The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacological characteristics of the 5-hydroxytryptamine-(5-HT)-induced electrical response in cultured neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells of the mouse. In these cells 5-HT induces a transient membrane depolarization, which is associated with a transient inward current, that has been recorded in voltage clamp experiments on whole cells. The peak amplitude of the inward current depends on the concentration of 5-HT applied. Maximum peak inward current was evoked by 10 microM 5-HT and half maximum effect by 2 microM. Responses to 5-HT were blocked by nanomolar concentrations of selective 5-HT3-receptor antagonists, whereas the selective agonist 2-methyl-5-HT mimicked the membrane depolarization induced by 5-HT. A number of agonists and antagonists, which are known to act on 5-HT1-like, 5-HT2, dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors failed to affect the response to 5-HT in neuroblastoma cells. Observed antagonistic effects of SCH 23390 [(R)-(+)-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepi n-7-ol hemimaleate] and haloperidol are discussed. The inhibitory effect of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ICS 205-930 [(3 alpha-tropanyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ester] has been demonstrated. When cells were exposed to 0.1 nM ICS 205-930 the maximum evoked response was reduced by about 50%, but a surmountable shift of the concentration-response curve of 5-HT was not observed. The kinetics of the 5-HT-induced inward current remained unchanged in the presence of ICS 205-930. Recovery from the block by ICS 205-930 was very slow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
