Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] causes relaxation of the isolated superior mesenteric vein, a splanchnic blood vessel, through activation of the 5-HT7 receptor. As part of studies designed to identify the mechanism(s) through which chronic (≥24 h) infusion of 5-HT lowers blood pressure, we tested the hypothesis that 5-HT causes in vitro and in vivo splanchnic venodilation that is 5-HT7 receptor dependent. In tissue baths for measurement of isometric contraction, the portal vein and abdominal inferior vena cava relaxed to 5-HT and the 5-HT1/7 receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine; relaxation was abolished by the 5-HT7 receptor antagonist SB-269970. Western blot analyses showed that the abdominal inferior vena cava and portal vein express 5-HT7 receptor protein. In contrast, the thoracic vena cava, outside the splanchnic circulation, did not relax to serotonergic agonists and exhibited minimal expression of the 5-HT7 receptor. Male Sprague-Dawley rats with chronically implanted radiotelemetry transmitters underwent repeated ultrasound imaging of abdominal vessels. After baseline imaging, minipumps containing vehicle (saline) or 5-HT (25 μg·kg−1·min−1) were implanted. Twenty-four hours later, venous diameters were increased in rats with 5-HT-infusion (percent increase from baseline: superior mesenteric vein, 17.5 ± 1.9; portal vein, 17.7 ± 1.8; and abdominal inferior vena cava, 46.9 ± 8.0) while arterial pressure was decreased (~13 mmHg). Measures returned to baseline after infusion termination. In a separate group of animals, treatment with SB-269970 (3 mg/kg iv) prevented the splanchnic venodilation and fall in blood pressure during 24 h of 5-HT infusion. Thus, 5-HT causes 5-HT7 receptor-dependent splanchnic venous dilation associated with a fall in blood pressure. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This research is noteworthy because it combines and links, through the 5-HT7 receptor, an in vitro observation (venorelaxation) with in vivo events (venodilation and fall in blood pressure). This supports the idea that splanchnic venodilation plays a role in blood pressure regulation.

Background: Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) are one of the hallmarks of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Ultrasound can accurately show the location and type of portosystemic collaterals. Objectives: To study the sonographic feature of SPSS in patients with BCS and to evaluate differences in the main portal vein diameter among multiple types of portosystemic shunts. Patients and Methods: Ultrasonographies of 44 patients with SPSS among 352 BCS patients between June 2000 and November 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. The SPSS in 44 BCS patients were first detected by ultrasound and then confirmed via digital subtraction angiography (DSA), computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance venography (MRV). The location, course, diameter and hemodynamics of the spontaneous portosystemic shunts were observed by ultrasound. In addition, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to evaluate the difference in the main portal vein diameter between the different shunt types. Results: The blood drainage patterns of SPSS in 44 of 352 patients with BCS were classified as the following five types: portal-umbilical shunts (15/44), portal-hepatic shunts (11/44), portal-accessory hepatic shunts (6/44) (the accessory hepatic veins included the inferior right hepatic vein and the caudate lobe vein), splenorenal shunts (8/44) and main portal vein-inferior vena cava shunts (4/44). The corresponding hemodynamics of the five types mentioned above were obtained. Main portal vein-inferior vena cava shunts had a significantly larger mean portal trunk diameter compared with all other types (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). In addition, the mean portal trunk diameters in portal-umbilical shunts and portal-hepatic shunts were obviously larger than that of splenorenal shunts (P < 0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences between the other types. Conclusion: Spontaneous portosystemic shunts are not rare in patients with BCS. Ultrasound is a reliable means for their diagnosis and it offers substantial information for use in clinical treatment.
