  Effect of Ketanserin and Methiothepin Implicate a 5-HT-like Receptors in Serotonin-stimulated Alkali and Acid Secretion in Isolated

  Perfused Midgut Preparations of Larval Yellow-fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti

  Previous work from our laboratory has shown that serotonin (5-HT) is a major control factor for alkalinization of the anterior midgut (AMG) and acidification of the posterior midgut (PMG) of the larval mosquito

  Aedes aegypti. Heretofore it has been impossible to associate the effect of serotonin on acid-base transport with particular 5-HT receptor(s) in the larval mosquito gut. Ketanserin (10μM)

  a specific antagonist for 5-HT2-like receptors

  was effective against 5-HT stimulation of alkali secretion by the AMG

  but not the acid secretion by the PMG

  whereas Methiothepin (10μM) which is active against 5-HT1

  5-HT6 and 5-HT7 but not 5-HT2-like receptors

  was ineffective against alkali secretion by the AMG but effective against acid secretion in the PMG. Since 5-HT2 receptors are expected to act through an IP3/DAG pathway to secrete cytoplasmic Ca2+. This result is in accord with our recent demonstration that a Ca2+ 2nd message is required for initiation of 5-HT stimulated alkali and acid secretion.
