Abstract
The enteric nervous system (ENS) comprises a complex network of neurons whereby a subset appears to be dopaminergic although the characteristics, roles, and implications in disease are less understood. Most investigations relating to enteric dopamine (DA) neurons rely on immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-the rate-limiting enzyme in the production of DA. However, TH immunoreactivity is likely to provide an incomplete picture. This study herein provides a comprehensive characterization of DA neurons in the gut using a reporter mouse line, expressing a fluorescent protein (tdTomato) under control of the DA transporter (DAT) promoter. Our findings confirm a unique localization of DA neurons in the gut and unveil the discrete subtypes of DA neurons in this organ, which we characterized using both immunofluorescence and single-cell transcriptomics, as well as validated using in situ hybridization. We observed distinct subtypes of DAT-tdTomato neurons expressing co-transmitters and modulators across both plexuses; some of them likely co-releasing acetylcholine, while others were positive for a slew of canonical DAergic markers (TH, VMAT2 and GIRK2). Interestingly, we uncovered a seemingly novel population of DA neurons unique to the ENS which was ChAT/DAT-tdTomato-immunoreactive and expressed Grp, Calcb, and Sst. Given the clear heterogeneity of DAergic gut neurons, further investigation is warranted to define their functional signatures and decipher their implication in disease.

Abstract
Pharmacological targeting of the dopamine D4 receptor (D4R)─expressed in brain regions that control cognition, attention, and decision-making─could be useful for several neuropsychiatric disorders including substance use disorders (SUDs). This study focused on the synthesis and evaluation of a novel series of benzothiazole analogues designed to target D4R. We identified several compounds with high D4R binding affinity (Ki ≤ 6.9 nM) and >91-fold selectivity over other D2-like receptors (D2R, D3R) with diverse partial agonist and antagonist profiles. Novel analogue 16f is a potent low-efficacy D4R partial agonist, metabolically stable in rat and human liver microsomes, and has excellent brain penetration in rats (AUCbrain/plasma > 3). 16f (5-30 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently decreased iv cocaine self-administration in rats, consistent with previous results produced by D4R-selective antagonists. Off-target antagonism of 5-HT2A or 5-HT2B may also contribute to these effects. Results with 16f support further efforts to target D4R in SUD treatment.

Serotonin sensing by microglia conditions the proper development of neuronal circuits and of social and adaptive skills. Mol Psychiatry 2023; 28:2328-2342.

Abstract
The proper maturation of emotional and sensory circuits requires fine-tuning of serotonin (5-HT) level during early postnatal development. Consistently, dysfunctions of the serotonergic system have been associated with neurodevelopmental psychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, the mechanisms underlying the developmental effects of 5-HT remain partially unknown, one obstacle being the action of 5-HT on different cell types. Here, we focused on microglia, which play a role in brain wiring refinement, and we investigated whether the control of these cells by 5-HT is relevant for neurodevelopment and spontaneous behaviors in mice. Since the main 5-HT sensor in microglia is the 5-HT2B receptor subtype, we prevented 5-HT signaling specifically in microglia by conditional invalidation of the Htr2b gene in these cells. We observed that abrogating the serotonergic control of microglia during early postnatal development affects the phagolysosomal compartment of these cells and their proximity to dendritic spines and perturbs neuronal circuits maturation. Furthermore, this early ablation of microglial 5-HT2B receptors leads to adult hyperactivity in a novel environment and behavioral defects in sociability and flexibility. Importantly, we show that these behavioral alterations result from a developmental effect, since they are not observed when microglial Htr2b invalidation is induced later, at P30 onward. Thus, a primary alteration of 5-HT sensing in microglia, during a critical time window between birth and P30, is sufficient to impair social and flexibility skills. This link between 5-HT and microglia may explain the association between serotonergic dysfunctions and behavioral traits like impaired sociability and inadaptability to novelty, which are prominent in psychiatric disorders such as ASD.

Differential expression of serotonin 2B receptors in GABAergic and serotoninergic neurons of the rat and mouse dorsal raphe nucleus. Mol Cell Neurosci 2022; 121:103750.

