Abstract
L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID) are abnormal involuntary movements limiting the chronic use of L-DOPA, the main pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease. Serotonin receptors are implicated in the development of LID and modulation of basal ganglia 5-HT1B receptors is a potential therapeutic alternative in Parkinson's disease. In the present study, we used receptor-binding autoradiography of the 5-HT1B-selective radioligand [3H]GR125743 to investigate possible contributions of changes in ligand binding of this receptor in LID in post-mortem brain specimens from Parkinson's disease patients (n=14) and control subjects (n=11), and from 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned monkeys treated with saline (n=5), L-DOPA (n=4) or L-DOPA+2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) (n=5), and control monkeys (n=4). MPEP is the prototypal metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu5) receptor antagonist and has been shown to reduce the development of LID in these monkeys in a chronic treatment of one month. [3H]GR125743 specific binding to striatal and pallidal 5-HT1B receptors respectively were only increased in L-DOPA-treated MPTP monkeys (dyskinetic monkeys) as compared to controls, saline and L-DOPA+MPEP MPTP monkeys; dyskinesias scores correlated positively with this binding. Parkinson's disease patients with motor complications (L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias and wearing-off) had higher [3H]GR125743 specific binding compared to those without motor complications and controls in the basal ganglia. Reduction of motor complications was associated with normal striatal 5-HT1B receptors, suggesting the potential of this receptor for the management of motor complications in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Serotonin receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in a variety of psychiatric disorders. G-proteins, heterotrimeric complexes that couple to multiple receptors, are activated when their receptor is bound by the appropriate ligand. Activation triggers a cascade of further signalling events that ultimately result in cell function changes. Each of the several known G-protein types can activate multiple pathways. Interestingly, since several G-proteins can couple to the same serotonin receptor type, receptor activation can result in induction of different pathways. To reach a better understanding of the role, interactions and expression of G-proteins a literature search was performed in order to list all the known heterotrimeric combinations and serotonin receptor complexes. Public databases were analysed to collect transcript and protein expression data relating to G-proteins in neural tissues. Only a very small number of heterotrimeric combinations and G-protein-receptor complexes out of the possible thousands suggested by expression data analysis have been examined experimentally. In addition this has mostly been obtained using insect, hamster, rat and, to a lesser extent, human cell lines. Besides highlighting which interactions have not been explored, our findings suggest additional possible interactions that should be examined based on our expression data analysis.

Abstract
L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias (LID)s are abnormal involuntary movements limiting the chronic use of L-DOPA, the main pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Serotonin receptors are thought to contribute to LID but serotonin 1B (5-HT1B) receptors have never been investigated in any primate models of PD and LID. Therefore, we measured 5-HT1B receptors with [(3)H]GR 125743 autoradiography in controls, MPTP-lesioned monkeys, and L-DOPA-treated MPTP monkeys, with or without Ro 61-8048 treatment, a kynurenine hydroxylase inhibitor alleviating LID. In normal condition, 5-HT1B receptor specific binding was highest in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), high in the globus pallidus (GP), nucleus accumbens and substantia innominata and lower in the caudate nucleus and putamen. 5-HT1B receptors were increased in caudate nucleus, putamen and SNr of MPTP monkeys compared to controls. L-DOPA-treated MPTP monkeys had elevated 5-HT1B receptor specific binding in caudate nucleus, putamen, SNr and internal GP. In all these brain regions, increases were prevented by co-administration of Ro 61-8048. No effect of MPTP lesion or treatment was observed for 5-HT1B specific binding in the external GP, nucleus accumbens and substantia innominata. This study is the first description in primates of altered brain 5-HT1B receptors associated with prevention of LID.

Abstract
An understanding of the pathophysiology and pharmacology of migraine has been driven by astute clinical observations, elegant experimental medicine studies and importantly by the introduction of highly effective selective anti-migraine agents such as the Triptan 5-HT(1B/1D) agonists. New investigational migraine therapies such CGRP antagonists target key components of the trigeminal sensory neuroinflammatory response and show promise for the future. Cutting edge molecular profiling studies looking at gene expression during chronic pain are now being used to reveal the cell biology of pain and new potential therapeutic targets. Translational neuroimaging research can link the laboratory and the clinic and is now being used to help understand the neural systems biology of migraine. Research into migraine has generated sophisticated hypotheses that encompass primary CNS dysfunction, trigeminovascular activation, pain perception and activation of associated neural circuits involved in affective functions providing a rich framework within which to design and test future migraine treatment strategies.

J Neuroimmunol 2006; 178:24-9. [PMID: 16814400 DOI: 10.1016/j.jneuroim.2006.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2006] [Revised: 05/16/2006] [Accepted: 05/22/2006] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
To find out whether rhesus macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) express mRNA for 5-HT receptors, blood samples from normal healthy rhesus monkeys were used to isolate PBMCs by Ficoll-paque density gradient centrifugation. Total RNA was extracted from MT-2 cells, Hut-78 cells, naive or phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulated human and monkey PBMCs. One tube RT-PCR was performed using primers specific for human 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1E, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors. Amplicons of expected sizes were obtained from human cell lines as well as both human and monkey PBMCs. Both PHA stimulated human and monkey PBMCs express mRNAs for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1E, 5-HT2A, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT6 receptor types/subtypes. However, mRNAs for 5-HT1B, 5-HT1E and 5-HT2A cannot be confidently detected in some of the PBMC samples without PHA stimulation. 5-HT2B and 5-HT7 receptor mRNA was not detected in most of the samples and 5-HT2C receptor mNRA was not detected at all. FACS analysis revealed that CD3+ lymphocyte increased more than 20% among lymphocytes in the PHA stimulated PBMCs. These data indicate that similar to human PBMC, rhesus macaque PBMC may express multiple types of 5-HT receptors and the expression profile could change after PHA stimulation due to either the changes in cell composition or changes in gene transcription level. This provided a basis for further studies on the neuroimmunomodulatory interactions of 5-HT in rhesus macaques.

