Abstract
Breast cancer: Metronomic therapy focused on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
Highlights
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors belong to the G protein coupled receptor group (GPCRs) and together with nicotinic receptors formed the cholinergic receptor family [1]
For the first time the presence of different subtypes of Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in murine and human breast tumors
The five subtypes of mAChRs are expressed in three different mammary tumors (LM2, LM3 and LMM3) that spontaneously aroused in BALB/c mice, but they are absent in normal murine mammary epithelial cells (NMuMG) [4,5,6]
Summary
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) belong to the G protein coupled receptor group (GPCRs) and together with nicotinic receptors formed the cholinergic receptor family [1]. For the first time the presence of different subtypes of mAChRs in murine and human breast tumors. The pattern of expression of mAChRs in human mammary breast tumors differs depending on the cell line analyzed.
