Abstract:
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are G-protein-coupled receptors that function in hemostasis and thrombosis, as well as in the inflammatory and proliferative responses triggered by tissue injury. We have previously shown that PAR1 or PAR2 occupancy by specific PAR-agonist peptides (PAR-APs) induces tissue factor (TF) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), where TF regulation by PAR1 (but not by PAR2) requires intact endothelial caveolin-enriched membrane microdomains in which PAR1 and caveolin-1 associate.
