Many proteases cut the PAR2 N-terminus resulting in conformational changes that activate cells. Synthetic peptides corresponding to newly exposed N-terminal sequences of PAR2 also activate the receptor at micromolar concentrations. PAR2-selective small molecules reported here induce PAR2-mediated intracellular calcium signaling at nanomolar concentrations (EC50 = 15-100 nM, iCa(2+), CHO-hPAR2 cells). These are the most potent and efficient small molecule ligands to activate PAR2-mediated calcium release and chemotaxis, including for human breast and prostate cancer cells.
许多蛋白酶切割PAR2的N端,导致构象变化从而激活细胞。与PAR2新暴露的N端序列相对应的合成肽在微摩尔浓度下也能激活该受体。本文报道的PAR2选择性小分子在纳摩尔浓度下(EC50 = 15 - 100 nM,细胞内钙离子,CHO - hPAR2细胞)可诱导PAR2介导的细胞内钙信号传导。这些是激活PAR2介导的钙释放和趋化作用最有效且高效的小分子配体,包括对人乳腺癌和前列腺癌细胞。
