Adreno-Muscarinic Synergy of Contractile Responses From Human Hyperplastic Prostate [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal
Purpose Adreno-muscarinic synergy, a supra-additional contractile response to simultaneous application of α-adrenoreceptor and muscarinic receptor agonists, is a feature of several lower urinary tract regions that have dual sympathetic and ...

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,

M2 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor modulates rat airway smooth muscle cell proliferation

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2013
Airways chronic inflammatory conditions in asthma and COPD are characterized by tissue remodeling, being smooth muscle hyperplasia, the most important feature.

Phase coupling between eye and brain pulsations is bidirectional and modulated by the parasympathetic system – An fMREye study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Physiological pulsations driven by cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor activity are essential for solute transport within perivascular and perineural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways that support brain and eye clearance systems. Previous studies have shown that parasympathetic blockade significantly reduces ocular pulsation power and

In silico prediction of novel effective combinational treatment of chronic pain in individual patients: A joint white paper of the H2020 QSPainRelief consortium

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Opioids are prescribed widely for chronic pain despite well‐recognised risks and variable long‐term benefit, reflecting the lack of effective alternatives for many patients. Combination therapies offer a promising strategy to enhance efficacy whilst reducing side effects.

The discovery and development of ensifentrine: A novel inhaled dual PDE3/4 inhibitor having ‘bifunctional’ bronchodilator and anti‐inflammatory activity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ensifentrine (formerly called RPL 554) is a novel, first in class, inhaled bifunctional dual PDE3/4 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. Ensifentrine exhibits both bronchodilation via PDE3 inhibition and anti‐inflammatory activity via PDE4 inhibition.

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Serotonin engages divergent 5‐HT receptor pathways for cell type‐resolved modulation of prefrontal layer 5 microcircuits

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Serotonin differentially modulates layer 5 mPFC microcircuits through cell type‐specific pre‐ and postsynaptic receptor pathways. Presynaptic 5‐HT1BRs suppress glutamate and GABA release, whereas presynaptic and postsynaptic 5‐HT3ARs enhance fast‐spiking interneuron activity, whilst distinct pyramidal neuron subtypes exhibit divergent 5‐HT1AR‐ and 5 ...
