Andrzejewski K, Orłowska ME, Zaremba M, Joniec-Maciejak I, Kaczyńska K. Impact of Serotonergic 5HT 1A and 5HT 2A Receptor Activation on the Respiratory Response to Hypercapnia in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4403. [PMID: 38673988 PMCID: PMC11050428 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In Parkinson's disease (PD), along with typical motor dysfunction, abnormal breathing is present; the cause of which is not well understood. The study aimed to analyze the effects of stimulation of the serotonergic system with 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A agonists in a model of PD induced by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). To model PD, bilateral injection of 6-OHDA into both striata was performed in male Wistar rats. Respiratory disturbances in response to 7% hypercapnia (CO2 in O2) in the plethysmographic chamber before and after stimulation of the serotonergic system and the incidence of apnea were studied in awake rats 5 weeks after 6-OHDA or vehicle injection. Administration of 6-OHDA reduced the concentration of serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NA) in the striatum and the level of 5-HT in the brainstem of treated rats, which have been associated with decreased basal ventilation, impaired respiratory response to 7% CO2 and increased incidence of apnea compared to Sham-operated rats. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of the 5-HT1AR agonist 8-OH-DPAT and 5-HT2AR agonist NBOH-2C-CN increased breathing during normocapnia and hypercapnia in both groups of rats. However, it restored reactivity to hypercapnia in 6-OHDA group to the level present in Sham rats. Another 5-HT2AR agonist TCB-2 was only effective in increasing normocapnic ventilation in 6-OHDA rats. Both the serotonergic agonists 8-OH-DPAT and NBOH-2C-CN had stronger stimulatory effects on respiration in PD rats, compensating for deficits in basal ventilation and hypercapnic respiration. We conclude that serotonergic stimulation may have a positive effect on respiratory impairments that occur in PD.

Abstract
This review analyses the knowledge about the incidence of transient apnoeic spells, induced by substances which activate vagal chemically sensitive afferents. It considers the specificity and expression of appropriate receptors, and relevant research on pontomedullary circuits contributing to a cessation of respiration. Insight is gained into an excitatory drive of 5-HT1A serotonin receptors in overcoming opioid-induced respiratory inhibition.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic properties of radiotracers are crucial for successful in vivo single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging. Our goal was to determine if MDR1A-deficient animals could allow better SPECT imaging outcomes than wild-type (WT) animals for a selection of serotoninergic radioligands. Thus, we compared the performances of 123I-p-MPPI, 123I-R91150, 123I-SB207710, and 123I-ADAM radioligands, for imaging of their respective targets (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT4, and serotonin transporter [SERT]), in WT and Mdr1a knockout (KO) rats. With 123I-SB207710, virtually no SPECT signal was recorded in the brain of WT or KO animals. For 123I-p-MPPI, low nondisplaceable binding potentials (BPND, mean ± SD) were observed in WT (0.49 ± 0.25) and KO (0.89 ± 0.52) animals. For 123I-ADAM, modest imaging contrast was observed in WT (1.27 ± 0.02) and KO (1.31 ± 0.09) animals. For 123I-R91150, the BPND were significantly higher in Mdr1a KO (3.98 ± 0.65) animals compared to WT animals (1.22 ± 0.26). The pharmacokinetics of 123I-SB207710 and 123I-p-MPPI do not make them ideal tracers for preclinical SPECT neuroimaging. 123I-ADAM showed adequate brain uptake regardless of Mdr1a expression and appeared suitable for preclinical SPECT neuroimaging in both animal strains. The use of Mdr1a KO animals significantly improved the brain penetration of 123I-R91150, making this animal strain an interesting option when considering SPECT neuroimaging of 5-HT2A receptors in rat.

Abstract
The serotonergic system plays a key modulatory role in the brain and is the target for many drug treatments for brain disorders either through reuptake blockade or via interactions at the 14 subtypes of 5-HT receptors. This review provides the history and current status of radioligands used for positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging of human brain serotonin (5-HT) receptors, the 5-HT transporter (SERT), and 5-HT synthesis rate. Currently available radioligands for in vivo brain imaging of the 5-HT system in humans include antagonists for the 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(2A), and 5-HT(4) receptors, and for SERT. Here we describe the evolution of these radioligands, along with the attempts made to develop radioligands for additional serotonergic targets. We describe the properties needed for a radioligand to become successful and the main caveats. The success of a PET or SPECT radioligand can ultimately be assessed by its frequency of use, its utility in humans, and the number of research sites using it relative to its invention date, and so these aspects are also covered. In conclusion, the development of PET and SPECT radioligands to image serotonergic targets is of high interest, and successful evaluation in humans is leading to invaluable insight into normal and abnormal brain function, emphasizing the need for continued development of both SPECT and PET radioligands for human brain imaging.

