| Background |
It is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist. |
| Biological Activity |
Arecoline, an arecanut alkaloid present in the saliva of betel quid chewers, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of inflammatory oral diseases, including oral submucous fibrosis and periodontitis.[1] A partial agonist of nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, arecoline evokes multiple effects on the central nervous system (CNS), including stimulation, alertness, elation, and anxiolysis. [2] |
| In Vitro |
Arecoline induced the generation of reactive oxygen species and cell cycle arrest at the G1/G0 phase in HaCaT cells without affecting the expression of p21/Cip1. Arecoline-induced epithelial cell death at higher concentrations was caused by oxidative trauma without eliciting apoptosis. Sublethal concentrations of arecoline upregulated the expression of the following stress-responsive genes: heme oxygenase-1; ferritin light chain; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit; and glutathione reductase. Additionally，there was a dose-dependent induction of interleukin-1alfa mRNA by arecoline via oxidative stress and p38 MAPK activation.[1] |
| Cell Experiment |
Human keratinocyte cells(of the HaCaT cell line)were treated with arecoline，following which cell viability was assessed using the Trypan Blue dye-exclusion assay，cell growth and proliferation were analyzed using the MTT(3-[4，5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2，5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide)and 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine incorporation assays，cell cycle arrest and generation of reactive oxygen species were examined using flow cytometry，and gene expression changes were investigated using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technique.[1] |
