Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Among M1 to M5 muscarinic receptor subtypes, M2 and M3 receptors are located to not only a smooth muscle cell but also various enteric nerve cells. In this study, to make clear the mechanisms of peristalsis of the large intestine, we have investigated the role of M2 and M3 receptors on the enteric nerves, using muscarinic receptor subtypes knockout mice. In consequence of the study, both M2 and M3 receptor subtypes enhanced the ATP-mediated neuromuscular transmissions in the smooth muscle cells in the large intestine. In addition, M2 receptor-mediated contraction was larger than M3-mediated one. Furthermore, it is also expected that novel signaling molecules may be involved in the both M2 and M3 receptor-mediated contractions in the large intestine.
