To investigate the role of Pyk2, a proline-rich non-receptor tyrosine kinase, in GPCR agonist, thrombin-induced HASMC growth and migration and injury-induced vascular wall remodeling. Thrombin, a GPCR agonist, activated Pyk2 in a time-dependent manner and inhibition of its stimulation attenuated thrombin-induced HASMC migration and proliferation. Thrombin also sequentially activated Gab1, p115 RhoGEF, Rac1, RhoA and Pak1 and interference with stimulation of these molecules attenuated thrombin-induced HASMC migration and proliferation. In addition, adenovirus-mediated expression of dominant negative Pyk2 inhibited thrombin-induced Gab1, p115 RhoGEF, Rac1, RhoA and Pak1 stimulation. Balloon injury also caused activation of Pyk2, Gab1, p115 RhoGEF, Rac1, RhoA and Pak1 in the carotid artery of rat and these responses were sensitive to inhibition by dominant negative Pyk2. Furthermore, inhibition of Pyk2 activation resulted in reduced recruitment of SMC onto the luminal surface and their proliferation in the intimal region leading to suppression of neointima formation. Together, these results demonstrate for the first time that Pyk2 plays a crucial role in GPCR agonist thrombin-induced HASMC growth and migration as well as balloon injury-induced neointima formation.
