蛋白酶激活受体2(PAR-2)激动剂对肥大细胞释放类胰蛋白酶的影响

研究反肉桂酰-亮-异亮-甘-精-亮-鸟-酰胺]（tc-LIGRLO),一种PAR-2激动剂,对肥大细胞类胰蛋白酶释放的影响。结果显示,经过15min的培养,tc-LIGRLO可引起比基础分泌量增加1倍以上的类胰蛋白酶释放,作用强度超过抗IgE抗体和钙离子导入剂（calcium ionophore A23187,CI),而反PAR-2激动剂-反肉桂酰-鸟-亮-精-甘-异亮-亮-酰胺]（tc-OLRGIL)无此作用,培养时间延长到30min时对tc-LIGRLO的作用无明显影响,其时间关系曲线表明,tc-LIGRLO的作用从1min开始,3min后达高峰,结果表明,PAR-2激动剂tc-LIGRLO是一种高效类胰蛋白酶释放刺激剂,在肥大细胞上可能有PAR-2存在。

Effect of a proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) agonist on tryptase release from human mast cells

Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) expression has been observed on numerous cell types. However, little is known about the functional expression of PAR-2 in human mast cells. In the current study, the actions of a PAR-2 agonist trans-cinnamoyl-Leu-Ile-Gly-Arg-Leu-Orn-amide (tc-LIGRLO) on tryptase release from dispersed human colonic mast cells were examined. The results showed that tc-LIGRLO was able to induce a fold increase in tryptase release over the basal level following a 15 min incubation of colonic mast cells, whereas tc-OLRGIL did not have any effect on tryptase release. The potency of tc-LIGRLO appeared greater than that of anti-IgE and calcium ionophore A23187 (CI) in induction of tryptase release. Extending the incubation time to 30 min had no significant effect on the actions of tc-LIGRLO or anti-IgE. In the time course study, it was observed that the tryptase release from mast cells induced by tc-LIGRLO started at 1 min and peaked at 3 min following incubation. The above-mentioned results indicate that tc-LIGRLO is a potent stimulus of tryptase release from human mast cells, which strongly suggests that PAR-2s are expressed in human mast cells.
