Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1, a G-protein-coupled receptor activated by thrombin, mediates thrombin-induced proliferation of osteoblasts. The current study was undertaken to define the role of PAR-1 in bone repair. Holes were drilled transversely through the diaphysis of both tibiae of PAR-1-null and wild-type mice. Three days later, fewer cells had invaded the drill site from adjacent bone marrow in PAR-1-null mice than in wild-type mice, and a lower percentage of cells were labeled with [(3)H]thymidine in PAR-1-null drill sites. More osteoclasts were also observed in the drill site of PAR-1-null mice than in wild-type mice 7 days after drilling. New mineralized bone area was less in the drill site and on the adjacent periosteal surface in PAR-1-null mice than in wild-type mice at day 9. From day 14, no obvious differences could be seen between PAR-1-null and wild-type tibiae. In vitro thrombin caused a dose-dependent increase in proliferation of bone marrow stromal cells isolated from wild-type mice but not PAR-1-null mice. Thrombin stimulated survival of bone marrow stromal cells from both wild-type and PAR-1-null mice, but it did not affect bone marrow stromal cell migration in either wild-type or PAR-1-null cells. The results indicate that PAR-1 plays an early role in bone repair.
