The regulation of extracellular levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine
(serotonin) (5-HT) in the striatum and ventral hippocampus was studied
using in vivo microdialysis in awake, unrestrained wild-type 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptor knockout mice.
Systemic administration of the selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor fluoxetine evoked a significant dose-dependent
increase in extracellular 5-HT in both the striatum and hippocampus at
both 2.5 mg/kg (i.p.) and 20 mg/kg (i.p.) in wild-type mice. In
5-HT1A receptor knockout mice, the response to 2.5 mg/kg
fluoxetine was significantly augmented in the striatum but not the
hippocampus, whereas the response to 20 mg/kg fluoxetine was
significantly greater in both brain regions. In 5-HT1B
receptor knockout mice, the increase of extracellular 5-HT was
augmented in the hippocampus but not the striatum at both doses of
fluoxetine. The response pattern to fluoxetine alone in 5-HT receptor
mutant mice corresponded with the effects of fluoxetine given with
either the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100635 (0.1 mg/kg
i.p.) or the 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist GR 127935 (0.056 mg/kg) in wild-type mice. These results indicate common topographical
regulation of 5-HT release in different brain regions by genetic
mutation and pharmacological challenges. The 5-HT1A
autoreceptor plays a larger role in regulating 5-HT release in the
striatum and possibly other brain regions innervated by the dorsal
raphe nucleus, whereas the role of the 5-HT1B receptor is
relatively greater in the hippocampus and possibly other brain regions
innervated by the median raphe nucleus.
