Muscarinic receptor signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD

Respiratory Research, 2006
Anticholinergics are widely used for the treatment of COPD, and to a lesser extent for asthma. Primarily used as bronchodilators, they reverse the action of vagally derived acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle contraction.

Mir-34a-5p Mediates Cross-Talk between M2 Muscarinic Receptors and Notch-1/EGFR Pathways in U87MG Glioblastoma Cells: Implication in Cell Proliferation [PDF]

, 2018
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive human brain tumor. The high growth potential and decreased susceptibility to apoptosis of the glioma cells is mainly dependent on genetic amplifications or mutations of oncogenic or pro-apoptotic genes ...

KV7 Channels Regulate Firing during Synaptic Integration in GABAergic Striatal Neurons

Neural Plasticity, 2015
Striatal projection neurons (SPNs) process motor and cognitive information. Their activity is affected by Parkinson’s disease, in which dopamine concentration is decreased and acetylcholine concentration is increased.

Bitopic binding mode of an M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist associated with adverse clinical trial outcomes [PDF]

, 2018
The realisation of the therapeutic potential of targeting the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1 mAChR) for the treatment of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease has prompted the discovery of M1 mAChR ligands showing efficacy in alleviating ...

Efficacy of ASA Therapy After Desensitization on CRSwNP Patients With Asthma and N‐ERD—A Randomized Clinical Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
This randomized double‐blind clinical trial investigated the impact of aspirin therapy after desensitization in patients with CRSwNP, asthma, and N‐ERD. Various clinical outcomes were assessed, including health‐related quality of life (with the SNOT‐22 questionnaire) and the severity of nasal polyposis (with the NPS).

The Forefront for Novel Therapeutic Agents Based on the Pathophysiology of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Bladder Selectivity Based on In Vivo Drug–Receptor Binding Characteristics of Antimuscarinic Agents for Treatment of Overactive Bladder

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We have reviewed the binding of antimuscarinic agents, used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder, to muscarinic receptors in target and non-target tissues in vivo.

The involvement of cholinergic neurons in the spreading of tau pathology

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Long time ago, it was described the selective loss of cholinergic neurons during the development of Alzheimer disease. Recently, it has been suggested that tau protein may play a role in that loss of cholinergic neurons through a mechanism involving the ...

Structural insights into the subtype-selective antagonist binding to the M2 muscarinic receptor

Nature Chemical Biology, 2018
Human muscarinic receptor M2 is one of the five subtypes of muscarinic receptors belonging to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Muscarinic receptors are targets for multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

A G protein-gated K channel is activated via beta 2-adrenergic receptors and G beta gamma subunits in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]

, 1995
In many tissues, inwardly rectifying K channels are coupled to seven- helix receptors via the Gi/Go family of heterotrimeric G proteins. This activation proceeds at least partially via G beta gamma subunits.

Two‐year changes of macular choroidal thickness in response to 0.01% atropine eye drops: Results from the myopia outcome study of atropine in children (MOSAIC) clinical trial

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate 2‐year changes in macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in children receiving 0.01% atropine eyedrops and its relationship with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AL) elongation. Methods A total of 250 myopic children aged 6–16 years (167%–0.01% atropine, 83‐placebo) were enrolled in the ...