Abstract
The 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, 8- OH-DPAT, increases whole body venous tone (mean circulatory filling pressure; MCFP), and attenuates metabolic acidosis in a rat model of unresuscitated hemorrhagic shock. To determine whether improved acid-base balance was associated with sympathetic activation and venous constriction, MCFP, sympathetic activity (SA), and blood gases were compared in hemorrhaged rats following administration of 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT, the arterial vasoconstrictor arginine vasopressin (AVP), or saline. To further determine whether protection of acid-base balance was dependent on splenic contraction and blood mobilization, central venous pressure (CVP), MCFP, and blood gases were determined during hemorrhage and subsequent 8-OH-DPAT-administration in rats subjected to real or sham splenectomy. Subjects were hemorrhaged to an arterial pressure of 50 mmHg for 25 min and subsequently were treated with 8-OH-DPAT (30 nmol/kg iv), AVP titrated to match the pressor effect of 8-OH-DPAT (approximately 2 ng/min iv), or infusion of normal saline. 8-OH-DPAT increased MAP, CVP, MCFP, and SA, and decreased lactate accumulation. AVP did not affect CVP or SA, but raised MCFP slightly to a level intermediate between 8-OH-DPAT- and saline-treated rats. Infusion of AVP also produced a modest protection against metabolic acidosis. Splenectomy prevented the rise in CVP, MCFP, and protection against metabolic acidosis produced by 8-OH-DPAT but had no effect on the immediate pressor response to the drug. Together, the data indicate that 8-OH-DPAT produces a pattern of cardiovascular responses consistent with a sympathetic-mediated venoconstriction that is, in part, responsible for the drug's beneficial effect on acid-base balance. Moreover, blood mobilization stimulated by the spleen is required for the beneficial effects of 8-OH-DPAT.

Abstract
The aberrant expression and function of certain receptors in tumours and other diseased tissues make them preferable targets for molecular imaging. PET and SPECT radionuclides can be used to label specific ligands with high affinity for the target receptors. The functional information obtained from imaging these receptors can be used to better understand the systems under investigation and for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review discusses some of the aspects of receptor imaging with small molecule tracers by PET and SPECT and reviews some of the tracers for the receptor imaging of tumours and brain, heart and lung disorders.

Abstract
The respiratory effects resulting from stimulation of 5-HT(1A) receptors were studied in spontaneously breathing rats that were: (i) neurally intact and subsequently bilaterally vagotomized; (ii) subjected to bilateral midcervical vagotomy followed by supranodosal vagotomy; (iii) midcervically vagotomized and treated by carotid sinus/body denervation; or (iv) subjected to infra- and supranodosal vagotomy followed by pharmacological blockade of 5-HT(1A) receptors. An intravenous bolus of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 10 microg kg(-1)) evoked increases in both breathing rate and tidal volume. After section of the midcervical and supranodosal vagi, 8-OH-DPAT challenge still increased the respiratory rate and tidal volume. Carotid sinus/body denervation did not reduce the augmentation of the tidal volume, but prevented the increase in breathing rate. Blockade of 5-HT(1A) receptors with intravenous doses of 1-(2-metoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido) butyl] piperazine (NAN 190; 20 microg kg(-1)) abolished all respiratory effects of 8-OH-DPAT challenge. In all the neural states, 8-OH-DPAT evoked a significant fall in mean arterial blood pressure. Pretreatment with NAN 190 reduced baseline values of mean arterial pressure and prevented 8-OH-DPAT-induced hypotension. These results indicate that: (i) 8-OH-DPAT-evoked activation of 5-HT(1A) receptors increases breathing rate and tidal volume, which persists after section of the lung vagi and the nodose ganglia, but only the increase in breathing rate was abolished by carotid sinus/body denervation; and (ii) 8-OH-DPAT hyperventilatory and hypotensive responses result from the excitation of presumed 5-HT(1A) carotid receptors and the central 5-HT(1A)-expressing neurones.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and its various receptors are involved in numerous CNS functions and psychiatric disorders. 5-HT(1A), the best-characterized subtype of currently known 5-HT receptors, is tightly implicated in the pathogenesis of depression, anxiety, epilepsy and eating disorders. It thus represents an important target for drug therapy. Specific radioligands and positron emission tomography (PET) allow for a quantitative imaging of brain 5-HT(1A) receptor distribution in living animals and humans. Recently, the selective 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist, MPPF, has been successfully labeled with [(18)F]fluorine ([(18)F]MPPF), and an increasing number of academic and industry centres have used this radiotracer in preclinical and clinical studies. After a brief account of some of the structural, distributional and electrophysiological characteristics of brain 5-HT(1A) receptors, this review focuses on studies conducted with [(18)F]MPPF, with emphasis on preclinical results illustrating the actual and potential value of this PET radioligand for clinical research and drug development.

