muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle from the body of human stomach
Authors
abstract
up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (m1, m2, m3 and m4). in our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and ahr -602 produced concentration-dependent tonic contractions of isolated preparations of both longitudinal and circular muscle layers. only pilocarpine increased the amplitude of spontaneous contractions of circular muscle preparations. atropine, trihexyphenidyl, pirenzepine, telenzepine, hexocyclium, gallamine and scopolamine butylbromide concentration-dependently blocked tonic contractions of isolated preparations of both circular and longitudinal muscle layers caused by acetylcholine. pancuronium did not block tonic contractions caused by acetylcholine, while para-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol (pfhhsid) produced weak concentration-dependent blockade of tonic contractions caused by acetylcholine in circular muscle preparations only. the most potent antagonists were m1 selective antagonists: trihexyphenidyl, telenzepine and hexocyclium. these results suggested a predominance of the m1 muscarinic receptor subtype in smooth muscle of the human stomach.

MUSCARINIC RECEPTOR SUBTYPES IN SMOOTH MUSCLE FROM THE BODY OF HUMAN STOMACH
Up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3 and M4).

full textPharmacological and molecular characterization of muscarinic receptor subtypes in human esophageal smooth muscle.
Esophageal peristalsis is dependent on activation of muscarinic receptors, but little is known about the roles of specific receptor subtypes in the human esophagus. We examined muscarinic receptor expression and function in human esophageal smooth muscle obtained from patients undergoing resection for cancer. [(3)H]Quinuclidinyl benzylate (QNB)-specific binding was similar in longitudinal muscl...
full textHuman esophageal smooth muscle cells express muscarinic receptor subtypes M(1) through M(5).
Receptor characterization in human esophageal smooth muscle is limited by tissue availability. We used human esophageal smooth muscle cells in culture to examine the expression and function of muscarinic receptors. Primary cultures were established using cells isolated by enzymatic digestion of longitudinal muscle (LM) and circular muscle (CM) obtained from patients undergoing esophagectomy for...
full textMuscarinic receptor subtypes in airways.
Muscarinic receptor subtypes in the airways appear to subserve different physiological functions. M1-receptors facilitate neurotransmission through parasympathetic ganglia and enhance cholinergic reflexes, but are also localized to alveolar walls. M2-receptors act as autoreceptors on post-ganglionic cholinergic nerves and inhibit acetylcholine release. There is some evidence that they may be de...
full textMuscarinic receptor subtypes in the alimentary tract.
Acetylcholine is a transmitter in preganglionic autonomic and postganglionic parasympathetic nerves and a non-neuronal paracrine mediator in the alimentary tract. Acetylcholine is involved in the control of almost any function within these organ systems, and almost every cell type expresses multiple muscarinic receptor subtypes. Although muscarinic receptors at non-neuronal effector cells commo...

PURPOSE To determine the relative levels of the five muscarinic receptor subtypes in the anterior segment of the human eye. METHODS Antisera selective for each of the five muscarinic receptor proteins were incubated with [3H]-QNB bound receptors solubilized from human iris sphincter, ciliary muscle, and ciliary processes. Precipitation of the radiolabeled receptor-antibody complexes and scint...
