PAR2expression in peripheral blood monocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Objectives-Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR 2 ) is a G protein-coupled receptor activated by serine proteinases with proinflammatory activity. A study was undertaken to investigate the presence and functional significance of PAR 2 expression on rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-derived leucocyte subsets.Methods-Venous blood was obtained from patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA) as well as healthy control subjects. Surface expression of PAR 2 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was analysed by flow cy… Show more

“…18 Many of these, in turn, have been implicated in the pathology of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as RA. 19 In addition, we have shown recently that RA patients having a disease flare have increased levels of PAR-2 expression on their PBMC than individuals with stable disease, 20 supporting an inflammatory role for this molecule in the disease.…”

“…Our study demonstrates that blocking of PAR1–4 resulted in reduction in the severity of synovitis and cartilage damage following a joint bleed in haemophilic mice. Similar protective effects on the severity of arthritis are found in studies using PAR1 and PAR2‐deficient mice . In this proof of concept study we choose to silence all four PARs as it is known that the affinity of plasmin is practically similar for all PARs.…”

In this proof of concept study we choose to silence all four PARs as it is known that the affinity of plasmin is practically similar for all PARs.…”
