The cloned murine M1 muscarinic receptor is associated with the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols in transfected murine B82 cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A rat genomic DNA clone was isolated by its homology with a conserved primary sequence among the mammalian and avian beta adrenergic and porcine muscarinic receptors. A gene identified in this clone was highly homologous to the rat M1 muscarinic receptor. Stable expression of this gene was achieved in an established murine fibroblast cell line, B82. The gene product exhibits M1 type muscarinic receptor characteristics, as it has high affinity for PZ but low affinity for AF-DX 116. Carbachol stimulated the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols in the transfected cells. Pirenzepine had a more potent inhibitory effect on this response than AF-DX 116 since their functional inhibition constants were 13 nM and 480 nM, respectively, which is consistent with an M1 pharmacological profile. These data suggest that the M1 muscarinic receptor encoded by the gene is coupled to the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols after transfecting this gene into the B82 cells. 相似文献

Muscarinic receptors in brain membranes from honey bees, houseflies, and the American cockroach were identified by their specific binding of the non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) and the displacement of this binding by agonists as well as subtype-selective antagonists, using filtration assays. The binding parameters, obtained from Scatchard analysis, indicated that insect muscarinic receptors, like those of mammalian brains, had high affinities for [3H]QNB (KD = 0.47 nM in honey bees, 0.17 nM in houseflies and 0.13 nM in the cockroach). However, the receptor concentration was low (108, 64.7, and 108 fmol/mg protein for the three species, respectively). The association and dissociation rates of [3H]QNB binding to honey bee brain membranes, sensitivity of [3H]QNB binding to muscarinic agonists, and high affinity for atropine were also features generally similar to muscarinic receptors of mammalian brains. In order to further characterize the three insect brain muscarinic receptors, the displacement of [3H]QNB binding by subtype-selective antagonists was studied. The rank order of potency of pirenzepine (PZ), the M1 selective antagonist, 11-[2-[dimethylamino)-methyl)1-piperidinyl)acetyl)-5,11- dihydro-6H-pyrido(2,3-b)-(1,4)-benzodiazepin-6 one (AF-DX 116), the M2-selective antagonist, and 4-DAMP (4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide) the M3-selective antagonist, was also the same as that of mammalian brains, i.e., 4-DAMP greater than PZ greater than AF-DX 116. The three insect brain receptors had 27-50-fold lower affinity for PZ (Ki 484-900 nM) than did the mammalian brain receptor (Ki 16 nM), but similar to that reported for the muscarinic receptor subtype cloned from Drosophila. Also, the affinity of insect receptors for 4-DAMP (Ki 18.9-56.6 nM) was much lower than that of the M3 receptor, which predominates in rat submaxillary gland (Ki of 0.37 nM on [3H]QNB binding). These drug specificities of muscarinic receptors of brains from three insect species suggest that insect brains may be predominantly of a unique subtype that is close to, though significantly different from, the mammalian M3 subtype. 相似文献

A cDNA of 2149 base pairs with an incomplete open reading frame (ORF) encoding amino acids 1-516 of a 531-amino acid protein highly homologous to muscarinic receptors was cloned from a rat brain cDNA library. The complete ORF was then deduced from a DNA fragment cloned from a rat genomic library. This ORF was subcloned into the eukaryotic expression vector p91023(B) under control of the adenovirus major late promoter and co-transfected with the thymidine kinase selection marker into muscarinic receptor-negative, thymidine kinase-negative murine L cells. Stable transformants were selected and tested for acquisition of muscarinic receptors by following appearance of specific binding sites for the muscarinic ligand [3H] N-methylscopolamine. Two cell lines, LM5.36 and LM5.40, were cloned and shown to express typical muscarinic receptor sites, thus confirming that the newly cloned ORF encodes a muscarinic receptor, the rat M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Tests for activities showed it to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis in intact cells, without affecting positively or negatively adenylyl cyclase activity. The M5 receptor contains two putative glycosylation sites at its amino terminus and, based on hydropathicity analysis, is predicted to span the plasma membrane seven times. Like 17 other receptors of this class, the M5 receptor has 19 conserved amino acids, among which are 4 prolines located in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th predicted transmembrane regions, conferring possible bends to these helices, and 2 cysteines, one in the 1st and the other in the 2nd extracellular loop, possibly providing for a disulfide bond. Similarity in amino acid composition and in patterns of antagonist binding and biologic effects suggest the M5 receptor to be M1-like. 相似文献

