The protease thrombin is a potent activator of various cell types. Thrombin cleaves and thereby activates its own seven-transmembrane-domain receptor which couples to G proteins. Thrombin also can inhibit neuronal differentiation, supposedly by degrading components of the extracellular matrix. Here we report that active thrombin induces immediate cell rounding and neurite retraction in differen...
Tsopanoglou, Nikos E., Paraskevi Andriopoulou, and Michael E. Maragoudakis. On the mechanism of thrombin-induced angiogenesis: involvement of v 3-integrin. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 283: C1501–C1510, 2002. First published July 17, 2002; 10.1152/ajpcell.00162.2002.— Thrombin has been reported to be a potent angiogenic factor both in vitro and in vivo, and many of the cellular effects of thrombin...
OBJECTIVE Over-expression of thrombin in ovarian cancer cells is associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the role of thrombin in inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in SKOV3 epithelial ovarian cancer cells. METHODS After thrombin treatment SKOV3 cells were subjected to western blots, reverse-transcription PCR, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quanti...
The effect of thrombin was tested in vitro on rings of bovine retinal small arteries (internal diameter approximately 200 microns). Cumulative addition of thrombin (0.001-10 units/ml) induced a variable concentration-dependent contraction of the retinal arteries. The contractions were slow in onset and reached a plateau after 5-8 minutes when thrombin was added cumulatively to the organ bath. T...
We used electron microscope autoradiography (EMAR) to visualize the interaction of 125I-thrombin with its surface receptors on mouse embryo (ME) cells. Autoradiographic grains were spaced over the surface of cells in a periodic nonrandom pattern, indicating 125I-thrombin association with clusters of thrombin receptors. The grain spacing varied slightly from cell to cell, indicating subpopulatio...
We investigated the effects of thrombin on the induction of heat shock proteins (HSP) 70 and 27, and the mechanism behind the induction in aortic smooth muscle A10 cells. Thrombin increased the level of HSP27 but had little effect on the level of HSP70. Thrombin stimulated the accumulation of HSP27 dose dependently between 0.01 and 1 U/ml and cycloheximide reduced the accumulation. Thrombin sti...
Given that thrombin is ubiquitously expressed at sites of vascular injury, and that osteogenic cells express receptors for thrombin, we questioned whether thrombin could attract osteogenic cells to a bony wound. Using a scratch wound assay, thrombin stimulated a significant increase in migration of osteogenic cultures of primary marrow cells. This effect was dependent on thrombin proteolytic ac...
Steady-state kinetic parameters were determined for the action of human a-thrombin on human fibrin I polymer, an intermediate in the a-thrombin-catalyzed conversion of fibrinogen to the fibrin matrix of blood clots during the terminal phase of the blood clotting cascade. Values of 49 s-’ and 7.5 pM were determined (at 37 “C, pH 7.4, I’/2 0.17) for Lt and K,, respectively. Studies of the effect ...
The thrombin mutant, des-ETW-thrombin, lacking Glu(146), Thr(147), and Trp(148) within a unique insertion loop located at the extreme end of the primary specificity pocket, has been shown previously to exhibit reduced catalytic activity with respect to macromolecular and synthetic thrombin substrates and reduced or enhanced susceptibility to inhibition. Investigation of the hydrolysis of peptid...
In this study we show that high molecular weight kininogen (HK) inhibited alpha-thrombin-induced aggregation of human platelets in a dose-dependent manner with complete inhibition occurring at plasma concentration (0.67 mumol/L) of HK. HK (0.67 mumol/L) also completely inhibited thrombin-induced cleavage of aggregin (Mr = 100 Kd), a surface membrane protein that mediates adenosine diphosphate (...
