Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors modulate osteoclastogenesis
BACKGROUND Our aim was to investigate the role of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in in-vitro osteoclastogenesis and in in-vivo bone homeostasis. METHODS The presence of nAChR subunits as well as the in-vitro effects of nAChR agonists were investigated by ex vivo osteoclastogenesis assays, real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and flow cytometry in murine bone marrow-de...
متن کاملHigh-Affinity Nicotinic Receptors Modulate Spontaneous Cortical Up States In Vitro.
UNLABELLED Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play an important role in the modulation of many cognitive functions but their role in integrated network activity remains unclear. This is at least partly because of the complexity of the cholinergic circuitry and the difficulty in comparing results from in vivo studies obtained under diverse experimental conditions and types of anesthetics...
متن کاملEarly Signs of Pathological Cognitive Aging in Mice Lacking High-Affinity Nicotinic Receptors
In order to address pathological cognitive decline effectively, it is critical to adopt early preventive measures in individuals considered at risk. It is therefore essential to develop approaches that identify such individuals before the onset of irreversible dementia. A deficient cholinergic system has been consistently implicated as one of the main factors associated with a heightened vulner...
متن کاملHow do central mineralocorticoid receptors modulate blood pressure?
TIME WAS, and sometimes still is for those with a nephrocentric world view, when the way aldosterone elevated blood pressure was simple: renal sodium and water retention, increased blood volume causing increased cardiac output, reflex vasoconstriction, and normalization of cardiac output. We now know that aldosterone has direct vasoconstrictor effects on the vascular wall and, thanks in no smal...
متن کاملBehavioral/Systems/Cognitive 4* Nicotinic Receptors in preBötzinger Complex Mediate Cholinergic/Nicotinic Modulation of Respiratory Rhythm
Acetylcholine and nicotine can modulate respiratory patterns by acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the preBötzinger complex (preBötC). To further explore the molecular composition of these nAChRs, we studied a knock-in mouse strain with a leucine-to-alanine mutation in the M2 pore-lining region (L9 A) of the nAChR 4 subunit; this mutation renders 4-containing receptors hype...
