Functional 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptors can be formed by 5-HT3A subunits alone or in combination with the 5-HT3B subunit, but only the 5-HT3A receptor has been previously studied with respect to the modulation by volatile anesthetics and n-alcohols. Using two-electrode voltage-clamp, we show for the first time the modulation of heteromeric human (h)5-HT3AB receptors, expressed in Xenopus oocytes, by a series of n-alcohols and halogenated volatile anesthetics. At twice their anesthetic concentration, compounds having a molecular volume of less than 110 A3 enhanced submaximal 5-HT-evoked current. Compounds larger than 110 A3 inhibited submaximal 5-HT-evoked current. In experiments examining 5-HT concentration-response relationships, chloroform and butanol caused a slight decrease in the 5-HT EC50. Sevoflurane and octanol inhibited 5-HT-evoked current at all 5-HT concentrations tested but had no effect upon the 5-HT EC50. Compared with previous data on homomeric h5-HT3A receptors, the presence of the h5-HT3B subunit reduces the enhancement of h5-HT3 receptors by smaller halogenated volatile anesthetics and n-alcohols. In summary, these results suggest that heteromeric h5-HT3AB receptors are modulated by halogenated volatile anesthetics at clinically relevant concentrations, in addition to n-alcohols, suggesting that these receptors may be another physiological target for these compounds. The modulation is dependent upon the molecular volume of the compound, further supporting the concept of an anesthetic binding pocket of limited volume common on other Cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels. Incorporation of the 5-HT3B subunit alters either the anesthetic binding site or the allosteric interactions between anesthetic binding and channel opening.