Abstract
The central serotonin2B receptor (5-HT2BR) modulates 5-HT and dopamine (DA) neuronal function in the mammalian brain and has been suggested as a potential target for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders involving derangements of these monoamine systems, such as schizophrenia, cocaine abuse and dependence and major depressive disorder. Studies in rats and mice yielded contrasting results on the control of 5-HT/DA networks by 5-HT2BRs, thereby leading to opposite views on the therapeutic potential of 5-HT2BR agents for treating the above disorders. These discrepancies may result from anatomo-functional differences related to a different cellular location of 5-HT2BRs in rat and mouse brain. Using immunohistochemistry, we assessed this hypothesis by examining the expression of 5-HT2BRs in 5-HT and GABAergic neurons of rats and mice within different subregions of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), currently considered as the main site of action of 5-HT2B agents. Likewise, using in vivo microdialysis, we examined their functional relevance in the control of DRN 5-HT outflow, a surrogate index of 5-HT neuronal activity. In the DRN of both species, 5-HT2BRs are expressed in 5-HT cells expressing tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2), in GABAergic cells expressing glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 (GAD67), and in cells expressing both markers (GAD67 & TPH2; i.e., GABA-expressing 5-HT neurons). The proportion of 5-HT2BR-positive cells expressing only TPH2 was significantly larger in mouse than in rat DRN, whereas the opposite holds true for the expression in cells expressing GAD67 & TPH2. No major species differences were found in the dorsal and ventral subregions. In contrast, the lateral subregion exhibited large differences, with a predominant expression of 5-HT2BRs in TPH2-positive cells in mice (67.2 vs 19.9 % in rats), associated with a lower expression in GAD67 & TPH2 cells (7.9 % in mice vs 41.5 % in rats). Intra-DRN (0.1 μM) administration of the preferential 5-HT2BR agonist BW 723C86 decreased and increased DRN 5-HT outflow in rats and mice respectively, both effects being prevented by the intra-DRN perfusion of the selective 5-HT2BR antagonist RS 127445 (0.1 μM). Altogether, these results show the existence of anatomical differences in the cellular expression of 5-HT2BRs in the rat and mouse DRN, which translate into an opposite control of 5-HT outflow. Also, they highlight the relevance of the subset of GAD67-positive 5-HT neurons as a key factor responsible for the functional differences between rats and mice in terms of 5-HT neuronal activity modulation.

Abstract
The serotonin 2B (5-HT2B) receptor coupled to Gq-protein contributes to the control of neuronal excitability and is implicated in various psychiatric disorders. The mechanisms underlying its brain function are not fully described. Using peptide affinity chromatography combined with mass spectrometry, we found that the PDZ binding motif of the 5-HT2B receptor located at its C-terminal end interacts with the scaffolding protein channel interacting PDZ protein (CIPP). We then showed, in COS-7 cells, that the association of the 5-HT2B receptor to CIPP enhanced receptor-operated inositol phosphate (IP) production without affecting its cell surface and intracellular levels. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that CIPP, the 5-HT2B receptor, and the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor form a macromolecular complex. CIPP increased 5-HT2B receptor clustering at the surface of primary cultured hippocampal neurons and prevented receptor dispersion following agonist stimulation, thus potentiating IP production and intracellular calcium mobilization in dendrites. CIPP or 5-HT2B receptor stimulation in turn dispersed NR1 clusters colocalized with 5-HT2B receptors and increased the density and maturation of dendritic spines. Collectively, our results suggest that the 5-HT2B receptor, the NMDA receptor, and CIPP may form a signaling platform by which serotonin can influence structural plasticity of excitatory glutamatergic synapses.

Abstract
The interaction between serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) in the central nervous system (CNS) plays an important role in the adaptive properties of living animals to their environment. These are two modulatory, divergent systems shaping and regulating in a widespread manner the activity of neurobiological networks and their interaction. The concept of one interaction linking these two systems is rather elusive when looking at the mechanisms triggered by these two systems across the CNS. The great variety of their interacting mechanisms is in part due to the diversity of their neuronal origin, the density of their fibers in a given CNS region, the distinct expression of their numerous receptors in the CNS, the heterogeneity of their intracellular signaling pathway that depend on the cellular type expressing their receptors, and the state of activity of neurobiological networks, conditioning the outcome of their mutual influences. Thus, originally conceptualized as inhibition of 5-HT on DA neuron activity and DA neurotransmission, this interaction is nowadays considered as a multifaceted, mutual influence of these two systems in the regulation of CNS functions. These new ways of understanding this interaction are of utmost importance to envision the consequences of their dysfunctions underlined in several CNS diseases. It is also essential to conceive the mechanism of action of psychotropic drugs directly acting on their function including antipsychotic, antidepressant, antiparkinsonian, and drug of abuse together with the development of therapeutic strategies of Alzheimer's diseases, epilepsy, obsessional compulsive disorders. The 5-HT/DA interaction has a long history from the serendipitous discovery of antidepressants and antipsychotics to the future, rationalized treatments of CNS disorders.

