The study of serotonin receptor function has been complicated by the extreme molecular diversity of serotonin receptor subtypes, the lack of selective agonists and antagonists for many of the subtypes, and divergence in the pharmacological properties of a single receptor subtype across different animal species. An example of this pharmacological diversity between species homologues is provided by the 5-HT1D receptor subfamily. To further advance the ability to characterize and pharmacologically compare functional responses mediated by native 5-HT1D receptors, we have cloned the 5-HT1D and 5-HT1D receptor subtypes from the rabbit and evaluated their pharmacological profiles using radioligand binding assays. The deduced amino acid sequences of the rabbit 5-HT1D and 5-HT1D receptor genes displayed 60% overall identity [75% transmembrane (TM) identity] to each other and > 90% overall identity (95% TM identity) to their corresponding human homologues. Two compounds were identified in binding assays which discriminated between the closely-related 5-HT1D receptors. Ketanserin exhibited high affinity (pKi = 7.66) and selectivity ( > 20-fold) for the 5-HT1D receptor while methiothepin displayed high affinity (pKi = 7.86) and selectivity (16-fold) for the 5-HT1D receptor subtype. The rabbit and human recombinant 5-HT1D receptors showed significant intraspecies (rabbit 5-HT1D vs. 5HT1D) and interspecies (i.e. rabbit vs. human 5-HT1D) similarities in their ligand binding profiles. These data suggest that 5-HT1D-mediated responses in rabbit preparations may provide information relevant to the pharmacology of the 5-HT1D receptor subtypes in humans. 相似文献

Incubation of mouse thymocytes with arabinosylcytosine or 5-azacytidine induced dose-dependent internucleosomal DNA cleavage followed by cell death. This process was RNA- and protein synthesis-dependent, since DNA fragmentation and cell death was inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. The results suggest that the cytidine analogs induce apoptosis, a programmed cell death, in thymocytes. The DNA cleavage induced by arabinosylcytosine and 5-azacytidine was inhibited by deoxycytidine and cytidine, respectively, suggesting that phosphorylation of these antimetabolites is required to induce DNA cleavage. DNA fragmentation was unaffected by the addition of aphidicolin or 3-aminobenzamide, indicating that DNA cleavage is not due to the inhibition of DNA synthesis or repair. Other antimetabolites, including methotrexate, fluoropyrimidines and thiopurines, failed to induce DNA fragmentation. Arabinosylguanine induced DNA fragmentation similar to that produced by the cytidine analogs, suggesting similarly to the selective sensitivity of T lymphocytes to deoxyguanosine toxicity. The precise mechanism by which DNA cleavage is induced remains unclear, but the present study shows that certain antimetabolites act on cells not only by inhibiting proliferation, but by inducing apoptosis with internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. 相似文献

The responsivity of the serotonergic system to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) administration was investigated in seven patients with panic disorder and seven healthy controls. Using cortisol and -endorphin as hormonal probes, no evidence was obtained for a dysfunction of the serotonin system in patients. Behaviorally, controls responded differently from patients, in that controls seemed to be more sensitive to 5-HTP. None of the subjects reported an increase in anxiety. 相似文献

Prepulse inhibition (PPI), a preattentional information-filtering mechanism, is disrupted by serotonin (5-HT) or norepinephrine (NE) agonists to model deficits seen in schizophrenia, but whether this effect occurs through interactions between these systems is not known. 相似文献5.
Arachidonic acid metabolism pathway plays an important role in the functions of both peripheral organs and the central nervous system (CNS) , especially in inflammatory disorders. Recently, a line of evidence has shown that 5 - lipoxygenase ( 5 - LOX) and its metabolites, such as dihydroxyl leukotriene ( LTB4 ) and cysteinyl leukotrienes ( Cys-LTs, including LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4 ) are involved in brain injuries, such as cerebral ischemia, 相似文献

