Serotonin antagonists show impressive analgesic efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA) or fibromyalgia; however, this effect is not well understood. We examined the mechanism of serotonin-induced inflammation and its antagonists in OA. Serotonin receptor subtypes and COX-2 were analysed by RT-PCR from synovial tissue. Serum-free cultures were stimulated with 10 muM serotonin and/or the antagonists ketanserin (5-HT(2A)), tropisetron (5-HT(3)) and parecoxib (COX-2). Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were measured by an immunoassay in the supernatants. RT-PCR results showed mRNA for 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(3) receptors, and COX-2. PGE(2) in the supernatants increased by 261.2% +/- 56.7 (mean +/- SEM; P = 0.007) in response to serotonin. TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and LTB4 levels did not change. Ketanserin, tropisetron and parecoxib suppressed PGE(2). The serotonin-induced PGE(2) overexpression appeared thus to be mediated by 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(3) receptors. This activation might involve COX-2. The findings may explain the potent benefit of 5-HT(3) antagonists.