Front Psychiatry 2021; 12:667699. [PMID: 34335325 PMCID: PMC8322446 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.667699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Uncontrolled internet use may lead to the emergence of pathological internet use (PIU). PIU has become a global public health concern that can cause a range of psychotic symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and impulse control disorder. To date, we know very little about the principal biological factors related to PIU. Monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) and serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR) play critical roles in the development of behavioural and drug addictions. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure the relative expression of mRNA of MAOA and 5-HT2AR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with PIU and to determine the correlations between these biological indicators and the comorbid symptoms of patients with PIU. Methods: In this study, the mRNA of MAOA and 5-HT2AR was detected using real-time PCR in PBMCs of the patients with PIU (n = 24) and healthy controls (HCs, n = 25). The relationship between the mRNA levels of MAOA and 5-HT2AR and clinical symptoms in patients with PIU was further investigated. Results: MAOA mRNA in PBMCs was significantly upregulated in patients with PIU compared with that in HCs. mRNA levels of 5-HT2AR were not found to differ significantly between HCs and patients with PIU. Correlation analyses further revealed a significant positive correlation between the relative expression of MAOA mRNA in PBMCs of patients with PIU and the Young's Internet Addiction Test and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores. Conclusion: The present study revealed upregulated expression of MAOA mRNA in patients with PIU and an association between the expression of MAOA mRNA and clinical symptoms of PIU, suggesting that the neurobiological changes may be similar between PIU and substance addiction. Additionally, this study demonstrated a potential association between comorbid symptoms and mRNA levels of MAOA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cocaine dependence has a strong heritability component. The aim of this study was to investigate the putative association between the serotonin 2B receptor gene (HTR2B), crack use disorders and impulsivity. METHODS A French Afro-Caribbean male population of patients with crack use disorders (n = 80) was compared to healthy Afro-Caribbean male controls (n = 60). Comorbid ADHD and impulsivity were assessed. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HTR2B gene were selected: rs643700, rs6736017, rs1549339, rs17586428 and rs3806545. These SNPs were chosen to include most of the linkage disequilibrium blocks in the HTR2B gene. The French translation of the Barratt Impulsivity Scale BIS-11 was used to evaluate impulsivity. Comorbid ADHD was diagnosed using the Wender Utah Rating Scale-25 item for Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder. RESULTS We have observed a positive association between the rs6736017 polymorphism and crack use disorders in a French Afro-Caribbean male population. CONCLUSIONS In our population, the risk effect of HTR2B rs6736017 appeared to be specific to individuals with crack use disorders rather than being driven by impulsivity or ADHD alone.

Serotonin-2B receptor antagonism increases the activity of dopamine and glutamate neurons in the presence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibition. Neuropsychopharmacology 2020; 45:2098-2105.

Abstract
Previous research has implicated the serotonin-2B (5-HT2B) receptor as a possible contributor to the antidepressant-like response. Aripiprazole has been successfully used in combination with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment-resistant depression and it, among all receptors, exhibits the highest affinity for the 5-HT2B receptor. However, the potential contribution of such an antagonistic action on 5-HT2B receptors in the context of adjunct therapy is not known. In vivo electrophysiological recordings of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons, dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) 5-HT neurons and pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and the hippocampus were conducted in anaesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats after the administration of 5-HT2B receptor ligands alone or in combination with the SSRI escitalopram. An escitalopram-induced decrease in DA, but not 5-HT firing activity, was rescued by 2-day co-administration of the selective 5-HT2B receptor antagonist LY266097. In the mPFC, 14-day escitalopram administration alone had no effect on pyramidal neuron firing and burst activity, whereas, aripiprazole administered alone or in combination with escitalopram for 14 days increased pyramidal neuron firing and burst activity. Likewise, the administration of LY266097 alone or its addition on the last 3 days of a 14-day escitalopram regimen increased pyramidal neuron firing and burst activity. These results indicated that 5-HT2B receptors play, at least in part, a role in this enhancement. In the hippocampus, 5-HT2B receptor activation by BW723c86 decreased escitalopram-induced inhibition of 5-HT reuptake, which was reversed by a 5-HT2B receptor antagonist. Altogether, these results put into evidence the possibility that 5-HT2B receptor blockade contributes to the therapeutic effect of aripiprazole addition to SSRIs in depression.

