M1 Muscarinic Receptor Activation Mediates Cell Death in M1-HEK293 Cells
HEK293 cells have been used extensively to generate stable cell lines to study G protein-coupled receptors, such as muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). The activation of M1 mAChRs in various cell types in vitro has been shown to be protective. To further investigate M1 mAChR-mediated cell survival, we generated stable HEK293 cell-lines expressing the human M1 mAChR. M1 mAChRs were effi...
متن کاملActivation of the genetically defined m1 muscarinic receptor potentiates N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor currents in hippocampal pyramidal cells.
Evidence suggests that cholinergic input to the hippocampus plays an important role in learning and memory and that degeneration of cholinergic terminals in the hippocampus may contribute to the memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease. One of the more prominent effects of cholinergic agonists on hippocampal physiology is the potentiation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor currents ...
متن کاملMuscarinic M1 receptor agonists: can they improve cognitive performance?
Due to their potential roles in the pathophysiologies of a number of central nervous system disorders such as depression (Dilsaver, 1986), schizophrenia (Raedler et al. 2006), Alzheimer’s disease (Araujo et al. 1988) and Parkinson’s disease (Ruberg et al. 1982), modulation of the muscarinic system has been a focus of drug discovery for decades. Particular attention has been paid to developing l...
متن کاملFlavonoids with M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor binding activity.
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-active compounds have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, a series of natural and synthetic flavones and flavonols was assayed in vitro for their ability to inhibit radioligand binding at human cloned M1 muscarinic receptors. Several compounds were found to possess competitive binding affinity (Ki=40-110 µM), comparable to that of...
متن کاملThe activation of M1 muscarinic receptor signaling induces neuronal differentiation in pyramidal hippocampal neurons.
Muscarinic receptors have been proposed to play an important role during brain development by regulating cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. This study investigated the effect of muscarinic receptor activation on prenatal rat hippocampal pyramidal neuron differentiation and the signal transduction pathways involved in this effect. The cholinergic agonist carbachol, after 24 h in ...
