Subunit-dependent modulation of kainate receptors by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
Interactions between cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmitter systems influence synaptic transmission and plasticity. While previous studies have examined cross-talk between acetylcholine (ACh) and NMDA or AMPA receptors, little is known about the effect of ACh on kainate receptors (KARs). We show that stimulation of m1 or m3 muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChRs) for 2min potentiates recombin...
متن کاملAlcohol Modulation of Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Is Subunit Dependent
Background: We have previously shown that n-alcohols exert a dual action on the 4 2-type neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (AChRs), with shorter-chain alcohols potentiating and longerchain alcohols inhibiting ACh-induced currents. Ethanol potentiates the current in 4 2 receptors, yet it has little or no effect on the 3 2 receptors. Because the 4 AChRs are present predominantly in...
متن کاملSubunit composition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors from chick ciliary ganglia.
Nicotinic ACh receptors were immunoaffinity-purified from chick ciliary ganglia, radioiodinated, and examined by SDS-PAGE. Components with Mr's of 49, 52, and 60 kDa were obtained. Limited proteolysis produced different peptide maps from the components, confirming the 3 as distinct species. All are glycoproteins since treatment with glycopeptidase F altered their migration during electrophoresi...
متن کاملNicotinic acetylcholine receptors in mitochondria: subunit composition, function and signaling
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of neuronal type not only mediate the fast synaptic transmission, but also modulate proliferation, cytokine or transmitter release and survival in both excitable and non-excitable cells. Recent studies clearly indicate that these receptors can stimulate intracellular signaling in ion-independent manner. Classically, the nAChRs were attributed exclusive...
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...
