Multiple functional defects in peripheral autonomic organs in mice lacking muscarinic acetylcholine receptor gene for the M3 subtype.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors consist of five distinct subtypes and have been important targets for drug development. In the periphery, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors mediate cholinergic signals to autonomic organs, but specific physiological ...

Contrary effects of the gut metabolites deoxycholate and butyrate on the acetylcholine-evoked calcium response in an enteroendocrine cell model

open access: yesEndocrine and Metabolic Science
The interaction of nutrients and bacterial-derived products and their enteroendocrine effects are still enigmatic. We used the human enteroendocrine tumour cell line P-STS isolated from the terminal ileum as cellular sentinel.

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

open access: yesIranian 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.

The surface accessibility of α-bungarotoxin monitored by a novel paramagnetic probe [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
The surface accessibility of {\alpha}-bungarotoxin has been investigated by using Gd2L7, a newly designed paramagnetic NMR probe. Signal attenuations induced by Gd2L7 on {\alpha}-bungarotoxin C{\alpha}H peaks of 1H-13C HSQC spectra have been analyzed and compared with the ones previously obtained in the presence of GdDTPA-BMA. In spite of the different

Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range, half-maximal effective concentration, and effective Hill coefficient, and explore the full spectrum

Autoantibodies to beta-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) patients – A validation study in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid from two Swedish cohorts

open access: yesBrain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2020
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) also known as ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) or ME/SEID (Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disorder), is a disabling and often long-lasting disease that can drastically impair quality of life and physical/social functioning ...

Posttranslational modifications of human M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor: zooming in its functional implications

open access: yes, 2023
The human M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) regulates many important physiological roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and it is involved in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, representing attractive potential pharmacological target for intervention.
