A cytoprotective role for protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) has been suggested in a number of systems including the airway, and to this end, we have studied the role that PARs play in the regulation of airway ion transport, using cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial cells. PAR2 activators, added to the basolateral membrane, caused a transient, Ca2+-dependent increase in short-circuit current (Isc), followed by a sustained inhibition of amiloride-sensitive Isc. These phases corresponded with a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration and then a transient increase, followed by decrease, in basolateral K+ permeability. After PAR2 activation and the addition of amiloride, the forskolin-stimulated increase in Isc was also attenuated. By contrast, PAR2 activators added to the apical surface of the epithelia or PAR1 activators added to both the apical and basolateral surfaces were without effect. PAR2 may, therefore, play a role in the airway, regulating Na+ absorption and anion secretion, processes that are central to the control of airway surface liquid volume and composition.
