    Article Title: Proteinase-activated receptor-1 is an anti-inflammatory signal for colitis mediated by a type 2 immune response.
    Article Snippet: Background: Activation of colonic proteinase activated receptor-1 (PAR1) provokes colonic inflammation and increases mucosal permeability in mice.. The mechanism of inflammation is not neurogenic like in the paw of rats but depends on PAR1-mediated activation monocytic cells.. PAR1 activation in the colon increases the release of lymphocyte T helper-1 (TH1) cytokines.

    Article Title: Thrombin-induced expression of endothelial CX3CL1 potentiates monocyte CCL2 production and transendothelial migration.
    Article Snippet: The specific PAR1 antagonist SCH 79797 (10 M, Tocris, Avonmouth, UK) [21] and the I B kinase (IKK) inhibitor acety-11-keto- -boswellic acid (AK BA; 10 M) [20] were added 20 min prior to stimulation with thrombin (3 U/ml).

    Inhibition:

    Article Title: Protease activated receptor-1, PAR1, promotes placenta trophoblast invasion and beta-catenin stabilization.
    Article Snippet: Despite extensive efforts toward elucidation of the molecular pathway controlling cytotrophoblast (CTB) invasion to the uterine decidua, it remains poorly defined.. There are striking similarities between tumor cell invasion and cytotrophoblast implantation to the deciduas whereby the role of Protease Activated Receptors (PARs) and wnt signaling is well recognized.. We examine here consequences of modulation of PAR1 and PAR2 expression and function on CTB invasion and b-catenin stabilization.

    Concentration Assay:

    Article Title: Intrinsic activation of the coagulation pathway induces mouse sciatic nerve hypoexcitability.
    Article Snippet: Thrombin (T4648, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was applied at a concentration of 200 U/ml. .. A PAR1 antagonist (SCH 79797, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom) was applied at a concentration of 1 μM. ..

    MTT Assay:

    Article Title: Effect of enteropeptidase on survival of cultured hippocampal neurons under conditions of glutamate toxicity.
    Article Snippet: The effects of full size bovine enteropeptidase (BEK) and of human recombinant light chain enteropeptidase (L HEP) on survival of cultured hippocampal neurons were studied under conditions of glutamate excitotoxicity.. Low con centrations of L HEP or BEK (0.1 1 and 0.1 0.5 nM, respectively) protected hippocampal neurons against the death caused by 100 μM glutamate.. Using the PAR1 (proteinase activated receptor) antagonist SCH 79797, we revealed a PAR1 dependent mechanism of neuroprotective action of low concentrations of enteropeptidase.
