Factor Xa Signaling Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Diseases.
2017
: The coagulation protease Factor Xa (FXa) triggers a variety of signaling pathways through activation of protease-activated receptors (PARs) and non-PAR receptors. FXa-mediated signaling is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases including fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Thus, targeting of FXa can have great clinical significance in terms of the treatment of these disorders. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the mechanism of FXa signaling in cellular and animal systems under (patho) physiological conditions for a better understanding and hence a better management of FXa-induced disorders.
