Effect of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor deficiency on collagen antibody-induced arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2016
Background: There is increasing evidence that the non-neuronal cholinergic system might be of importance for the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis. The role of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) in this regard has, however, not been investigated to date.

Kv7 and K2P Potassium Channels in Thalamocortical Function and Their Therapeutic Potential in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

open access: yesArchiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Modulation of K2P and Kv7 channels has the potential to reduce hyperexcitability and hypersynchronicity within the thalamocortical system. This offers a new avenue to suppress spike and wave discharges, the electrophysiological hallmark of absence epilepsy.

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 ...

Gastric Cancer: Pathobiology and Therapeutics

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Gastric cancer is a multistep process driven by the interplay of microbial virulence, host epithelial injury, and evolving molecular reprogramming. Initiation involves pathogen‐induced epigenetic alterations and the early subversion of key oncogenic signaling networks, facilitating the transition from chronic injury to metaplasia and malignant ...

M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor-Mediated Signaling Is Regulated by Distinct Mechanisms

open access: yesMolecular Pharmacology, 2008
We have used RNA interference previously to demonstrate that G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) regulates endogenously expressed H1 histamine receptor in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. In this report, we investigate the regulation of endogenously expressed M(3) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M(3) mAChR).
