Dynamic responsiveness of self‐assembling peptide‐based nano‐drug systems

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
This review discusses dynamically responsive self‐assembling peptide‐based nano‐drug systems, including the stimulation response, strategy of biomimicry, subcellular internalization, and the applications of peptide nano‐drug materials, and concludes with a brief outlook of their challenges and opportunities in clinical translation.

Cathepsin B inhibition interferes with metastatic potential of human melanoma: an in vitro and in vivo study

Molecular Cancer, 2010
Background Cathepsins represent a group of proteases involved in determining the metastatic potential of cancer cells. Among these are cysteinyl- (e.g. cathepsin B and cathepsin L) and aspartyl-proteases (e.g.

Crystal structures of recombinant rat cathepsin B and a cathepsin B-inhibitor complex. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
The lysosomal cysteine proteinase cathepsin B (EC 3.4.22.1) plays an important role in protein catabolism and has also been implicated in various disease states. The crystal structures of two forms of native recombinant rat cathepsin B have been determined.

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Structural basis for specificity of propeptide-enzyme interaction in barley C1A cysteine peptidases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
C1A cysteine peptidases are synthesized as inactive proenzymes. Activation takes place by proteolysis cleaving off the inhibitory propeptide. The inhibitory capacity of propeptides from barley cathepsin L and B-like peptidases towards commercial and ...

Osteocyte Estrogen Receptor β (Ot‐ERβ) Regulates Bone Turnover and Skeletal Adaptive Response to Mechanical Loading Differently in Male and Female Growing and Adult Mice

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 186-197, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Age‐related bone loss is a failure of balanced bone turnover and diminished skeletal mechanoadaptation. Estrogen receptors, ERα and ERβ, play critical roles in osteoprotective regulation activated by estrogen and mechanical signals. Previous studies mainly focused on ERα and showed that osteocyte‐ERα (Ot‐ERα) regulated trabecular, but not ...

Mutant K-ras Regulates Cathepsin B Localization on the Surface of Human Colorectal Carcinoma Cells

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2003
Cathepsin B protein and activity are known to localize to the basal plasma membrane of colon carcinoma cells following the appearance of K-ras mutations. Using immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation techniques and two human colon carcinoma cell

Gene structure of mouse cathepsin B

FEBS Letters, 1990
The structure of a genomic DNA fragment encoding mouse cathepsin B was characterized. The genomic insert spans 15 kbp and contains 9 exons encoding the 339 amino acid residues of mouse preprocathepsin B. Intron break‐points are not found at the junctions of the pre‐peptide, pro‐peptide and mature enzyme. Like other cysteine proteinase genes, the region

Muscle‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Exercise‐Induced Cognitive Protection in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
sEVs have a critical role in orchestrating interorgan crosstalk and mediating exercise‐induced therapeutic effects. Lin et al. demonstrates that sEVs miR‐17/20a‐5p mediates the muscle‐brain crosstalk and emphasizes the central role of mTOR signaling in executing molecular programs that can protect brain health in response to exercise. Abstract Physical