Abstract
Severe peripheral infections induce an adaptive sickness behavior and an innate immune reaction in various organs including the brain. On the long term, persistent alteration of microglia, the brain innate immune cells, is associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders. It is thus critical to identify genes and mechanisms controlling the intensity and duration of the neuroinflammation induced by peripheral immune challenges. We tested the hypothesis that the 5-HT2B receptor, the main serotonin receptor expressed by microglia, might represent a valuable candidate. First, we observed that Htr2b-/- mice, knock-out for the 5-HT2B receptor gene, developed, when exposed to a peripheral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, a stronger weight loss compared to wild-type mice; in addition, comparison of inflammatory markers in brain, 4 and 24 hr after LPS injection, showed that Htr2b deficiency leads to a prolonged neuroinflammation. Second, to assess the specific contribution of the microglial 5-HT2B receptor, we investigated the response to LPS of conditional knock-out mice invalidated for Htr2b in microglia only. We found that deletion of Htr2b in microglia since birth is sufficient to cause enhanced weight loss and increased neuroinflammatory response upon LPS injection at adult stage. In contrast, mice deleted for microglial Htr2b in adulthood responded normally to LPS, revealing a neonatal developmental effect. These results highlight the role of microglia in the response to a peripheral immune challenge and suggest the existence of a developmental, neonatal period, during which instruction of microglia through 5-HT2B receptors is necessary to prevent microglia overreactivity in adulthood.

Improved visual discrimination learning in mice with partial 5-HT2B gene deletion. Neurosci Lett 2020; 738:135378.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been linked to multiple aspects of cognition. For example, in rodents, discrimination and reversal learning are altered by experimentally induced changes in brain serotonin levels, and reduced expression of the 5-HT2B receptor subtype in mice and humans is associated with decreased serotonergic tone and increased behavioral impulsivity. Serotonin modulates cognitive flexibility as well as fear and anxiety, but the specific contributions of 5-HT2B receptors to these behaviors is unknown. The current study assessed mice with partial Htr2b deletion for performance on a touchscreen-based pairwise visual discrimination and reversal learning task followed by a test of cued fear learning. Male Htr2b heterozygous mice (+/-) and littermate controls (+/+) were trained to discriminate between two visual stimuli presented on a touch-sensitive screen, one which predicted delivery of a 14-mg food pellet and the other which was not rewarded. Once discrimination performance criterion was attained, the stimulus-reward contingencies were reversed. Htr2b +/- mice were faster to reach discrimination criterion than +/+ controls, and made fewer errors. Htr2b +/- mice were also slower to make responses and collect rewards. Conversely, measures of reversal learning were not different between genotypes. Pavlovian cued fear conditioning was also normal in Htr2b +/-mice. These data demonstrate a selective improvement in touchscreen-based discrimination learning in mice with partial deletion of the 5-HT2B receptor, and provide further insight into the role of the 5-HT2B receptor in cognition.

Abstract
The striatum is critical for cocaine-induced locomotor responses. Although the role of D1 receptor-expressing neurons is established, underlying molecular pathways are not fully understood. We studied the role of Pyk2, a non-receptor, calcium-dependent protein-tyrosine kinase. The locomotor coordination and basal activity of Pyk2 knock-out mice were not altered and major striatal protein markers were normal. Cocaine injection increased Pyk2 tyrosine phosphorylation in mouse striatum. Pyk2-deficient mice displayed decreased locomotor response to acute cocaine injection. In contrast, locomotor sensitization and conditioned place preference were normal. Cocaine-activated ERK phosphorylation, a signaling pathway essential for these late responses, was unaltered. Conditional deletion of Pyk2 in the nucleus accumbens or in D1 neurons reproduced decreased locomotor response to cocaine, whereas deletion of Pyk2 in the dorsal striatum or in A2A receptor-expressing neurons did not. In mice lacking Pyk2 in D1-neurons locomotor response to D1 agonist SKF-81297, but not to an anticholinergic drug, was blunted. Our results identify Pyk2 as a regulator of acute locomotor responses to psychostimulants. They highlight the role of tyrosine phosphorylation pathways in striatal neurons and suggest that changes in Pyk2 expression or activation may alter specific responses to drugs of abuse, or possibly other behavioral responses linked to dopamine action.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Among-individual behavioral differences (i.e. animal personality) are commonly observed across taxa, although the underlying, causal mechanisms of such differences are poorly understood. Animal personality has been correlated with physiological functions as well as fitness-related traits. Variation in many aspects of monoamine systems, such as metabolite levels and gene polymorphisms, has been linked to behavioral variation. Therefore, here we experimentally investigated the potential role of monoamines in explaining individual variation in personality, using two common pharmaceuticals that respectively alter the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain: fluoxetine and ropinirole. We exposed three-spined sticklebacks, a species that shows animal personality, to either chemical alone or to a combination of the two chemicals, for 18 days. During the experiment, fish were assayed at four time points for the following personality traits: exploration, boldness, aggression and sociability. To quantify brain gene expression on short- and longer-term scales, fish were sampled at two time points. Our results show that monoamine manipulations influence fish behavior. Specifically, fish exposed to either fluoxetine or ropinirole were significantly bolder, and fish exposed to the two chemicals together tended to be bolder than control fish. Our monoamine manipulations did not alter the gene expression of monoamine or stress-associated neurotransmitter genes, but control, untreated fish showed covariation between gene expression and behavior. Specifically, exploration and boldness were predicted by genes in the dopaminergic, serotonergic and stress pathways, and sociability was predicted by genes in the dopaminergic and stress pathways. These results add further support to the links between monoaminergic systems and personality, and show that exposure to monoamines can causally alter animal personality.

