The M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Promotes Epidermal Differentiation


ABSTRACT: The M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRM3) is predominantly expressed in the basal epidermal layer where it mediates the effects of the auto/paracrine cytotransmitter acetylcholine. Patients with the autoimmune blistering disease pemphigus develop autoantibodies to CHRM3 and show alterations in keratinocyte adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, suggesting that CHRM3 controls these cellular functions. Chrm3 mice display altered epidermal morphology resembling that seen in patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Here, we characterized the cellular and molecular mechanisms whereby CHRM3 controls epidermal structure and function. We used single cell (sc)RNA-seq to evaluate keratinocyte heterogeneity and identify differentially expressed genes in specific subpopulations of epidermal cells in Chrm3 KO neonatal mice.
