[The Effects of Inhibitors of Rho- and tyrosine c-Src-kinases on serotonin-induced constrictions of the aorta and mesenteric artery in rats]. 2014

L M Kozhevnikova, and A A Moskovtsev, and M V Mesitov

We found that the inhibitor of Rho-kinase fasudil selectively inhibited constriction of isolated rings of the aorta and mesenteric artery in rats in response to application of the agonists of 5HT2A-(DOI and TBC-2) and 5HT1A-receptors (8-OH-DPAT) and did not influence vasoconstriction induced by serotonin. We demonstrate for the first time that application of the agonists of 5HT2C-receptors (MK 212 and SCH 23390) did not influence the tone of "intact" vessels. The marked vasoconstrictory effect of the agonists of 5HT2C-receptors was observed in the vessels preconstricted due to angiotensin II or vasopressin. We found that the inhibitor of Rho-kinase did not influence negatively on MK 212 or SCH 23390-induced constriction of isolated rings of the aorta and mesenteric artery in rats. We suppose.that, in the presence of fasudil, serotonin induces constriction of vessels through the interaction with 5HT2C-receptors and signal transduction from these receptors does not involve Rho-kinase activity. We found that fasudil attenuated vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine and vasopressin by 40%. We.demonstrated that tyrosine c-Src-kinase plays the most important role in signal transduction from 5HT-receptors because its effects are specific with relation to these receptors.

D009638	Norepinephrine	Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001011	Aorta	The main trunk of the systemic arteries.	Aortas
D012701	Serotonin	A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator.	5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
