Anti-inflammation of spirocyclopiperazinium salt compound LXM-10 targeting α7 nAChR and M4 mAChR and inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 pathway in rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The present study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of LXM-10 by intragastric administration in both acute and chronic inflammatory models, and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Discoveries and future significance of research into amyloid-beta/α7-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) interactions

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2023
Initiated by findings that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a profound loss of cholinergic markers in human brain, decades of studies have examined the interactions between specific subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and amyloid-β ...

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Signaling Inhibits Inflammasome Activation by Preventing Mitochondrial DNA Release

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2014
The mammalian immune system and the nervous system coevolved under the influence of cellular and environmental stress. Cellular stress is associated with changes in immunity and activation of the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3 ...

THE NATURE OF ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 1983
The present work with consideratlon to the autoradiographic pictures, suggests that cholinergic receptors are located at the gate of a channel originating from synaptic cleft coming to lie within the muscle fibre. AChE molecules stand at the gate of this

Recent Duplication and Functional Divergence in Parasitic Nematode Levamisole-Sensitive Acetylcholine Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Helminth parasites rely on fast-synaptic transmission in their neuromusculature to experience the outside world and respond to it. Acetylcholine plays a pivotal role in this and its receptors are targeted by a wide variety of both natural and synthetic ...

Ancestral acetylcholine receptor β-subunit forms homopentamers that prime before opening spontaneously

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Human adult muscle-type acetylcholine receptors are heteropentameric ion channels formed from two α-subunits, and one each of the β-, δ-, and ε-subunits.

Functional Stoichiometry at the Nicotinic Receptor. The Photon Cross Section for Phase 1 Corresponds to Two Bis-Q Molecules per Channel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
These experiments examine changes in the agonist-induced conductance that occur when the agonist-receptor complex is perturbed. Voltage-clamped Electrophorus electroplaques are exposed to the photoisomerizable agonist trans-Bis-Q A 1-µs laser flash ...

Cholesterol modulates acetylcholine receptor diffusion by tuning confinement sojourns and nanocluster stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Translational motion of neurotransmitter receptors is key for determining receptor number at the synapse and hence, synaptic efficacy. We combine live-cell STORM superresolution microscopy of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) with single-particle ...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor mutations [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsia, 2010
SummaryAutosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is characterized by clusters of brief motor seizures. This rare syndrome is caused by mutations in at least two subunit genes of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Some of these mutations seem to increase the risk for additional neurologic symptoms.

Suxamethonium-Induced Hyperkalemia: A Short Review of Causes and Recommendations for Clinical Applications

open access: yesCritical Care Research and Practice, 2021
After the introduction of suxamethonium in 1953, cases of cardiac arrest during induction of anesthesia were recorded. In the following years, hyperkalemia was identified as the cause, and the connection to acetylcholine receptor modulation as the ...
