Breast cancer: Muscarinic receptors as new targets for tumor therapy

Abstract: The development of breast cancer is a complex process that involves the participation of different factors. Several authors have demonstrated the overexpression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in different tumor tissues and their role in the modulation of tumor biology, positioning them as therapeutic targets in cancer. The conventional treatment for breast cancer involves surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. The latter presents disadvantages such as limited specificity, the appearance of… Show more

“…All histamine receptors are expressed in BC and are suggested to be involved in tumor growth regulation [ 88 , 89 ]. Other rhodopsin-like receptors were also co-expressed with several TAARs, including muscarinic receptors, whose stimulation leads to BC cell growth [ 84 , 90 ]. These receptors are expressed in malignant breast tumors but not in normal breast tissue [ 84 ].…”

“…Then, strips were incubated with anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G coupled to horseradish peroxidase diluted 1:10,000 in 20 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer, 150 mmol/L NaCl and 0.05% Tween 20 at 37℃ for 1 h. Bands were visualized by chemiluminescence. The results of densitometric analysis are expressed as optical density units relative to the expression of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), which was used as loading control [ 36 ].…”

“…Then, lysates were left in an ice bath for 60 min and later centrifuged at 750 g for 10 min at 4℃. Supernatants were saved at −80℃ and protein concentration was analyzed by the Bradford assay [35]. Samples (70 μg protein per lane) were subjected to 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis minigel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, and incubated overnight with rabbit anti-human ABCG2 polyclonal antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Dallas, Texas, USA) diluted 1:200.…”
