Abstract
A male infant with prenatal history significant for polyhydramnios requiring multiple amnioreductions with suspicion of small bowel atresia was born at 31 weeks 5 days' gestation with abdominal distension. He underwent three exploratory laparotomies and ileostomy for small bowel obstruction and was found to have fluid-filled intestinal dilatation. Serum and stool chemistries suggested sodium secretory diarrhoea. A rapid whole-exome sequencing confirmed de novo guanylate cyclase mutation variant as a cause for his congenital sodium secretory diarrhoea. He required large volume of fluid and electrolyte replacement along with total parenteral nutrition. Several medications to restore normal sodium homeostasis by targeting molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis described in previous literature failed to decrease stool output and electrolyte loss. He was discharged home at 11 months of age on total parenteral nutrition and weekly iron therapy.

Abstract
Physiologic stressors increase trans-synaptic impulse activity and result in adrenal catecholamine release and biosynthesis. To determine the effects of stress on the co-localized opiate peptide system, rats were cold stressed at 4 degrees C. While cold stress slightly decreased enkephalin levels, a more severe stress (wetting and cold) increased enkephalin levels by 95%. Examining trans-synaptic-cholinergic mechanisms, treatment with either nicotinic or muscarinic agonists alone resulted in no change in adrenal enkephalin content. However, treatment with both nicotinic and muscarinic agonists together resulted in a three-fold rise in enkephalin levels. To further examine cellular mechanisms, medullae were explanted in the presence of agents that increase second messenger cyclic nucleotide levels. Treatments that increase the levels of cAMP, the cyclic nucleotide associated with nicotinic receptor activation, prevented the rise in medullary enkephalin relative to control explants. In contrast, treatments that increased cGMP levels, the cyclic nucleotide associated with muscarinic receptor activation, had no effect on enkephalin content compared to control explants. However, in the presence of both forskolin (10 microM) plus db-cGMP (5 mM), enkephalin content rose three-fold over control explants. These data suggest that, distinct from catecholamine pathways, enkephalin levels can be positively or negatively regulated by the severity of a stressful stimulus, by cholinergic receptor mechanisms and by an interaction of cyclic nucleotide second-messenger pathways.

Abstract
Plasma membranes from bovine tracheal smooth muscle show guanylyl cyclase activity, which can be stimulated by muscarinic agonists such carbamylcholine and oxotremorine and blocked by atropine. This stimulation was observed in the presence of 150 mM NaCl. In the absence of this salt, guanylyl cyclase activity was considerably higher but was not affected by muscarinic agonists. Carbamylcholine decreased the apparent Km but did not change the Vmax of this enzyme. When plasma membrane fractions were extracted with 1% octylglucoside, guanylyl cyclase activity was preserved, however the muscarinic activation was abolished, despite a muscarinic receptor capable of [3H]quinuclidinylbenzilate binding being present in the extract. The detergent extraction changed the affinity of guanylyl cyclase for GTP but the Mn2+ kinetics was unaltered. Based on these findings and on current information in the literature, we propose that another component is required to restore the link between the muscarinic receptor and guanylyl cyclase, however the nature of this component remains to be established.

Abstract
Speract (Gly-Phe-Asp-Leu-Asn-Gly-Gly-Gly-Val-Gly), a peptide obtained from the culture medium of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs, stimulates the respiration and motility of S. purpuratus spermatozoa under appropriate conditions. Resact (Cys-Val-Thr-Gly-Ala-Pro-Gly-Cys-Val-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-LeuNH2), a peptide obtained from Arbacia punctulata eggs also stimulates the metabolism and motility of A. punctulata spermatozoa, however, it fails to stimulate S. purpuratus spermatozoa. Early biochemical responses of the spermatozoa to the egg peptides include a net H+ efflux and elevations of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP concentrations. In addition, in A. punctulata spermatozoa, a major plasma membrane protein is modified in response to resact such that its apparent molecular weight shifts from 160,000 to 150,000. If cells are incubated with 32P, the 160,000 molecular weight form of the protein becomes radiolabeled; subsequent addition of resact causes a rapid loss of 32P from the protein. The plasma membrane protein appears to be the enzyme, guanylate cyclase; coincident with the shift in apparent molecular weight, enzyme activity decreases by as much as 90%. Since speract fails to cause these responses in A. punctulata, it can be concluded that the events are receptor-mediated.

