Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in health and disease.

Abstract:

:Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are a family of acetylcholine-gated cation channels that form the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors on muscles and nerves in the peripheral nervous system. AChRs are also expressed on neurons in lower amounts throughout the central nervous system. AChRs are even being reported on unexpected cell types such as keratinocytes. Structures of these AChRs are being determined with increasing precision, but functions of some orphan subunits are just beginning to be established. Functional roles for postsynaptic AChRs in muscle are well known, but in neurons the post-, peri-, extra-, and presynaptic roles of AChRs are just being revealed. Pathogenic roles of AChRs are being discovered in many diseases involving mechanisms ranging from mutations, to autoimmune responses, to the unknown; involving cell types ranging from muscles, to neurons, to keratinocytes; and involving signs and symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to epilepsy, to neurodegenerative disease, to psychiatric disease, to nicotine addiction. Awareness of AChR involvement in some of these diseases has provoked new interests in development of therapeutic agonists for specific AChR subtypes and the use of expressed cloned AChR subunits as possible immunotherapeutic agents. Highlights of recent developments in these areas will be briefly reviewed.

  • Roles of Prokineticin 2 in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage-Induced Early Brain Injury via Regulation of Phenotype Polarization in Astrocytes.

    abstract::Previous studies have postulated that neuroinflammation can induce two different types of reactive astrocytes, A1 and A2. A1 astrocytes may be harmful, whereas A2 astrocytes may be protective. Specifically, prokineticin 2 (PK2) has been shown to regulate neuron-astrocyte signaling mechanism by promoting an alternative...