The mammalian heart expresses at least five phosphodiesterases (PDE1–5). Catecholamines produce surges of inotropically relevant cAMP through β1-adrenoceptor stimulation. cAMP is mainly hydrolysed by PDE3 and/or PDE4 thereby blunting contractility. Basal sinoatrial beating rate in mouse, rat, piglet and rabbit sinoatrial cells is reduced by PDE3 and/or PDE4 through hydrolysis of cAMP. However, in rodents, the tachycardia elicited by catecholamines through production of cAMP by β-adrenoceptor activation is not controlled by PDE3 and PDE4, despite a blunting effect of PDE3 or/and PDE4 on basal sinoatrial beating, but it is unknown whether PDE3 limits catecholamine-evoked tachycardia in the rabbit. Since rabbit sinoatrial cells are an important model for pacemaker research, we investigated whether the positive chronotropic effects of (?)-noradrenaline on spontaneously beating right atria of the rabbit are potentiated by inhibition of PDE3 with cilostamide (300 nM). We also studied the sinoatrial effects of the PDE4 inhibitor rolipram (10 μM) and its influence on the responses to (?)-noradrenaline. For comparison, we investigated the influence of cilostamide and rolipram on the positive inotropic responses to (?)-noradrenaline on rabbit left atria and right ventricular papillary muscles. Cilostamide and concurrent cilostamide?+?rolipram, but not rolipram alone, increased sinoatrial rate by 15% and 31% of the effect of (?)-isoprenaline (200?µM) but the PDE inhibitors did not significantly change the chronotropic potency of (?)-noradrenaline. In contrast in papillary muscle, the positive inotropic effects of (?)-noradrenaline were potentiated 2.4-, 2.6- and 44-fold by cilostamide, rolipram and concurrent cilostamide?+?rolipram, respectively. In left atrium, the positive inotropic effects of (?)-noradrenaline were marginally potentiated by cilostamide, as well as potentiated 2.7- and 32-fold by rolipram and by concurrent cilostamide and rolipram respectively. To compare the influence of PDE1–5 on basal sinoatrial rate and (?)-noradrenaline-evoked tachycardia, we investigated on rat right atria the effects of selective inhibitors. The PDE4 inhibitor rolipram and non-selective inhibitor isobutyl-methylxanthine caused tachycardia with –logEC50s of 7.2 and 5.0 and E max of 18% and 102% of (?)-isoprenaline, respectively. Rolipram did not change the chronotropic potency of (?)-noradrenaline. At high concentrations (10–30?µM), the PDE1, PDE3 and PDE5 inhibitors 8-methoxymethyl-3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, cilostamide and sildenafil, respectively, caused marginal tachycardia but did not significantly change the chronotropic potency of (?)-noradrenaline. The PDE2-selective inhibitor erythro-9-[2-hydroxy-3-nonyl]adenine caused marginal bradycardia at 30?µM and tended to reduce the chronotropic potency of (?)-noradrenaline. Rabbit PDE3 reduces basal sinoatrial rate. Although PDE4 only marginally reduces rate, under conditions of PDE3 inhibition, it further reduces sinoatrial rate. Both PDE3 and PDE4 control atrial and ventricular positive inotropic effects of (?)-noradrenaline. In contrast, neither PDE3 nor PDE4 limit the sinoatrial tachycardia induced by (?)-noradrenaline. In the rat, only PDE4, but not PDE1, PDE2, PDE3 and PDE5, reduces basal sinoatrial rate. None of the five rat PDEs limits the (?)-noradrenaline-evoked tachycardia. Taken together, these results confirm and expand evidence for our proposal that the cAMP-compartment modulating basal sinoatrial rate, controlled by PDE3 and/or PDE4, is different from the PDE-resistant cAMP compartment involved in β1-adrenoceptor-mediated sinoatrial tachycardia. 相似文献

Benzodiazepines negatively affect motor coordination and balance and produce myorelaxation. The aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which populations of γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptors containing α1 and α5 subunits contribute to these motor-impairing effects in rats. We used the nonselective agonist diazepam and the α1-selective agonist zolpidem, as well as nonselective, α1-subunit and α5-subunit-selective antagonists flumazenil, βCCt, and XLi093, respectively. Ataxia and muscle relaxation were assessed by rotarod and grip strength tests performed 20 min after intraperitoneal treatment. Diazepam (2 mg/kg) induced significant ataxia and muscle relaxation, which were completely prevented by pretreatment with flumazenil (10 mg/kg) and βCCt (20 mg/kg). XLi093 antagonized the myorelaxant, but not the ataxic actions of diazepam. All three doses of zolpidem (1, 2, and 5 mg/kg) produced ataxia, but only the highest dose (5 mg/kg) significantly decreased the grip strength. These effects of zolpidem were reversed by βCCt at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. The present study demonstrates that α1 GABAA receptors mediate ataxia and indirectly contribute to myorelaxation in rats, whereas α5 GABAA receptors contribute significantly, although not dominantly, to muscle relaxation but not ataxia. 相似文献