Cholinergic receptors in upper motor neurons of brain stem control locomotion and coordination. Present study unravels cholinergic alterations in brain stem during spinal cord injury to understand signalling pathway changes which may be associated with spinal cord injury mediated motor deficits. We evaluated cholinergic function in brain stem by studying the expression of choline acetyl transferase and acetylcholine esterase. We quantified metabotropic muscarinic cholinergic receptors by receptor assays for total muscarinic, muscarinic M1 and M3 receptor subunits, gene expression studies using Real Time PCR and confocal imaging using FITC tagged secondary antibodies. The gene expression of ionotropic nicotinic cholinergic receptors and confocal imaging were also studied. The results from our study showed metabolic disturbance in cholinergic pathway as choline acetyl transferase is down regulated and acetylcholine esterase is up regulated in spinal cord injury group. The significant decrease in muscarinic receptors showed by decreased receptor number along with down regulated gene expression and confocal imaging accounts for dysfunction of metabotropic acetylcholine receptors in spinal cord injury group. Ionotropic acetylcholine receptor alterations were evident from the decreased gene expression of alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and confocal imaging. The motor coordination was analysed by Grid walk test which showed an increased foot slips in spinal cord injured rats. The significant reduction in brain stem cholinergic function might have intensified the motor dysfunction and locomotor disabilities. 相似文献

To gain new insight into the physiological and pathophysiological roles of the muscarinic cholinergic system, we generated mutant mouse strains deficient in each of the five muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes (M(1)-M(5)). In this chapter, we review a set of recent studies dealing with the identification of the muscarinic receptor subtypes mediating muscarinic agonist-dependent analgesic effects by central and peripheral mechanisms. Most of these studies were carried out with mutant mouse strains lacking M(2) or/and M(4) muscarinic receptors. It is well known that administration of centrally active muscarinic agonists induces pronounced analgesic effects. To identify the muscarinic receptors mediating this activity, wild-type and muscarinic receptor mutant mice were injected with the non-subtype-selective muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine (s.c., i.t., and i.c.v.), and analgesic effects were assessed in the tail-flick and hot-plate tests. These studies showed that M(2) receptors play a key role in mediating the analgesic effects of oxotremorine, both at the spinal and supraspinal level. However, studies with M(2)/M(4) receptor double KO mice indicated that M(4) receptors also contribute to this activity. Recent evidence suggests that activation of muscarinic receptors located in the skin can reduce the sensitivity of peripheral nociceptors. Electrophysiological and neurochemical studies with skin preparations from muscarinic receptor mutant mice indicated that muscarine-induced peripheral antinociception is mediated by M(2) receptors. Since acetylcholine is synthesized and released by different cell types of the skin, it is possible that non-neuronally released acetylcholine plays a role in modulating peripheral nociception. Our results highlight the usefulness of muscarinic receptor mutant mice to shed light on the functional roles of acetylcholine released from both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. 相似文献

Investigations into the physiological role of muscarinic M2 and M4 muscarinic and M4 receptor subtypes using receptor knockout mice 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Determination of muscarinic agonist-induced parasympathomimetic effects in wild type and M2 and M4 muscarinic receptor knockout mice revealed that M2 receptors mediated tremor and hypothermia, but not salivation. The M4 receptors seem to play a modest role in salivation, but did not alter hypothermia and tremor. In the M2 knockout mice, agonist-induced bradycardia in isolated spontaneously beating atria was completely absent compared to their wild type litter mates, whereas agonist-induced bradycardia was similar in the M4 knockout and wild type mice. The potency of carbachol to stimulate contraction of isolated stomach fundus, urinary bladder and trachea was reduced by a factor of about 2 in the M2 knockout mice, but was unaltered in the M4 knockout mice. The binding of the muscarinic agonist, [3H]-oxotremorine-M, was reduced in cortical tissue from the M2 knockout mice and to a lesser extent from the M4 knockout mice, and was reduced over 90% in the brain stem of M2 knockout mice. The data demonstrate the usefulness of knockout mice in determining the physiological function of peripheral and central muscarinic receptors. 相似文献