Abstract
[(3)H]LY334370 was developed as a radioligand to study the characteristics of this compound's interaction with the 5-HT(1F) receptor. Monovalent or divalent cations did not enhance the binding of [(3)H]LY334370 to the cloned human 5-HT(1F) receptor. In the presence of MgCl(2), the time to reach equilibrium was approximately 2 h, while in its absence equilibrium was reached in less than 1 h. [(3)H]LY334370 had high affinity for the cloned human 5-HT(1F) receptor (K(d)=0.446 nM) and the 5-HT(1F) receptor in rat brain (K(d)=0.388 nM). The expression density of 5-HT(1F) receptors, as determined by binding to homogenates of cortical regions from rat, was low (B(max)=79.1 fmol/mg protein). There was a statistically significant correlation between the apparent pK(i) for inhibition of [(3)H]LY334370 binding and the pEC(50) for stimulation of [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding to homogenates of cells expressing the cloned human 5-HT(1F) receptor. In addition, there was a statistically significant correlation between the apparent pK(i) for inhibition of [(3)H]LY334370 binding to the cloned human 5-HT(1F) receptor and the pID(50) for inhibition of trigeminal nerve stimulated dural plasma protein extravasation in the guinea pig. The conclusion from these studies is that [(3)H]LY334370 is a high affinity radioligand which can be used for the study of the 5-HT(1F) receptor in rat brain or in cells transformed with the human 5-HT(1F) receptor.

Abstract
The involvement of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) in immunoregulation has been well documented. Gut mucosa is a large reservoir of 5-HT most of which is attributed to gut endocrine cells. In this study, we examined the anatomical relationship among 5-HT immunoreactive cells and T and B lymphocytes in the gut mucosa of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). 5-HT, CD3 and CD20 immunoreactive cells were immunofluorescently labeled and visualized by confocal microscopy. 5-HT immunoreactive cells were primarily found within the epithelium of the intestine and were present at all levels of the gastrointestinal tract. Many 5-HT immunoreactive cells were in contact with, or very close proximity to CD3(+) and CD20(+) lymphocytes. These results provide morphological evidence to suggest interactions between 5-HT secreting enteroendocrine cells and lymphocytes in the gut mucosa. This further supports a possible role of 5-HT in mucosal immune responses.

Abstract
The present review summarizes the behavioral pharmacology conducted to profile the anxiolytic and antidepressant potential of the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT)(1B) antagonist (R)-N-[5-methyl-8-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl]-4-morpholinobenzamide (AR-A000002). AR-A000002 functions as a 5-HT(1B) antagonist in vivo, which was shown by the antagonism of the discriminative stimulus effects in the guinea pig of the 5-HT(1B) agonist 3-(N-methylpyrrolidin-2R-ylmethyl)-5-(3-nitropyrid-2-ylamino)-lH-indole (CP135,807). Anxiolytic activity of AR-A000002 was demonstrated in the separation-induced vocalization paradigm in guinea pig pups, and in a suppressed responding procedure in pigeons and guinea pigs, but only a weak trend was noted in a suppressed responding procedure in squirrel monkeys. Antidepressant efficacy was shown in a number of paradigms. In pigeons and guinea pigs responding under a differential reinforcement of low rates schedule of reinforcement (DRL), AR-A000002 increased the number of reinforcers earned without altering the number of responses made. In guinea pigs trained under a response duration differentiation paradigm, AR-A000002 increased mean lever-press duration. Finally, AR-A000002 was shown to block escape failures in guinea pigs submitted to a learned helplessness paradigm. Taken together, these data suggest utility for 5-HT(1B) antagonists in the treatment of both anxiety and affective disorders.

Br J Pharmacol 2003; 138:427-34.

Abstract
1 The human 5-HT(2C) receptor, when expressed heterologously in various mammalian cell lines (HEK293, SH-EP and NIH-3T3) at various receptor densities (6 to 45 pmol mg(-1) protein), mediates robust agonist-induced GTPgamma(35)S binding from coupling to G(i) subtypes of G proteins, in addition to G(q/11). Such a phenotype, however, was not seen with the human 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B) receptors, indicating their common pathway with 5-HT(2C) limited to G(q/11), not including G(i). 2 Because intracellular regions are largely responsible for signalling pathways, we prepared the chimeras of the 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B) receptors where the second and third intracellular loops, and the C-terminal region were replaced with the 5-HT(2C) counterparts. 3 The chimeras showed robust agonist-induced GTPgamma(35)S binding. Relative intrinsic efficacies of agonists from the GTPgamma(35)S binding were nearly identical to the reported values for their parent receptors as measured with Ca(2+) or [(3)H]-inositol phosphate accumulation. Also the chimeras displayed the same ligand-binding properties as the parent receptors. 4 We conclude that the phenotype of agonist-induced GTPgamma(35)S binding is unique to 5-HT(2C) among the 5-HT(2) receptor family, and is transferable to 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2B), upon swapping intracellular sequences, without altering their receptor pharmacology.
