Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Pathways in Cancer: From Psychiatric
Clues to Therapeutic Opportunities
Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of
acetylcholine signaling pathways on tumor progression, focusing on the
activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in breast, prostate, and
lung cancer cell lines. Methods: We examined the production and release
of acetylcholine in the central nervous system and its potential effects
on tumors in the peripheral environment. Utilizing breast, prostate, and
lung cancer cell lines, we explored the signaling pathways associated
with the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Results: Our
study revealed insights into the modulation of specific tumor profiling
signaling pathways through the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors. We observed notable implications for patient well-being and
mortality rates based on the manipulation of these pathways. Conclusion:
The findings from this investigation provide valuable information on the
intricate relationship between acetylcholine signaling and tumor
progression. By elucidating these pathways, there is potential for
targeted interventions to enhance patient outcomes and mitigate
mortality rates in breast, prostate, and lung cancer cases.