AIM: The differentiation capability of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) was studied using U937 and KG1 cells. METHODS: Cell cycle was analyzed by PI staining using flow cytometry. Apoptosis was measured by Annexin-V-FITC/PI double staining using flow cytometry. Differentiation was observed by morphological criteria, Wright-Giemsa staining and expression of cell surface markers CD11b and CD14. RESULTS: Variable GTP concentrations (25-200 micromol/L) at short treatment times (up to 24 h) showed significant anti-proliferative activities among both cell types. However, longer treatment times (up to 72 h) were required to trigger apoptosis. Cell-cycle analyses of the GTP-treated cells indicated an increase in S-phase population by 48 h followed by the appearance of a sub-G(1) peak after 72 h of treatment. The effects of GTP on U937 and KG1 cells were accompanied with differentiation toward monocyte/macrophage lineage. This was evidenced by a sharp increase in the extent of CD11b and CD14 expression after 24 h of exposure to GTP. The viability of both cell types did not significantly change during the first 24 h. However, at longer treatment times (72-96 h), dramatic decreases in both the extent of CD14 expression and the cell viabilities were observed. Simultaneous measurement of apoptosis and CD14 expression in GTP-treated U937 cells indicated that cells with lower CD14 content underwent more apoptosis. CONCLUSION: These finding may pave the way for further pharmaceutical evaluation of GTP as a suitable differentiating agent for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) therapy. 相似文献

Recombinant human 5-HT1D and 5-HT1D receptor subtypes were stably expressed in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts (1D cell line) and Y-1 adrenocortical tumor cells (1D cell line), respectively, for pharmacological evaluations of serotonergic compounds to inhibit forskolin-stimulated CAMP accumulation (FSCA). [3H]LSD saturation studies indicated that 5-HT1D receptor expression levels were slightly higher in the 1D cell line (B
max = 1334 ± 134 fmol/mg protein) than in the (1D) cell line (B
max = 900 ± 900 fmol/mg protein). 5-HT inhibited FSCA with similar potencies (EC50 2 nM) in both assay systems. The rank order of agonist potencies in both clonal cell lines matched their pharmacological profiles previously determined in binding studies: dihydroergotamine >- 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) > LSD >- 5-HT > sumatriptan > 1-naphthylpiperazine (1-NP) > yohimbine > 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH DPAT) > 1-(2,5-dimethoxy4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), with Ki/EC50 ratios greater than unity. Methiothepin acted as a silent antagonist at both human 5-HT1D and 5-HT1D receptors with apparent dissociation constants (Kb values) of 12 ± 1 nM and 3 ± 1 nM, respectively. Whereas GR 127,935, metergoline, DOI, and quipazine acted as full agonists in the 1D cell line, these compounds behaved as partial agonists in the 1D cell line.To determine whether high levels of receptor reserve might mask partial agonist activity in the two second messenger assay systems, studies were performed using the irreversible receptor alkylating agent N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ). The relationships between receptor occupancy and inhibition of FSCA were determined for 5-HT, sumatriptan, and 1-NP in both clonal cell lines after partial receptor inactivation using Furchgott analysis. Hyperbolic relationships between receptor occupancy and second messenger response were determined for 5-HT in both transfected cell lines. Steep hyperbolic relationships were also found for sumatriptan and 1-NP in the 1D cell line whereas nearly linear relationships were observed for these two compounds in the 1D cell line. Moreover, KA/EC50 ratios of these compounds were significantly larger in the (1D)(10–32) as compared to the 1D (0.9–2.5) cell line. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the two heterologous expression systems contain a differential amount of receptor reserve. Despite the presence of an apparently larger receptor reserve in the 1D cell line, GR 127,935, metergoline, DOI, and quipazine behaved as partial agonists.Although the potencies (EC50 values) of compounds matched their respective affinity constants (Ki values) for the closely-related 5-HT1D subtypes, differences in intrinsic activities were observed for a few compounds between the two 5-HT1D receptor expression systems. Since receptor reserve is dependent on the properties of both the assay system and drug, the observed variations in intrinsic activity, although influenced by the variable amounts of receptor reserve in the two transfected cell lines, reflect primarily system-independent differences in the intrinsic efficacy of the tested compounds at the two human 5-HT1D receptors. Higher intrinsic efficacies of compounds at the human 5-HT1D receptor relative to the human 5-HT1D subtype may be responsible for the higher intrinsic activities observed in the (1D) cell line, even though receptor reserve is apparently lower in this system.Abbreviations

