A non-cholinergic, trophic action of acetylcholinesterase on hippocampal neurones in vitro: molecular mechanisms.
In this study neurite outgrowth from cultured hippocampal neurones was increased by addition of acetylcholinesterase acting in a non-cholinergic manner. Only monomeric acetylcholinesterase, a form of acetylcholinesterase dominant in development, increased neurite outgrowth (3-10 U/ml); moreover this effect was not blocked by active site blockers (echothiophate and galanthamine) but was sensitiv...
متن کاملNovel information on the non-neuronal cholinergic system in orthopedics provides new possible treatment strategies for inflammatory and degenerative diseases
Anti-cholinergic agents are used in the treatment of several pathological conditions. Therapy regimens aimed at up-regulating cholinergic functions, such as treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, are also currently prescribed. It is now known that not only is there a neuronal cholinergic system but also a non-neuronal cholinergic system in various parts of the body. Therefore, interfer...
متن کاملPossibility of Acetylcholinesterase Overexpression in Alzheimer Disease Patients after Therapy with Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.
Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme responsible for termination of excitatory transmission at cholinergic synapses by the hydrolyzing of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nowadays, other functions of acetylcholinesterase in the organism are considered, for example its role in regulation of apoptosis. Cholinergic nervous system as well as acetylcholinesterase activity is closely related to pathoge...
متن کاملQuinolactacins A1 and A2, new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Penicillium citrinum.
Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is the most commoncause of dementia amongthe elderly. The neurophathological evidences have demonstrated that cholinergic functions declined in the basal forebrain and cortex in senile dementia of the Alzheimer type1>2). Accordingly, enhancement of cholinergic neurotransmission have been considered as one potential therapeutic approach agai...
متن کاملCholinergic and non-cholinergic functions of two acetylcholinesterase genes revealed by gene-silencing in Tribolium castaneum
We compared biological functions of two acetylcholinesterase genes (TcAce1 and TcAce2) in Tribolium castaneum, a globally distributed major pest of stored grain products and an emerging model organism, by using RNA interference. Although both genes expressed at all developmental stages and mainly in the brain, the transcript level of TcAce1 was 1.2- to 8.7-fold higher than that of TcAce2, depen...
متن کاملDissociation between the attentional functions mediated via basal forebrain cholinergic and GABAergic neurons.
The role of basal forebrain corticopetal cholinergic projections in attentional functions has been extensively investigated. For example, 192 IgG-saporin-induced loss of cortical cholinergic inputs was repeatedly demonstrated to result in a selective impairment in the ability of rats to detect signals in a task designed to assess sustained attention performance. The loss of cortical cholinergic...
