PLoS ONE, 2015 Cathepsins are proteases involved in the ability of parasites to overcome and/or modulate host defenses so as to complete their own lifecycle. However, the mechanisms underlying this ability of cathepsins are still poorly understood.

IGF-I receptor phosphorylation is impaired in cathepsin X-deficient prostate cancer cells [PDF]
, 2012 The cysteine-type peptidase cathepsin X is highly upregulated in several cancers and presumably promotes tumor invasion through bypassing cellular senescence. Here, we present first evidence that the underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of the

Expression of the elastolytic cathepsins S and K in human atheroma and regulation of their production in smooth muscle cells [PDF]
, 2014 Formation of the atherosclerotic intima must involve altered metabolism of the elastin-rich arterial extracellular matrix. Proteases potentially involved in these processes remain unclear.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

The role of lysosomal cysteine proteases in tumor progression
Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2009 Cysteine cathepsins have been known for a long time to play an important role in cancer progression. Here we summarize their impact to the hallmark processes of malignant growth such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

Determination of a predictive cleavage motif for eluted major histocompatibility complex class II ligands [PDF]
, 2018 CD4+ T cells have a major role in regulating immune responses. They are activated by recognition of peptides mostly generated from exogenous antigens through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II pathway.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Lysosome‐targeted acidic nanoparticles based on a biodegradable poly(ethylene tetrafluorosuccinate‐co‐succinate) copolymer are engineered to restore impaired lysosomal acidification through pH‐responsive intracellular degradation. Localized acid release enhances autophagic proteolysis, reduces α‐synuclein accumulation, and preserves dopaminergic neuron

The Role of Cathepsins in Memory Functions and the Pathophysiology of Psychiatric Disorders
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020 Cathepsins are proteases with functions in cellular homeostasis, lysosomal degradation and autophagy. Their role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases has been extensively studied.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2008 A literature survey was performed of human cathepsin D gene, cathepsin D biosynthesis, posttranslatory modifications, transport within the cell, substrate specificity and catalytic effect. Methods used to determine the activity and level of this proteinase as well as its role in the biochemistry and pathobiochemistry of cells, tissues and organs were ...
