Terminally Differentiated Epithelial Cells of the Thymic Medulla and Skin Express Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit α3
In the thymus, T cell maturation is influenced by cholinergic signaling, and the predominantly expressed receptor is the α3-subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, encoded by the chrna3 gene. We here determined its cellular distribution utilizing an appropriate eGFP-expressing reporter mouse strain. Neither T cells (CD4, CD8) nor mesenchymal cells (desmin-positive) expressed eGFP. In the ...
متن کاملRic-3 promotes functional expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 subunit in mammalian cells.
Expression of functional, recombinant alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in several mammalian cell types, including HEK293 cells, has been problematic. We have isolated the recently described human ric-3 cDNA and co-expressed it in Xenopus oocytes and HEK293 cells with the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 subunit. In addition to confirming the previously reported effect on al...
متن کاملMouse muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gamma subunit: cDNA sequence and gene expression.
Clones coding for the mouse nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) gamma subunit precursor have been selected from a cDNA library derived from a mouse myogenic cell line and sequenced. The deduced protein sequence consists of a signal peptide of 22 amino acid residues and a mature gamma subunit of 497 amino acid residues. There is a high degree of sequence conservation between this mouse seque...
متن کاملRare human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α4 subunit (CHRNA4) variants affect expression and function of high-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Nicotine, the primary psychoactive component in tobacco smoke, produces its behavioral effects through interactions with neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). α4β2 nAChRs are the most abundant in mammalian brain, and converging evidence shows that this subtype mediates the rewarding and reinforcing effects of nicotine. A number of rare variants in the CHRNA4 gene that encode the ...
