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

European 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

Electroacupuncture acutely improves cerebral blood flow and attenuates moderate ischemic injury via an endothelial mechanism in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Electroacupuncture (EA) is a novel therapy based on traditional acupuncture combined with modern eletrotherapy that is currently being investigated as a treatment for acute ischemic stroke.

Drugs that act on both G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and kinases: potentiation of effects, side effects and general aspects of drug pleiotropy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A drug designed for a specific target often interacts with multiple targets, either unintentionally or as part of its intended mechanism of action. This has been called pharmacological pleiotropy or polypharmacology. There are key endogenous ligands such as ATP, GABA and glutamate that act on various proteins in humans. Furthermore,

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Activation of M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Delayed Cardiac Aging by Inhibiting the Caspase-1/IL-1β Signaling Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Because the prevalence of age-related cardiac impairment increases as the human lifespan increases, it is important to combat the effects of aging.

Don't Sweat It: Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Reduce Sweating in a Mouse Model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
A new galvanic skin response‐based approach offers a simple method for measuring sweating in the paws of mice. This method is used to demonstrate that cannabinoid CB1 receptors reduce baseline sweating in mice, likely via inhibition of sympathetic acetylcholine release via axonal CB1 receptors.

Direct modulation of TRPC ion channels by Gα proteins

Frontiers in Physiology
GPCR-Gi protein pathways are involved in the regulation of vagus muscarinic pathway under physiological conditions and are closely associated with the regulation of internal visceral organs.

The M3 muscarinic receptor is required for optimal adaptive immunity to helminth and bacterial infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Innate immunity is regulated by cholinergic signalling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We show here that signalling through the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) plays an important role in adaptive immunity to both Nippostrongylus ...

Intestinal epithelial stem/progenitor cells are controlled by mucosal afferent nerves. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The maintenance of the intestinal epithelium is of great importance for the survival of the organism. A possible nervous control of epithelial cell renewal was studied in rats and mice.

Kv7 and K2P Potassium Channels in Thalamocortical Function and Their Therapeutic Potential in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Modulation of K2P and Kv7 channels has the potential to reduce hyperexcitability and hypersynchronicity within the thalamocortical system. This offers a new avenue to suppress spike and wave discharges, the electrophysiological hallmark of absence epilepsy.
