The serotonin receptor 5-HT2A modulates lifespan and protein feeding in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging, 2022
The conserved neurotransmitter serotonin has been shown to be an important modulator of lifespan in specific nutritional contexts; however, it remained unclear how serotonin signaling influences lifespan under normal conditions.

Allosteric activation of the glutamate receptor mGlu2 by the serotonin receptor 5-HT2A [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) dimers and higher-order oligomers are the subject of intense debates. The complexes formed between two or more different GPCRs enable the cell to integrate several signals.

Serotonin 2a Receptor and serotonin 1a receptor interact within the medial prefrontal cortex during recognition memory in mice [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Episodic memory, can be defined as the memory for unique events. The serotonergic system one of the main neuromodulatory systems in the brain appears to play a role in it.

Glia-to-glia serotonin signaling directs MMP-dependent infiltration for experience-dependent synapse pruning. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology
Synapse connectivity is optimized in response to environmental input in critical periods, characterized by experience-dependent, temporally-restricted, and transiently-reversible synapse pruning by glial phagocytes.

Human Cortical Serotonin 2A Receptor Occupancy by Psilocybin Measured Using [11C]MDL 100,907 Dynamic PET and a Resting-State fMRI-Based Brain Parcellation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroergonomics, 2022
Psilocybin (a serotonin 2A, or 5-HT2A, receptor agonist) has shown preliminary efficacy as a treatment for mood and substance use disorders. The current report utilized positron emission tomography (PET) with the selective 5-HT2A receptor inverse agonist

The antidepressant 5-HT2A receptor antagonists pizotifen and cyproheptadine inhibit serotonin-enhanced platelet function. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
There is considerable interest in defining new agents or targets for antithrombotic purposes. The 5-HT2A receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on many cell types, and a known therapeutic target for many disease states.

PACAP–PAC1 Signaling Regulates Serotonin 2A Receptor Internalization

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Mice lacking pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) display psychomotor abnormalities, most of which are ameliorated by atypical antipsychotics with serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptor (5-HT2A) antagonism. Heterozygous Pacap mutant mice show

Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor activity mediates adipocyte differentiation through control of adipogenic gene expression

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Serotonin 5-HT2 receptors are expressed in many tissues and play important roles in biological processes. Although the 5-HT2A receptor is primarily known for its role in central nervous system, it is also expressed in peripheral tissues.

Understanding Serotonin 5-HT2A Receptors-regulated cellular and molecular Mechanisms of Chronic Kidney Diseases

open access: yesRenal Replacement Therapy, 2020
Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are an economic burden and occur worldwide in all age groups, and the advancement of kidney disease at some point leads to deregulate or influence the function of other body organs and to find a specific target to halt the ...