Abstract
Monoamine neurotransmitters are released by specialized neurons regulating behavioral, motor, and cognitive functions. Although the localization of monoaminergic neurons in the brain is well known, the distribution and kinetics of monoamines remain unclear. Here, we generated a murine brain atlas of serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) levels using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). We found several nuclei rich in both 5-HT and a catecholamine (DA or NE) and identified the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), where 5-HT and NE are co-localized. The analysis of 5-HT fluctuations in response to acute tryptophan depletion and infusion of isotope-labeled tryptophan in vivo revealed a close kinetic association between the raphe nuclei, PVT, and amygdala but not the other nuclei. Our findings imply the existence of a highly dynamic 5-HT-mediated raphe to PVT pathway that likely plays a role in the brain monoamine system. A murine brain atlas of monoamine (5-HT, DA, NE) levels was generated via MS imaging We identified several nuclei rich in both 5-HT and a catecholamine (DA or NE) The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) had high levels of 5-HT and NE The level of 5-HT in raphe to PVT pathway changed dynamically in response to blood Trp level

Abstract
Objective Pilot study to assess utility in opioid use disorder (OUD) of a panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes previously related to substance use disorder (SUD) and/or phenotypes that predispose individuals to OUD/SUD. Design Genetic association study. Setting West Virginia University's Chestnut Ridge Center Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Treatment (COAT) clinic for individuals diagnosed with OUD. Patients Sixty patients 18 years of age or older with OUD undergoing medication (buprenorphine/naloxone)-assisted treatment (MAT); all sixty patients recruited contributed samples for genetic analysis. Outcome Measures Minor allele frequencies for single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results Four of the fourteen single nucleotide polymorphisms examined were present at frequencies that are statistically significantly different than in a demographically-matched general population. Conclusions For the purposes of testing WV individuals via genetic means for predisposition to OUD, at least four single nucleotide polymorphisms in three genes are likely to have utility in predicting susceptibility. Additional studies with larger populations will need to be conducted to confirm these results before use in a clinical setting.

Translational studies support a role for serotonin 2B receptor (HTR2B) gene in aggression-related cannabis response. Mol Psychiatry 2018; 23:2277-2286. [PMID: 29875475 PMCID: PMC6281782 DOI: 10.1038/s41380-018-0077-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Revised: 04/17/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Cannabis use is increasing in the United States, as are its adverse effects. We investigated the genetics of an adverse consequence of cannabis use: cannabis-related aggression (CRA) using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) design. Our GWAS sample included 3269 African Americans (AAs) and 2546 European Americans (EAs). An additional 89 AA subjects from the Grady Trauma Project (GTP) were also examined using a proxy-phenotype replication approach. We identified genome-wide significant risk loci contributing to CRA in AAs at the serotonin receptor 2B receptor gene (HTR2B), and the lead SNP, HTR2B*rs17440378, showed nominal association to aggression in the GTP cohort of cannabis-exposed subjects. A priori evidence linked HTR2B to impulsivity/aggression but not to cannabis response. Human functional data regarding the HTR2B variant further supported our finding. Treating an Htr2b-/- knockout mouse with THC resulted in increased aggressive behavior, whereas wild-type mice following THC administration showed decreased aggression in the resident-intruder paradigm, demonstrating that HTR2B variation moderates the effects of cannabis on aggression. These concordant findings in mice and humans implicate HTR2B as a major locus associated with cannabis-induced aggression.
