Transglutaminases (TGs) in ocular and periocular tissues: effect of muscarinic agents on TGs in scleral fibroblasts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of transglutaminases (TGs) in the ocular surface, the eyelid margin and associated glands and to determine effect of muscarinic agents on TGs in scleral fibroblasts (SF).

Effects of cAMP and CFTR modulation on apical fluid pH in human airway Calu‐3 cells

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, February 2026.
Abstract The airway epithelium serves as the first line of defense against inhaled insults present in the external environment by acting as a physical barrier and through host defense mechanisms. Proper maintenance of these host defense mechanisms relies on the regulation of airway surface liquid (ASL) composition and properties, a process that is ...

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Scavengers Have a Protective Effect on Carbachol-induced Contractions That are Impaired by High Glucose in Detrusor Smooth Muscle

Journal of Urological Surgery
Objective: Urinary bladder dysfunction, that is one of the most common diabetic complications, is associated with bladder overactivity, increased bladder capacity and also impaired bladder smooth muscle contractions.

Inhibition of carbachol-induced inositol phosphate accumulation in the embryonic retina promoted by kainate and veratridine

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
In the present study, we report that low concentrations of the glutamate ionotropic agonist kainate decreased the turnover of [3H]-phosphoinositides ([3H]-InsPs) induced by muscarinic receptors in the chick embryonic retina.

Gastrin and Nitric Oxide Production in Cultured Gastric Antral Mucosa Are Altered in Response to a Gastric Digest of a Dietary Supplement

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
In vitro organ culture can provide insight into isolated mucosal responses to particular environmental stimuli. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of a prolonged culturing time as well as the addition of acidic gastric fluid

IL-13R alpha 2 reverses the effects of IL-13 and IL-4 on bronchial reactivity and acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The interleukins IL-4 and IL-13 play a key role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The interleukin receptor IL-13R alpha 2 is believed to act as a decoy receptor, but until now, the functional significance of IL-13R alpha 2 remains vague ...

Different types of potassium transport linked to carbachol and γ-aminobutyric acid actions in rat sympathetic neurons [PDF]

, 1984
Carbachol and γ-aminobutyric acid depolarize mammalian sympathetic neurons and increase the free extracellular K+-concentration. We have used double-barrelled ion-sensitive microelectrodes to determine changes of the membrane potential and of the free ...

DR5 Governs Compound Exocytosis in Colonic Goblet Cells via TATA‐Box Binding Protein‐Dependent Bestrophin‐2 Transcriptional Regulation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
DR5 knockout exhibits a thinner colonic mucus layer, leading to mild dysbiosis, increased susceptibility to Citrobacter rodentium invasion, and exacerbated epithelial injury. Mechanistically, DR5 binds transcription factor TBP, which regulates the expression of gene Best2 via its promoter.

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...
