Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]

, 2011
Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptor distribution in the guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

, 2006
In the enteric nervous system, acetylcholine is the most common neurotransmitter to induce gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions. Cholinergic signaling is mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the surface of smooth muscle cells.

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, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 179-197, January 2026.
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.

Long-term activation upon brief exposure to xanomleline is unique to M1 and M4 subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Xanomeline is an agonist endowed with functional preference for M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It also exhibits both reversible and wash-resistant binding to and activation of these receptors.

Impact of a GABA‐Producing Lactococcus lactis on Microbiota and Mycobiota During CNS Inflammatory Demyelination

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
GABA‐producing Lactococcus lactis protects against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in a mouse source‐dependent manner. The study focuses on the therapeutic potential of genetically engineered gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)‐overproducing Lactococcus lactis (P8s‐GAD L. lactis) in the EAE model.

The m1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor transactivates the EGF receptor to modulate ion channel activity [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1997
Intracellular tyrosine kinases link the G protein-coupled m1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) to multiple cellular responses. However, the mechanisms by which m1 mAChRs stimulate tyrosine kinase activity and the identity of the kinases within particular signaling pathways remain largely unknown.

Expression Profiles of Neuropeptides, Neurotransmitters, and Their Receptors in Human Keratocytes In Vitro and In Situ. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Keratocytes, the quiescent cells of the corneal stroma, play a crucial role in corneal wound healing. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters are usually associated with neuronal signaling, but have recently been shown to be produced also by non-neuronal ...

Novel fused arylpyrimidinone based allosteric modulators of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [PDF]

, 2016
Benzoquinazolinone 1 is a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR), which is significantly more potent than the prototypical PAM, 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline- 3-carboxylic acid (BQCA). In

The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist xanomeline suppresses lethal inflammation

The FASEB Journal, 2009
We have recently indicated a role for brain muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in controlling systemic inflammatory responses (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2006, 5219; Brain Behav Immun, Epub). Here we studied whether xanomeline, a centrally‐acting M1 muscarinic receptor agonist, suppresses the systemic cytokine ...
