Mir-34a-5p Mediates Cross-Talk between M2 Muscarinic Receptors and Notch-1/EGFR Pathways in U87MG Glioblastoma Cells: Implication in Cell Proliferation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive human brain tumor. The high growth potential and decreased susceptibility to apoptosis of the glioma cells is mainly dependent on genetic amplifications or mutations of oncogenic or pro-apoptotic genes ...

Polypharmacy in mice disrupts left ventricular function and structure and promotes proteome reorganisation in an age‐ and sex‐specific fashion

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Most older people use polypharmacy (≥5 medications), particularly those with cardiovascular disease. The effects of polypharmacy on the cardiovascular system are not well described. We examined the effect of a chronic polypharmacy regimen on left ventricular (LV) function, structure and proteome in young and old mice of both ...

Elevated Hippocampal Cholinergic Neurostimulating Peptide precursor protein (HCNP-pp) mRNA in the amygdala in major depression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The amygdala is innervated by the cholinergic system and is involved in major depressive disorder (MDD). Evidence suggests a hyper-activate cholinergic system in MDD.

Muscarinic receptor activation in colon cancer selectively augments pro-proliferative microRNA-21, microRNA-221 and microRNA-222 expression

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Overexpression of M3 subtype muscarinic receptors (M3R) hastens colon cancer progression. As microRNA (miRNA) expression is commonly dysregulated in cancer, we used microarrays to examine miRNA profiles in muscarinic receptor agonist-treated human colon ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Beyond the Surface: Investigating the Potential Mechanisms of Non‐Motor Symptoms in Myasthenia Gravis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2025.
We review the non‐motor symptoms of MG and their potential pathogenesis, hoping to contribute to personalized diagnosis and treatment. ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), driven by T cells, mediated by B cells, and dependent on autoantibodies.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Electroacupuncture acutely improves cerebral blood flow and attenuates moderate ischemic injury via an endothelial mechanism in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Electroacupuncture (EA) is a novel therapy based on traditional acupuncture combined with modern eletrotherapy that is currently being investigated as a treatment for acute ischemic stroke.

Inside‐Out IP3‐Mediated G Protein‐Coupled Receptor Activation Drives Intercellular Ca2+ Signaling in the Vascular Endothelium

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 14, 31 July 2025.
During endothelial cell Ca2+ wave propagation, IP3 in the initiating cell activates IP3Rs on the endoplasmic reticulum, releasing Ca2+ into the cytoplasm. We show that IP3 is required for signal propagation to neighboring cells and propose that this is due to activation of membrane‐bound pore‐dead IP3Rs, as part of a noncanonical signaling inside‐out ...

Cholinergic regulation of mood: from basic and clinical studies to emerging therapeutics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mood disorders are highly prevalent and are the leading cause of disability worldwide. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying depression remain poorly understood, although theories regarding dysfunction within various neurotransmitter systems have ...
