Biochemical studies on muscarinic cholinergic receptors [PDF]

, 2016
A novel solubilising agent (0.l% sodium cholate—lM NaCl) has been developed which will solubilise 10—30% of muscarinic cholinergic receptors from bovine caudate nucleus.

Structural determinants at the M2 muscarinic receptor modulate the RGS4-GIRK response to pilocarpine by impairment of the receptor voltage sensitivity

Scientific Reports, 2017
Membrane potential controls the response of the M2 muscarinic receptor to its ligands. Membrane hyperpolarization increases response to the full agonist acetylcholine (ACh) while decreasing response to the partial agonist pilocarpine.

Sericin-induced hypophagia mediates via M1 muscarinic, NMDA glutamate and glycine receptors in neonatal chicken [PDF]

Archives of Razi Institute
This study aimed to determine interaction between muscarinic, NMDA glutamate and glycine receptors on sericin-induced hypophagia in neonatal chicken. This study included 6 experiments with 4 groups in each with 11 repeats for each group. In experiment 1,

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

, 1992
We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Selective M3 Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist Inhibits Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Growth in a Mouse Orthotopic Xenograft Model

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: In small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), acetylcholine (ACh) is synthesized and secreted, and it acts as an autocrine growth factor through activation of its receptors, muscarinic receptor (mAChR) and nicotinic receptor (nAChR). Alteration of tumor growth

The metronomic combination of paclitaxel with cholinergic agonists inhibits triple negative breast tumor progression. Participation of M2 receptor subtype

PLoS ONE, 2020
Triple negative tumors are more aggressive than other breast cancer subtypes and there is a lack of specific therapeutic targets on them. Since muscarinic receptors have been linked to tumor progression, we investigated the effect of metronomic therapy ...

Assessment of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes in Human and Rat Lower Urinary Tract by Tissue Segment Binding Assay

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Muscarinic receptors in the human and rat lower urinary tract (urinary bladder detrusor muscle and mucosa, and prostate) were identified by intact tissue segment binding assays with two radioligands, and the effects of prolonged receptor activation in ...
