Abstract£ºObjective: To study the effects of PAR-2 agonists SLIGKV and tc-LIGRLO, trypsin and its inhibitors on intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i in the H292 lung epithelial cell. Methods: Fluo-3/AM fluorescence technique and laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) were used to measure the intracellular calcium level after different reagents were added in Hanks of H292 cells. Results: Trypsin£¬SLIGKV, tc-LIGRLO could increase the intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i in H292 cells. Compared with control, the average fluorescent intensities were increased 267£¥,60£¥,37£¥, respectively.Trypsin inhibitors soybean trypsin inhibitor(SBTI) and ¦Á1-antitrypsin(¦Á1-AT) could inhibit trypsin induced the increase of [Ca2+]i in H292 cells. Conclusion: Activation of protease-activated receptor-2 induce the increase of [Ca2+]i in H292 cells. Trypsin inhibitors could inhibit trypsin induced the increase of [Ca2+]i in H292 cells.
