Activation by serotonin of starfish eggs expressing the rat serotonin 1c receptor.
Starfish oocytes were injected with mRNA for the serotonin 1c receptor or with rat brain poly A+ mRNA, incubated to allow expression of the membrane protein, then matured to eggs by addition of 1-methyladenine. Applying serotonin to these eggs caused cortical granule exocytosis like that occurring at fertilization. Because the serotonin 1c receptor specifically activates a G-protein, these resu...
متن کاملThe Activation of Starfish Eggs by Acids
1. Exposure of unfertilized starfish eggs to dilute solutions of weak acids (fatty acids, benzoic and carbonic acids) in isotonic balanced salt solution causes complete activation with the proper durations of exposure. For each acid the rate of activation (reciprocal of optimum duration) varies with concentration and temperature; at a given temperature and within a considerable range of concent...

conclusions the application of 5-ht1a, 5-ht2, 5-ht3, 5-ht4, 5-ht6 and 5-ht7 receptor antagonists, applied at concentrations lower than 1.0 µm did not modify the efs-induced contraction and relaxation responses, whichsuggests the unlikely involvement of endogenous 5-ht in mediating responses to efs in the described test conditions. materials and methods segments taken from the rat duodenum, jeju...
متن کاملInduction of DNA synthesis in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes by serotonin: possible involvement of serotonin S2 receptor.
The involvement of serotonin and its receptor subtype in the induction of hepatocyte DNA synthesis was investigated in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Serotonin caused a dose-dependent increase in DNA synthesis in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin, as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation. The serotonin S2 receptor anta...
