All Roads Lead to Cathepsins: The Role of Cathepsins in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Cathepsins are lysosomal proteases that are essential to maintain cellular physiological homeostasis and are involved in multiple processes, such as immune and energy regulation.

Shaping the Immune Response: Cathepsins in Virus-Dendritic Cell Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune cells to detect viral invasion and play a central role in initiating and shaping antiviral immune responses.

Cathepsins Trigger Cell Death and Regulate Radioresistance in Glioblastoma

open access: yesCells, 2022
Treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) remains very challenging, and it is particularly important to find sensitive and specific molecular targets. In this work, we reveal the relationship between the expression of cathepsins and radioresistance in GBM.

The Multifaceted Role of the Lysosomal Protease Cathepsins in Kidney Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017
Kidney disease is worldwide the 12th leading cause of death affecting 8–16% of the entire population. Kidney disease encompasses acute (short-lasting episode) and chronic (developing over years) pathologies both leading to renal failure.

Spatial localization of cathepsins: Implications in immune activation and resolution during infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Cathepsins were first described, as endolysosomal proteolytic enzymes in reference to the organelles where they degrade the bulk of endogenous and exogenous substrates in a slightly acidic environment.

Targeting Cathepsins in Neurodegeneration: Biochemical Advances [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background/Objectives: Cathepsins, lysosomal proteases crucial for neuronal proteostasis, mediate the clearance of misfolded and aggregated proteins. Their dysregulation is implicated in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer ...

CD74-Targeted Cathepsin-Inhibitor Antibody–Drug Conjugate Triggers Apoptosis in DLBCL [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Transcriptomic analyses of public datasets (TCGA and GTEx) revealed that both CD74 and Cathepsin L (CTSL) are significantly overexpressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) compared to normal tissues, and that their expression levels are highly ...

Expression of Cathepsins B, D, and G in Extracranial Arterio-Venous Malformation

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery, 2021
Objectives: We have previously identified a population of cells that expressed stemness-associated markers in extracranial arterio-venous malformation (AVM) and demonstrated expression of cathepsins B, D, and G on embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like ...

The Role of Cysteine Peptidases in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation and Modulation of Immune System Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Cysteine cathepsins are primarily involved in the degradation and recycling of proteins in endo-lysosomal compartments but are also gaining recognition as pivotal proteolytic contributors to various immune functions.

Cathepsins B, D, and G Are Expressed in Metastatic Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
AimWe have previously demonstrated the presence of two cancer stem cell (CSC) subpopulations within metastatic head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (mHNcSCC) expressing components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which promotes ...