- The aim of the present work was to characterize the 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A) antagonistic actions of (−)-pindolol and WAY 100635 (N-(2-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethyl)-N-(2-pyridinyl) cyclohexane carboxamide). Studies were performed on 5-HT1A receptors located on 5-hydroxytryptaminergic neurones in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and on pyramidal cells in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus in rat brain slices.
- Intracellular electrophysiological recording of CA1 pyramidal cells and 5-hydroxytryptaminergic DRN neurones showed that the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) evoked in both cell types a concentration-dependent cell membrane hyperpolarization and a decrease in cell input resistance. On its own, (−)-pindolol did not modify the cell membrane potential and resistance at concentrations up to 10 μM, but it antagonized the 5-CT effects in a concentration-dependent manner. Similar antagonism of 5-CT effects was observed in the CA3 hippocampal region. (−)-Pindolol also prevented the 5-HT1A receptor-mediated hyperpolarization of CA1 pyramidal cells due to 5-HT (15 μM). In contrast, the 5-HT-induced depolarization mediated by presumed 5-HT4 receptors persisted in the presence of 3 μM (−)-pindolol.
- In the hippocampus, (−)-pindolol completely prevented the hyperpolarization of CA1 pyramidal cells by 100 nM 5-CT (IC50=92 nM; apparent KB=20.1 nM), and of CA3 neurones by 300 nM 5-CT (IC50=522 nM; apparent KB=115.1 nM). The block by (−)-pindolol was surmounted by increasing the concentration of 5-CT, indicating a reversible and competitive antagonistic action.
- Extracellular recording of the firing rate of 5-hydroxytryptaminergic neurones in the DRN showed that (−)-pindolol blocked, in a concentration-dependent manner, the decrease in firing elicited by 100 nM 5-CT (IC50=598 nM; apparent KB=131.7 nM) or 100 nM ipsapirone (IC50=132.5 nM; apparent KB=124.9 nM). The effect of (−)-pindolol was surmountable by increasing the concentration of the agonist. Intracellular recording experiments showed that 10 μM (−)-pindolol were required to antagonize completely the hyperpolarizing effect of 100 nM 5-CT.
- In vivo labelling of brain 5-HT1A receptors by i.v. administration of [3H]-WAY 100635 ([O-methyl-3H]-N-(2-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethyl-N-(2-pyridyl)cyclo-hexane-carboxamide) was used to assess their occupancy following in vivo treatment with (−)-pindolol. (−)-Pindolol (15 mg kg−1) injected i.p. either subchronically (2 day-treatment before i.v. injection of [3H]-WAY 100635) or acutely (20 min before i.v. injection of [3H]-WAY 100635) markedly reduced [3H]-WAY 100635 accumulation in all 5-HT1A receptor-containing brain areas. In particular, no differences were observed in the capacity of (−)-pindolol to prevent [3H]-WAY 100635 accumulation in the DRN and the CA1 and CA3 hippocampal areas.
- Intracellular electrophysiological recording of 5-hydroxytryptaminergic DRN neurones showed that WAY 100635 prevented the hyperpolarizing effect of 100 nM 5-CT in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=4.9 nM, apparent KB=0.25 nM). In CA1 pyramidal cells, hyperpolarization induced by 50 nM 5-CT was also antagonized by WAY 100635 (IC50=0.80 nM, apparent KB=0.28 nM).

Summary GR 43175 (3-[2-dimethylamino]ethyl-N-methyl-1H-indole-5 methane sulphonamide) is a novel 5-HT1-like receptor-selective agonist which was reported to be active in the treatment of migraine attacks. The effects of the compound were investigated in radioligand binding studies and in functional models for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, and 5-HT1D receptors (inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in calf hippocampus, rat and calf substantia nigra, respectively) and 5-HT1C receptors (stimulation of inositol phosphate production in pig choroid plexus).GR 43175 displayed the following order of affinity for 5-HT recognition sites (pKD values, -log mol/l, in parentheses): 5-HT1D (7.54) > 5-HT1B (6.35) > 5-HT1A (6.13) 5-HT1C (4.13) > 5-HT2 (3.67). The same order of potency was observed at functional 5-HT1 receptors, at which GR 43175 acted as a full agonist, with the exception of the 5-HT1C receptor, where the compound was a weak antagonist (pEC50 or pKB values, -log mol/l, in parentheses): 5-HT1D (6.28) > 5-HT1B (6.03) > 5-HT1A (5.57) > 5-HT1C (4.25).The present data show that GR 43175 interacts preferentially as an agonist with 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors. Since 5-HT1B receptors have not yet been identified in human brain, it seems possible that it is the 5-HT1D receptor which is relevant to the reported antimigraine effects of this compound.Send offprint requests to D.

