Based on the existence of choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholine in human placenta, we have investigated the presence of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in brush-border and basal plasma membranes from human term placenta. Radioligand binding assay, using [3H]N-methyl-scopolamine as tracer, showed the existence of acetylcholine muscarinic receptors in brush-border (Kd 0.28 +/- 0.04 nM; B...
This study examined cross talk between phospholipase C-coupled muscarinic M(3) and bradykinin B(2) receptors coexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Agonists of either receptor enhanced phosphoinositide signaling (which rapidly desensitized) and caused protein kinase C (PKC)-independent, homologous receptor phosphorylation. Muscarinic M(3) but not bradykinin B(2) receptors were also p...
Epibatidine, a neurotoxin isolated from the skin of Epipedobates tricolor, is an efficacious antinociceptive agent with a potency 200 times that of morphine. The toxicity of epibatidine, because of its nonspecificity for both peripheral and central nicotinic receptors, precludes its development as an analgesic. During the synthesis of epibatidine analogs we developed potent antinociceptive agen...
Incubation of 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells with carbachol resulted in a rapid loss of binding of [3H]N-methylscopolamine ([3H]NMS) to muscarinic cholinergic receptors measured at 4 degrees C on intact cells; loss of muscarinic receptors in lysates from the same cells measured with [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate [( 3H]QNB) at 37 degrees C occurred at a slower rate. Upon removal of agonist from th...
Administration of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), an organophosphorus (OP) compound, irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and results in cholinergic hyperactivity. This study investigated muscarinic and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor changes in visual cortex of cats following an acute exposure to DFP. A single acute administration of DFP (4 mg/kg) decreased the number of...
Karczmar AG.. Story of Muscarinic Receptors, Alkaloids with Muscarinic Significance and of Muscarinic Functions and Behaviors. Annu Rev Biomed Sci 2009;11:T1-T50. This review of the studies of the muscarinic receptors, their synaptic activities and their functional and behavioral roles will begin with the history of the research of the autonomic and central nervous systems and their transmitter...
PURPOSE To study the presence of muscarinic and alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors in a normal human conjunctival epithelial (IOBA-NHC) cell line. METHODS Neurotransmitter receptors were determined in IOBA-NHC cells by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and Western blot analysis. Antibodies to M(1)-, M(2)-, and M(3)-muscarinic and to alpha(1A)-, alpha(1B)-, alpha(1D)-, alpha(2A)-, alpha(2B...
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor of porcine cerebrum has been purified to apparent homogeneity by affinity chromatography, with conjugated 3-(2'-aminobenzhydryloxy)tropane (ABT) as described previously (Haga, K., and Haga, T. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13575-13579). In a single step purification using 900 ml of digitonin/cholate-solubilized preparations and 300 ml of the ABT-agarose gel, w...
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors exert slow and prolonged synaptic effects in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. Through activation of G proteins, they typically decrease intracellular cAMP levels by inhibition of adenylate cyclase or stimulate phospholipase C and the turnover of inositol phosphates. In insects, muscarinic receptors have been credited with two main functions: i...
Cocultures of neurons and astrocytes from the rat striatum were used to determine whether the stimulation of neuronal receptors could affect the level of intercellular communication mediated by gap junctions in astrocytes. The costimulation of N-methyl-D-asparte (NMDA) and muscarinic receptors led to a prominent reduction of astrocyte gap junctional communication (GJC) in coculture. This treatm...
