Repositioning VU‐0365114 as a novel microtubule‐destabilizing agent for treating cancer and overcoming drug resistance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology
Microtubule‐targeting agents represent one of the most successful classes of anticancer agents. However, the development of drug resistance and the appearance of adverse effects hamper their clinical implementation.

A novel chemogenomics analysis of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their ligands: a potential strategy for receptor de-orphanization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a family of well-characterized drug targets with significant therapeutic value. Phylogenetic classifications may help to understand the characteristics of individual GPCRs and their subtypes ...

Anticholinergic burden quantified using the Japanese risk scale as a predictor of frailty and sarcopenia among community‐dwelling older adults: A 9‐year Kashiwa cohort study

open access: yesGeriatrics &Gerontology International, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 520-527, April 2025.
Anticholinergic burden, quantified using the Japanese Anticholinergic Drug Risk Scale, may be a predictor of frailty and sarcopenia in community‐dwelling older adults. Effective evaluation and management of anticholinergic burden using the Japanese Anticholinergic Drug Risk Scale are crucial for promoting healthy aging and mitigating adverse health ...

Hippocampal Inhibitory Interneuron‐Specific DREADDs Treatment Alters mTORC1‐4E‐BP Signaling and Impairs Memory Formation

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 3, March 2025.
We used advanced tools called DREADDs (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs) to control the activity of inhibitory neurons versus excitatory neurons in the hippocampus, a region of the brain critical for learning and memory. By activating or inactivating these neurons after training, we found that disrupting their normal activity ...

Acetylcholine induces fibrogenic effects via M2/M3 ACh receptors in NASH and in primary human hepatic stellate cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), via neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (ACh), modulates fibrogenesis in animal models. However, the role of ACh in human hepatic fibrogenesis is unclear.

Memory consolidation — Mechanisms and opportunities for enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Memory consolidation is the process by which relevant information is selected and transferred from a short-term, fragile state, into a stable, longer term domain from which it can be recalled.

Multiple Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes Modulate Striatal Dopamine Release, as Studied with M1–M5Muscarinic Receptor Knock-Out Mice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2002
A proper balance between striatal muscarinic cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission is required for coordinated locomotor control. Activation of striatal muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) is known to modulate striatal dopamine release.

Muscarinic receptor blockade with oxybutynin reduces spontaneous and induced uterine muscle contractions

open access: yesPregnancy, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Objective The uterus and the bladder have striking physiologic and anatomic similarities. Anticholinergic medications are commonly used to treat “overactive bladder” by targeting M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors. The uterus also contains M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors; however, current management of preterm labor does not target these receptors.

Regulation of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases in the Rat Striatum by Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. This transmitter binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) to regulate activity of a variety of intracellular signaling molecules.
