Emerging Roles of Cholinergic Receptors in Schwann Cell Development and Plasticity

Biomedicines, 2022
The cross talk between neurons and glial cells during development, adulthood, and disease, has been extensively documented. Among the molecules mediating these interactions, neurotransmitters play a relevant role both in myelinating and non-myelinating ...

Evidence for Respiratory Neuromodulator Interdependence after Cholinergic Disruption in the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]

, 2015
Reverse dialysis of the muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine (ATR, 50 mM), into the pre-Bötzinger Complex region of the ventral respiratory column (VRC) of awake and sleeping goats increases breathing frequency and serotonin (5-HT), substance P (SP),

Notch Signal Mediates the Cross-Interaction between M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor and Neuregulin/ErbB Pathway: Effects on Schwann Cell Proliferation

Biomolecules, 2022
The cross-talk between axon and glial cells during development and in adulthood is mediated by several molecules. Among them are neurotransmitters and their receptors, which are involved in the control of myelinating and non-myelinating glial cell ...

Deconvolution of complex G protein-coupled receptor signaling in live cells using dynamic mass redistribution measurements [PDF]

, 2010
Label-free biosensor technology based on dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) of cellular constituents promises to translate GPCR signaling into complex optical 'fingerprints' in real time in living cells.

Identification and Role of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Expressed in Rat Adrenal Medullary Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: The muscarinic receptor is known to be involved in the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced secretion of catecholamines in the adrenal medullary (AM) cells of various mammals.

Probing the role of the cation–π interaction in the binding sites of GPCRs using unnatural amino acids [PDF]

, 2009
We describe a general application of the nonsense suppression methodology for unnatural amino acid incorporation to probe drug–receptor interactions in functional G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), evaluating the binding sites of both the M2 muscarinic

Dynamic regulation of quaternary organization of the M1 muscarinic receptor by subtype-selective antagonist drugs [PDF]

, 2016
Although rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors can exist as both monomers and non-covalently associated dimers/oligomers, the steady-state proportion of each form and whether this is regulated by receptor ligands is unknown.

Dopamine D_2-receptor activation elicits akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and tremor in mice expressing hypersensitive 4 nicotinic receptors via a cholinergic-dependent mechanism [PDF]

, 2010
Recent studies suggest that high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α4 and β2 subunits (α4β2*) functionally interact with G-protein-coupled dopamine (DA) D_2 receptors in basal ganglia.

M2-AChR Mediates Rapid Antidepressant Effects of Scopolamine Through Activating the mTORC1-BDNF Signaling Pathway in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Background: Scopolamine, a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1~5-AChR) antagonist, has rapid and robust antidepressant effects in humans and other species. However, which of the five M-AChRs mediates these therapeutic effects has not been

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
