The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype is important for retinal neuron survival in aging mice

Scientific Reports, 2019
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been implicated as potential neuroprotective targets for glaucoma. We tested the hypothesis that the lack of a single muscarinic receptor subtype leads to age-dependent neuron reduction in the retinal ganglion cell

Computational Evaluation of Substituted 2-Aminopyrimidine Schiff Bases as Potential Antidepressant Targeting the Muscarinic Acetylcholine M5 Receptor

Journal of Neonatal Surgery
The effectiveness of existing treatments for depression, a complicated mental health condition that affects people all over the world, is limited. The ability of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype M5 (M5 mAChR) to modulate dopaminergic and cholinergic pathways has made it a unique target in the search for antidepressant drugs. This work used

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.

Novel aspects of cholinergic regulation of colonic ion transport [PDF]

, 2015
Nicotinic receptors are not only expressed by excitable tissues, but have been identified in various epithelia. One aim of this study was to investigate the expression of nicotinic receptors and their involvement in the regulation of ion transport across

Physiological functions of the cholinergic system in immune cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
T and B cells, macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) all express most of the components necessary for a functional cholinergic system. This includes choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (mAChRs and ...

Activation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtype 4 is Essential for Cholinergic Stimulation of Gastric Acid Secretion - Relation To D Cell/Somatostatin -

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
Background/Aim: Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors exist in five subtypes (M1~M5), and they are widely expressed in various tissues to mediate diverse autonomic functions, including gastric secretion.

Evidence for Respiratory Neuromodulator Interdependence after Cholinergic Disruption in the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]

, 2015
Reverse dialysis of the muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine (ATR, 50 mM), into the pre-Bötzinger Complex region of the ventral respiratory column (VRC) of awake and sleeping goats increases breathing frequency and serotonin (5-HT), substance P (SP),

Synergistic Antiemetic Effects of Nerolidol on Domperidone, Hyoscine, and Ondansetron: In Vivo and in Silico Investigations on Receptor Binding Affinity. [PDF]

ChemistryOpen
Nerolidol shows prominent antiemetic activity and mitigates CuSO4.H2O‐mediated retching in chicks efficiently through its peripheral action. Additionally, the in silico studies have also shown possible antiemetic effects with greater binding affinity against muscarinic (specially, M2 and M3) and dopaminergic receptors.

Activation of Muscarinic M1 Acetylcholine Receptors Induces Long-Term Potentiation in the Hippocampus [PDF]

, 2015
Muscarinic M1 acetylcholine receptors (M1Rs) are highly expressed in the hippocampus, and their inhibition or ablation disrupts the encoding of spatial memory.
