Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] is involved in both motor and sensory functions in hollow organs, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the involvement of 5-HT in visceral sensation of the urinary bladder remains unknown. Because distention-induced ATP release from the urothelium plays an essential role in visceral sensation of the urinary bladder, we investigated the regulation of urothelial ATP release by the 5-HT signaling system. RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analyses of the urothelium revealed specific expression of 5-HT1D and 5-HT4 receptors. The addition of 5-HT did not affect urothelial ATP release without bladder distention, but it significantly reduced distention-induced ATP release by physiological pressure during urine storage (5 cmH(2)O). The inhibitory effect of 5-HT on distention-elicited ATP release was blocked by preincubation with the 5-HT1B/1D antagonist GR-127935 but not by the 5-HT4 antagonist SB-204070. mRNA encoding tryptophan hydroxylase 1 was detected in the urinary bladder by nested RT-PCR amplification, and L-tryptophan or the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram also inhibited ATP release, indicating that 5-HT is endogenously synthesized and released in the urinary bladder. The addition of GR-127935 significantly enhanced the distention-elicited ATP release 40 min after distention, whereas SB-204070 reduced the amount of ATP release 20 min after distention. These data suggest that 5-HT4 facilitates the distention-induced ATP release at an earlier stage, whereas 5-HT1D inhibits ATP release at a later stage. The net inhibitory effect of 5-HT indicates that the action of 5-HT on the urothelium is mediated predominantly by 5-HT1D.
