The distribution and function of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT(2A)) receptor were investigated in the intestines of wild-type (5-HT(2A) +/+) and knockout (5-HT(2A) -/-) mice. In 5-HT(2A) +/+ mice, rats, and guinea pigs, 5-HT(2A) receptor immunoreactivity was found on circular and longitudinal smooth muscle cells, neurons, enterocytes, and Paneth cells. Muscular 5-HT(2A) receptors were concentrated in caveolae; neuronal 5-HT(2A) receptors were found intracellularly and on the plasma membranes of nerve cell bodies and axons. Neuronal 5-HT(2A) immunoreactivity was detected as early as E14 in ganglia, intravillus nerves, and the deep muscle plexus. The 5-HT(2A) -/- colon did not express 5-HT(2A) receptors and did not contract in response to exogenous 5-HT. 5-HT(2A) -/- enterocytes were smaller, Paneth cells fewer, and muscle layers thinner (and showed degeneration) compared with those of 5-HT(2A) +/+ littermates. The 5-HT(2A) receptor may thus be required for the maintenance and/or development of enteric neuroeffectors and other enteric functions, although gastrointestinal and colonic transit times in 5-HT(2A) -/- and +/+ mice did not differ significantly.
