Abstract excerpt
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells attain a hypercontractile phenotype during obstructive airway diseases. We recently identified a biased M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) ligand, PD 102807, that induces GRK-/arrestin-dependent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation to inhibit transforming growth factor-β-induced hypercontractile ASM phenotype. Conversely, the balanced mAChR agonist,...
