In this article, the "tethered ligand" thrombin receptor was identified on human pancreatic tumor cells, MIA PaCa-2, using immunofluorescence studies with a monoclonal anti-thrombin receptor antibody. Pharmacological characterization, using 3H-labeled thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 (TRAP-6) as radioligand, demonstrated a single class of high-affinity binding sites (KD = 9.1+/-1.8 x 10(-7) M) and a binding capacity of 13.9+/-0.7 fmol/mg protein. These binding sites represent functional thrombin receptors, as shown by alpha-thrombin- and TRAP-6-induced mobilization of free intracellular calcium, protein kinase C translocation from cytosol to the cell membrane, and stimulation of DNA synthesis in MIA PaCa-2 cells. These results provide the first identification of tethered ligand thrombin receptor in human pancreatic cancer cells and suggest thrombin receptor involvement in mechanisms of human pancreatic tumor progression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D018179 Receptors, Thrombin A family of proteinase-activated receptors that are specific for THROMBIN. They are found primarily on PLATELETS and on ENDOTHELIAL CELLS. Activation of thrombin receptors occurs through the proteolytic action of THROMBIN, which cleaves the N-terminal peptide from the receptor to reveal a new N-terminal peptide that is a cryptic ligand for the receptor. The receptors signal through HETEROTRIMERIC GTP-BINDING PROTEINS. Small synthetic peptides that contain the unmasked N-terminal peptide sequence can also activate the receptor in the absence of proteolytic activity.
