Abstract: Patients with pancreatic cancer frequently suffer from thrombosis due to excess thrombin generation. Yet, the effects of thrombin on pancreatic cancer are still poorly understood. The thrombin receptor PAR-1 is responsible for cellular effects of thrombin. PAR-1 plays an important role in the progression of different solid tumours in vitro. In breast cancer the level of PAR-1 expression correlates with invasiveness. Our aim was to correlate PAR-1 mRNA and protein expression level with the grade of differentiat… Show more

“…Overall changes in integrin and BMP‐4 and ligand‐independent down‐regulation of DAP‐3 [34–36] could also account for the previously observed inhibition of invasion observed after reintroduction of ERα [9]. Other events such as down‐regulation of thrombin receptor and up‐regulation of thrombomodulin could also account for the decreased invasiveness of these cells [37–39]. In addition, the down‐regulation of CTGF, which promotes angiogenesis [40], suggests that ERα exogenous expression could reduce the angiogenesis events during tumor formation.…”

“…In addition to its well-recognized roles in platelet and vascular biology, PAR1 has been proposed to be involved in the invasive and metastatic processes of breast cancer (36, 37), pancreatic cancer (38), and melanoma (39–41) and has been identified as an oncogene in the transformation of NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts (42, 43). PAR1 can stimulate Gα i , Gα q , and Gα 12/13 pathways, which contribute to various processes involved in the regulation of tumor cell biology.…”

“…Functional thrombin receptors have been identified in human pancreatic cancer cells but not in healthy pancreatic tissue. 38 Aside from its procoagulant roles, thrombin enhances the adhesion of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells to extracellular matrix proteins and to endothelial cells, suggesting that it is important for pancreatic tumour growth and invasion. 7 …”
