Serotonin agonists inhibit synaptic potentials in the rat locus ceruleus in vitro via 5-hydroxytryptamine1A and 5-hydroxytryptamine1B receptors

Abstract

Intracellular recordings were made from rat locus ceruleus neurons in the slice preparation in vitro. Depolarizing synaptic potentials (DSP)2 elicited by electrical stimulation were typically 10 to 15 mV in amplitude and 200 msec in duration. Superfusion with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) or the 5-HT1 receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), produced an inhibition of the DSP. The maximal inhibition was 55 +/- 2% (mean +/- S.E.M.). The EC50 for 5-CT was 60 nM, whereas for 5-HT it was 12 microM. Cocaine (10 microM) shifted the 5-HT concentration-response curve to the left and the EC50 to 320 nM. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, a selective 5-HT1A receptor ligand, also inhibited the DSP, but only produced about 65% of the maximal 5-CT or 5-HT response (EC50 = 50 nM). A relatively selective 5-HT1B ligand (65-fold 5-HT1B greater than 5-HT1A), 1-(m-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperazine, acted as a full agonist (EC50 = 110 nM). None of these compounds had any effects on the membrane properties of the cell at the doses tested. The response to 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin was antagonized by pretreatment with the 5-HT1A antagonist spiperone (1 microM). The estimated KD for spiperone was 16 nM. At this same concentration, however, there was no effect on the 5-CT-induced inhibition. The antagonist 4-(3-ter-butyl-amino-2-hydroxy-propoxyl)-indol-2-carbonic acid isopropyl ester (LM 21-009, 100 nM) was found to be a partial agonist producing a 26 +/- 4% inhibition of the DSP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
