Expression of components of the serotonergic system in the developing rat thymus.
Doklady. Biochemistry and Biophysics 2017 November
The developing thymus of rat fetuses contains all components of the serotonergic system: receptors, enzymes of synthesis, and membrane transporters. The expression of receptors suggests the possibility of a direct influence of serotonin on thymic development. The presence of tryptophan hydroxylase (the key rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin synthesis) and aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase indicates the ability of fetal thymic cells to synthesize serotonin. It was shown that the cells of a developing thymus can actively uptake extracellular monoamines. The results of this study suggest different functions of the intrathymic and circulating serotonin pools in the regulation of thymic development.
