Acetylcholine muscarinic M2 receptor maintains human Schwann-like adipose-derived phenotype in the absence of differentiating medium

Cell Death Discovery
Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), differentiated in vitro towards Schwann-like phenotype (hdASCs), have been suggested as an alternative source of Schwann cells (SCs).

Dopamine D_2-receptor activation elicits akinesia, rigidity, catalepsy, and tremor in mice expressing hypersensitive 4 nicotinic receptors via a cholinergic-dependent mechanism [PDF]

, 2010
Recent studies suggest that high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α4 and β2 subunits (α4β2*) functionally interact with G-protein-coupled dopamine (DA) D_2 receptors in basal ganglia.

Role of K+ Channels in M2 Muscarinic Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Noradrenaline Release From the Rat Stomach

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Previously we reported the cholinergic M2 muscarinic receptor-mediated inhibition of noradrenaline release from the rat stomach (K. Yokotani, Y. Osumi. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1993;264:54–60).

Steady‐State Pharmacokinetic Properties of TNX‐102 SL, a Sublingual Tablet Formulation of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride (HCl), With Daily Dosing in Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized, Open‐Label Trial

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This single‐center, open‐label, randomized, multiple‐dose, pharmacokinetic bridging study was conducted to compare systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) of a sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (TNX‐102 SL, approved as TONMYA) at steady‐state with that of an approved reference product, an oral, extended‐release (ER ...

Muscarinic M2 receptor promotes vasopressin synthesis in mice supraoptic nuclei [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2018
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been suggested to be implicated in arginine–vasopressin secretion because intracerebroventricular muscarinic agonist administration induces arginine–vasopressin release into the circulation. Although which subtype is involved in the regulation of arginine–vasopressin secretion is unclear, M2 receptors have been ...

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]

, 2013
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...

Inhibitory Effect of Lidocaine on Duodenal Peristalsis During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional antispasmodics used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), such as hyoscine butylbromide and glucagon, are often contraindicated in elderly patients with comorbidities. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of lidocaine for inhibiting duodenal peristalsis during ERCP.

Carbachol-Induced Secretion and Homologous Desensitization in Rat Basophilic Leukemia (RBL-2H3) Cells Transfected With Human m2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Carbachol (CCh) caused a dose-dependent release of β-hexosaminidase and an increase in the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in RBL-2H3 cells transfected with m2 mAChR cDNA (RBL-m2 cells).

Benzonidazole therapy modulates interferon-γ and M2 muscarinic receptor autoantibody responses in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected children. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
OBJECTIVE: The presence of autoantibodies with adrenergic and cholinergic activity, capable of triggering neurotransmitter receptor-mediated effects, has been associated with pathogenesis in T. cruzi-infected hosts.