Abstract
In this report we characterize muscarinic cholinergic receptor on embryonic cells. We established dose-response curves by fluorometric measurement of Ca2+ mobilization in cell suspensions of whole chick embryos stage 23/24. Ca2+ mobilization was quantitated by standardization of chlorotetracycline (CTC) fluorescence changes after stimulation with muscarinic agonists. We determined ED50 values for the agonists acetylcholine and carbachol as 3.4 X 10(-6) and 2.7 X 10(-5) M, respectively. Pilocarpine and oxotremorine were found to act as reversible competitive antagonists with inhibition constants (Kl) of 5.0 X 10(-6) and 1.4 X 10(-6) M, respectively. Bethanechol, which induced only 23% of the maximal effect obtained by acetylcholine, was a partial agonist with an ED50 of 4.8 X 10(-4) M. Its antagonistic component is expressed by an inhibition constant of 1.9 X 10(-4) M. In parallel, binding studies were performed in a competition assay with [3H]-quinuclidinylbenzilate. For the agonists acetylcholine and carbachol, binding parameters were best fitted by a "two binding-sites model." Comparison with dose-response curves indicated that Ca2+ mobilization was triggered via the high-affinity binding site. The inhibition constants of antagonists derived from the shift of dose-response curves corresponded to the fitted KD values of the binding studies when a "one binding-site model" was applied. Combination of dose-response and binding data showed close proportionality between receptor occupancy and calcium mobilization. No spare receptors were present.

Abstract
Exposure of rat brain or parotid gland slices to muscarinic receptor agonists stimulates a phospholipase C that degrades inositol phospholipids. When tissue slices were labelled in vitro with [3H]inositol, this response could be monitored by measuring the formation of [3H]inositol phosphates. Accumulation of inositol 1,4-biphosphate in stimulated brain slices suggests that polyphosphonositides are the primary targets for phospholipase C activity. Li+ (10 mM) in the medium completely blocked the hydrolysis of inositol 1-phosphate, partially inhibited inositol 1,4-bisphosphate hydrolysis, but had no effect on the hydrolysis of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate by endogenous phosphatases. Muscarinic receptor pharmacology was studied by measuring the accumulation of [3H]inositol 1-phosphate in the presence of 10 mM Li+. In experiments on brain slices, the response to carbachol was antagonised by atropine with an affinity constant of approximately 8.79 +/- 0.12. Dose-response curves to several muscarinic agonists were constructed using brain and parotid gland slices. The results are consistent with relatively direct coupling of low-affinity muscarinic receptors to inositol phospholipid breakdown in brain slices; full agonists were relatively more potent in the parotid gland compared with the brain. Explanations for these differences are suggested.

Abstract
Heterogeneity of muscarinic cholinergic receptors was investigated in chick embryo retina throughout development and in chicks immediately after hatching. The presence of a homogeneous receptor population was evidenced by antagonist binding. The affinity of antagonists increased up to day 14 of incubation, when synaptogenesis occurs. After this stage, it remained substantially unchanged. The number of receptors increased in embryos until hatching. On the contrary, agonists, such as acetylcholine and carbachol, bound to two (high- and low-affinity) binding sites. Through development, the affinity of both significantly increased until day 14, further substantiating the hypothesis of a maturation of the receptor pattern which precedes synapse formation. Muscarinic cholinergic binding seems to identify 3 critical steps in retinal neuronal development. The first is between 7 and 9 days of incubation, the second when synaptogenesis occurs and the third after initiation of function.

