Serotonin activates Ras and Ras-dependent ERK1/2 phosphorylation in HEK293 cells expressing G(s)-coupled 5-HT(4) or 5-HT(7) serotonin receptors through unknown mechanisms. Both Epac/Rap-dependent and -independent pathways for Ras-dependent ERK1/2 activation have been suggested. Epac overexpression or Epac-specific 8-CPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP did not cause ERK1/2 phosphorylation, despite Rap activation. The data did not support a role for PLCepsilon or DAG-dependent Ras GEFs of the Ras-GRP family in Ras-dependent ERK1/2 phosphorylation. However, serotonin stimulated phosphorylation of endogenous and recombinant Ras-GRF1, increased [Ca(2+)](i) and caused Ca(2+)- and calmodulin-dependent ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Different signalling pathways seem to be utilised by G(s)-coupled receptors in various isolates of HEK293 cells.
