Multitargeting nature of muscarinic orthosteric agonists and antagonists

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Muscarinic receptors (mAChRs) are typical members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and exist in five subtypes from M1 to M5. Muscarinic receptor subtypes do not sufficiently differ in affinity to orthosteric antagonists or agonists ...

Two Types of K⁺ Channel Subunit, Erg1 and KCNQ2/3, Contribute to the M-Like Current in a Mammalian Neuronal Cell [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The potassium M current was originally identified in sympathetic ganglion cells, and analogous currents have been reported in some central neurons and also in some neural cell lines.

Alterations in histamine responses between juvenile and adult urinary bladder urothelium, lamina propria and detrusor tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Inflammatory mediators may have a role in various lower urinary tract disorders. Histamine is known to induce significant increases in both the tension and frequency of spontaneous phasic contractions in both urothelium with lamina propria (U&LP) and

Caveolin-3 differentially orchestrates cholinergic and serotonergic constriction of murine airways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The mechanisms of controlling airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone are of utmost clinical importance as inappropriate constriction is a hallmark in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Engineered Living Systems With Self‐Organizing Neural Networks: From Anatomy to Behavior and Gene Expression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging

Muscarinic Receptor Binding of the Novel Radioligand, [3H]Imidafenacin in the Human Bladder and Parotid Gland

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: The aim of the current study was to demonstrate highly specific and direct binding activity of tritium ([3H])-labeled imidafenacin for labeling muscarinic receptors in human bladder and parotid gland.

Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

A Tac1‐Expressing Brainstem Pathway Underlies the Pathogenesis of Trigeminal Neuralgia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A critical TG‐Sp5CTac1‐PBNTac1 pathway drives trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP). Tac1‐expressing parabrachial nucleus (PBNTac1) neurons exhibit heightened responses to innocuous stimuli in TNP, and chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons effectively prevents TNP development.

Pro-inflammatory mechanisms of muscarinic receptor stimulation in airway smooth muscle

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2010
Background Acetylcholine, the primary parasympathetic neurotransmitter in the airways, plays an important role in bronchoconstriction and mucus production.

Functional characterization of three G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2023
The physiological significance of metabotropic acetylcholine receptors in parasitic nematodes remains largely unexplored. Here, three different Trichinella spiralis G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptors (TsGAR-1, -2, and -3) were identified in the ...