Abstract
[(18)F]MPPF is a selective and reversible antagonist to the serotonin-1A (5-HT(1A)) receptor. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the binding of [(18)F]MPPF is sensitive to increases in 5-HT levels. We used the 5-HT releasing agent and reuptake inhibitor fenfluramine (FEN) to increase the concentration of 5-HT. [(18)F]MPPF binding was assessed using positron emission tomography (PET) in conscious monkeys. Possible effects of blood flow on ligand binding were excluded by using a bolus-infusion paradigm. Control scans were obtained to assess the state of ligand equilibrium. FEN (5 or 10 mg/kg, i.v.) was administered between 90 and 130 min after the start of the [(18)F]MPPF infusion. The binding potential (BP) was calculated for an early interval (30 min preceding FEN administration) and late interval (20-50 min after administration of FEN). Microdialyses results showed a 20- and 35-fold increase in extracellular 5-HT levels in the prefrontal cortex after injection of FEN at a dose of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively. However, despite these large increases in 5-HT levels, no differences in BP were found between the control and FEN scans. These results may imply that the majority of 5-HT(1A) receptors is in the low affinity state in the living brain.

Abstract
Successful development of iodinated ligands for various neurotransmitter receptors prompted us to explore the feasability of having iodinated ligands to target amyloid plaques of Alzheimer's disease. Several potential iodinated tracers based on various chemical backbone structures have been successfully prepared and evaluated toward this purpose. High binding affinities for Abeta aggregates were consistently observed for those ligands. However, the desirable in vivo properties were generally missing in the majority of those iodinated ligands. Only ligands with the promising in vitro and in vivo characteristics such as IMPY will likely warrant their success to be potential imaging agents mapping amyloid plaques in living human brain.

Abstract
Central administration of serotonergic 5-HT1A receptor agonists delays the reflex sympatholytic response to severe hemorrhage in conscious rats. To determine the region where 5-HT1A receptor agonists act to mediate this response, recovery of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) was compared in hemorrhaged rats after injection of the selective 5-HT1A agonist, (+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), in various regions of the cerebroventricular system or the systemic circulation. Three minutes after injection of 8-OH-DPAT (48 nmol/kg), MAP and RSNA were higher in hemorrhaged rats given drug in the fourth ventricle (94 +/- 5 mmHg, 82 +/- 18% of baseline) or the systemic circulation (90 +/- 4 mmHg, 113 +/- 15% of baseline) than in rats given drug in the Aqueduct of Sylvius (63 +/- 4 mmHg, 27 +/- 11% of baseline), the lateral ventricle (42 +/- 3 mmHg, -8 +/- 18% of baseline), or in rats given saline in various brain regions (47 +/- 5 mmHg, -42 +/- 10% of baseline). A lower-dose injection of 8-OH-DPAT (10 nmol/kg) also accelerated the recovery of MAP and RSNA in hemorrhaged rats when given in the fourth ventricle (94 +/- 26 mmHg, 72 +/- 33% of baseline 3 min after injection) but not the systemic circulation (46 +/- 4 mmHg, -25 +/- 30% of baseline). These data indicate that 8-OH-DPAT acts on receptors in the hindbrain to reverse the sympatholytic response to hemorrhage in conscious rats.

Abstract
Tc(III) and Re(III) complexes [M(NS(3))(CNR)] (M = Re, 99mTc, NS(3) = 2,2',2"-nitrilotris(ethanethiol), CNR = functionalized isocyanide bearing a derivative of WAY 100635) have been synthesized and characterized. Re was used as Tc surrogate for chemical characterization and in vitro receptor-binding studies. For two representatives subnanomolar affinities for the 5-HT(1A) as well as for the alpha1-adrenergic receptor were reached. Biodistribution studies in rats of the 99mTc complexes showed brain uptakes between 0.3 and 0.5% ID/organ (5 min p.i.). In vitro autoradiography of one 99mTc representative in sections of post mortem human brain indicate its accumulation in 5-HT(1A) receptor-rich brain regions. However, addition of the specific 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT as well as the alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin could not substantially block this tracer accumulation. A preliminary SPET study in a monkey showed negligible brain uptake.

