The 5-HT 2C receptor is very abundant in choroid plexus [ 8 42 ] , and is the only 5-HT receptor present on these cells.
Taken together, our results demonstrate that insulin/IGF-1 signaling down-regulates 5-HT 2C receptor function in choroid plexus and Xenopus oocytes via MAP kinase, and that the 5-HT 2C receptor is a substrate for MAP kinase.
The severe atrophy extended to a level outside of the inner nuclear layer (INL) and often outside the choroid (Figure 3e).
In addition, choroid plexus expresses insulin, IGF-I, and IGF-II receptors [ 11 47 ] ., as well as large amounts of IGF-II that is secreted into the CSF [ 47 ] . CSF contains insulin/IGFs and 5-HT [ 48 ] in concentrations high enough to activate their respective receptors in choroid plexus, suggesting that this signaling mechanism may occur in vivo . It has been suggested that 5-5HT 2C receptors in choroid plexus may be tonically activated, due to CSF 5-HT concentrations near the EC 50 , thus tonically inhibiting CSF production.
In choroid plexus, the 5-HT 2C receptor stimulates PI turnover, increases cGMP formation and activates Cl -channels.
