Expression and Function of the Cholinergic System in Immune Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
T and B cells express most cholinergic system components—e.g., acetylcholine (ACh), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), acetylcholinesterase, and both muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors (mAChRs and nAChRs, respectively).

Dopamine Signaling in Dorsal Versus Ventral Striatum: The Dynamic Role of Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]

, 2011
Mesostriatal dopaminergic neurons and striatal cholinergic interneurons participate in signaling the motivational signifcance of environmental stimuli and regulate striatal plasticity. Dopamine (DA) and acetylcholine (ACh) have potent interactions within

Spirocyclic Diamine Scaffolds for Medicinal Chemistry

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
Here we enumerated 391 spirocyclic diamine drug scaffolds with ring sizes four to eight and found that most of them are unknown. We prepared four novel such spirocycles and discovered a micromolar inhibitor of the M4 muscarinic receptor. ABSTRACT Medicinal chemistry requires the exploration of structurally diverse compound families to expand the ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

ATP and Odor Mixture Activate TRPM5-Expressing Microvillous Cells and Potentially Induce Acetylcholine Release to Enhance Supporting Cell Endocytosis in Mouse Main Olfactory Epithelium

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The main olfactory epithelium (MOE) functions to detect odor molecules, provide an epithelial surface barrier, and remove xenobiotics from inhaled air.

Accumbal Cholinergic Interneurons Differentially Influence Motivation Related to Satiety Signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Satiety, rather than all or none, can instead be viewed as a cumulative decrease in the drive to eat that develops over the course of a meal. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is known to play a critical role in this type of value reappraisal, but the ...

Gene expression of muscarinic, tachykinin and purinergic receptors in porcine bladder: comparison with cultured cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Urothelial cells, myofibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells are important cell types contributing to bladder function. Multiple receptors including muscarinic (M3/M5), tachykinin (NK1/NK2) and purinergic (P2X1/P2Y6) receptors are involved in bladder motor ...

Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]

, 2011
Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...

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

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 19, Page 4625-4646, October 2025.
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 ...

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection

Pharmacological Research
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...
