Abstract

Human glioblastoma cell line A172 expressed protease-activated receptor-1 and -2 (PAR-1 and PAR-2). We investigated the effects of the stimulation of these receptors by receptor-activating agonist peptides on the Ca2+ signaling, protein kinase C translocation, cell morphology and cell proliferation in A172. Both PAR-1 agonist SFLLRN and PAR-2 agonist SLIGKV induced an increase in [Ca2+]i. The prior treatment of A172 with PAR-2 agonist SLIGKV did not influence the [Ca2+]i response to PAR-1 agonist SFLLRN or thrombin, however, the prior treatment with PAR-1 agonist SFLLRN or thrombin completely abolished the second response to PAR-2 agonist SLIGKV. Treatment with each agonist peptide produced thinner and fewer processes in A172. The PAR-2 agonist inhibited the proliferation of A172 significantly while PAR-1 agonist did not. PKC-alpha and gamma were translocated from cytosol to membrane with either PAR-1 or PAR-2 stimulation, however, L was specifically translocated with SFLLRN, and lambda with SLIGKV, respectively. These results indicated that PAR-1 and PAR-2 stimulation produced a similar [Ca2+]i response and morphological changes in A172 glioblastoma while the effects on the cell proliferation and activation of PKC isozymes wer...Continue Reading