Acetylcholine (ACh), the first neurotransmitter to be identified, regulate the activities of central and peripheral functions
through interactions with muscarinic receptors. Changes in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) have been implicated
in the pathophysiology of many major diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). Previous reports from our laboratory on
streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats showed down regulation of muscarinic M1 receptors in the brainstem, hypothalamus,
cerebral cortex and pancreatic islets. In this study, we have investigated the changes of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) enzyme
activity, total muscarinic and muscarinic M1 receptor binding and gene expression in the corpus striatum of STZ – diabetic
rats and the insulin treated diabetic rats. The striatum, a neuronal nucleus intimately involved in motor behaviour, is one
of the brain regions with the highest acetylcholine content. ACh has complex and clinically important actions in the striatum
that are mediated predominantly by muscarinic receptors. We observed that insulin treatment brought back the decreased maximal
velocity (Vmax) of acetylcholine esterase in the corpus striatum during diabetes to near control state. In diabetic rats there was a decrease
in maximal number (Bmax) and affinity (Kd) of total muscarinic receptors whereas muscarinic M1 receptors were increased with decrease in affinity in diabetic rats.
We observed that, in all cases, the binding parameters were reversed to near control by the treatment of diabetic rats with
insulin. Real-time PCR experiment confirmed the increase in muscarinic M1 receptor gene expression and a similar reversal
with insulin treatment. These results suggest the diabetes-induced changes of the cholinergic activity in the corpus striatum
and the regulatory role of insulin on binding parameters and gene expression of total and muscarinic M1 receptors. 相似文献

Muscarinic cholinergic receptors are widespread in nervous tissue and smooth muscsle or paracrine epithelial cells of various organs. In the embryo, muscarinic receptors are transitorily expressed in the early blastoderm and later on in blastemic tissues during morphogenesis. Recently, a monoclonal antibody (M35) against muscarinic receptor from calf brain became available. In the present study the use of M35-immunohistochemistry is compared to autoradiographic localization of muscarinic binding sites in the mouse embryo. The aim of the study is to test the suitability of the antibody for localization of muscrinic receptors in embryonic tissues. For autoradiography whole-body sagittal cryostat sections of the 17- and 18-day mouse embryo were covered with LKB-Ultrofilm after incubation with the radioactive ligand [3H] quinuclidinyl benzylate (QNB). For immunohistochemistry cryostat sections of formalin fixed tissues were used. In general, all tissues exhibiting ligand binding were also recognized by the antibody. M35-immunohistochemistry resulted in higher spatial resolution of receptor localization than [3H]QNB autoradiography. Definitive muscarinic receptors were observed in smooth muscle and the epithelial lining of the vascular, intestinal, respiratory and urinary system, in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The embryonic type of the muscarinic receptor was detected in the mesothelium of lung and liver, in the nephrogenic blastema of the metanephros, and in lung mesenchyme. A large amount of embryonic muscarinic receptors was found in the remnants of the notochord and in the nucleus pulposus of the developing vertebral column. A function in morphogenesis is discussed of the embryonic muscarinic receptor. 相似文献

Muscarinic M1, but not M4, receptors have been shown to be decreased in Brodmann's area (BA) 9 obtained postmortem from subjects with schizophrenia. This study extends that data by measuring levels of muscarinic M2 and M3 receptor protein and mRNAs in BA 9 and BA 40 from the same cohorts of subjects used in the study of M1 and M4 receptors. In addition, the ability of carbachol to stimulate muscarinic receptors that signal through the Gi/o G-proteins was measured in BA 9 from the same cohorts of subjects. There were no changes in levels of muscarinic M2 or M3 protein or M3 mRNA with diagnosis in either CNS region. M2 receptor mRNA could not be detected in BA 9 or BA 40. Finally, carbachol-stimulated GTPgammaS binding did not differ between the diagnostic cohorts in BA 9 (p = 0.64). These data add considerable weight to the argument that the muscarinic M1 receptor is the muscarinic receptor predominantly affected in BA 9 by the pathology of schizophrenia. Given the widespread changes in muscarinic receptors identified in the CNS of subjects of schizophrenia using functional neuroimaging it remains possible that receptors other than the M1 receptor may be altered in different CNS regions. 相似文献

