1. A human recombinant homo-oligomeric 5-HT3 receptor (h5-HT3A) expressed in a human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293) was characterized using the whole-cell recording configuration of the patch clamp technique.2. 5-KT evoked transient inward currents (EC50 = 3.4 mu M; Hill coefficient = 1.8) that were blocked by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron (IC50 = 103 pM) and by the nonselective agents metoclopramide (IC50 = 69 nM), cocaine (IC50 = 459 nM) and (+)-tubocurarine (IC50 = 2.8 mu M).3. 5-HT-induced currents rectified inwardly and reversed in sign (E5-HT) at a potential of -2.2 mV. N-Methyl-D-glucamine was finitely permeant. Permeability ratios P-Na/P-Cs and P-NMDG/P-Cs were 0.90 and 0.083, respectively.4. Permeability towards divalent cations was assessed from measurements of E5-HT in media where Ca2+ and Mg2+ replaced Na+.P-Ca/P-Cs and P-Mg/P-Cs were calculated to be 1.00 and 0.61, respectively.5. Single channel chord conductance (gamma) estimated from fluctuation analysis of macroscopic currents increased with membrane hyperpolarization from 243 fS at -40 mV to 742 fS at -100 mV.6. Reducing [Ca2+](o) from 2 to 0.1 mM caused an increase in the whole-cell current evoked by 5-HT. A concomitant reduction in [Mg2+](o) produced further potentiation. Fluctuation analysis indicates that a voltage-independent augmentation of gamma contributes to this phenomenon.7. The data indicate that homo-oligomeric receptors composed of h5-HT3A subunits form inwardly rectifying cation-selective ion channels of low conductance that are permeable to Ca2+ and Mg2+.
