Thrombin is well known as the pivotal enzyme in the formation of fibrin clots and platelet activation, but is just beginning to be recognized for its central role as a growth stimulator and initiator of postclotting cellular effects (1). This may explain why it has largely been overlooked in lists of potential therapeutic enhancers of wound healing. Because thrombin is a protease, its mechanism for stimulating cell proliferation has been difficult to understand. Early studies showed that thrombin's mitogenic activity was not simply the result of proteolysis, since other serine proteases including chymotrypsin were not mitogenic (2). Instead, it appeared that there was a specific high-affinity receptor for thrombin on fibroblasts and other cells (3). These receptors have been labeled (4), visualized (5,6), and isolated (7,s). For complete review see (9) or (1,lO). A number of studies have shown that thrombin mitogenesis requires two types of receptor mediated signals. One, initiated by proteolytically active thrombin, involves stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover (11). activation of protein kinase C (12), stimulation of NaCIH+ antiport (13), and induction of cfos and c-rnyc (14); a second involves signals generated by non-proteolytic high-affinity receptor occupancy (15). These later high-affinity interactions stimulate a transient increase in CAMP (16), and an additional set of yet to be defined signals. A "functional" thrombin receptor component (of the G protein-linked receptor family) has been recently cloned from human megakaryocyte mRNA (17), hamster fibroblasts (IS), and rat smooth muscle cells (19). This receptor is activated by a unique proteolytic cleavage which exposes a tethered ligand capable of self-activating the G protein-linked functions of this receptor component (17). This receptor is thus now referred to as the proteolytically-activated receptor for thrombin (PART). It appears that all of the G protein-linked signals stimulated by proteolytically active thrombin are initiated through the cleavage of this component. As described above, however, some of the signals required for thrombin mitogenesis require high-affinity receptor occupancy, but not proteolysis. In addition, recent studies have shown that activation of PART by the tethered ligand peptide alone cannot stimulate mitogenesis in many cells (20 and Carney, unpublished). Thus, consistent with the "double signal" hypothesis