Abstract
Animals fed a diet deficient in thiamine or treated with a drug preventing the utilization of thiamine (thiamine antagonist) exhibited alterations in ligand binding to muscarinic receptors in several brain regions. Using quantitative techniques of receptor autoradiography, an increase in muscarinic receptor binding was demonstrated in such regions as the corpus callosum, lamina VI of the parietal cortex, caudate-putamen, ventral nucleus of the thalamus, stratum lacunosum moleculare and stratum oriens of the hippocampus, and the hilus of the area dentata. As a result of thiamine deficiency, this increase in muscarinic receptor populations was primarily due to an increase in the binding of the low-affinity agonist site. In the same experiment, a decrease in muscarinic receptor binding was found in the ventromedial region of the hypothalamus. Thiamine deficiency thus causes an up-regulation of muscarinic receptor binding in several regions of rat brain while causing a down-regulation of these same receptors in other brain areas.

Abstract
Muscarinic receptors in calf forebrain membranes can be identified by the specific binding of the radiolabelled antagonist [3H]dexetimide. These receptors (2.8 pM/mg protein) comprise two non-interconvertible subpopulations with respectively high and low agonist affinity but with the same antagonist affinity. For all the agonists tested the low affinity sites represent 85 +/- 5% of the total receptor population. 0.5% Digitonin solubilized extracts contain 0.8 pM muscarinic receptor/mg protein. In contrast with the membranes, these extracts contain only sites with low agonist affinity. The alkylating reagent N-ethylmaleimide causes an increase of the acetylcholine affinity for the low affinity sites in membranes as well as for the solubilized sites. This effect is time dependent until a maximal 3-fold increase in affinity is attained. The rate of N-ethylmaleimide action is enhanced by the concomitant presence of agonists. In contrast, N-ethylmaleimide does not affect antagonist binding. This suggests that agonists mediate a conformational change of both the membrane bound low affinity muscarinic sites and of the solubilized sites, resulting in their increased susceptibility towards NEM alkylation.

Abstract
Structural analogs of oxotremorine have been employed to examine the relationship between the binding of agonists to muscarinic receptors in guinea pig cerebral cortex and the enhancement of inositol lipid turnover. Large differences were observed in the ability of the analogs to stimulate inositol phospholipid turnover, as measured both by the increase in labeling of phosphatidate and phosphatidylinositol from 32Pi in a nerve-ending fraction, and by the stimulated release of labeled inositol phosphates from slices of cerebral cortex, a direct measure of inositol lipid breakdown. The quaternary N+ analogs, oxotremorine-M and its N-methylacetamide derivative, were five to thirteen times as effective as oxotremorine. In contrast, methyl substitution of the pyrrolidone ring of oxotremorine resulted in a complete loss of agonist activity. Receptor occupancy data obtained from the displacement of labeled quinuclidinyl benzilate bound to receptors in a nerve-ending fraction indicated that the more efficacious agonists interacted with at least two affinity forms of the muscarinic receptor, whereas the less effective agonists bound to a single affinity form. Dose-response curves obtained in the presence of oxotremorine-M for inositol lipid turnover in both the nerve-ending fraction and slice preparation correlated with the occupancy of a single low-affinity form of the muscarinic receptor. The results suggest that the differential abilities of analogs of oxotremorine to enhance inositol lipid turnover in brain are closely related to the extent of agonist-induced conformational change in the muscarinic receptor.

Abstract
The effect of compounds that activate sodium channels on the number of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in neuroblastoma NIE 115 cells has been investigated. The cells were used in electrically unexcitable ("control" cells) and excitable ("differentiated" cells) states. Although receptor assays using a single concentration of the radioligand [3H]scopolamine methyl chloride indicated a loss of receptors after a 6-h incubation of cells with veratrine, no true loss of receptors was seen with any of the compounds tested (veratridine, veratrine, aconitine) when full saturation analyses were performed in either control or differentiated cells. The apparent receptor loss seen with veratrine was due to a muscarinic receptor-active component of veratrine (not veratridine) occluded by the cells and released into the binding assays upon cell breakage. Veratridine and aconitine have a very low affinity for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and the binding of carbamoylcholine to the receptors is unaffected by tetrodotoxin, so that there is no evidence in this system for interaction between muscarinic receptors and sodium channels.

