Abstract:
Acetylcholine (ACh), acting at muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChRs), modulates the excitability and synaptic connectivity of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. CA1 pyramidal neurons respond to transient (“phasic”) mAChR activation with biphasic responses in which inhibition is followed by excitation, whereas prolonged (“tonic”) mAChR activation increases CA1 neuron excitability. Both phasic and tonic mAChR activation excites pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region, yet ACh suppresses glutamate release at the CA3-to-CA1 synapse (the Schaffer–collateral pathway).

Muscarinic agonists acetylcholine (ACh; 10 μM), muscarine (Musc; 20 μM), and oxotremorine methiodide (OxoM; 0.001–20 μM) elicited transient repeatable increases in the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in ∼50% of cells.

M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are abundant in postsynaptic nerve terminals of all forebrain regions and have been implicated in the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other CNS pathologies.

However, protocols for the preparation of 18F-labeled mAChR-ligands have not been published so far. Here, we describe a straightforward procedure for the preparation of an

Here, the involvement of submandibular gland muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) M4 subtype is proposed as an IgG target together with M1 and M3 mAChR subtypes. The Kd values were total membranes 0.20 ± 0.017 nM; acini membranes 0.33 ± 0.023 nM and duct membranes 0.22 ± 0.040 nM and Bmax values were total, 1038 ± 24, acini, 1359 ± 28 and ducts, 593 ± 30. The rank order of Bmax was: acini > total > ducts, indicating that acini express the highest number of binding sites

Preclinical studies have implicated cholinergic neurotransmission, specifically M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activation, in sleep-associated memory consolidation. In the present study, we investigated the effects of administering the direct M1 mAChR agonist RS-86 on pre-post sleep memory consolidation. Twenty healthy human participants were tested in a declarative word-list task and a procedural mirror-tracing task. RS-86 significantly reduced rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency and slow wave sleep (SWS) duration in comparison with placebo. Presleep acquisition and postsleep

Abstract:
Clathrin and caveolins are known for their involvement in the internalization of numerous receptors. Here we show that in polarized epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, both the clathrin machinery and caveolins are involved in the endocytosis and delivery to the plasma membrane (PM) of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). We initially localized this receptor to the lateral membrane, where it accumulates proximal to the tight junctions. From there it is internalized through the clathrin-mediated pathway. In addition, the receptor may associate on the PM with caveolin (cav) 2

Abstract:
Acetylcholine is an important regulator of local cerebral blood flow. There is, however, limited information available on the possible sites of action of this neurotransmitter on brain intraparenchymal microvessels. In this study, a combination of molecular and functional approaches was used to identify which of the five muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) are present in human brain microvessels and their intimately associated astroglial cells. Microvessel and capillary fractions isolated from human cerebral cortex were found by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to express

Abstract:
Recent pharmacological studies exploring the functional roles of muscarinic cholinergic receptor (mAChR) subtypes in prefrontal cortex of C57BL/6J (B6) mouse have provided evidence for a presynaptic M2 autoreceptor. The B6 mouse was chosen for these studies because it is a genetically well-characterized model that also provides the genomic background for many genetically modified mice. In addition to increasing ACh release, one functional consequence of pharmacologically blocking the cortical M2 autoreceptor is activation of the contralateral prefrontal cortical EEG.

Analysis of competitive displacement of ([3H]NMS binding by pirenzepine demonstrated the presence of M1- (27 +/- 2%) and M2G- (73 +/- 2%) receptors on isolated tracheal submucosal gland cells (TSGC's) in control.

In this paper, we investigate the role of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) activity in the regulation of inducible (i) nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and activity. The signaling pathway involved is also examined. These experiments also provide a link between mAChR activation and the nitric oxide (NO)-dependent regulation of retinal vascular diameter. The diameter of the retinal vessels at a distance of 1 disc diameter from the center of the optic disc was measured in rats using digital retinal photography, and both iNOS-mRNA gene expression and NOS were specifically measured
