Cathepsins in Neurological Diseases. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Cathepsins, a family of lysosomal proteases, play critical roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis through protein degradation and modulation of immune responses. In the central nervous system (CNS), their functions extend beyond classical proteolysis, influencing neuroinflammation, synaptic remodeling, and neurodegeneration.

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

The Specificity of Cathepsin D

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1973
Abstract Bovine spleen cathepsin D has been partially purified for studies of its specificity. Isoelectric focusing of the purest preparation obtained indicated the presence of three molecular forms having approximately the same specific activity, but differing in their isoelectric points.

Comparative Analysis of Click Chemistry Mediated Activity-Based Protein Profiling in Cell Lysates

Molecules, 2013
Activity-based protein profiling uses chemical probes that covalently attach to active enzyme targets. Probes with conventional tags have disadvantages, such as limited cell permeability or steric hindrance around the reactive group.

Anifrolumab Treatment Leads to Rapid Reduction in Urinary Biomarkers of Intrarenal Inflammation in Lupus Nephritis: Results From the Phase 2 Randomized Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is partially driven by type I interferon signaling. Anifrolumab, an approved treatment for patients with SLE, has been investigated in a phase 2 trial in patients with LN receiving standard therapy (TULIP‐LN, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier ...

Human cathepsin D.

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 ...

Multi‐Omic Profiling Reveals Immune Cell Priming Signature Linked to Lupus Prognosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorgan disease with widespread immune dysregulation and significant unmet clinical need. Blood‐based gene expression studies have advanced our understanding of SLE pathogenesis but may overlook critical tissue‐specific mechanisms that drive disease heterogeneity and progression.
