Abstract: The cyclic GMP (cGMP) content was rapidly (〉30 s) increased by serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] (EC50= 10 μM), and the increase lasted for 〉 10 min in NG108–15 cells. The 5-HT-induced elevation of cGMP level (EC50= 10 μM) at 20 s (“fast” elevation) was inhibited by ICS 205–930 or MDL 72,222 and by Ca2+ deficiency in the reaction medium but not by organic Ca2+ antagonists. The 5-HT effect at 10 min (“slow” elevation) was not inhibited by several antagonists for 5-HT receptors of the IA, IB, IC., ID, 2, and 3 subtypes and was independent from external Ca2+ concentration. The fast and slow effects of 5-HT were similar to the effects of bradykinin and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), respectively, in aspects of both Ca2+ dependency and time course of the effects. Bradykinin transiently stimulated formation of inositol phosphates as well as accumulation of cGMP, a finding suggesting that intracellular Ca2+ is involved in bradykinin-induced cGMP accumulation as shown in the fast response to 5-HT. ANP. an activator of membrane-associated guanylate cyclase (mGC), slowly (∼60 s) increased the cGMP content (EC50= 10 nAf), a result lasting for 〉10 min, and the effects were independent from external Ca2+, as shown in the slow response to 5-HT. 5-HT and ANP did not induce formation of inositol phosphates. These results suggest that (a) the fast effects of 5-HT on cGMP level elevation are mediated by 5-HT3 receptors, which activate cytosolic guanylate cyclase through Ca2+ entry via ion channels other than voltage-sensitive Ca24 channels, and (b) the slow effects seem to be due to an unidentified subtype of 5-HT receptor that activates ANP-sensitive mGC.
