Proteome profile of the cerebellum from α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor deficient mice

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 10, May 2024.
Abstract The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR; CHRNA7) is expressed in the nervous system and in non‐neuronal tissues. Within the central nervous system, it is involved in various cognitive and sensory processes such as learning, attention, and memory.

Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in macrophage apoptosis and efferocytosis

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2012
The development of atherosclerotic lesions depends on an important inflammatory component mediated mostly by macrophages. Notably, apoptosis of macrophages within the lesion and efficient clearance of apoptotic cells are key factors in lesion progression.

Neuroprotection of rat retinal ganglion cells mediated through alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

open access: yesNeuroscience, 2013
Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is thought to play an important role in several neurodegenerative diseases in the CNS. In this study, neuroprotection against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity was analyzed using acetylcholine, nicotine and the alpha7 ...

Comprehensive view of macrophage autophagy and its application in cardiovascular diseases

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2024.
This review systematically describes the role of autophagy in macrophage functions, highlighting the existing evidence in the regulation of inflammation, cell death, metabolism, phagocytosis, and so forth. Meanwhile, we summarize the latest progress of therapeutics targeting macrophage autophagy in cardiovascular diseases, hoping to provide novel ...

Non-surgically-induced disuse muscle atrophy and neuromuscular dysfunction upregulates alpha7 acetylcholine receptors

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2013
Previous models of disuse have invariably used surgical methods require repetitive plaster casts applications. A method of disuse atrophy that does not require repetitive application is described.

The role of alpha-7 nicotinic receptors in food intake behaviors

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Nicotine alters appetite and energy expenditure, leading to changes in body weight. While the exact mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully established, both central and peripheral involvement of the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ...

Voltage- and temperature-dependent allosteric modulation of alpha7 nicotinic receptors by PNU120596

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2011
Alpha7 nicotinic receptors (a7nAChR) are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and are found at particularly high levels in the hippocampus and cortex.

Stoichiometry for activation of neuronal alpha7 nicotinic receptors

open access: yes, 2013
Neuronal α7 nicotinic receptors elicit rapid cation influx in response to acetylcholine (ACh) or its hydrolysis product choline. They contribute to cognition, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection and have been implicated in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. α7, however, often localizes distal to sites of nerve-released ACh and binds
