Changes in adrenergic and cholinergic receptors on human cerebral vessels. Implications for new therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAlzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) occurs as a result of a failure of Intramural Periarterial Drainage (IPAD) of amyloid‐beta (Aβ) along the walls of capillaries and arteries. The motive force for IPAD is provided by the spontaneous contractions of cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells (CVSMC that receive adrenergic and ...

Review article: pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) involvement is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). There are no disease modifying therapies for this condition and the treatment remains symptomatic, largely owing to

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 and M3 subtypes mediate acetylcholine-induced endothelium-independent vasodilatation in rat mesenteric arteries

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
The present study investigated pharmacological characterizations of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subtypes involving ACh-induced endothelium-independent vasodilatation in rat mesenteric arteries.

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic

Anti-M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antibodies and Sjögren's syndrome

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2013
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands including salivary and lacrimal glands. It is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into exocrine glands, leading to dry mouth and eyes. A number of auto-antibodies are detected in patients with SS. However, no SS-specific pathologic auto-antibodies have yet been found in

Identification and Role of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Expressed in Rat Adrenal Medullary Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: The muscarinic receptor is known to be involved in the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced secretion of catecholamines in the adrenal medullary (AM) cells of various mammals.

Elevated Hippocampal Cholinergic Neurostimulating Peptide precursor protein (HCNP-pp) mRNA in the amygdala in major depression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The amygdala is innervated by the cholinergic system and is involved in major depressive disorder (MDD). Evidence suggests a hyper-activate cholinergic system in MDD.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...

Muscarinic receptor oligomerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been classically described as monomeric entities that function by binding in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to both ligand and downstream signalling proteins.
