1 Activation of M3 muscarinic receptor by acetylcholine promotes non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation and invasion via EGFR/PI3K/AKT pathway. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
2 Activation of M3R by ACh participates in the proliferation, differentiation, transformation, and carcinogenesis of cancer. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
3 After silencing of M3R, the biological functions of ACh in NSCLC cells were greatly attenuated. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, ACh stimulation increased the production of IL-8 and time-dependently induced the activation of EGFR, PI3K, and AKT through M3R. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, these findings indicate that activation of M3R by ACh enhances the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
6 ACh-induced activation of EGFR/PI3K/AKT pathway and subsequent IL-8 upregulation may be one of the important mechanisms of M3R function. Acetylcholine cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 Homo sapiens
