ABSTRACT
The 5-HT1A receptor is a prototypical member of the large and diverse serotonin receptor family. One key role of this receptor is to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation via the extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK) mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase. There are few reports on the ability of the 5-HT1A receptor to modulate other MAP kinases such as c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which is activated by various extracellular stimuli, resulting in cell growth, differentiation, and programmed cell death. We report here for the first time that the 5-HT1A receptor stimulates JNK. JNK stimulation was Pertussis toxin-sensitive and was mediated by Rho family low molecular weight GTPases. The 5-HT1A receptor also increased apoptosis, which was mimicked by the MEK inhibitor PD98059, and blocked by the JNK inhibitor SP600125. These results suggest that the 5-HT1A receptor stimulates both ERK-dependent anti-apoptotic pathways and JNK-dependent pro-apoptotic pathways in CHO cells.
