Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be

Ozone-induced loss of neuronal M2 muscarinic receptor function is prevented by cyclophosphamide

open access: yes, 1994
We tested the hypothesis that inflammatory cells mediate the loss of neuronal M2 muscarinic receptors in the lung after ozone exposure. Pathogen-free guinea pigs treated with cyclophosphamide (30 mg.kg-1.day-1 i.p.

Ligand regulation of the quaternary organization of cell surface M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors analyzed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging and homogenous time-resolved FRET [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Flp-In T-REx 293 cells expressing a wild type human M muscarinic acetylcholine receptor construct constitutively and able to express a Receptor Activated Solely by Synthetic Ligand (RASSL) form of this receptor on demand maintained response to the ...

Muscarinic Modulation of Morphologically Identified Glycinergic Neurons in the Mouse PreBötzinger Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The cholinergic system plays an essential role in central respiratory control, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We used whole-cell recordings in brainstem slices from juvenile mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under ...

Characterization of the Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 5 Antagonist RLPA‐76 as a Novel Analgesic in Male Rats and Mice

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinically used analgesics such as gabapentinoids and opioids have limited efficacy and adverse effects like abuse liability, and there is a dire need for novel analgesics with improved safety profiles. Since lysophosphatidic acid can induce neuropathic pain in rodents, LPA receptor antagonists have been investigated as potential analgesics ...

Elevated M2-muscarinic and beta 1-adrenergic receptor autoantibody levels are associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

open access: yes, 2015
Pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying lone atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been clearly demonstrated yet. Emerging evidence has indicated that autoimmunity may play a role in the development of AF.

Advances in Multidimensional Molecular Mechanisms of Epilepsy and Precision Therapy Strategies

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2026.
Epilepsy arises from a multidimensional network imbalance, integrating genetic, inflammatory, and metabolic disruptions. This complexity drives neuronal hyperexcitability and underpins therapeutic challenges. Our review highlights how emerging precision strategies, from targeted molecular therapies to neuromodulation, offer a transformative path toward

Distribution of Like-muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M2 in the Brain of Three Castes of Polyrhachis vicina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The cholinergic system plays an important role in the central nervous system of insects and is closely related to the complex behavior of insects. The immunohistochemical technique was performed to detect the expression of like-muscarinic acetylcholine ...

Effects of AF-DX116 and Other Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists on Orthostatic Hypotension in Autonomic Imbalanced (SART-Stressed) Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
SART (specific alternation of rhythm in temperature)-stressed rats are an animal model of autonomic imbalance created by exposing animals to repeated cold stress. The SART-stressed rats have been shown to easily develop orthostatic hypotension (OH).
