M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors regulate epithelial–mesenchymal transition, perineural invasion, and migration/metastasis in cholangiocarcinoma through the AKT pathway

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2018
Background Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor type that is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy due to aggressive perineural invasion and metastasis.

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Acetylcholine-treated murine dendritic cells promote inflammatory lung injury.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
In recent years a non-neuronal cholinergic system has been described in immune cells, which is often usually activated during the course of inflammatory processes. To date, it is known that Acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter extensively expressed in

Investigation of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor expression in placentas of smoking women

open access: yesPerinatal Journal
Objective: This study examined M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor expression in placentas of women who smoked during pregnancy and explored the affected signaling pathways via network and functional annotation analyses. Methods: Placenta samples from 45 control subjects and 45 individuals who smoked during pregnancy were fixed in zinc-formalin and em-

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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.
