Abstract

The neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), commonly known as serotonin, is stored at peripheral sites in mast cells and released from this peripheral source upon IgE cross-linking. In this study, we investigated the expression of serotoninergic receptors (5-HTR), the signaling pathway, and biological activity of 5-HT on human dendritic cells (DC), showing that immature and mature DC expressed mRNA for different serotoninergic receptors. Thereby, the mRNA of 5-HTR1B, 5-HTR1E, 5-HTR2A, 5-HTR2B, one splicing variant of the 5-HTR3, 5-HTR4, and 5-HTR7 receptors were detected. Immature DC preferentially expressed mRNA for the heptahelical 5-HTR1B, 5-HTR1E, and 5-HTR2B receptors, while mature DC mostly expressed 5-HTR4 and 5-HTR7. The mRNA expression level of the ligand-gated cation channel 5-HTR3 and the heptahelical 5-HTR2A did not significantly change during maturation. Isotype-selective receptor agonists allowed us to show that 5-HT stimulated 5-HTR3-dependent Ca2+ influx in immature and mature DC. Moreover, we revealed that 5-HTR1 and 5-HTR2 receptor stimulation induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization via Gi/o proteins in immature, but not mature, DC. Activation of 5-HTR4 and 5-HTR7 induced cAMP elevation in mature DC. Functional studies indicated that activation of 5-HTR4 and 5-HTR7 enhanced the release of the cytokines IL-1β and IL-8, while reducing the secretion of IL-12 and TNF-α in mature DC. In summary, our study shows that 5-HT stimulated, in a maturation-dependent manner, different signaling pathways in DC. These data point to a role for 5-HT in regulating the immune response at peripheral sites.

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.
