Özet
Objectives: Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) belong to a family of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). These mAChRs regulate several important physiological functions by activating a wide variety of cellular signaling pathways. We have previously shown that muscarinic acetylcholine (M-2, M-3 and M-4) receptors are expressed in K562 cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of muscarinic agonist, antagonists and different signaling pathway inhibitors on c-Fos and cyclin D-1 transcripts, using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) that allows changes of very rare transcripts to be monitored.
