Research Abstract

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) clustering is a key event in the synaptogenesis of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) for the efficient transmission of neural signals from motor neurons to skeletal muscle. The present study attempted to elucidate the contribution of occlusion to the clustering of nAChR in the NMJ of the masseter, with mi/mi as a model system. The present results indicate abnormal formation of the nAChR cluster in the NMJ of the masseter of mi/mi, suggesting that occlusion is essential for the normal progress of nAChR clustering in the NMJ.
