The changes in the reorganization of actin filaments during desensitization of secretion were investigated by transfecting RBL-2H3 cells with cDNA encoding the human m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (RBL-m3 cells). Incubation of RBL-m3 cells with 10-100 microM carbachol in Ca2+ -free medium developed membrane ruffling. When the cells were desensitized under the condition where desensitization of carbachol-induced secretion occurred, desensitized cells failed to develop membrane ruffling with the subsequent addition of carbachol. These results suggest that m3 muscarinic receptor-mediated desensitization of secretion involves negative regulation of actin reorganization leading to membrane ruffling.

Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye. Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
