Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) is abundantly expressed in gastric mucosal chief cells, facilitating pepsinogen secretion. In the present study, we investigated whether PAR-1, a thrombin receptor, could modulate pepsinogen secretion in rats. The PAR-1-activating peptide TFLLR-NH(2) as well as the PAR-2-activating peptide SLIGRL-NH(2), administered i.v. repeatedly at 1-h intervals, significantly increased gastric pepsinogen secretion over 2-4 h (after two to four doses). In contrast, the control peptide FTLLR-NH(2), given in the same manner, had no such effect. Thus, PAR-1, like PAR-2, might function to facilitate pepsinogen secretion, suggesting a novel role of the thrombin-PAR-1-pathway in the stomach.
