The Role of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M3 in Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 (M3-mAChR) is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Owing to specific cardioprotective effects, M3-mAChR is an ideal diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Autoantibodies to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors found in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2010
Background Autoantibodies to the human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor of the M3 type (hmAchR M3) have been suggested to play an etiopathogenic role in Sjögren's syndrome.

A molecular basis for selective antagonist destabilization of dopamine D3 receptor quaternary organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is a molecular target for both first-generation and several recently-developed antipsychotic agents. Following stable expression of this mEGFP-tagged receptor, Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis indicated that a ...

Acetylcholine Release Inhibits Distinct Excitatory Inputs Onto Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons via Different Cellular and Network Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
In hippocampal CA1, muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (mAChR) activation via exogenous application of cholinergic agonists has been shown to presynaptically inhibit Schaffer collateral (SC) glutamatergic inputs in stratum radiatum (SR), and ...

Menthol‐like cooling compounds, including (R)‐(‐)‐carvone, inhibit the human bitter taste receptors for saccharin and acesulfame K

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 1955-1962, December 2025.
We report that some menthol‐like cooling compounds, including (R)‐(‐)‐carvone, act as inhibitors of TAS2R31 and TAS2R43, which are taste receptors responsible for the intrinsic bitter aftertastes of saccharin and acesulfame K. However, there was little correlation between the intensity of the cooling sensation and the potency of bitterness inhibition ...

Mechanisms of phospholipase D stimulation by m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1994
In human embryonic kidney cells stably expressing the human m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtype, agonist (carbachol) activation stimulated phospholipase C, increased cytoplasmic calcium concentration, induced tyrosine phosphorylation of various cellular proteins and activated phospholipase D. Bypassing membrane receptors, phospholipase

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptor distribution in the guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In the enteric nervous system, acetylcholine is the most common neurotransmitter to induce gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions. Cholinergic signaling is mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of smooth muscle cells.

Intratumoral Nerve Phased Development: A Promising Therapeutic Target

open access: yesMedicine Bulletin, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 154-170, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The nervous system has emerged as a critical regulator of tumor biology, engaging in dynamic crosstalk with cancer cells. Although the protumorigenic role of innervation is well established, increasing attention is now directed toward reciprocal influences—how tumors actively shape and remodel local nerve networks within the tumor ...

Neuronal Reshaping of the Tumor Microenvironment in Tumorigenesis and Metastasis: Bench to Clinic

open access: yesMedicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 364-371, December 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates the multidimensional crosstalk between neurons and tumor microenvironment as well as targeted intervention strategies identified in the study. It highlights three core interaction axes: nerve‐tumor crosstalk mediated by neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors, neuro‐vascular communication driving angiogenesis via ...

Extrinsic intestinal denervation modulates tumor development in the small intestine of ApcMin/+ mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background Innervation interacts with enteric immune responses. Chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We aimed to study potential extrinsic neuronal modulation of intestinal tumor development in a mouse ...