Few animal model studies have been conducted in order to evaluate the impact of androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) supraphysiological doses on the cardiovascular system and myocardial injury. Twenty-five male CD1 mice (8-10 weeks old; 35g initial body weight) were randomized into three AAS treated groups and two control groups. The AAS mice received intramuscular Nandrolone Decanoate (DECA-DURABOLIN), vehicled in arachidis oil, for 42 days, twice per week, with different dosages, studying plasma lipid analysis, cardiac histopathological features, cardiac β (1) adrenergic receptor expression, and the effects of the myocardial expression of inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, TNF-α) on the induction of cardiomyocytes apoptosis (HSP 70, TUNEL), using proteomic and immunohistochemical analysis. The mice had free movements in their animal rooms (two groups) or exercised by running on a motor-driven treadmill the others three groups. Recurring high dose AAS administration and physical training in mice produce significant increase in body weight and for total cholesterol. A moderate increase of the heart weight, cardiac hypertrophy and wide colliquative myocytolysis, were observed in high dose AAS administration and physical training group. The expression of HSP70 and inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, increased in the three AAS-treated groups. TNF- α showed a more extensive expression in the AAS-high dose group. A significant apoptotic process randomly sparse in the myocardium was described. Our data support the hypothesis that the combined effects of vigorous training, anabolic steroid abuse and stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, may predispose to myocardial injury. 相似文献

Summary Radioligand binding studies were performed in membranes of rabbit whole brain and striatum using the novel iodinated radioligand for 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D sites, Serotonin-5-O-Carboxymethyl-Glycyl[125I]Tyrosinamide ([125I]GTI).[125I]GTI labelled a finite number of high affinity sites in rabbit brain membranes, Bmax = 191 +- 47 fmol/mg protein, pKD (-log mol/1) = 8.50 +- 0.13, n = 5. The pharmacological profile of [152I]GTI binding was fully comparable to that reported previously in human and other brain preparations known to possess 5-HT1D sites (using either [3H]5-HT or [125I]GTI) and displayed a characteristic rank order of affinity: 5-carboxamidotryptamine > 5-HT = dihydroergotamine _> ergotamine _ sumatriptan >_ CGS 12066 >- metergoline > yohimbine >_ methysergide > ICYP > 8-OH-DPAT >_ CP 93129 > (-)pindolol > ketanserin > isamoltane > mesulergine > corynanthine > buspirone > MDL 72222.Autoradiographic studies were performed on rabbit brain slices using [3H]5-HT in the presence of 100 nmol/1 8-OH-DPAT and mesulergine (in order to mask 5-HT1A and 5-HT1c binding sites) and [125I]CYP (iodocyanopindolol) in the presence of µmol/I isoprenaline and 100 nmol/l 8-OH-DPAT (in order to mask adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A binding sites). There was no detectable specific binding of [125I]CYP through the brain, thus excluding the presence of 5-HT1B sites in rabbit brain. By contrast, [3H]5-HT labelled a high density of sites in globus pallidus, substantia nigra and superior colliculus. Other regions displaying labelling include the striatum, the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the periaqueductal grey matter. This pattern of distribution is compatible with that reported for 5-HT1D sites in other species.The present data strongly suggest that rabbit brain has recognition sites with the pharmacological profile and distribution characteristic of the 5-HT1D recognition site. These findings are in agreement with results obtained by Limberger et al. (1991), suggesting the terminal 5-HT autoreceptor of the rabbit brain to belong to the 5-HT1D subtype. Except for limited species variations (see Bruinvels et al. 1992), the pharmacology of these sites does not justify an addition to the existing nomenclature (5-HT1R), in contrast to what has been proposed by Xiong and Nelson (1989). The rabbit represents another laboratory species in which 5-HT1D receptor mediated effects could be studied.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and Casein kinase 1 (CK1) are both involved in the hyperphosphorylation of the Tau protein and in the amyloid-β production, the two major hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. In the present paper, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of new series of 2,6,9-trisubstituted purines derived from DRF53, a dual specificity inhibitor of the kinase activity of CDK5 (IC50 = 80 nM) and CK1 (IC50 = 10 nM), and are able to prevent in a dose-dependent manner the CK1-dependent production of amyloid-β in a cell model. Several molecules (e.g., 6e, 6g, 7c) displayed potent kinase inhibitory activities against CDK5 and CK1 (IC50 values ranging from 20 to 50 nM) among which a selective inhibitor of CK1 has been identified (5a, IC50 = 60 nM). In addition, some compounds exhibit sub-micromolar activities against DYRK1A (dual specificity, tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A), a kinase involved in Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease (6g, IC50 = 510 nM). 相似文献
