In human adrenal, serotonin (5-HT), produced by mast cells located in zona glomerulosa, stimulates production of corticosteroids through a paracrine mechanism involving the 5-HT receptor type 4 (5-HT4). The aim of the present study was to investigate the transduction mechanisms associated with activation of 5-HT4 receptors in human adrenocortical cells. Our results show that 5-HT4 receptors are present in the outer adrenal cortex, both in glomerulosa and fasciculata zonae. In the zona glomerulosa. 5-HT4 receptor was detected both in immunopositive and immunonegative cells for 11 beta-hydroxylase, an enzyme involved in cortisol synthesis. The data demonstrate that 5-HT4 receptors are positively coupled to adenylyl cyclases and cAMP-dependent protein kinases (PICA). The activation of the cAMP-PICA pathway is associated with calcium influx through T-type calcium channels. Both the adenylyl cyclase/PKA pathway and the calcium influx are involved in 5-HT-induced cortisol secretion. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
