Expression of cholinergic receptors in the presence of a NO donor and a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Expression of M3 and M5 receptors was reduced significantly in response to SMN. a SNAP (200 μM) alone increased the expression of M3 receptors, significantly. b SNAP alone (50, 100, and 200 μM) increased the expression of M5 receptors, significantly. SMN along with SNAP decreased the stimulatory effects of SNAP on the expression of the two receptors (n = 3, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001). All values are expressed as ± SE. Abbreviations: M3, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 3; M5, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 5; NS, not significant; SMN, scopolamine methyl nitrate; SNAP, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine
