- Platelets play a pivotal role in coagulation and haemostasis. Their most prominent task is to seal damaged blood vessels by the formation of a platelet plug at the damaged area. Once the injury is covered, platelets retract the coagulum to close the wound and allow the blood to flow freely in the vessel. Platelets are strongly activated by the essential enzyme thrombin, formed in the coagulation cascade. Activation of the platelet thrombin receptors PAR1 and PAR4 leads to shape change, secretion of granule content, and aggregation, all of which can be accomplished by each receptor individually. However more and more findings indicate that there are differences between the receptors and that they have different physiological functions. This thesis presents studies performed to elucidate the relative role of PAR1 and PAR4 in platelet activation and coagulation. We have studied the effects on platelet activation and coagulation, and revealed a possible physiological role for PAR4 in the stabilisation of the coagulum. We also investigated the relative role of PAR1 and PAR4 in the cross-talk between thrombin and epinephrine with and without inhibition of COX-1. We demonstrated that PAR4 interacts with adrenergic receptors and causes an aggregation of platelets dependent on released ATP and its receptor P2X1, thereby circumventing the inhibition by aspirin. Not only is this an interesting specific role for PAR4, but it may also be of clinical importance considering that COX-1 inhibition is the most common treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease to prevent thrombosis. We show that the number of PAR1 receptors varied between donors and that this variation was correlated to the response on receptor activation. The number of PAR1 receptors on the platelet surface was decreased after PAR1 stimulation but increased after stimulation of other receptors. In a final attempt to elucidate the nature of PAR1 and PAR4 we used mathematics to evaluate the effect of co-stimulation of the receptors. We found a strong synergistic effect for both platelet activation and aggregation. This indicates that PAR1 and PAR4 interact in a yet unknown way to regulate or amplify the effect of each other rather than merely transmitting the incoming signal the same way.
