    Notes: To investigate the functional consequences of cross-talk between multiple effectors of serotonin (5-HT) 1A receptor, we employed transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. Activation of 5-HT1A receptor stimulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, Akt and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB). Stimulation of cells with 5-HT1A receptor agonist induced a rapid but transient ERK1/2 phosphorylation followed by increased phosphorylation of Akt. Elevated Akt activity in turn suppressed Raf activity and induced a decline in ERK activation. The activation of ERK and Akt downstream of 5-HT1A receptor was sensitive to inhibitors of Ras, Raf and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Stimulation of 5-HT1A receptor also resulted in activation of NF-κB through a decrease in inhibitor of nuclear transcription factor-κB. In support of the importance of 5-HT1A receptor signaling for cell survival, inhibition of NF-κB facilitated caspase 3 activation and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, while treatment of cells with agonist inhibited caspase 3, DNA fragmentation and cell death. Both agonist-dependent NF-κB activation and cell survival were decreased by Akt Inhibitor II or by overexpression of dominant-negative Akt. These findings suggest a role for 5-HT1A receptor signaling in the Ras/Raf-dependent regulation of multiple intracellular signaling pathways that include ERK and PI3K/Akt. Of these, only PI3K/Akt and NF-κB activation were required for 5-HT1A receptor-dependent cell survival, implying that the relative distribution of signals between competing transduction pathways determines the functional outcome of 5-HT1A receptor activation.

    Notes: [Auszug] The regulation of cell survival is a central feature in animal development and in diseases such as cancer. Results published over the past year implicate phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream target, the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt, in a pathway that conveys survival signals ...