Abstract
The distribution of high vs. low affinity muscarinic agonist binding sites has been determined using quantitative techniques of receptor autoradiography. The low affinity agonist sites predominate in many regions of the forebrain including the cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, amygdala and thalamus. The high affinity agonist sites predominate in the brainstem and represent exclusively the type of muscarinic cholinergic receptor normally present in the principal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, facial nerve nucleus, hypoglossal nerve nucleus, and in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. The regional localization of these subpopulations provides valuable information for future studies which seek to determine the functional importance of subtypes of muscarinic agonist binding sites.

Abstract
Muscarinic receptors mediate a variety of intestinal functions including smooth muscle contraction, ganglionic transmission and water and electrolyte secretion. In this study, we have used [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) in an in vitro autoradiographic method to map the distribution of muscarinic receptors in guinea-pig ileum, colon and caecum. In addition, the relative distribution of low and high affinity agonist binding sites was assessed by the addition of the muscarinic agonist, carbachol, to selectively inhibit the binding of [3H]QNB to the high affinity sites. Although quantitative differences existed, the overall distribution of muscarinic receptors was similar in the 3 regions of intestine examined. Autoradiograph grains were found distributed over the myenteric and sub-mucous plexuses, the longitudinal and circular muscle layers and in the case of the colon, the muscularis mucosa. The inclusion of carbachol demonstrated that a greater proportion of high affinity sites were associated with the musculature than with the enteric plexuses. These findings are discussed in relation to the role of muscarinic mechanisms in intestinal motility and secretion.

Abstract
The binding of agonists and antagonists to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on intact cultured cardiac cells has been compared with the binding observed in homogenized membrane preparations. The antagonists [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate and [3H]N-methylscopolamine bind to a single class of receptor sites on intact cells with affinities similar to those seen in membrane preparations. In contrast with the heterogeneity of agonist binding sites observed in membrane preparations, the agonist carbachol binds to a homogeneous class of low-affinity sites on intact cells with an affinity identical to that found for the low-affinity agonist site in membrane preparations in the presence of guanyl nucleotides. Kinetic studies of antagonist binding to receptors in the absence and presence of agonist did not provide evidence for the existence of a transient (greater than 30 s) high-affinity agonist site that was subsequently converted to a site of lower affinity.

Abstract
The development of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in chick heart was studied from incubation days 5 through 20. There is a parallel increase in receptor density in atrium and ventricle until the last half of incubation, when the atrial, but not the ventricular, receptor density increases. This increase is blocked by exposure to atropine on incubation days 11 through 14, but not on days 16 through 19. This specific regional increase is coincident with the appearance of functional cholinergic innervation of the heart. During this same period there is an alteration in muscarinic receptor binding properties in both atrium and ventricle that is characterized by an increase in the proportion of receptors displaying high affinity agonist binding. This increase is blocked in the atrium, but not the ventricle, by atropine exposure on incubation days 11 through 14. Thus, there is a critical period in the development of atrial muscarinic receptors during which the receptors are susceptible to modulation by exposure to an antagonist.

Abstract
The ontogeny of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the rat brain has been examined using the radioligands, [3H]N-methylscopolamine, [3H]propylbenzilylcholine and [3H]oxotremorine-M. In the 3 regions of the brain selected for study, the cerebral cortex, the diencephalon and the medulla-pons, the receptors develop at different rates. The most rapid development takes place in the medulla with considerably slower maturation in the diencephalon and cerebral cortex. In the cortex, the agonist binding properties of the muscarinic receptors vary during development. There appears to be a 6--7 day lag in the appearance of high affinity sites following formation of low affinity sites.

Abstract
1. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in a plasma-membrane fraction derived from mouse neuroblastoma clone NIE-115 bind [3-3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate according to the Law of Mass Action (Kdissociation 40 pM, h0.96). 2. Antagonist and agonist binding to the receptor was studied by displacement of [3-3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate with non-radioactive ligands. The data show good agreement with similar data obtained on rat brain and ideal smooth muscle [Birdsall & Hulme (1976) J. Neurochem. 27, 7-16] indicating that the receptor is very similar in these three tissues.
