We investigated the molecular nature of the interaction between the functionally selective M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist xanomeline and the human M1 mAChR expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In contrast to the non-subtype-selective agonist carbachol, xanomeline demonstrated M1 mAChR binding that was resistant to extensive washout, resulting in a significant re...
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of various muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonists, including selective M2 and M3 mAChR antagonists, on bladder overactivity. It has been proposed that the urothelium modulates the activity of bladder afferent pathways. However, the differential roles of mAChR subtypes in local bladder afferent activation remain unclear. METHODS Cystometry w...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE M1 muscarinic ACh receptors (mAChRs) represent an attractive drug target for the treatment of cognitive deficits associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. However, the discovery of subtype-selective mAChR agonists has been hampered by the high degree of conservation of the orthosteric ACh-binding site among mAChR subtypes. The advent of funct...
We present the first evidence that adhesion mediated by a member of the cadherin gene family can be regulated by a G protein-coupled receptor. We show that activating the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) rapidly induces E-cadherin-mediated adhesion in a small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell line. This response is inhibited by E-cadherin antibodies, and does not occur in another SCLC...
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) are known to mediate the acetylcholine inhibition of Ca 2+ channels in central and peripheral neurons. Stellate ganglion (SG) neurons provide the main sympathetic input to the heart and contribute to the regulation of heart rate and myocardial contractility. Little information is available regarding mAChR regulation of Ca 2+ channels in SG neurons. The...
Short term exposure of m2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (m2 mAChRs) to agonist causes a rapid phosphorylation of the activated receptors, followed by a profound loss in the ability of the m2 mAChR to activate its signaling pathways. We have used site-directed mutagenesis to identify two clusters of Ser/Thr residues in the third intracellular loop of the m2 mAChR that can serve as redundant...
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is engaged in modulation of memory retention after (fear) conditioning, but it is unknown which pathways and neurotransmitter system(s) play a role in this action. Here we examine immunocytochemically whether muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), mediating cholinergic signal transduction in the SCN, are involved. For this purpose, mAChR immunoreactivity ...
Two dimeric analogs of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist phenylpropargyloxy-1,2,5-thiadiazole-quinuclidine (NNC 11-1314) were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. In radioligand binding assays on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell membranes expressing the individual human M(1) to M(5) mAChR subtypes, both dimers [(3S)-1,4-bis-(3-[(3-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanyl)-1,2,5-thia...
Although the M(2) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) is the predominant functional mAChR subtype in the heart, some responses of the cardiovascular system to acetylcholine (ACh) may be mediated by other mAChR subtypes. The potential effect of M(1) mAChR on heart function was investigated using M(1) knockout (M(1)-KO) mice. In vivo cardiodynamic analysis showed that basal values of heart ...
Cholinergic inputs into the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are associated with attention and cognition; however there is evidence that acetylcholine also has a role in PFC dependent learning and memory. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in the PFC can induce synaptic plasticity, but the underlying mechanisms remain either opaque or unresolved. We have characterized a form of mAChR mediated lo...
