Cholinergic regulation on polymeric immunoglobulin receptor expression in Caco-2 cells

Acta Pharmaceutica
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) mediates trans cytosis of IgA, a pivotal anti-inflammatory player of the mucosal immune system. Transcytosis mediated by pIgR entails protein effectors of vesicle-mediated transport involved in signal pathway ...

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Severity of Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy Is Linked to Increasing Levels of Circulating Proinflammatory Cytokines

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a severe form of diabetic neuropathy affecting approximately one in five people with diabetes and is a major predictor of cardiovascular mortality. Low‐grade inflammation may contribute to CAN development, but the exact inflammatory factors associated with CAN remain unclear.

Pathophysiology and emerging treatments for dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review illustrates key proposed mast cell‐mediated activation pathways in dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria, highlighting IgE‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. These pathways are increasingly targeted by emerging drugs, aiming to interrupt mast cell activation and mediator release, offering more precise, mechanism‐based treatment ...

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 505-516, April 2025.
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...
