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

, 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 ...

Memetic Algorithms for Ligand Expulsion from Protein Cavities [PDF]

J. Chem. Phys. 143 (12), 124101, 2015, 2015
Ligand diffusion through proteins is a fundamental process governing biological signaling and enzymatic catalysis. The complex topology of protein tunnels results in difficulties with computing ligand escape pathways by standard molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Here, two novel methods for searching of ligand exit pathways and cavity exploration are

Presynaptic M1 muscarinic cholinoceptors mediate inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus in vitro [PDF]

, 1990
The effects of the cholinoceptor agonist, carbachol (CCh), were examined in the rat hippocampal slice preparation. Intracellular recordings from CA1 pyramidal neurones revealed that CCh (1–3 μM) inhibited excitatory postsynaptic responses evoked by ...

Inhibition of cholinergic potentiation of insulin secretion from pancreatic islets by chronic elevation of glucose and fatty acids: Protection by casein kinase 2 inhibitor

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Objectives: Chronic hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are characteristic features of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that are thought to cause or contribute to β-cell dysfunction by “glucolipotoxicity.” Previously we have shown that acute treatment of pancreatic ...

Review article: pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) involvement is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). There are no disease modifying therapies for this condition and the treatment remains symptomatic, largely owing to

A novel M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is expressed in chick atrium and ventricle.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994
Prior studies have suggested that heart expresses only the M2 isoform of the muscarinic receptor (Peralta, E.G., Ashkenazi, A., Winslow, J.W., Smith, D.H., Ramachandran, J., and Capon, D.J. (1987) EMBO J. 6, 3923-3929). Tietje and Nathanson (Tietje, K.M., and Nathanson, N. M. (1991) J. Biol. Chem.

Functional M₃ muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in mammalian hearts [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2004
In contrast to most peripheral tissues where multiple subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) coexist, with each of them playing its part in the orchestra of parasympathetic innervation, the myocardium has been traditionally considered to possess a single mAChR subtype.

Antidepressant-like Effects of Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) [PDF]

World Journal of Research and Review (WJRR) ISSN:2455-3956, Volume-4, Issue-5, May 2017 Pages 26-30, 2020
Neuropeptide SF (NPSF) is a member of RFamide neuropeptides that play diverse roles in central nervous system. Little is know about the effects of NPSF on brain functions. Antidepressant-like effect of NPSF was studied in modified mice FST. NPSF showed the antidepressant-like effects by decreasing the immobility time and increasing the climbing and ...

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

, 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.

Blockage of Cholinergic Signaling via Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor 3 Inhibits Tumor Growth in Human Colorectal Adenocarcinoma

Cancers, 2021
Simple Summary Darifenacin is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3 (M3R) antagonist in clinical use for benign bladder disorders. Here, the effects of M3R blockage by darifenacin on human colon adenocarcinoma cells are analyzed in vitro and in
