Pathological Insight into 5-HT2B Receptor Activation in Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases

Abstract: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a heterogeneous group of more than 200 conditions, of which primarily idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, ILD associated with autoimmune diseases and sarcoidosis may present a progressive fibrosing (PF) phenotype. Despite different aetiology and histopathological patterns, the PF-ILDs have similarities regarding disease mechanisms with self-sustaining fibrosis, which suggests that the disea… Show more

“…Basic studies have shown that 5-HT receptor antagonists can protect the lungs. For example, they attenuated ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung preservation in a rabbit model ( 10 ), and also reduced myofibroblast differentiation and connective tissue deposits in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases ( 11 ).…”

“…The mortality of mechanically ventilated patients is high at 30% 1,2 . It has been suggested that 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) plays a role in the pathophysiology of a wide range of diseases and conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 3,4 myocardial infarction, 5 adult respiratory distress syndrome, 6 sepsis, 7 lung ischemia–reperfusion injury, 8 pulmonary arterial hypertension, 9–12 interstitial lung diseases, 13 non‐small‐cell lung cancer and lung adenocarcinoma 14–16 . 5‐HT is an inflammatory mediator released in the lung 17 .…”

“… 29 It was shown an enhanced activation of serotonergic signaling in pulmonary fibrosis, and the serotonin (5-HT)2 receptors have been implicated to have important roles in observed profibrotic actions. 32 Thus, dopamine receptor antagonists might have the potential to stimulate angiogenesis and therefore represent a novel approach to tackle COPD.…”
