Potential novel targets: Protease-activated receptors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the most devastating diffuse fibrosing lung disease which remains refractory to therapy. Protease activated receptor (PAR)-2 is an important mediator of fibrosis and PAR-2 deficiency limits bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Here, we addressed whether PAR-2 deficiency persistently reduces bleomycininduced pulmonary fibrosis or merely delays disease...
متن کاملProtease-activated receptors mediate crosstalk between coagulation and fibrinolysis.
The coagulation and fibrinolytic systems contribute to malignancy by increasing angiogenesis, tumor growth, tumor invasion, and tumor metastasis. Oncogenic transformation increases the expression of tissue factor (TF) that results in local generation of coagulation proteases and activation of protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 and PAR-2. We compared the PAR-dependent expression of urokinase pl...

Protease signaling in cells elicits multiple physiologically important responses via protease-activated receptors (PARs). There are 4 members of this family of G-protein-coupled receptors (PAR1-4). PARs are activated by proteolysis of the N terminus to reveal a tethered ligand. The rate-limiting step of PAR signaling is determined by the efficiency of proteolysis of the N terminus, which is reg...
متن کاملDifferential Signaling by Protease-Activated Receptors: Implications for Therapeutic Targeting
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are a family of four G protein-coupled receptors that exhibit increasingly appreciated differences in signaling and regulation both within and between the receptor class. By nature of their proteolytic self-activation mechanism, PARs have unique processes of receptor activation, "ligand" binding, and desensitization/resensitization. These distinctive aspects ...
متن کاملCoagulation and anticoagulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable, progressive interstitial lung disease with a prognosis that is worse than that of many cancers. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between IPF and thrombotic vascular events. Coagulation and fibrinolytic systems play central roles in wound healing and repair, processes hypothesised to be abnormal within the IPF lung. Animal mode...
