Porcine m2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor-Effector Coupling in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The relationship between porcine m2 muscarinic receptor coupling to inhibition of cAMP formation and stimulation of phosphatidylinositol metabolism in Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined. Reduction of the number of receptors per cell with the slowly dissociating antagonist (-)-quinuclidinyl benzilate caused a decrease in maximal response with no ...

Acetylcholine regulates the melanogenesis of retinal pigment epithelia cells via a cAMP-dependent pathway: A non-neuronal function of cholinergic system in retina

Heliyon
The turnover rate of melanogenesis in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and its molecular signaling remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of cholinergic signaling in the process of melanogenesis of cultured RPE cells.

Recovery of hippocampal functions and modulation of muscarinic response by electroacupuncture in young diabetic rats

Scientific Reports, 2017
The muscarinic receptor response to acetylcholine regulates the hippocampal-related learning, memory, neural plasticity and the production and processing of the pro-nerve growth factor (proNGF) by hippocampal cells.

Acetylcholine From Solitary Chemosensory Cell, Not Neuron, Regulates Basal Cell Fate Driving Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 1617-1634, May 2026.
This study identifies that Ach levels are elevated in eCRSwNP and primarily released from SCCs rather than neurons. Ach induces epithelial remodeling in eCRSwNP by binding to M1R/M3R and activating YAP signaling in basal cells, driving basal cell hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation. Blocking M1R/M3R with TB inhibits eCRSwNP progression.

Association Between Cholinesterase Inhibitor‐Overactive Bladder Antimuscarinic Prescribing Cascade and Risk of Delirium and Falls Among Individuals Living With Dementia

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1314-1325, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Prescribing cascades occur when cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI)‐induced urinary incontinence is misinterpreted as a new condition, leading to overactive bladder (OAB) antimuscarinic initiation. We evaluated whether the ChEI‐OAB antimuscarinic prescribing cascade was associated with delirium or falls compared with mirabegron in older

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and airway diseases

, 2003
Parasympathetic nerves provide the dominant autonomic innervation of the airways. Release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerves activates postjunctional muscarinic receptors present on airway smooth muscle, submucosal glands, and blood vessels to ...

Towards Mechanism‐Informed Treatments for Mental Health

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 5, May 2026.
Neuropsychiatric disorders impose a major global health burden, and current treatments, which historically mostly targeted dopamine and serotonin dysfunctions, often provide only partial, symptomatic relief. This review highlights emerging evidence that additional neuromodulator systems, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and endocannabinoids ...

Radioligandbindungsstudien : Struktur-Wirkungs-Beziehungen von Antagonisten an muskarinischen, serotonergen und histaminergen Rezeptor-Subtypen

, 2008
GPCRs and ligand-gated ion channels mediate a great variety of physiological effects within the human brain and periphery. The search for selective ligands at these target sites as pharmacological tools or new drug candidates is of great interest.

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons

, 2006
Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain
