title: Serotonin stimulates both cytosolic and membrane-bound guanylate cyclase in NG108-15 cells.
abstract: The cyclic GMP (cGMP) content was rapidly (greater than 30 s) increased by serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] (EC50 = 10 microM), and the increase lasted for greater than 10 min in NG108-15 cells. The 5-HT-induced elevation of cGMP level (EC50 = 10 microM) at 20 s ("fast" elevation) was inhibited by ICS 205-930 or MDL 72,222 and by Ca2+ deficiency in the reaction medium but not by organic Ca2+ antagonists. The 5-HT effect at 10 min ("slow" elevation) was not inhibited by several antagonists for 5-HT receptors of the 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, and 3 subtypes and was independent from external Ca2+ concentration. The fast and slow effects of 5-HT were similar to the effects of bradykinin and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), respectively, in aspects of both Ca2+ dependency and time course of the effects. Bradykinin transiently stimulated formation of inositol phosphates as well as accumulation of cGMP, a finding suggesting that intracellular Ca2+ is involved in bradykinin-induced cGMP accumulation as shown in the fast response to 5-HT. ANP, an activator of membrane-associated guanylate cyclase (mGC), slowly (approximately 60 s) increased the cGMP content (EC50 = 10 nM), a result lasting for greater than 10 min, and the effects were independent from external Ca2+, as shown in the slow response to 5-HT. 5-HT and ANP did not induce formation of inositol phosphates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
