OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to characterize comparatively the binding of imidafenacin to muscarinic receptors in the human bladder mucosa and detrusor muscle and parotid gland. METHODS The muscarinic receptor in homogenates of human tissues (bladder mucosa and detrusor muscle and parotid gland) was measured using a radioligand binding assay with [N-methyl-(3) H]scopolamine methyl chlor...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression patterns of nicotinic and muscarinic ACh receptors (nAChRs and mAChRs, respectively) in relation to one another and to understand their effects on rabbit retinal ganglion cell response properties. Double-label immunohistochemistry revealed labeled inner-retinal cell bodies and complex patterns of nAChR and mAChR expression in the inner pl...
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors modulate the activity and plasticity of the visual cortex. Muscarinic receptors are divided into five subtypes that are not homogeneously distributed throughout the cortical layers and cells types. This distribution results in complex action of the muscarinic receptors in the integration of visual stimuli. Selective activation of the different subtypes can eithe...
The molecular mechanisms through which muscarinic receptors are activated upon binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) are still poorly understood. Classical structure-function relationship studies have previously established that the ACh ester moiety plays a key role in muscarinic receptor recognition and activation. Consistent with this notion, all recently proposed three-dimensio...
1. The effectiveness of antimuscarinic agents in the treatment of the overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is thought to arise through blockade of bladder muscarinic receptors located on detrusor smooth muscle cells, as well as on nondetrusor structures. 2. Muscarinic M3 receptors are primarily responsible for detrusor contraction. Limited evidence exists to suggest that M2 receptors may have a ro...
Signaling mechanisms coupled to activation of different neurotransmitter receptors interact in the enteric nervous system. ACh excites myenteric neurons by activating nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) and muscarinic receptors expressed by the same neurons. These studies tested the hypothesis that muscarinic receptor activation alters the functional properties of nAChRs in guinea pig small intest...
Imidafenacin is a potent and selective antagonist of M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors that is safe, efficacious, and well tolerated for controlling the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). However, the precise mechanisms responsible for the bladder-selective pharmacological effects of this agent remain unclear. The in vivo pharmacologic effects of imidafenacin result from receptor occupancy. The...
Key points Stimulation of postsynaptic muscarinic receptors was shown to excite principal hippocampal neurons by modulating several membrane ion conductances. We show here that activation also causes neuronal excitation inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Muscarinic inhibition is mediated two separate signalling pathways lead downstream enhanced phosphorylation activating protein kinase C and G....
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in isolated rat pancreatic acinar cells have an apparent Mr of 88 000, which could be decreased to 46 000 by papain, as deduced by covalent binding of the specific alkylating agent [3H]propylbenzilylcholine mustard. Muscarinic receptors on papain-treated acinar cells retained the antagonist-binding site and both high- and low-affinity binding sites for the cho...
Cholinergic modification of neuronal responsiveness in auditory cortex includes alteration of spontaneous and tone-evoked neuronal discharge. Previously it was suggested that the effects of acetylcholine (ACh) and muscarinic agonists on neuronal discharge resembled those due to increases in the intensity of acoustic stimuli (Ashe et al. 1989). To determine the relationship between neuronal modi...
