Immobilized Thrombin Receptor Agonist Peptide Accelerates Wound Healing in Mice

Abstract: To accelerate the healing processes in wound repair, attempts have been repeatedly made to use growth factors including thrombin and its peptide fragments. Unfortunately, the employment of thrombin is limited because of its high liability and pro-inflammatory actions at high concentrations. Some cellular effects of thrombin in wound healing are mediated by the activation of protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). The thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP:SFLLRN) activates this receptor and mimics the effects … Show more

“…The platelets were activated with thrombin, a naturally occurring platelet activator that promotes wound healing. This fact induces a decreased wound size by 60%, increased the fibroblast to macrophage ratio and increased proliferating fibroblast 150% 12 . This activation of platelets also causes release of VEGF a mediator of angiogenesis that stimulates endothelial cell proliferation 13 .…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9] Thrombin receptor agonists have been shown to speed wound healing in animal models. [10][11][12][13] Fibrin also plays a critical role in wound healing. It forms the framework on which tissue repair takes place, and fibrin degradation products promote influx of neutrophils [14][15][16] and monocytes/macrophages.…”

“…Moreover, PAR-1 is expressed in both the epidermis and dermis of normal and hypertrophic scars and in keloid lesions (12). The functional consequence of PAR-1 expression in the skin remains elusive however although accelerated wound healing in mice after topical PAR-1 activation pinpoints PAR-1 as an important receptor in the skin (13).…”
