“…GPCRs, like proteinase‐activated receptors (PARs), nucleotide P2Y receptors, and opioid receptors, exert important biological functions in the brain. PARs are widely expressed in the brain and regulate brain development, neuronal death and survival, cell proliferation, and inflammation in response to extracellular serine proteases, like thrombin, trypsin, and tryptase (Luo et al. 2007a, 2008).…”

“…PAR1 is also expressed in neurons and astrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS), and in neurons of the peripheral nervous system, where they have important regulatory roles both in normal and disease states [5,6,13,14]. In normal brain, thrombin is involved in the synaptic organization and plasticity, while in neurodegenerative disorders it has dual opposite effects [24,25]. Thus, low concentrations of thrombin rescue neural cells from death after brain damage, whereas at high concentrations augments the brain damage.…”

“…The complex interactome of PAR1 and its wide cellular expression give an idea of the multiple physiological functions of this receptor and of the pathological implications of its dysfunctions, mainly in the cardiovascular [9,11,157,158], immune [7,159], and nervous [24,25,160,161] systems, inflammation [7,[162][163][164] and cancer [12,165,166], that are summarized in Table 2. Many of these pleiotropic actions are PAR1mediated in combination with PAR2 or PAR4.…”

“…In addition to the key role of thrombin in the blood coagulation cascade [1], this serine protease regulates multiple effects on an increasing variety of cells, such as: platelets [2,3], endothelial and smooth muscle cells [2,4], neurons and astrocytes in the nervous system [2,[4][5][6][7], immune and inflammatory cells [8,9], osteoblasts [10], and tumor cells [11][12][13][14]. These cellular effects are mainly mediated by the activation of the protease-activated receptor PAR1 [15].…”