The chick is a widely used system for study of the actions of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the cardiovascular, visual, and nervous systems. We report the isolation and functional analysis of the gene encoding the chick M5 muscarinic receptor. RT-PCR analysis indicates that the M5 receptor is expressed at low levels in embryonic chick brain and heart. When expressed in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, the M5 receptor exhibits high-affinity binding to muscarinic antagonists and mediates robust activation of phospholipase C activity. 相似文献

Hypoglycemic brain injury is a common and serious complication of insulin therapy associated with diabetes. This study evaluated
the effect of insulin-induced hypoglycemia and STZ-induced diabetes on striatal cholinergic receptors and enzyme expression
and on motor function. Cholinergic enzymes: AChE and ChAT gene expression, radioreceptor binding assay and immunohistochemistry
of muscarinic M1, M3 receptors and α7nAChR were carried out. Motor performance on grid walk test was analysed. AChE and ChAT
expression significantly downregulated in hypoglycemic and diabetic rats. Total muscarinic and Muscarinic M3 receptor binding
decreased in hypoglycemic rats compared to diabetic rats whereas muscarinic M1 receptor binding increased in hypoglycemic
rats compared to diabetic rats. Real-time PCR analysis and confocal imaging of muscarinic M1, M3 receptors confirmed the changes
in muscarinic receptor binding in hypoglycemic and diabetic rats. In hypoglycemic rats, α7nAChR expression significantly up
regulated compared to diabetic rats. Grid walk test demonstrated the impairment in motor function and coordination in hypoglycemic
and hyperglycemic rats. Neurochemical changes along with the behavioral data implicate a role for impaired striatal cholinergic
receptor function inducing motor function deficit induced by hypo and hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia exacerbated the neurobehavioral
deficit in diabetes which has clinical significance in the treatment of diabetes. 相似文献

Muscarinic M1 and M3 receptor changes in the brain stem during pancreatic regeneration were investigated. Brain stem acetylcholine esterase activity decreased at the time of regeneration. Sympathetic activity also decreased as indicated by the norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI) content of adrenals and also in the plasma. Muscarinic M1 and M3 receptors showed reciprocal changes in the brain stem during regeneration. Muscarinic M1 receptor number decreased at time of regeneration without any change in the affinity. High affinity M3 receptors showed an increase in the number. The affinity did not show any change. The number of low affinity receptors decreased with decreased Kd at 72 hours after partial pancreatectomy. The Kd reversed to control value with a reversal of the number of receptors to near control value. Gene expression studies also showed a similar change in the mRNA level of M1 and M3 receptors. These alterations in the muscarinic receptors regulate sympathetic activity and maintain glucose level during pancreatic regeneration. Central muscarinic M1 and M3 receptor subtypes functional balance is suggested to regulate sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, which in turn control the islet cell proliferation and glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5) play important roles in the modulation of many key functions of the central and peripheral nervous system. To explore the physiological roles of the two Gi-coupled muscarinic receptors, we disrupted the M2 and M4 receptor genes in mice by using a gene targeting strategy. Pharmacological and behavioral analysis of the resulting mutant mice showed that the M2 receptor subtype is critically involved in mediating three of the most striking central muscarinic effects, tremor, hypothermia, and analgesia. These studies also indicated that M4 receptors are not critically involved in these central muscarinic responses. However, M4 receptor-deficient mice showed an increase in basal locomotor activity and greatly enhanced locomotor responses following drug-induced activation of D1 dopamine receptors. This observation is consistent with the concept that M4 receptors exert inhibitory control over D1 receptor-mediated locomotor stimulation, probably at the level of striatal projection neurons where the two receptors are known to be coexpressed. These findings emphasize the usefulness of gene targeting approaches to shed light on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of the individual muscarinic receptor subtypes. 相似文献

