Role of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Signaling in Gastrointestinal Cancers

Biomedicines, 2019
In the tumor microenvironment, various stromal and immune cells accumulate and interact with cancer cells to contribute to tumor progression. Among stromal players, nerves have recently been recognized as key regulators of tumor growth.

Perinatal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Thiacloprid Impacts Transcription of Neuroplasticity and Neuroendocrine Markers in Mice but Not in the Zebrafish Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides in agriculture, aquaculture, pet care, and urban pest control. Initially developed to selectively target the insect cholinergic system, their extensive use has raised concerns about adverse effects on nontarget vertebrates.

Intratumoral Nerve Phased Development: A Promising Therapeutic Target

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
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 ...

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Overview of Non-neuronal Cholinergic Systems and Their Biological

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a phylogenetically ancient molecule involved in cell-to-cell signaling in almost all life-forms on earth. Cholinergic components, including ACh, choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase, and muscarinic and nicotinic ACh ...

Efficacy and Safety of IncobotulinumtoxinA for Treatment of Sialorrhea: A Multicenter, Phase 3 Study in Japan

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated significant treatment efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA injection in Japanese patients with chronic sialorrhea caused by Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions. Suppression of salivary secretion and improvement in drooling symptoms were also observed throughout 48 weeks.

Structure and selectivity engineering of the M1 muscarinic receptor toxin complex

Science, 2020
Engineering a toxin Developing drugs that target a specific subtype in a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) family is a major challenge. Maeda et al. examined the basis of specificity of a snake venom toxin binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors ...

Pro-inflammatory mechanisms of muscarinic receptor stimulation in airway smooth muscle

Respiratory Research, 2010
Background Acetylcholine, the primary parasympathetic neurotransmitter in the airways, plays an important role in bronchoconstriction and mucus production.

Levodopa Disrupts Activity Patterns and Encoding of Movement in Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons of Behaving Mice

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Levodopa treatment, the gold standard therapy for Parkinson's disease, can lead to levodopa‐induced dyskinesias (LIDs). Recent studies in acute brain slices have implicated the neural dynamics of striatal cholinergic interneurons (CINs) in the pathophysiology of LID, reporting that their discharge becomes more bursty in dyskinetic ...
