The actions of 5-hydroxtryptamine (5-HT)1A and 5-HT4 receptor agonists on fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in myenteric neurons of guinea pig ileum were studied in vitro. Intracellular electrophysiological methods were used to record EPSPs. 5-HT (0.1 microM), 5-carboxamidotryptamine (0.001-0.1 microM), 8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin (0.003-0.3 microM), and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT; 0.3 microM) inhibited EPSPs. Agonist inhibition of EPSPs was blocked by the 5-HT1A receptor antagonists, spiperone and NAN-190. In the presence of NAN-190 (0.3 microM), 5-HT (0.001-0.1 microM) increased EPSP amplitude. 5-MeOT (0.001-0.1 microM), renzapride (0.01-0.3 microM), cisapride (0.01-1 microM), and BIMU 8 (0.003-0.1 microM) increased EPSP amplitude but did not change the membrane potential of any neuron. EPSP potentiation induced by each agonist was blocked by the 5-HT3/5-HT4 receptor antagonist, tropisetron (1 microM), but not by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron (1 microM). Potentiation of fast EPSPs by 5-HT (0.1 microM) desensitized, whereas renzapride (0.1 microM) responses did not. Desensitization induced by BIMU 8 was variable. These data indicate that enteric 5-HT1A and 5-HT4 receptors function to inhibit and facilitate transmitter release, respectively. 5-HT4-mediated facilitation of ganglionic neurotransmission could contribute to the prokinetic effects of cisapride and renzapride.