Abstract
[Carbonyl-(11)C]WAY-100635 ([(11)C]WAY) is an established radioligand for the study of brain serotonin(1A) (5-HT(1A)) receptors in living animals and humans with positron emission tomography (PET). There is a recognised need to develop halogenated ligands for 5-HT(1A) receptors, either for labelling with longer-lived fluorine-18 for more widespread application with PET or with iodine-123 for application with single photon emission tomography (SPET). Here we used autoradiography and PET to assess two new halogenated analogues of WAY, namely 6BPWAY and 6FPWAY [N-(2-(1-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazinyl)ethyl))-N-(2-(6-bromo-/fluoro-pyridinyl))cyclohexanecarboxamide] as prospective radioligands, initially using carbon-11 as the radiolabel. Labelling of 6BPWAY and 6FPWAY with carbon-11 was accomplished by acylation of the corresponding secondary amine precursors with [carbonyl-(11)C]cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride. After incubation of human brain crysections with [(11)C]6BPWAY or [(11)C]6FPWAY, the highest accumulation of radioactivity was observed in cortical areas and the hippocampal formation. Both radioligands had high nonspecific binding. There was a rapid accumulation of radioactivity in the monkey brain after intravenous injection of [(11)C]6BPWAY and [(11)C]6FPWAY. High accumulation of radioactivity was observed in the frontal and temporal cortex and the raphe nuclei, areas known to contain a high density of 5-HT(1A) receptors. The ratios of radioactivity in receptor-rich temporal cortex to that in receptor-poor cerebellum at peak equilibrium were 1.9 (at 10 min) and 3.0 at (at 20 min) for [(11)C]6BPWAY and [(11)C]6FPWAY, respectively. In pretreatment experiments with high doses of unlabelled WAY, the level of radioactivity in the frontal and temporal cortex and the raphe nuclei was reduced to the same level as in the cerebellum. Radioactive metabolites of [(11)C]6FPWAY appeared at a rate similar to those for [(11)C]WAY, with 17% of the radioactivity in plasma represented by unchanged radioligand after 40 min. Radioactive metabolites of [(11)C]6BPWAY appeared much more slowly. At 40 min after injection 45% of the radioactivity in plasma still represented unchanged radioligand. The results indicate that 6-pyridinyl radiohalogented analogues of WAY are new leads to radioligands for PET or SPET.

Abstract
[Carbonyl-(11)C]WAY-100635 (WAY) has proved to be a very useful radioligand for the imaging of brain 5-HT(1A) receptors in human brain in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET). WAY is now being applied widely for clinical research and drug development. However, WAY is rapidly cleared from plasma and is also rapidly metabolised. A comparable radioligand, with a higher and more sustained delivery to brain, is desirable since these properties might lead to better biomathematical modelling of acquired PET data. There are also needs for other types of 5-HT(1A) receptor radioligands, for example, ligands sensitive to elevated serotonin levels, ligands labelled with longer-lived fluorine-18 for distribution to "satellite" PET centres, and ligands labelled with iodine-123 for single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) imaging. Here we describe our progress toward these aims through the exploration of WAY analogues, including the development of [carbonyl-(11)C]desmethyl-WAY (DWAY) as a promising, more brain-penetrant radioligand for PET imaging of human 5-HT(1A) receptors, and (pyridinyl-6-halo)-analogues as promising leads for the development of radiohalogenated ligands.

