Approval of the first protease-activated receptor antagonist: Rationale, development, significance, and considerations of a novel anti-platelet agent
2015, Blood ReviewsCitation Excerpt :PARs are expressed on the surface of numerous cell types. In the cardiovascular system this includes platelets [17–19], and also leukocytes [20], vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells [21–23], cardiomyocytes [24,25], and cardiac fibroblasts [26]. Humans express four PARs, with PAR1, PAR3 and PAR4 being activated by thrombin [17–19], and PAR2 by trypsin, tryptase, coagulation factors VIIa and Xa, and membrane-bound serine proteases MTSP1 and TMPRSS2 [27–31].
Functional role of protease activated receptors in vascular biology
2014, Vascular PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :ECs express PAR1, PAR2 and PAR4 [32]. VSMCs express PAR1 and PAR2, although their expression in normal arteries is low [33,34]. Human platelets express PAR1 and PAR4 [1].
Physiology, pharmacology, and therapeutic potential of protease-activated receptors in vascular disease
2012, Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Finally, constitutive endothelial PAR1 activation, at least in mice, also plays important roles in vasculogenesis: half of PAR1-deficient mouse embryos fail to develop through mid-gestation due to a defect in blood vessel formation (Connolly et al., 1996) which can be rescued by replacing PAR1 expression in endothelial cells alone (Griffin et al., 2001). Cultured human vascular smooth muscle (Bono et al., 1997) and endothelial cells (Molino et al., 1997c) also express PAR2. In human vasculature in situ, PAR2 mRNA and protein has been detected in the smooth muscle and endothelium of both arteries and veins (D'Andrea et al., 1998; Molino et al., 1998).
Bikunin (Urinary Trypsin Inhibitor): Structure, Biological Relevance, And Measurement
2007, Advances in Clinical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the intracellular C‐terminus of PAR interacts with creatine kinase activating Rho kinase. Aprotinin has been shown to prevent activation of PAR with reduction of cell proliferation and signaling [72]. In contrast to traditional receptors that sense through binding, proteolytic activation is irreversible and the cleaved receptors are degraded in lysosomes.
