Purpose: Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), a monoamine neurotransmitter released by prostate neuroendocrine cells, has a fundamental role in tumor growth, differentiation and gene expression. We investigated the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonists on the growth of prostate cancer cells and we identified 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor expression in PC3 cells and in human hormone refractory prostate cancer tissue.Materials and Methods: A total of 12 preparations of hormone refractory PC3 human prostate cancer cells were incubated with 5-hydroxytryptamine, or the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonists 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A), (1B), (1D), (2), (3) or (4). After 72 hours cell viability was assessed using the crystal violet assay. PC3 cells treated with 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and (1B) antagonists were investigated for apoptosis using flow cytometry. PC3 cells and sections of hormone refractory human prostate cancer tissue were studied by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis.Results: In PC3 cells 5-hydroxytryptamine caused dose dependent proliferation with a maximum increase of 15% in 12 preparations at a concentration of 10(-8) M at 72 hours compared to controls (p < 0.0001). At a concentration of 10(-4) M at 72 hours the 5HT(1A) antagonist NAN-190 hydrobromide and the 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B) antagonist SB224289 HCl (Tocris Laboratories, Bristol, United Kingdom) induced a 20% and 78% inhibitory effect, respectively, on PC3 cell growth compared to that in controls (p < 0.0001). In PC3 cells 5-hydroxytryptanline(1A) and (1B) antagonists demonstrated apoptosis after 24 and 48 hours of incubation. Immunostaining for 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and (1B) receptors was seen in PC3 cells and prostate cancer tissue. Western blot analysis demonstrated 5-hydroxytryptamine,A and, receptor proteins with 46 and 43 kDa bands, respectively.Conclusions: In PC3 prostate cancer cells 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and to a greater extent 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B) antagonists significantly inhibit growth and induce apoptosis. To our knowledge growth inhibition caused by the 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B) antagonist SB224289 HCl is a novel finding, as is apoptosis caused by the 2 antagonists 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and (1B). This effect is most likely mediated via 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and, receptors. Therefore, our results imply that 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and in particular 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B) receptor antagonists warrant further investigations as potential anti-neoplastic agents.
