Overview of Gene Research
CHRM1, encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1, is a key component in cholinergic neurotransmission. It is involved in multiple pathways, such as the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway, and plays a significant role in various biological processes including neuronal function, sleep regulation, and cell proliferation. Genetic models, like gene knockout (KO) mouse models, have been crucial for studying its functions [2,3,4,5,6].
In KO mouse models, genetic ablation of CHRM1 in astrocytes led to defects in neural stem cell survival, neuronal differentiation, maturation, and integration in the dentate gyrus, impairing adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) and contextual fear memory. These impairments were rescued by overexpression of astrocytic CHRM1, revealing a critical role for astrocytes in mediating cholinergic regulation of AHN and memory through CHRM1 [1]. In melanoma, high-throughput pharmacologic and genetic in vivo CRISPR screens showed that endogenous DOPA inhibits melanoma through suppression of CHRM1 signaling, suggesting CHRM1 as a new therapeutic target [3]. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), subdiaphragmatic vagotomy or Chrm1 knockout accelerated tumorigenesis, while enhanced cholinergic signaling through CHRM1 suppressed PDAC cell growth, indicating CHRM1 as a potentially attractive therapeutic target [5].
In conclusion, CHRM1 is essential for normal neuronal function, especially in the context of AHN and memory. Model-based research, particularly KO/CKO mouse models, has revealed its significance in diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, melanoma, and PDAC. Understanding CHRM1's functions provides potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases [1,3,4,5].
