Immunopharmacology Comments
PAR2 receptors have been reported to elicit pain and inflammation through a neurogenic mechanism of action, causing release of substance P, activation of NK1 receptors, and sensitization of TRPV1 voltage-gated ion channels. This action can be negated using a selective NK1 receptor antagonist (L732,138) or a TRPV1 receptor antagonist (capsazepine) [15]. PAR2 receptors are expressed in immune cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems and have been shown to play a role in several peripheral inflammatory conditions. PAR2 activation has been associated with allergic airway inflammation, and allergic sensitisation. Anti-PAR2 antibody or PAR2 inhibiting pepducin alleviate allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in mice [35]. PAR2 expression by astrocytes and microglia within the CNS suggests that PAR2 modulation may be a novel approach for developing therapeutics for CNS disorders with an inflammatory association [7]. A study in obese mice suggests that activation of PAR2 is associated with increased adipose expression of inflammatory factors [35].

Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Splice variant/deletion
Species:  Human
Description:  6bp-deletion (−133GAGAAG−128) decreased PAR2 mRNA and PXR mRNA expression and led to down regulations of MDR1 and CYP3A4.
References:  38
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism
Species:  Human
Description:  Subjects with SNP (c.621C>T) had higher serum IgE and eosinophil count, indicating a higher risk of atopy.
Nucleotide change:  c.621C>T
SNP accession:

General Comments
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Experimental in vitro evidence, using affinity-purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS), indicates a protein-protein interaction between PAR2 and the SARS-CoV-2 Orf9c protein [17], although whether this interaction is realistic based on spatial distribution of the host and viral proteins within cells was not addressed in this study. Speculatively, PAR2 ligands such as AZ3451, GB110, or AZ8838 could be utilised to examine the effect of blocking the PAR2/Orf9c protein-protein interaction on SARS-CoV-2 pathobiology.
