Molecular Cloning of m3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Rat Iris.

Journal of Smooth Muscle Research, 1998
Muscarinic receptor subtypes that involved in cholinergic responses in rat iris were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. mRNAs encoding m2, m3, and m4 subtypes were abundantly expressed in iris, whereas m1 and m5 subtypes were not detected.

Anti-M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antibodies and Sjögren's syndrome

Japanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2013
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands including salivary and lacrimal glands. It is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into exocrine glands, leading to dry mouth and eyes. A number of auto-antibodies are detected in patients with SS. However, no SS-specific pathologic auto-antibodies have yet been found in

The M3 muscarinic receptor is required for optimal adaptive immunity to helminth and bacterial infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Innate immunity is regulated by cholinergic signalling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We show here that signalling through the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) plays an important role in adaptive immunity to both Nippostrongylus ...

Calcium Mobilization by Activation of M3/M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Human Retinoblastoma

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in the human body. In this study, we investigated the role of mAChR activation in relation to its subtypes in human retinoblastoma cell ...

Muscarinic cannabinoid suppression of excitation, a novel form of coincidence detection

Pharmacological Research
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chief psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, acts in the brain primarily via cannabinoid CB1 receptors. These receptors are implicated in several forms of synaptic plasticity – depolarization-induced suppression of ...

Autoantibodies to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors found in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis

BMC Gastroenterology, 2010
Background Autoantibodies to the human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor of the M3 type (hmAchR M3) have been suggested to play an etiopathogenic role in Sjögren's syndrome.

Molecular mechanisms for fetal cardiac arrhythmia in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

, 2010
Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy (ICP) is characterized by raised serum bile acids which can cause fetal complications, including preterm labour and intrauterine death. The fetal death in ICP is not well understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms of

Deepening insights into cholinergic agents for intraocular pressure reduction: systems genetics, molecular modeling, and in vivo perspectives

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Parasympathetic activation in the anterior eye segment regulates various physiological functions. This process, mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, also impacts intraocular pressure (IOP) through the trabecular meshwork. While FDA-approved M3
