Popis: The 5-hydroxytryptamine 7 receptor (5-HT7) is necessary for 5-HT to cause a concentration-dependent vascular relaxation and hypotension. 5-HT7 is recognized as having biased signaling, transduced through either Gs or β -arrestin. It is unknown whether 5-HT7 signals in a biased manner to cause vasorelaxation/hypotension. We used the recently described β-arrestin selective 5-HT7 receptor agonist serodolin to test the hypothesis that 5-HT7 activation does not cause vascular relaxation or hypotension via the β -arrestin pathway. Isolated abdominal aorta (no functional 5-HT7) and vena cava (functional 5-HT7) from male Sprague Dawley rats were used in isometric contractility studies. Serodolin (1 nM – 10 μM) did not change baseline tone of isolated tissues and did not relax the endothelin-1 (ET-1)-contracted vena cava or aorta. In the aorta, serodolin acted as a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, evidenced by a rightward shift in 5-HT-induced concentration response curve [pEC50 5-HT [M]: Veh = 5.2 +/- 0.15; Ser (100 nM) = 4.49 +/- 0.08; p
