| Popis: | Thrombin is a multifunctional serine proteinase that induces a variety of responses from neural cells by cleavage of proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) including PAR1 and PAR4. Thrombin/PAR signaling has been implicated in the neuroinflammatory response that occurs in the brain following stroke and other central nervous system pathologies. The neuroinflammatory response involves astrocytes and results in induction of proinflammatory chemokines including interleukin-8 (IL-8 or CXCL8) and interferon-γ-induced protein-10 (IP-10 or CXCL10) in these cells. Astroctyes are known to express PARs, however the effect of thrombin on astrocytic chemokine secretion is unknown. Here we characterize the ability of thrombin to induce proliferation/metabolic activity and chemokine secretion in primary human fetal astrocytes. Thrombin induces dose-dependent astrocyte proliferation as well as release of both IL-8 and IP-10, but not IL-6 or the chemokine regulated and normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). The chemokine responses were mimicked by PAR1, but not PAR4, activating peptides. Our data indicate that astrocytic chemokine release is part of the neuroinflammatory response triggered by the exposure of the central nervous system to thrombin. |
