N2 - Secretion of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by cultured cells is coupled to several receptors, including m1 muscarinic (m1AChR), and is associated with decreased production of βA4 amyloid. Secreted and cell-associated APP levels were measured in m1AChR-transfected PC12 cells stimulated with the non-selective agonist carbachol or the M1-selective agonist, AF102B. Secreted APP levels following stimulation with AF102B (5-60 min) were about half compared with carbachol. Yet, following 24 h stimulation with carbachol or AF102B, cell-associated APP levels were similarly decreased. This may be associated with a smaller reduction in APP secretion following 24 h stimulation with AF102B as compared with carbachol. AF102B may therefore have an advangage over non-selective muscarinic ligands for sustained decrease of cell-associated APP.
