Phylogenetic analyses of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptors in Metazoa. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0281507. [PMID: 36857360 PMCID: PMC9977066 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The 5-hydroxytrptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor is a member of the 'Cys-loop' family and the only pentameric ligand gated ion channel among the serotonin receptors. 5-HT3 receptors play an important role in controlling growth, development, and behaviour in animals. Several 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are used to treat diseases (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and emesis). Humans express five different subunits (A-E) enabling a variety of heteromeric receptors to form but all contain 5HT3A subunits. However, the information available about the 5-HT3 receptor subunit occurrence among the metazoan lineages is minimal. In the present article we searched for 5-HT3 receptor subunit homologs from different phyla in Metazoa. We identified more than 1000 5-HT3 receptor subunits in Metazoa in different phyla and undertook simultaneous phylogenetic analysis of 526 5HT3A, 358 5HT3B, 239 5HT3C, 70 5HT3D, and 173 5HT3E sequences. 5-HT3 receptor subunits were present in species belonging to 11 phyla: Annelida, Arthropoda, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Nematoda, Orthonectida, Platyhelminthes, Rotifera and Tardigrada. All subunits were most often identified in Chordata phylum which was strongly represented in searches. Using multiple sequence alignment, we investigated variations in the ligand binding region of the 5HT3A subunit protein sequences in the metazoan lineage. Several critical amino acid residues important for ligand binding (common structural features) are commonly present in species from Nematoda and Platyhelminth gut parasites through to Chordata. Collectively, this better understanding of the 5-HT3 receptor evolutionary patterns raises possibilities of future pharmacological challenges facing Metazoa including effects on parasitic and other species in ecosystems that contain 5-HT3 receptor ligands.

Protective effect of mirtazapine against acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats: Role of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 101:108174. [PMID: 34601335 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.108174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation on the innermost lining of the colon and rectum. Mirtazapine (MRT) is a well-known antidepressant that was proven to have anti-inflammatory activity; however, to date, its role has not been investigated in UC. The current study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of MRT in UC. MAIN METHOD Acetic acid (AA) was used for UC induction, and sulfasalazine (SLZ) was used as a positive control. Rats were divided into five equal groups; as follows; normal control, AA, SLZ (received SLZ in a dose of 250 mg/kg for 14 days), MRT10 (received MRT in a dose of 10 mg/kg/day for 14 days), and MRT30 (received MRT in a dose of 30 mg/kg/day for 14 days) groups. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations together with oxidative stress parameters evaluation were done. NOD-like receptors-3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, TNF-α, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) expression together with interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels were examined. KEY FINDING MRT, in a dose-dependent manner, prevented the macroscopic and microscopic colonic damage and corrected the oxidative stress induced by AA. Moreover, MRT decreased the colonic tissue NLRP3 inflammasome, caspase-1, NF-κB, TNF-α expressions, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels that were elevated in colonic tissue by the AA. SIGNIFICANCE MRT has a dose-dependent protective effect against UC that was mediated mainly by its anti-inflammatory activity with modulation of NLRP3/caspase-1 inflammatory pathway.

Abstract
Managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has attracted international attention because single-agent therapy rarely relieves bothersome symptoms for all patients. The Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE) published the first edition of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for IBS in 2015. Much more evidence has accumulated since then, and new pharmacological agents and non-pharmacological methods have been developed. Here, we report the second edition of the JSGE-IBS guidelines comprising 41 questions including 12 background questions on epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic criteria, 26 clinical questions on diagnosis and treatment, and 3 questions on future research. For each question, statements with or without recommendations and/or evidence level are given and updated diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms are provided based on new evidence. Algorithms for diagnosis are requisite for patients with chronic abdominal pain or associated symptoms and/or abnormal bowel movement. Colonoscopy is indicated for patients with one or more alarm symptoms/signs, risk factors, and/or abnormal routine examination results. The diagnosis is based on the Rome IV criteria. Step 1 therapy consists of diet therapy, behavioral modification, and gut-targeted pharmacotherapy for 4 weeks. For non-responders, management proceeds to step 2 therapy, which includes a combination of different mechanistic gut-targeted agents and/or psychopharmacological agents and basic psychotherapy for 4 weeks. Step 3 therapy is for non-responders to step 2 and comprises a combination of gut-targeted pharmacotherapy, psychopharmacological treatments, and/or specific psychotherapy. These updated JSGE-IBS guidelines present best practice strategies for IBS patients in Japan and we believe these core strategies can be useful for IBS diagnosis and treatment globally.

Abstract
Mental health is a significant yet overlooked aspect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient care, with challenges in determining optimal treatments and psychological health resources. The most common psychological conditions in patients with IBD are anxiety and depression. The increased prevalence of these mental disorders appeals to mental screening of each person diagnosed with IBD at initial consultation. There are simple and clinically viable methods available to screen for mental problems. Psychological methods may be as or even more significant as a therapeutic modality. Herein we discuss the three major areas of psychological co-morbidity in IBD: (1) the prevalence and risk factors associated with anxiety and depression disorders for patients with IBD; (2) diagnosis of psychological disorders for patients with IBD; (3) treatment with patients with IBD and mental disorders. The gastroenterologists are encouraged to screen and treat these patients with IBD and mental disorders, which may improve outcomes.
