyperalgesia. No hyperalgesia was seen after 5-HT1B, CGS-12066B maleate and m-trifluoromethylphenyl-piperazine hydrochloride; 5-HT2+IC, alpha methyl 5HT and (+/-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane HCl; or 5-HT3, 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine maleate and phenylbiguanide, agonists. Similarly, only the 5-HT1A antagonists, spiroxatrine and spiperone, attenuated the hyperalgesia induced by intradermally injected serotonin. 5-HT2+IC antagonists, mesulergine and ketanserin, and 5-HT3 antagonists, quipazine and 3-tropanyl-indole-3-carboxylate, did not significantly attenuate 5-HT hyperalgesia. We conclude that serotonin produces hyperalgesia by a direct action on the primary afferent neuron via the 5-HT1A subset of serotonin receptors.
