    Applications
    CHRM4, encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, has been implicated in various physiological processes, particularly in the nervous system. Recent research has highlighted its role in prostate cancer, where its interaction with nerve growth factor promotes neuroendocrine differentiation and castration resistance. Additionally, CHRM4's involvement in psychomotor hyperactivity in dopamine-deficient mice suggests its potential role in neuropsychiatric disorders. The receptor's significance is further highlighted by its altered expression in dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease.

    FAQ

    What is the significance of CHRM4 in the context of Alzheimer's disease? Feb 02 2020

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    CHRM4, also known as the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, plays a role in modulating the release of certain neurotransmitters. In Alzheimer's disease, the dysfunction of cholinergic neurotransmission is a hallmark, and CHRM4 is involved in this process. Targeting CHRM4 may offer therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease by modulating neurotransmitter release and improving cognitive function. Feb 02 2020

    chat Joseph (Verified Customer)

    Are there any known adverse effects associated with CHRM4 modulation? Dec 24 2020

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    Modulation of CHRM4 can lead to various physiological effects, given its role in neurotransmission. While specific adverse effects would depend on the nature and extent of modulation, potential side effects could include cognitive disturbances, gastrointestinal symptoms, and cardiovascular effects. However, the exact profile would depend on the drug or agent used to modulate CHRM4. Dec 24 2020

    Published Data

    Fig.1 Reductions in CHRM4, p-AKT, and MYCN were observed in CHRM4-Knockdown PC3 cells.

    Western blotting of CHRM4, p-AKT, AKT, and MYCN in PC3 cells stably transfected with the NC or CHRM4 shRNA vector, and cells were treated with 100 ng/ml NGF protein in CSS-containing medium for 1 week.

    Research Highlights

    Qi A, et al. "Development of a selective and high affinity radioligand, [(3)H]VU6013720, for ." Molecular pharmacology, 2023.
    The M(4) muscarinic receptors play an important role in brain regions associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and dystonia. However, developing selective drugs that target these receptors has been a challenge, resulting in off-target effects on other muscarinic receptor subtypes. Recently, a highly selective M(4) receptor antagonist, [(3)H]VU6013720, was developed and characterized with high affinity and selectivity for the M(4) receptor compared to other subtypes. The ligand was also shown to specifically bind to M(4) receptors using rodent brain tissues and demonstrated a unique binding site that differentially affects the dissociation of the ligand from other muscarinic ligands. This new radioligand provides a valuable tool for studying M(4) receptor biology and supporting drug discovery efforts.

    Polzin BJ, et al. "Distinct patterns of gene expression in the medial preoptic area are related to ." BMC neuroscience, 2023.
    In this study, European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were observed performing gregarious song, a non-sexual social behavior, in flocks. This behavior, believed to be reinforced by positive emotions, serves to increase cohesion within the group. The medial preoptic area (mPOA), a region known to play a role in gregarious song production, was examined using RNA sequencing to identify potential neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, and hormonal pathways involved in this behavior. Results showed upregulation of dopaminergic, cholinergic, and GABAergic systems, as well as genetic pathways related to glutamate signaling and social behavior in humans. The study provides insight into the mPOA's role in gregarious song and possible candidate genes for further research on social behavior in vertebrates. This data can also facilitate cross-species comparisons. In conclusion, the study sheds light on the mechanisms underlying gregarious song and its role in social interactions in European starlings.
