Cardiac muscarinic receptor overexpression in sudden infant death syndrome.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundSudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) remains the leading cause of death among infants less than 1 year of age. Disturbed expression of some neurotransmitters and their receptors has been shown in the central nervous system of SIDS victims but no

Cholinergic modulation of epileptiform activity in the developing rat neocortex [PDF]

, 1989
The effects of carbachol on picrotoxin-induced epileptiform activity and membrane properties of neurons in the developing rat neocortex were examined in an in vitro slice preparation.

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Probing the role of the cation–π interaction in the binding sites of GPCRs using unnatural amino acids [PDF]

, 2009
We describe a general application of the nonsense suppression methodology for unnatural amino acid incorporation to probe drug–receptor interactions in functional G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), evaluating the binding sites of both the M2 muscarinic

Evolving treatments for Sjögren disease: current approaches and emerging targets

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren disease (SjD) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune condition characterised by exocrine gland dysfunction, systemic inflammation and heterogeneous organ involvement. Current management remains largely symptomatic, with no approved disease‐modifying therapies available and substantial unmet clinical need. However, advances in understanding

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Pharmaceuticals, 2010
An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Data regarding M1 muscarinic receptor-mediated modulation of hepatic catalase activity in response to oxidative stress

Data in Brief, 2016
We recently demonstrated the role of M1 muscarinic receptors (M1R) in modulating oxidative stress in liver and hepatocytes (Urrunaga et al., 2015) [1]. Here we provide data regarding the effect of a novel M1R agonist, VU0357017 (Lebois et al., 2010) [2],

Anticholinergic Medication Burden Scales: A Systematic Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Anticholinergic burden refers to the cumulative anticholinergic effect of all medications taken by an individual. Anticholinergic burden scales help identify patients at risk of anticholinergic adverse effects and guide prescribing. However, substantial variation exists between scales, with no gold standard identified.

Normal and Pathological Tau Uptake Mediated by M1/M3 Muscarinic Receptors Promotes Opposite Neuronal Changes

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
The microtubule associated protein tau is mainly found in the cell’s cytosol but recently it was also shown in the extracellular space. In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), pathological tau spreads from neuron to neuron enhancing
