脊髓5—HT1A受体和5HT3受体参与的心血管反应

给清醒大鼠脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射(ith)5-羟色胺(5-HT)1.56、3.125、6.25和12.5μg/1Oμl后引起明显血压升高,并呈量效关系,但心率(HR)无明显改变。Ith 5-HT 再摄取抑制剂 fluoxetine(10μg/10μ1)后也使平均动脉压(mABP)明显上升,这一效应可被5-HT 受体阻断剂肉桂硫胺(cinanserin 25μg/1Oμl)完全阻断。8-OH-DPAT 和2-Methylhydroxy-tryptamine 分别为5-HT_(1A)受体和5-HT_3受体的激动剂,在 ith 8-OH-DPAT(2.5,5.0,1Oμg/1Oμl)后 mABP 明显上升,但 HR 减慢;相反,ith 2-Methylhydroxytryptamine 之后则使 mABP 明显降低,HR 无明显变化。以上结果表明,脊髓中5-HT 可通过激活5-HT_(1A)受体引起血压升高,激活5-HT_3受体则引起血压降低。这一发现对有关5-HT 中枢效应的不同报道提出了一种可能的解释。

CARDIOVASCULAR REACTIONS MEDIATED BY 5-HT_(1A) AND 5-HT_3 RECEPTORS IN THE SPINAL CORD OF CONSCIOUS RATS

Intrathecal administration (ith) of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 1.56, 3.125, 6.25 and 12.5 micrograms/10 microliters) to conscious rats produced a marked dose-dependent hypertensive effect without significant change in heart rate (HR). Ith administration of fluoxetine (10 micrograms/microliters), one of the presynaptic reuptake inhibitors of 5-HT, produced a marked increase in the mean arterial blood pressure (mABP). This effect could be prevented by a pretreatment with cinanserin (25 micrograms ith) as a blocker of 5-HT receptor. It was further observed that ith of 8-OH-DAPT (2.5, 5, 10 micrograms/10 microliters), a 5-HT1A receptor agonist, produced a dose-dependent increase of mABP and lowering of HR. However, ith of 5-HT3 receptor agonist 2-Methylserotonin (25, 50, 100 micrograms/10 microliters), decreased mABP markedly without change in HR. The results indicate that 5-HT in the spinal cord may extra hypertensive effect via 5-HT1A receptor and a hypotensive effect via 5-HT3 receptor. This gives a possible explanation about the conflicting reports concerning the effect of 5-HT in the central nervous system on blood pressure.
