The Evolving Landscape of Immunotoxicity: Charting Mechanisms and Future Strategies for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Adverse Events

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

Levodopa Disrupts Activity Patterns and Encoding of Movement in Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons of Behaving Mice

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Levodopa treatment, the gold standard therapy for Parkinson's disease, can lead to levodopa‐induced dyskinesias (LIDs). Recent studies in acute brain slices have implicated the neural dynamics of striatal cholinergic interneurons (CINs) in the pathophysiology of LID, reporting that their discharge becomes more bursty in dyskinetic ...

Variations in “Functional Site” Residues and Classification of Three-Finger Neurotoxins in Snake Venoms

Toxins
Three-finger toxins (3FTxs) are the largest group of nonenzymatic toxins found in snake venoms. Among them, neurotoxins that target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are the most well-studied ligands.

Mechanisms of Chronic Nicotine Treatment–Induced Enhancement of the Sensitivity of Cortical Neurons to the Neuroprotective Effect of Donepezil in Cortical Neurons

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We have previously shown that chronic donepezil treatment induces nicotinic acetylcholine receptor up-regulation and enhances the sensitivity of the neurons to the neuroprotective effect of donepezil. Further analyses revealed that the nicotinic receptor

Regulation of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Assembly

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003
Abstract: The four muscle‐type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunits, α, β, γ, and δ, assemble into functional α2βγδ pentamers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through a series of interdependent folding and oligomerization events. The first stable assembly intermediate is a trimer composed of α, β, and γ subunits.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Signatures of Progression and Phenoconversion in Prodromal Synucleinopathies

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal manifestation of synucleinopathies and provides a critical window to identify early markers of progression to Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Expression of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine in Lung Cancer Provides a New Target for Cancer

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and new treatment strategies are clearly needed. The recent discovery that lung and other cancers synthesize and secrete acetylcholine (ACh) which acts as an autocrine growth factor suggests that

Navigating Solute Carrier Transporters—A Comprehensive Review of Functionalized Small Molecule Probes for Target Identification and Characterization

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are integral membrane proteins that play pivotal roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by mediating the transport of a diverse range of substrates across cell membranes. With their involvement in fundamental physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, neurotransmitter signaling, and drug transport ...
