Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) is a receptor that activated by several proteases such as trypsin and tryptase. However, the role of PAR-2 in tumor microenvironment is unclear. In the present project, we have revealed that endothelial PAR-2 activation induces angiogenesis and tumor growth using murine models. In addition, we showed the importance of mast cell-derived tryptase as a ligand of PAR-2 in the tumor tissue.
