Adaptive changes in serotonin2A (5-HT2A) receptor signaling are associated with the clinical response to a number of psychiatric drugs including atypical antipsychotics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The present study examined possible mechanisms of agonist-induced desensitization of 5-HT2Areceptors in rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) after 4 and 7 days of treatment with 1mg/kg (−)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane HCl (DOI). The magnitude of 5-HT2Areceptor-mediated oxytocin release decreased 78% after 4 days and 61% after 7 days of DOI treatment. Similarly, the magnitude of ACTH release following 1mg/kg DOI decreased by 31% after 4 days and 38% after 7 days of DOI treatment. Treatment with DOI for either 4 or 7 days caused a significant decrease (by approximately 50%) in the high-affinity 5-HT2Areceptor binding as measured by125I-DOI binding compared to saline-treated control rats. In contrast, western blot analysis demonstrated a significant increase in 5-HT2Areceptor protein levels with 4 or 7 days of DOI treatment to 167% and 191% of control levels, respectively. Real time quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed a small but nonsignificant increase in the levels of 5-HT2AmRNA following treatment with DOI for 4 or 7 days. Taken together, the 5-HT2Areceptor-stimulated hormone responses, agonist binding data and western blot data suggest that although agonist treatment increases the levels of 5-HT2Areceptor protein in the cell membrane, there is a reduction in the population of 5-HT2Areceptors capable of high-affinity binding and mediating a functional response.
