Abstract
Human lung fibroblasts express proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR 1 ), PAR 2 and PAR 3 , but not PAR 4 . Because PAR 2 has inflammatory effects on human primary bronchial fibroblasts (HPBF), we asked 1) whether the inflammatory mediators TNF-α and LPS could modify HPBF PAR expression and 2) whether modified PAR expression altered HPBF responsiveness to PAR agonists in terms of calcium signaling and cell growth. TNF-α and LPS induced PAR 4 mRNA expression (RT-PCR) at 6 h and 24 h, respectively. TNF-α and LPS also upregulated PAR 2 mRNA expression with similar kinetics but had negligible effect on PAR 1 and PAR 3 . Flow cytometry for PAR 1 , PAR 2 , and PAR 3 also demonstrated selective PAR 2 upregulation in response to TNF-α and LPS. Intracellular calcium signaling to SLIGKV-NH2 (a selective PAR 2 -activating peptide; PAR 2 -AP) and AYPGQV-NH 2 (PAR 4 -AP) revealed that TNF-α and LPS induced maximal responses to these PAR agonists at 24 h and 48 h, respectively. Upregulation of PAR 2 by TNF-α heightened HPBF responses to trypsin, while PAR 4 induction enabled cathepsin-G-mediated calcium signaling. Cathepsin-G also disarmed PAR 1 and PAR 2 in HPBF, while tryptase disarmed PAR 2 . Induction of PAR 4 also enabled thrombin to elicit a calcium signal through both PAR 1 and PAR 4 , as determined by a desensitization assay. In cell growth assays the PAR 4 agonists cathepsin-G and AYPGQV-NH 2 reduced HPBF cell number only in TNF-α-treated HPBF. Moreover, the mitogenic effect of thrombin (a PAR 1 /PAR 4 agonist) but not the PAR 1 -AP TFLLR-NH 2 , was ablated in TNF-α-treated HPBF. These findings point to an important mechanism, whereby cellular responses to thrombin and cathepsin-G can be modified during an inflammatory response.
