Heterologous expression of the rat 5-HT1A receptor in stably transfected GH4C1 rat pituitary cells (clone GH4ZD10) and mouse Ltk- fibroblast cells (clone LZD-7) (Albert, P.R., Zhou, Q.-Y., VanTol, H.H.M., Bunzow, J.R., and Civelli, O. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 5825- 5832) was used to characterize the cellular specificity of signal transduction by the 5-HT1A receptor. We demonstrate that the 5-HT1A receptor, acting via pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins, can change its inhibitory signaling phenotype and become a stimulatory receptor, depending on the cell type, differentiation state, or intracellular milieu of the cell in which it is expressed. When expressed in pituitary GH4ZD10 cells, activation of 5-HT1A receptors decreased both basal and vasoactive intestinal peptide-enhanced cAMP accumulation and blocked (+/-)-Bay K8644-induced influx of calcium, inhibitory responses which are typical of neurons which endogenously express this receptor. Similarly, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) also inhibited adenylyl cyclase in fibroblast LZD-7 cells, reducing the forskolin-induced enhancement of cAMP levels by 50%, but did not alter basal cAMP levels. In contrast to GH4ZD10 cells, where 5-HT had no effect on basal or thyrotropin- releasing hormone-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover, 5-HT enhanced the accumulation of inositol phosphates and induced a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i in LZD-7 cells. These dominant stimulatory actions of 5-HT, as well as the inhibitory effects, were absent in untransfected cells and displayed the potency and pharmacological specificity of the 5-HT1A receptor, indicating that the 5-HT1A subtype coupled to both inhibitory and stimulatory pathways in the fibroblast cell. The actions of 5-HT in GH and L cells were blocked by 24-h pretreatment with pertussis toxin, suggesting that inhibitory G proteins (Gi/G(o)) mediate both inhibitory and stimulatory signal transduction of the 5-HT1A receptor. However, the 5-HT-induced stimulatory pathway in fibroblasts was blocked selectively by acute (2-min) pretreatment with TPA, an activator of protein kinase C. This action of protein kinase C was potentiated by activation of protein kinase A, indicating that the expression of the stimulatory pathway of the 5-HT1A receptor in LZD-7 cells is modulated by second messengers.
