Serum and serotonin induce retraction of calf aortic smooth muscle (CASM) cells in vitro: inhibition by ketanserin, a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist.

Abstract:

:Calf aortic smooth muscle (CASM) cells cultured in vitro at high cell density (4 x 10(4) cells/cm2) on bacteriological petri dishes in the presence of serum pile up in clusters and create open spaces in the monolayer. This phenomenon is clearly visible 6 days after plating and is markedly enhanced by the addition of fetal calf serum. Serotonin is essential for the serum-induced retraction since (1) dialyzed serum has no effect, (2) of all the vasoactive agents we tested, only serotonin induced a similar degree of retraction, and (3) the serum-induced retraction was completely blocked by preincubating the cells with serotonin 5-HT2 receptor blockers such as ketanserin and ritanserin but not by preincubation with adrenergic-alpha 1 blockers or histamine antagonists. Serotonin caused CASM cell retraction in a dose-dependent way, with a maximum effect at 10(-6) M. The serotonin-induced retraction was reversible in time and was effectively blocked by ketanserin (IC50 = 1.2 x 10(-9) M). It is therefore concluded that serotonin induces retraction of CASM cells, mediated by the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor.
