Neuroimmune pathophysiology of long COVID

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Although COVID‐19 was originally considered a respiratory illness, it is now well established that SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can have far‐reaching impacts on the nervous system. Neurological symptoms such as chemosensory dysfunction are frequently observed during acute infection and approximately 10% of COVID‐19 cases will go on to develop new or persistent

Caveolin-3 differentially orchestrates cholinergic and serotonergic constriction of murine airways [PDF]

, 2018
The mechanisms of controlling airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone are of utmost clinical importance as inappropriate constriction is a hallmark in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Histological Protection by Donepezil Against Neurodegeneration Induced by Ischemia–Reperfusion in the Rat Retina

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Although a blockade of acetylcholine esterase has been reported to suppress neuronal cell death induced by exogenous glutamate and β-amyloid, information is still limited regarding the neuroprotective effects of the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor ...

Methacholine hyperresponsiveness in mice with house dust mite‐induced lung inflammation is not associated with excessive airway constriction ex vivo

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The role of excessive airway constriction in the hyperresponsiveness to nebulized methacholine in mice with experimental asthma is still contentious. Yet, there have been very few studies investigating whether the increased in vivo response to methacholine caused by experimental asthma is associated with a corresponding increase in ex vivo ...

Acetylcholine-treated murine dendritic cells promote inflammatory lung injury [PDF]

, 2019
In recent years a non-neuronal cholinergic system has been described in immune cells, which is often usually activated during the course of inflammatory processes. To date, it is known that Acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter extensively expressed in

Functional characterization of three G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2023
The physiological significance of metabotropic acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematodes remains largely unexplored. Here, three different Trichinella spiralis G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors (TsGAR-1, -2, and -3) were identified in the ...

Identification and localization of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor proteins in brain with subtype-specific antibodies

Journal of Neuroscience, 1991
mRNAs encoding five genetically distinct muscarinic ACh receptors are present in the CNS. Because of their pharmacological similarities, it has not been possible to detect the individual encoded proteins; thus, their physiological functions are not well ...

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...
