Temporal regulation of agonist efficacy at 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A and 5-HT 1B receptors.
Coactivation of purinergic (P 2Y) receptors reduces agonist efficacy at serotonin 1B (5-HT 1B), but not 5-HT 1A receptors. Herein, we report that pretreatment for 5 min with the P 2Y receptor agonist ATP reduced agonist responsiveness at the 5-HT 1A, but not at the 5-HT 1B, receptor. The effect of ATP pretreatment on the 5-HT 1A receptor response rapidly reversed within a 10 min time frame betw...
متن کاملBlock of 5-HT2 Receptors Enhances Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation
The effect of endogenous serotonin on long-term potentiation (LTP) in region CAI was studied by blocking 5-HT2 receptors with ketanserin in rat hippocampal slices. Such a block significantly en-hanced long-term potentiation of the CAI population spike induced by high frequency stimulation of the schaffer collateral/ commissural pathway. This implies that serotonin acts on 5-HT2 receptors in CAI...

متن کاملCharacterization of the functional heterologous desensitization of hypothalamic 5-HT(1A) receptors after 5-HT(2A) receptor activation.
Desensitization of 5-HT(1A) receptors could be involved in the long-term therapeutic effect of anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs. Pretreatment of rats with the 5-HT(2A/2C) agonist DOI induces an attenuation of hypothalamic 5-HT(1A) receptor-G(z)-protein signaling, measured as the ACTH and oxytocin responses to an injection of the 5-HT(1A) agonist 8-OH-DPAT. We characterized this functional he...
متن کاملSingle-channel kinetic analysis for activation and desensitization of homomeric 5-HT(3)A receptors.
The 5-HT(3)A receptor is a member of the Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels. To perform kinetic analysis, we mutated the 5-HT3A subunit to obtain a high-conductance form so that single-channel currents can be detected. At all 5-HT concentrations (> 0.1 microM), channel activity appears as openings in quick succession that form bursts, which coalesce into clusters. By combining single-...
