Selective M3 Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist Inhibits Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Growth in a Mouse Orthotopic Xenograft Model

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: In small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized and secreted, and it acts as an autocrine growth factor through activation of its receptors, muscarinic receptor (mAChR) and nicotinic receptor (nAChR). Alteration of tumor growth

Effect of the Arg16Gly β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphism on Long‐Term Mepolizumab Response and Clinical Remission in Severe Eosinophilic Asthma: A Genotype‐Stratified, Multicenter Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study examines the association between the rs1042713 (Arg16Gly) polymorphism of the β2‐adrenergic receptor and the risk of severe eosinophilic asthma, as well as its influence on mepolizumab long‐term effectiveness and clinical remission. The Arg16 allele is associated with increased risk of severe disease and potentially diminished long‐term ...

Xanomeline/trospium-induced polyuria: A patient case report [PDF]

Mental Health Clinician
Xanomeline/trospium is a newly approved agent for the management of schizophrenia. Unlike traditional antipsychotics, which are D2 receptor antagonists, xanomeline is an M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist coformulated with trospium, a ...

Vasoreactivity as a Measure of Kidney Viability During Ex Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of warm ischemic injury on renal vascular responsiveness to vasoactive drugs during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). We found that the vascular responses to dopamine and norepinephrine could be used as objective indicators to assess kidney viability during NMP.

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]

, 2016
Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

PAC‐FOS: A novel translational concordance framework identifies preclinical seizure models with highest predictive validity for clinical focal onset seizures

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Central to the development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) is testing of antiseizure activity in preclinical models. Although various well‐established models exist, their predictive validity across the spectrum of clinical epilepsies has been less clear.

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

, 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 ...

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 ...