Abstract
The in vivo and ex vivo distributions and the pharmacological profile of the fluorinated phenylpiperazine derivative p-[(18)F]MPPF (4-(2'-methoxyphenyl)-1-[2'-(N-2"-pyridinyl)-p-fluorobenzamido]-et hyl piperazine) were evaluated in the cat brain as a potential selective antagonist for 5-HT(1A) receptors using PET. After intravenous injection of p-[(18)F]MPPF in cats, there was a rapid accumulation of radioactivity in the brain, with 4% of the total radioactivity injected present in the brain at 4 minutes postinjection. The highest uptakes of radioactivity were observed in the hippocampus and cingulate cortex, regions known to be rich in 5-HT(1A) receptors, whereas lower levels of radioactivity were observed in the cerebellum. The mean ratio of radioactivity in the hippocampus to the cerebellum was 4.29 (SD = 0.21; n = 5) from 40 to 90 minutes postinjection of p-[(18)F]MPPF. The corresponding ratio for the cingulate cortex was 3.01 (SD = 0.16; n = 5). Specific binding in the hippocampus and the cingulate cortex was markedly reduced following injection of unlabeled WAY-100635 and pindolol but was unaffected by treatment with alpha1, 5-HT(2), or reuptake inhibitor agents indicating reversibility and selectivity of p-[(18)F]MPPF binding to 5-HT(1A) receptors. Ex vivo autoradiographic study with p-[(18)F]MPPF in cat brain sections showed labeling of areas rich in 5-HT(1A) receptors with a regional brain distribution that closely matched that observed using PET. These results indicate that p-[(18)F]MPPF may be a useful candidate for noninvasive PET imaging of 5-HT(1A) receptors in the living human brain.

Abstract
No-carrier-added 4-[18F]fluoro-N-[2-[1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1 piperazinyl]ethyl-N-2-pyridinyl-benzamide (p-[18F]MPPF) was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding nitro compound in the presence of Kryptofix 222 and K2CO3 by microwave heating (3 min, 500 W) using a remotely controlled radiosynthesis. Baseline separation of p-[18F]MPPF from the nitro derivative was performed on a semipreparative HPLC C18 column. After Sep-Pak formulation, the radiopharmaceutical was obtained with a radiochemical yield of 25% (EOS) in about 70 min. Specific radioactivity averaged between 1-5 Ci/micromol EOS. Labelling of the ortho and meta derivatives was also attempted. Brain uptake of p-[18F]MPPF was studied with PET on fluothane-anesthetized cats. Following intravenous injection of p-[18F]MPPF, high accumulation of radioactivity was observed in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Low levels of radioactivity were observed in cerebellum. At 30 min, the mean hippocampus/cerebellum and cortex/cerebellum ratios were 5 and 3.8, respectively. The accumulation of the tracer was blocked by prior administration of reference WAY-100635, demonstrating the specificity of the ligand.

Abstract
Technetium-99m is the most commonly used radionuclide in routine nuclear medicine imaging procedures. Development of 99mTc-labeled receptor-specific imaging agents for studying the central nervous system is potentially useful for evaluation of brain function in normal and disease states. A novel 99mTc-labeled tropane derivative, [99mTc]TRODAT-1, which is useful as a potential CNS dopamine transporter imaging agent, was evaluated and characterized. After i. v. injection into rats, [99mTc]TRODAT-1 displayed specific brain uptake in the rat striatal region (striatum-cerebellum/cerebellum ratio 1.8 at 60 min), where dopamine neurons are concentrated. The specific striatal uptake could be blocked by pretreating rats with a dose of competing dopamine transporter ligand, beta-CIT (or RTI-55, i.v., 1 mg/kg). However, the specific striatal uptake of [99mTc]TRODAT-1 was not affected by co-injection of excess free ligand (TRODAT-1, up to 200 microg per rat) or by pretreating the rats with haloperidol (i.v., 1 mg/kg). The specific uptake in striatal regions of rats that had prior 6-hydroxydopamine lesion in the substantia nigra area showed a dramatic reduction. The radioactive material recovered from the rat striatal homogenates at 60 min after i.v. injection of [99mTc]TRODAT-1 showed primarily the original compound (>95%), a good indication of in vivo stability in brain tissue. Similar and comparable organ distribution patterns and brain regional uptakes of [99mTc]TRODAT-1 were obtained for male and female rats. Ex vivo autoradiography results of rat brain sections further confirmed the high uptake and retention of [99mTc]TRODAT-1 in the striatal region. In vitro binding studies measuring the affinity to dopamine transporters for the free ligand, TRODAT-1, and a nonradioactive rhenium derivative, Re-TRODAT-1, showed Ki values of 9.7 nM and 14.1 nM, respectively. Behavioral studies in rats using the free ligand, TRODAT-1 and Re-TRODAT-1 indicated that, unlike other tropane derivatives, they displayed no effect on locomotor activity, suggesting low toxicity. These results strongly support the conclusions that this novel 99mTc radioligand binds selectively to dopamine transporters in the brain and that is is potentially useful for in vivo assessment of the loss of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
