Human and rat hepatic tissue express many serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes, such as 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT7 receptors, which mediate diverse effects. 5-HT is known to regulate several key aspects of liver biology including hepatic blood flow, innervations and wound healing. 5-HT is also known to enhance net glucose uptake during glucose infusion in fasted dogs, but little is known about the ability of 5-HT to control hepatic glucose metabolism, especially glycolysis. This study addresses the potential of 5-HT to regulate PFK activity and the mechanisms related to the enzyme activity. Based on our results, we are the first to provide evidence that 5-HT up-regulates PFK in mouse hepatic tissue. Activation of the enzyme occurs through the 5-HT2A receptor and phospholipase C (PLC), resulting in PFK intracellular redistribution and favoring PFK association to the cytoskeletal f-actin-enriched fractions. Interestingly, 5-HT and insulin act in a synergistic manner, likely because of the ability of insulin to increase fructose-2,6-bisphosphate because the presence of this PFK allosteric regulator enhances the 5-HT effect on the enzyme activity. Together, these data demonstrate the ability of 5-HT to control hepatic glycolysis and present clues about the mechanisms involved in these processes, which may be important in understanding the action of 5-HT during the hepatic wound healing process.
