The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M (M-mAChR) is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Owing to specific cardioprotective effects, M-mAChR is an ideal diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Growing evidence has linked M-mAChR to the development of multiple CVDs, in which it plays a role in cardiac protection such as anti-arrhythmia, anti-hypertrophy, and anti-fibrosis. This review summarizes M-mAChR's expression patterns, functions, and underlying mechanisms of action in CVDs, especially in ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure, opening up a new research direction for the treatment of CVDs.
毒蕈碱型乙酰胆碱受体 M(M-mAChR)参与多种生理和病理过程。由于具有特定的心脏保护作用,M-mAChR 是心血管疾病(CVDs)的理想诊断和治疗生物标志物。越来越多的证据表明,M-mAChR 与多种 CVDs 的发展有关,在这些疾病中,它在抗心律失常、抗肥大和抗纤维化等心脏保护中发挥作用。本综述总结了 M-mAChR 在 CVDs 中的表达模式、功能及其作用机制,特别是在缺血/再灌注损伤、心肌肥厚和心力衰竭中的作用,为 CVDs 的治疗开辟了新的研究方向。
