5-HT2B receptor
5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2B) also known as serotonin receptor 2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR2B gene.[5][6] 5-HT2B is a member of the 5-HT2 receptor family that binds the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT).
Tissue distribution and function
The 5-HT2 receptors (of which the 5-HT2B receptor is a subtype) mediate many of the central and peripheral physiologic functions of serotonin. Cardiovascular effects include contraction of blood vessels and shape changes in platelets; central nervous system effects include neuronal sensitization to tactile stimuli and mediation of some of the effects of hallucinogenic substituted amphetamines. The 5-HT2B receptor is highly expressed in the liver and kidney, with lower levels of expression being seen in the cerebral cortex, whole brain, pancreas, and spleen.[7]
The 5-HT2B receptor subtype is involved in:
- CNS: presynaptic inhibition, behavioural effects[8]
- Vascular: pulmonary vasoconstriction[9]
- Cardiac: The 5-HT2B receptor regulates cardiac structure and functions as demonstrated by the abnormal cardiac development observed in 5-HT2B receptor null mice.[10] The 5-HT2B receptor stimulation can also lead to pathological proliferation of cardiac valve fibroblasts,[11] which with chronic overstimulation of 5-HT2B can lead to a severe valvulopathy. Moreover, 5-HT2B receptors were recently shown to be overexpressed in human failing heart and antagonists of 5-HT2B receptors were uncovered to prevent both angiotensin II or beta-adrenergic agonist-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy in mouse.[12][13][14]
- Serotonin transporter: 5-HT2B receptors regulate serotonin release via the serotonin transporter, and are important both to normal physiological regulation of serotonin levels in blood plasma,[15] and with the abnormal acute serotonin release produced by drugs such as MDMA.[8] Surprisingly however 5-HT2B receptor activation appears to be protective against the development of serotonin syndrome following elevated extracellular serotonin levels,[16] despite its role in modulating serotonin release.
Clinical significance
5-HT2B receptors have also been strongly implicated in drug-induced valvular heart disease.[17][18][19] In this context, it is generally considered to be an antitarget.
The structure of the 5-HT2B receptor was resolved in a complex with the valvulopathogenic drug ergotamine.[20]
Ligands
As of 2009, few highly selective 5-HT2B receptor ligands have been discovered, although numerous potent non-selective compounds are known, particularly agents with concomitant 5-HT2C binding. Research in this area has been limited due to the cardiotoxicity of 5-HT2B agonists, and the lack of clear therapeutic application for 5-HT2B antagonists, but there is still a need for selective ligands for scientific research.[21]

Possible applications
5-HT2B antagonists have previously been proposed as treatment for migraine headaches, and RS-127,445 was trialled in humans up to Phase I for this indication, but development was not continued.[41] More recent research has focused on possible application of 5-HT2B antagonists as treatments for chronic heart disease.[42][43] Research claims serotonin 5-HT2B receptors have effect on liver regeneration.[44]
