| Abstract | Activation of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2B), a Gq/11 protein-coupled receptor, results in proliferation of various cell types. The 5-HT2B receptor is also expressed on the pacemaker cells of the gastrointestinal tract, the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), where activation triggers ICC proliferation. The goal of this study was to characterize the mitogenic signal transduction cascade activated by the 5-HT2B receptor. All of the experiments were performed on mouse small intestine primary cell cultures. Activation of the 5-HT2B receptor by its agonist BW723C86 induced proliferation of ICC. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase by LY294002 decreased base-line proliferation but had no effect on 5-HT2B receptor-mediated proliferation. Proliferation of ICC through the 5-HT2B receptor was inhibited by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 and by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibitor Xestospongin C. Calphostin C, the α, β, γ, and μ protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Gö6976, and the α, β, γ, δ, and ζ PKC inhibitor Gö6983 inhibited 5-HT2B receptor-mediated proliferation, indicating the involvement of PKC α, β, or γ. Of all the PKC isoforms blocked by Gö6976, PKCγ and μ mRNAs were found by single-cell PCR to be expressed in ICC. 5-HT2B receptor activation in primary cell cultures obtained from PKCγ−/− mice did not result in a proliferative response, further indicating the requirement for PKCγ in the proliferative response to 5-HT2B receptor activation. The data demonstrate that the 5-HT2B receptor-induced proliferative response of ICC is through phospholipase C, [Ca2+] i , and PKCγ, implicating this PKC isoform in the regulation of cellular proliferation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
