Associations of genetic variations in the M3 receptor with salt sensitivity, longitudinal changes in blood pressure and the incidence of hypertension in Chinese adults

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension
Recent studies have reported the role of the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R), a member of the G‐protein coupled receptor superfamily, encoded by the CHRM3 gene, in cardiac function and the regulation of blood pressure (BP).

Deepening insights into cholinergic agents for intraocular pressure reduction: systems genetics, molecular modeling, and in vivo perspectives

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Parasympathetic activation in the anterior eye segment regulates various physiological functions. This process, mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, also impacts intraocular pressure (IOP) through the trabecular meshwork. While FDA-approved M3

Non-Neuronal Functions of the M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor [PDF]

, 2013
Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter whose effects are mediated by two classes of receptors. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ion channels, whereas the muscarinic receptors belong to the large family of G protein coupled seven ...

Signaling Bias and Antagonism of Pilocarpine for M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor

The FASEB Journal, 2018
Pilocarpine is a prototypical drug used to treat glaucoma and dry mouth since the 19 th century and classified as either a full or partial muscarinic agonist. Here, we report several unexpected results pertaining to its interaction with its main therapeutic target ‐ muscarinic M3 receptor ...

Ligand-guided homology modeling drives identification of novel histamine H3 receptor ligands [PDF]

, 2019
In this study, we report a ligand-guided homology modeling approach allowing the analysis of relevant binding site residue conformations and the identification of two novel histamine H3 receptor ligands with binding affinity in the nanomolar range.

Effects of Nerve Growth Factor shRNA Inhibition on Asthma Phenotypes in a Mouse Model of Asthma

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2018
Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays an important role in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of NGF inhibition on AHR and other asthma phenotypes in a mouse model of asthma.

Molecular mechanisms for fetal cardiac arrhythmia in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

, 2010
Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP) is characterized by raised serum bile acids which can cause fetal complications, including preterm labour and intrauterine death. The fetal death in ICP is not well understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms of
