Serotonin transporter inhibitors protect against hypoxic pulmonary hypertension

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) results from constriction and remodeling of pulmonary vessels. Serotonin contributes to both phenomena through different signaling pathways. The mitogenic effect of serotonin on pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells is mediated by the serotonin transporter (5-hydroxytryptamine transporter [5-HTT]), whereas its constricting effect is mediated by 5-HT1B/1D and 5-HT2A receptors. Here, we investigated the respective roles of 5-HTT and 5-HT receptors on the development of chronic hypoxic PH in mice. During exposure to hypoxia (10% O2 for 2 weeks), the animals received one of the specific 5-HTT inhibitors citalopram and fluoxetine (10 mg/kg/day), the selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist GR127935 (2 and 10 mg/kg/day), or the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist ketanserin (2 mg/kg/day). Mice treated with the 5-HTT inhibitors showed less right ventricle hypertrophy (ratio of right ventricle/left ventricle + septum = 36.7 +/- 2.0% and 35.8 +/- 1.3% in citalopram- and fluoxetine-treated mice, respectively, vs. 41.5 +/- 1.5% in vehicle-treated mice) and less pulmonary vessel muscularization (p < 0.01) than those receiving the vehicle. Neither GR127935 nor ketanserin affected these parameters. These data indicate that...Continue Reading
