Abstract
Mushroom poisoning has always been a threat to human health. There are a large number of reports about ingestion of poisonous mushrooms every year around the world. It attracts the attention of researchers, especially in the aspects of toxin composition, toxic mechanism and toxin application in poisonous mushroom. Inocybe is a large genus of mushrooms and contains toxic substances including muscarine, psilocybin, psilocin, aeruginascin, lectins and baeocystin. In order to prevent and remedy mushroom poisoning, it is significant to clarify the toxic effects and mechanisms of these bioactive substances. In this review article, we summarize the chemistry, most known toxic effects and mechanisms of major toxic substances in Inocybe mushrooms, especially muscarine, psilocybin and psilocin. Their available toxicity data (different species, different administration routes) published formerly are also summarized. In addition, the treatment and medical application of these toxic substances in Inocybe mushrooms are also discussed. We hope that this review will help understanding of the chemistry and toxicology of Inocybe mushrooms as well as the potential clinical application of its bioactive substances to benefit human beings.

Abstract
Clinical and experimental studies indicate that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are potential pharmacological targets for the treatment of neurological diseases. Although these receptors have been described in human, bovine and rat cerebral microvascular tissue, a subtype functional characterization in mouse brain endothelium is lacking. Here, we show that all muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5) are expressed in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells. The mRNA expression of M2, M3, and M5 correlates with their respective protein abundance, but a mismatch exists for M1 and M4 mRNA versus protein levels. Acetylcholine activates calcium transients in brain endothelium via muscarinic, but not nicotinic, receptors. Moreover, although M1 and M3 are the most abundant receptors, only a small fraction of M1 is present in the plasma membrane and functions in ACh-induced Ca2+ signaling. Bioinformatic analyses performed on eukaryotic muscarinic receptors demonstrate a high degree of conservation of the orthosteric binding site and a great variability of the allosteric site. In line with previous studies, this result indicates muscarinic acetylcholine receptors as potential pharmacological targets in future translational studies. We argue that research on drug development should especially focus on the allosteric binding sites of the M1 and M3 receptors.

Abstract
Acetylcholine, acting through muscarinic receptors, modulates the excitability of striatal medium spiny neurones. However, the underlying membrane conductances and intracellular signalling pathways have not been fully determined. Our aim was to characterize excitatory effects mediated by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in these neurones using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in brain slices of postnatal rats. Under voltage-clamp, muscarine evoked an inward current associated with an increase in cell membrane resistance. The current, which reversed at -85 mV, was sensitive to the M1 receptor antagonist pirenzepine. Blocking the potassium conductance attenuated the response and the residual current was further reduced by ruthenium red (50 microm) and reversed at +15 mV. Simultaneous recordings from cholinergic interneurones and medium spiny neurones in conjunction with spike-triggered averaging revealed small unitary excitatory postsynaptic currents in four of 39 cell pairs tested. The muscarine-induced inward current was attenuated by a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122, but not by a protein kinase C inhibitor, chelerythrine, or by the intracellular calcium chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid, suggesting that the current was associated with PLC in a protein kinase C- and Ca2+ -independent manner. The phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase inhibitor wortmannin (10 microm) reduced the recovery of the inward current, indicating that the recovery process was dependent on the removal of diacylglycerol and/or inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate or resynthesis of phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphophate. Ratiometric measurement of intracellular calcium after cell loading with fura-2 demonstrated a muscarine-induced increase in calcium signal that originated mainly from intracellular stores. Thus, the cholinergic excitatory effect in striatal medium spiny neurones, which is important in motor disorders associated with altered cholinergic transmission in the striatum such as Parkinson's disease, is mediated through M1 receptors and the PLC-dependent pathway.

Abstract
The origin of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) transients stimulated by nicotinic (nAChR) and muscarinic (mAChR) receptor activation was investigated in fura-2-loaded neonatal rat intracardiac neurons. ACh evoked [Ca2+]i increases that were reduced to approximately 60% of control in the presence of either atropine (1 microM) or mecamylamine (3 microM) and to <20% in the presence of both antagonists. Removal of external Ca2+ reduced ACh-induced responses to 58% of control, which was unchanged in the presence of mecamylamine but reduced to 5% of control by atropine. The nAChR-induced [Ca2+]i response was reduced to 50% by 10 microM ryanodine, whereas the mAChR-induced response was unaffected by ryanodine, suggesting that Ca2+ release from ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores may only contribute to the nAChR-induced [Ca2+]i responses. Perforated-patch whole cell recording at -60 mV shows that the rise in [Ca2+]i is concomitant with slow outward currents on mAChR activation and with rapid inward currents after nAChR activation. In conclusion, different signaling pathways mediate the rise in [Ca2+]i and membrane currents evoked by ACh binding to nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in rat intracardiac neurons.

