Proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR1), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for thrombin, can be activated not only by PAR1-activating peptides (PAR1APs) based on the N-terminal cryptic tethered ligand sequence but also by an N-palmitoylated (Pal) peptide, Pal-RCLSSSAVANRSKKSRALF-amide (P1pal-19), based on the intracellular loop 3 of PAR1, designated pepducin, in human platelets or PAR1-transfected cells. The present article evaluated the actions of P1pal-19 and also the shorter peptide, Pal-RCLSSSAVANRS-amide (P1pal-12), known as a possible PAR1 antagonist, in multiple cells/tissues that naturally express PAR1. P1pal-19 as well as a PAR1AP, TFLLR-amide, evoked cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization in cultured human lung epithelial cells (A549) and rat gastric mucosal epithelial cells (RGM1). P1pal-19 and TFLLR-amide, but not a PAR2-activating peptide, SLIGRL-amide, caused delayed prostaglandin E(2) formation in RGM1 cells. P1pal-19, like TFLLR-amide, produced endothelial NO-dependent relaxation in rat aorta and epithelial prostanoid-dependent relaxation in mouse bronchus. The P1pal-19-induced relaxation remained constant even after desensitization of PAR1 with TFLLR-amide in either tissue. P1pal-19 failed to mimic the contractile effects of TFLLR-amide in the endothelium-denuded preparations of rat aorta or superior mesenteric artery and the rat gastric longitudinal smooth muscle strips. P1pal-12 partially inhibited the vasorelaxation caused by TFLLR-amide and P1pal-19, but not SLIGRL-amide, in the rat aorta. Our data thus indicate that P1pal-19 is capable of mimicking the effects of PAR1APs in the endothelial and epithelial, but not smooth muscle, cells/tissues, and suggest that P1pal-12 may act as a PAR1 antagonist in the vascular endothelium.
