Cholinergic Signaling via Muscarinic Receptors Directly and Indirectly Suppresses Pancreatic Tumorigenesis and Cancer Stemness

open access: yesCancer Discovery, 2018
In many solid tumors, parasympathetic input is provided by the vagus nerve, which has been shown to modulate tumor growth. However, whether cholinergic signaling directly regulates progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has not been ...

Cholinergic Signaling, Neural Excitability, and Epilepsy

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Epilepsy is a common brain disorder characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures with neuronal hyperexcitability. Apart from the classical imbalance between excitatory glutamatergic transmission and inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acidergic transmission ...

Corelease of acetylcholine and GABA from cholinergic forebrain neurons

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Neurotransmitter corelease is emerging as a common theme of central neuromodulatory systems. Though corelease of glutamate or GABA with acetylcholine has been reported within the cholinergic system, the full extent is unknown.

Beta-adrenergic and M-cholinergic receptor interactions in the pathogenesis of bronchial obstructive pulmonary diseases [PDF]

open access: yesКлиническая практика, 2020
The crosstalk between the beta-2-adrenoceptor and M- cholinoreceptor systems in the airways plays one of the main roles in the pathogenesis of bronchoobstructive diseases.

An original potentiating mechanism revealed by the cryo-EM structures of the human α7 nicotinic receptor in complex with nanobodies

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The human α7 nicotinic receptor is a pentameric channel mediating cellular and neuronal communication. It has attracted considerable interest in designing ligands for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. To develop a novel class of α7

Cholinergic Modulation of Neuroinflammation: Focus on α7 Nicotinic Receptor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
All nervous system pathologies (e.g., neurodegenerative/demyelinating diseases and brain tumours) develop neuroinflammation, a beneficial process during pathological events, aimed at removing damaged cells, toxic agents, and/or pathogens.

Regulators of cholinergic signaling in disorders of the central nervous system

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2021
Cholinergic signaling is crucial in cognitive processes, and degenerating cholinergic projections are a pathological hallmark in dementia. Use of cholinesterase inhibitors is currently the main treatment option to alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's ...

Mitochondrial Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Support Liver Cells Viability After Partial Hepatectomy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed on the cell plasma membrane are ligand-gated ion channels mediating fast synaptic transmission, regulating neurotransmitter and cytokine release and supporting the viability of many cell types.
