Abstract

The aim of the work was to study the mechanism of vasodilatation in mediated by 5HT1B- and 5HT2B-receptors of serotonin. The experiments were performed on isolated rat aorta and on cultured endothelial cells (EC) from human pulmonary vein and smooth muscle cells (SMC) from rat aorta. CGS12066B and BW723C were used for the activation of 5HT1B- and 5HT2B-receptors respectively. It was demonstrated that CGS12066B and BW723C induced elevation of free cytoplasmic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in EC. These effects ofCGS12066B and BW723C were observed at concentrations at which they dilate aorta. It is concluded that 5HT1B- and 5HT2B-receptors cause vasodilation according endothelium-dependent mechanism based on elevation of [Ca2+]cyt in EC.
