The human alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a host target for the rabies virus glycoprotein

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The rabies virus enters the nervous system by interacting with several molecular targets on host cells to modify behavior and trigger receptor-mediated endocytosis of the virion by poorly understood mechanisms.

Genome‐wide pleiotropy analysis of longitudinal blood pressure and harmonized cognitive performance measures

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Identifying pleiotropy for blood pressure (BP) and cognitive performance measures may indicate mechanistic links between hypertension and Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS We performed a pleiotropy genome‐wide association study (GWAS) for paired measures of systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean arterial pressure with memory ...

Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor mediates chronic nicotine inhalation-induced cardiopulmonary dysfunction

Clinical Science, 2022
Abstract Cigarette smoking remains the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiopulmonary diseases; however, the effects of nicotine alone on cardiopulmonary function remain largely unknown. Previously, we have shown that chronic nicotine vapor inhalation in mice leads to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with right ...

Copy number variations in healthy subjects. Case study: iPSC line CSSi005-A (3544) production from an individual with variation in 15q13.3 chromosome duplicating gene CHRNA7

Stem Cell Research, 2018
CHRNA7, encoding the neuronal alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (a7nAChR), is highly expressed in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus. It is situated in the 15q13.3 chromosome region, frequently associated with a Copy Number Variation (CNV),
