lüll The role of serotonin in tumour growth (review) Siddiqui EJ; Thompson CS; Mikhailidis DP; Mumtaz FHOncol Rep 2005[Dec]; 14 (6): 1593-7Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5HT) a monoamine neurotransmitter mediates a wide range of physiological actions in the human body. For example 5HT is implicated in psychiatric and neurological disorders and also plays a fundamental role in tumour growth, differentiation and gene expression. 5HT acts as a growth factor for several types of tumoural and non-tumoural cells. This review considers the role of 5HT and its receptors in the human body with particular reference to carcinogenesis. We conclude that 5HT causes growth proliferation and 5HT antagonists cause growth inhibition in a variety of tumour cells (e.g. prostate carcinoma, lung carcinoma and colonic carcinoma). Therefore, further studies should look into the potential use of 5HT antagonists in the treatment of cancer.|Cell Line, Tumor[MESH]|Cell Proliferation/drug effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoplasms/drug therapy/pathology/*physiopathology[MESH]|Piperazines/pharmacology[MESH]|Receptor, Serotonin, 5-HT1A/physiology[MESH]|Serotonin 5-HT1 Receptor Antagonists[MESH]|Serotonin Antagonists/pharmacology[MESH]|Serotonin/*physiology[MESH] |