Distribution of muscarinic receptor subtypes in rat brain as determined in binding studies with AF-DX 116 and pirenzepine 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In vitro competition binding experiments with the selective muscarinic antagonists AF-DX 116 and pirenzepine (PZ) vs 3H-N-methylscopolamine as radioligand revealed a characteristic distribution of muscarinic receptor subtypes in different regions of rat brain. Based on non linear least squares analysis, the binding data were compatible with the presence of three different subtypes: the M1 receptor (high affinity for PZ), the cardiac M2 receptor (high affinity for AF-DX 116) and the glandular M2 receptor (low affinity for PZ and AF-DX 116). The highest proportion of M1 receptors was found in the hippocampus, whilst the cerebellum and the hypothalamus were the regions with the largest fraction of the cardiac M2 and glandular M2 receptors, respectively. In certain brain areas, depending on the relative proportions of the subtypes, flat binding curves were seen for AF-DX 116 and PZ. Based on these data, an approximate distribution pattern of the subtypes in the various brain regions is presented. 相似文献

Effects of inflammatory cells on neuronal M2 muscarinic receptor function in the lung 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In the lungs, acetylcholine released from the parasympathetic nerves stimulates M3 muscarinic receptors on airway smooth muscle inducing contraction and bronchoconstriction. The amount of acetylcholine released from these nerves is limited locally by neuronal M2 muscarinic receptors. These neuronal receptors are dysfunctional in asthma and in animal models of asthma. Decreased M2 muscarinic receptor function results in increased release of acetylcholine and in airway hyperreactivity. Inflammation has long been associated with hyperreactivity and the role of inflammatory cells in loss of neuronal M2 receptor function has been examined. There are several different mechanisms for loss of neuronal M2 receptor function. These include blockade by endogenous antagonists such as eosinophil major basic protein, decreased expression of M2 receptors following infection with viruses or exposure to pro inflammatory cytokines such as gamma interferon. Finally, the affinity of acetylcholine for these receptors can be decreased by exposure to neuraminidase. 相似文献

Two cDNA clones, lambda-CLFV-108 and lambda-CLFV-119, encoding for the beta-adrenergic receptor, have been isolated from a human brain stem cDNA library. One human genomic clone, LCV-517 (20 kb), was characterized by restriction mapping and partial sequencing. The human brain beta-receptor consists of 413 amino acids with a calculated Mr of 46480. The gene contains three potential glucocorticoid receptor-binding sites. The beta-receptor expressed in human brain was homology with rodent (88%) and avian (52%) beta-receptors and with porcine muscarinic cholinergic receptors (31%), supporting our proposal [(1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 272 276] that adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors are structurally related. This represents the first cloning of a neurotransmitter receptor gene from human brain. 相似文献

Differential alterations in muscarinic receptor subtypes in Alzheimer's disease: implications for cholinergic-based therapies 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Molecular subtypes of muscarinic receptors (m1-m5) are novel targets for cholinergic replacement therapies in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, knowledge concerning the relative distribution, abundance and functional status of these receptors in human brain and AD is incomplete. Recent data from our laboratory have demonstrated a defect in the ability of the M1 receptor subtype to form a high affinity agonist-receptor-G protein complex in AD frontal cortex. This defect is manifested by decreased M1 receptor-stimulated GTPgammaS binding and GTPase activity and by a loss in receptor-stimulated phospholipase C activity. Normal levels of G proteins suggest that the aberrant receptor-G protein interaction may result from an altered form of the m1 receptor in AD. The combined use of radioligand binding and receptor-domain specific antibodies has permitted the re-examination of the status of muscarinic receptor subtypes in the human brain. In AD, normal levels of m1 receptor [3H]-pirenzepine binding contrasted with diminished m1 immunoreactivity, further suggesting that there is an altered form of the m1 receptor in the disease. Reduced m2 immunoreactivity was consistent with decreased numbers of m2 binding sites. Increased levels of m4 receptors were observed in both binding and immunoreactivity measurements. These findings suggest one possible explanation for the relative ineffectiveness of cholinergic replacement therapies used to date and suggest potential new directions for development of effective therapeutic strategies for AD. 相似文献
