The present studies have identified a series of diaminopyrimidines and diaminopyridines as novel 5-HT(7) receptor ligands. Three regiosiomeric classes of pyrimidines and four regioisomeric classes of pyridines were synthesized and analyzed for binding to the 5-HT(7) receptor. The 5-HT(7) binding affinities of different regioisomers show clearly the structure-activity relationship with position of ring nitrogens.

Behavioral Consequences of Hippocampal 5-HT7 Receptors Blockade in Stressed Rats.

Serotonin (5-HT) has long been involved in response to stress and its effect may be, in part, mediated by 5-HT1a and 5-HT7 receptor subtypes in different brain structures. Both pre- and post-synaptic activation of 5-HT1a receptor, respectively, in the rat median raphe nucleus (MnRN) and hippocampus, lead to adaptation to acute inescapable stressors such as restraint and forced swim. 5-HT7 receptor (5HT7r), a stimulatory G-protein coupled receptor, has also been investigated as a possible candidate for mediating stress response.

Background: Homo- and heteromerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) plays an important role in the regulation of receptor functions. Recently, we demonstrated an interaction between the serotonin receptor 7 (5-HT7R), a class A GPCR, and the cell adhesion molecule CD44. However, the functional consequences of this interaction on 5-HT7R-mediated signaling remained enigmatic.

The first of our aims in this study was to investigate the effects of 5-HT2AR, 5-HT7R, and A2AR blockades on miR-27b-3p expression in the short and long-term in neuroblastoma cells. Our second aim was to reduce the expression of pERK and suppress proliferation by blocking the 5-HT2AR with ketanserin. Our third aim was to reduce the expression of pAKT and induce apoptosis by blocking the A2AR and 5-HT7R with MSX3 and SB269970.

Background: The study examined the effects of 5-HT receptor activation on GABAergic transmission within the dentate gyrus and plasticity at the glutamatergic perforant path input.

Methods: Immunofluorescence imaging was performed using transverse hippocampal slices from transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the Htr7 promoter. This was followed by whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiological recordings assessing the effects of pharmacologically activating 5-HT receptors on spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded from dentate granule cells and hilar mossy cells-two glutamatergic neuron types present in the dentate gyrus.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor disfunction, seizures, intellectual disability, speech deficits, and autism-like behavior, showing high comorbidity with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is known that stimulation of the serotonin receptor 7 (5-HT7R) can rescue some of the behavioral and neuroplasticity dysfunctions in animal models of Fragile X and Rett syndrome, two pathologies associated with ASD. In view of these observations, we hypothesised that alterations of 5-HT7R signalling might also be involved in AS.
