Unraveling new roles for serotonin receptor 2B in development: key findings from Xenopus

Abstract: The serotonin receptor 5-HT2B has been shown to be critically important during embryogenesis as the knockout of this gene in mice causes heart defects and embryonic lethality that impairs further analyses on other embryonic cell and tissue types. In the present review, we highlight how the use of Xenopus laevis, an alternative vertebrate model suitable for gene loss and gain of function analyses, has contributed to our understanding of the role of 5-HT2B signaling during development. In vivo studies showed tha… Show more

“…A missense mutation within RX3 was predicted to have an effect on phenotype (polyphen2 analysis Thr279Ile, naïve Bayes posterior probability 0.846, sensitivity = 0.83, specificity = 0.93). Additionally, the serotonin receptor, 5-HT2B , a neurotransmitter with effects on both behaviour and retinal development 51,52 , contains two segregating missense mutations. The homeolog of the pericentromeric region on Omy12 has also been implicated in migratory phenotype 53,54 , supporting a role for these genes and that differences in both the phenotype and visual signalling can also be generated independently of the Omy05 rearrangement via parallel selection on gene duplicates.…”

“…Other polymorphisms, on the other hand, were shown to reduce the response of several SRIs, e.g., HTR1A rs6295 in the treatment of fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and citalopram [138,139,140,141] Furthermore, an increase in side effects of paroxetine was reported among patients with HTR2A rs6313 , HTR3B rs1176744 and HTR3B rs3831455 [132,142,143]. Unlike other genes, there are limited data on the polymorphisms of the gene encoding for the 5-HT2B receptor, which is more important, in this regard, in the developmental stage of the foetal heart [118,119,144]. …”

“…Information on involvement of neurotransmitters in pattern formation would not only identify novel components of embryogenesis, but also give important insight into potential new endpoints for teratogenic (embryotoxic) effects of widespread pharmaceuticals (Alwan et al 2007;Louik et al 2007;Colvin et al 2011;Myles et al 2013;Hurault-Delarue et al 2014;Yazdy et al 2014). To begin to identify possible patterning roles for other neurotransmitter families, this study took advantage of compounds developed for neuropharmacological research, and an exploratory drug screen was conducted in the Xenopus laevis embryo, a popular vertebrate model for the study of well-conserved developmental mechanisms (Kaltenbrun et al 2011;King et al 2012;Ori et al 2013;Pratt & Khakhalin, 2013;Schmitt et al 2014), as well as for studies of developmental toxicology (Sunderman et al 1991(Sunderman et al , 1992Fort et al 1992;Mouche et al 2011;Leconte & Mouche, 2013). This preliminary screen represents the first tier of an inverse drug screen, of the variety described by (Adams & Levin, 2006), in which drugs are tested in a hierarchical manner according to target specificity, to rapidly bypass large families with no apparent roles and progressively home in on targets with interesting functions.…”
