The function of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors, especially the 5-HT4 receptor, in the urinary bladder were examined in preparations isolated from the guinea pig by in vitro receptor autoradiography and determinations of mechanical activity and acetylcholine (ACh) release. Specific [125I]SB207710 binding sites were detected evenly throughout the urinary bladder. 5-HT (3 x 10(-8)-10(-4) M) caused contractions of strips of the urinary bladder, in a concentration dependent manner. Ketanserin antagonized the 5-HT-induced contractions, while granisetron and SB204070 antagonized the contractions induced by high concentrations of 5-HT. Atropine inhibited the contractions induced by high concentrations of 5-HT. Ketanserin prevented the 5-HT-induced contractions in the presence of atropine, but granisetron and SB204070 did not affect the contractions under such a condition. 5-HT enhanced the electrically-stimulated (5 Hz, 0.5 ms) outflow of [3H]acetylcholine from strips preloaded with [3H]choline, and the enhancement was antagonized by granisetron and SB204070. Thus, the contractile response to 5-HT was mediated by activations of 5-HT2, 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors. The 5-HT2 receptor may be a property of high affinity to 5-HT and located on the smooth muscle cells. The 5-HT4 as well as 5-HT3 receptor may be a property of low affinity to 5-HT and located on the cholinergic neurons.
