Sustained treatment with a 5-HT2A receptor agonist causes functional desensitization and reductions in agonist-labeled 5-HT2A receptors despite increases in receptor protein levels in rats
Open accessAbstract
Adaptive changes in serotonin2A (5-HT(2A)) receptor signaling are associated with the clinical response to a number of psychiatric drugs including atypical antipsychotics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The present study examined possible mechanisms of agonist-induced desensitization of 5-HT(2A) receptors in rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) after 4 and 7 days of treatment with 1mg/kg (-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane HCl (DOI). The magnitude of 5-HT(2A) receptor-mediated oxytocin release decreased 78% after 4 days and 61% after 7 days of DOI treatment. Similarly, the magnitude of ACTH release following 1mg/kg DOI decreased by 31% after 4 days and 38% after 7 days of DOI treatment. Treatment with DOI for either 4 or 7 days caused a significant decrease (by approximately 50%) in the high-affinity 5-HT(2A) receptor binding as measured by (125)I-DOI binding compared to saline-treated control rats. In contrast, western blot analysis demonstrated a significant increase in 5-HT(2A) receptor protein levels with 4 or 7 days of DOI treatment to 167% and 191% of control levels, respectively. Real time quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed a small but nonsignificant increase in the levels of 5-HT(2A) mRNA following treatment with DOI for 4 or 7 days. Taken together, the 5-HT(2A) receptor-stimulated hormone responses, agonist binding data and western blot data suggest that although agonist treatment increases the levels of 5-HT(2A) receptor protein in the cell membrane, there is a reduction in the population of 5-HT(2A) receptors capable of high-affinity binding and mediating a functional response.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
