Acetylcholine enhances keratocyte proliferation through muscarinic receptor activation.

Acetylcholine (ACh), a classical neurotransmitter, has been shown to be present in various non-neuronal cells, including cells of the eye, such as corneal epithelium and endothelium, and to have widespread physiological effects such as cytoskeleton reorganization, cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ACh on corneal kerato...

Structure and activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

A homology model of the M(1) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, based on the X-ray structure of bovine rhodopsin, has been used to interpret the results of scanning and point mutagenesis studies on the receptor's transmembrane (TM) domain. Potential intramolecular interactions that are important for the stability of the protein fold have been identified. The residues contributing to the binding...

Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Regulates Phosphatidylcholine Phospholipase

The hydrolytic activity of phosphatidylcholine phospholipase D in the synaptosomes from canine brain was examined using a radiochemical assay with 1,Z-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoryl[3H]choline as the exogenous substrate. The involvement of G protein(s) in regulation of this enzyme was demonstrated by a 2to %fold stimulation of the basal activity (4.81 2 0.44 nmol choline released/mg prote...

Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors enhances the release of endogenous cannabinoids in the hippocampus.

Endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) are endogenous compounds that resemble the active ingredient of marijuana and activate the cannabinoid receptor in the brain. They mediate retrograde signaling from principal cells to both inhibitory ["depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition" (DSI)] and excitatory ("depolarization-induced suppression of excitation") afferent fibers. Transient ...

Acetylcholine acts through M3 muscarinic receptor to activate the EGFR signaling and promotes gastric cancer cell proliferation

Acetylcholine (ACh), known as a neurotransmitter, regulates the functions of numerous fundamental central and peripheral nervous system. Recently, emerging evidences indicate that ACh also plays an important role in tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the role of ACh in gastric cancer. Here, we reported that ACh could be auto-synthesized and released from MKN45 and BGC823 gastric canc...
