pubmed:abstractText |
This study focused on proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) in primary cultured human meningioma cells. Stimulation of these cells with the serine proteinase trypsin resulted in a dose-dependent transient calcium response. Since the specific PAR-2 agonist peptide SLIGRL also induced [Ca2+]i mobilization in human meningioma cells and successive application of SLIGRL and trypsin elicited no new calcium signal we conclude that trypsin-induced calcium signaling is mediated by PAR-2 in human meningioma cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing functional PAR-2-type receptors in human brain tumor cells.