Abstract
The involvement of G-proteins in generating the slow poststimulus afterdepolarising potential (sADP) induced by muscarinic receptor activation in immature (P10-20) rat olfactory cortical brain slice neurones was investigated under whole-cell patch clamp, using GTP-gamma-S (G-protein activator) or GDP-beta-S (G-protein blocker)-filled electrodes. In control experiments using K methylsulphate electrodes, cell resting potential (V(m)) and spike firing properties were unaffected over 10-15 min recording, although input resistance (R(N)) was slightly increased ( approximately 14%). Oxotremorine-M (OXO-M; 10 microM) produced a reversible slow depolarisation, an increase in R(N) ( approximately 90%) and induction of a slow poststimulus inward tail current (I(ADP)) (measured under voltage clamp at -60 mV) that was sustained during drug exposure (up to 15 min); the amplitude of slow inward rectifier (I(h)) currents activated from -50 mV were also apparently increased. By contrast, in GTP-gamma-S-loaded cells, R(N) was consistently decreased ( approximately 22%) and spike firing threshold (V(th)) was raised ( approximately 5 mV) after 10 min recording. In approximately 60% of loaded cells, a persistent muscarinic slow inward current and I(ADP) were induced by OXO-M; I(h) relaxation amplitude was also significantly decreased. The effects of GTP-gamma-S on R(N), V(th) and I(h) were partly counteracted by adding Ba(2+) (100 microM) to the bathing medium or mimicked by adding baclofen (GABA(B) receptor agonist; 100 microM) to normally-recorded cells. Intracellular GDP-beta-S (up to 30 min) had no effect on cell membrane properties or I(h), but irreversibly blocked the muscarinic slow inward current and I(ADP) induced by OXO-M. We conclude that both muscarinic responses require G-protein-linked transduction mechanisms for their generation.

Abstract
Cholinergic actions on subfornical organ (SFO) neurons in rat slice preparations were studied by using whole cell voltage- and current-clamp recordings. In the voltage-clamp recordings, carbachol and muscarine decreased the frequency of GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) in a dose-dependent manner, with no effect on the amplitudes or the time constants of miniature IPSCs. Meanwhile, carbachol did not influence the amplitude of the outward currents induced by GABA. Furthermore, carbachol and muscarine also elicited inward currents in a TTX-containing solution. From the current-voltage relationship, the reversal potential was estimated to be −7.1 mV. These carbachol-induced responses were antagonized by atropine. In the current-clamp recordings, carbachol depolarized the membrane with increased frequency of action potentials. These observations suggest that acetylcholine suppresses GABA release through muscarinic receptors located on the presynaptic terminals. Acetylcholine also directly affects the postsynaptic membrane through muscarinic receptors, by opening nonselective cation channels. A combination of these presynaptic and postsynaptic actions may enhance activation of SFO neurons by acetylcholine.

Abstract
Cholinergic mechanisms in the septohippocampal pathway contribute to several cognitive functions and impaired cholinergic transmission in this pathway may be related to the memory loss and dementia that accompanies normal aging and Alzheimer's disease and behavioral studies suggest that muscarinic mechanisms in the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) may contribute to these functions. The goal of the present study was to begin a characterization of the physiological and pharmacological effects of muscarine on antidromically identified septohippocampal neurons (SHNs). Muscarinic agonists produced a concentration-dependent excitation in >90% of SHNs tested using extracellular recordings in an in vitro rat brain slice preparation. The SHNs excited by muscarine had a broad range of conduction velocities (0.2 to 3.7 m/s; mean: 1.6+/-0.06 m/s; n=110), suggesting involvement of neurons with both slow (possibly cholinergic) and fast (possibly GABAergic) conducting fibers. The muscarine-induced excitations in SHNs were found not to be mediated via M1, M2 or M4 receptors, as they were not blocked by the M1-selective antagonists, pirenzepine or telenzepine or by the M2/M4-selective antagonist, methoctramine. In contrast, the M3-selective antagonist, 4-DAMP-mustard, blocked muscarinic excitations in a majority of SHNs, indicating the presence of M3 as well as non-M3-type responses. McN-A-343, an M1 and M5-selective agonist, excited 33% of neurons tested, confirming involvement of non-M3 receptors (possibly M5) and M3 receptors. Since the cholinergic and GABAergic MSDB neurons together innervate almost every type of hippocampal neuron, the effects of muscarine on SHNs would also have a profound effect on hippocampal circuitry.

Abstract
In the mammalian nervous system, various neurotransmitters can modulate cell excitability by inducing slow membrane potential changes. In the last decade, inhibition of potassium currents has been characterized as the primary mechanism by which neurones can undergo sustained depolarization. More recently (1990s), a new class of inward currents, which are voltage-dependent and mainly carried by sodium ions, has been found to be activated by various neurotransmitter receptors in mammalian central and peripheral neurones. Because the channels involved pass depolarizing current, are open at more negative membrane potentials than the resting potential, and are voltage-gated and persistent, these currents are capable of producing regenerative and maintained depolarizations and play an important role in neuronal signalling.
