Thrombin-Stimulated Proliferation of Cultured Human Synovial Fibroblasts Through Proteolytic Activation of Proteinase-Activated Receptor-1
We examined the mechanism of thrombin on proliferation of synovial fibroblasts obtained from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thrombin concentration-dependently induced proliferation of synovial fibroblasts. Proliferation in response to thrombin (10 U /ml) was completely blocked by hirudin. TP367 and TP50...
