Evaluation of Ca2+ permeability of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in hypothalamic histaminergic neurons.
Hypothalamic histaminergic tuberomammillary (TM) neurons express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with kinetic and pharmacological properties resembling those of highly Ca(2+) permeable alpha7 nAChRs. However, the Ca(2+) permeability of TM nAChR channels has not been determined. To directly evaluate the Ca(2+) permeability of TM nAChRs, patch-clamp recordings were conducted using non-...

متن کاملModulation of cerebral microvascular permeability by endothelial nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Nicotine increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in vivo. This implies a possible role for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the regulation of cerebral microvascular permeability. Expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits in cerebral microvessels was investigated with immunofluorescence microscopy. Positive immunoreactivity was found for receptor subunits alpha3, ...
متن کاملAcetylcholine increases intracellular Ca2+ via nicotinic receptors in cultured PDF-containing clock neurons of Drosophila.
Light entrains the biological clock both in adult and larval Drosophila melanogaster. The Bolwig organ photoreceptors most likely constitute one substrate for this light entrainment in larvae. Acetylcholine (ACh) has been suggested as the neurotransmitter in these photoreceptors, but there is no evidence that ACh signaling is involved in photic input onto circadian pacemaker neurons. Here we de...
متن کاملModulation of Basal Glutamatergic Transmission by Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Rat Hippocampal Slices
Objective(s) Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) regulate epileptiform activity and produce a sustained pro-epileptogenic action within the hippocampal slices. In the present study, we investigated the effect of nAChRs on evoked glutamatergic synaptic transmission in area CA3 and CA1 of rat hippocampal slices to identify possible excitatory circuits through which activation of nAChRs pr...
