5-HT receptor probe (/sup 3/H)8-OH-DPAT labels the 5-HT transporter in human platelets
The present study characterizes a serotonin (5-HT) binding site on human platelet membranes, using (/sup 3/H)8-OH-DPAT as the radioligand. (/sup 3/H)8-OH-DPAT binds specifically and saturably to a site on human platelet membranes with an average K/sub D/ of 43 nM and B/sub max/ of 1078 fmol/mg protein. Determinations of IC/sub 50/ values for various serotonergic characterizing agents in platelets for displacement of (/sup 3/H)8-OH-DPAT were performed. The pharmacological inhibitory profile of the platelet 8-OH-DPAT site is not consistent with profiles reported for brain. 8-OH-DPAT does not inhibit (/sup 3/H) imipramine binding, however, it does inhibit (/sup 3/H)5-HT uptake in human platelets near 5-HT's K/sub m/ value (IC/sub 50/ = 2-4 ..mu..M). These results suggest that the human platelet site labelled by (/sub 3/H)8-OH-DPAT is pharmocologically different from the neuronal site and probably is a component of the 5-HT transporter. 32 references, 1 figure, 4 tables.
