Cystatins as regulators of cancer
Medical Research Archives, 2017 AbstractThe cystatins, natural inhibitors of cysteine proteases, act as metastasis suppressors for a wide variety of different cancers. An update of the various actions of cystatins in cancer is the focus of the current review. In the progression of cancer cells, besides certain genetic changes, augmentation of invasion occurs with an increase in ...

Epigenetic regulation of cystatins in cancer
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 Cystatins function as cysteine protease inhibitors, are expressed in numerous cell types, and regulate a number of physiological processes. Four cystatins have been extensively studied: cystatin A, cystatin B, cystatin C, and cystatin M. Aberrant regulation of cystatins occurs in a number of diseases, including cancer and certain neurodegenerative ...

Biochemical Society Symposia, 2003
Chicken egg white cystatin was first described in the late 1960s. Since then, our knowledge about a superfamily of similar proteins present in mammals, birds, fish, insects, plants and some protozoa has expanded, and their properties as potent peptidase inhibitors have been firmly established.

Plant cystatins have been the object of intense research since the publication of a first paper reporting their existence more than 20 years ago. These ubiquitous inhibitors of Cys proteases play several important roles in plants, from the control of various physiological and cellular processes in planta to the inhibition of exogenous Cys proteases ...

The Journal of Biochemistry, 1991
Our recent work on the gene structures for human salivary (S-type) cystatins [Saitoh, E. et al. (1987) Gene 61, 329-338] has suggested that the structures of cystatins which we determined previously at the protein level lack N-terminal peptide portions of the full-sized intact forms. In the present study, attempts were made to isolate full-sized S-type

Immunomodulatory properties of cystatins
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2002Cystatins are natural tight-binding reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Because these cysteine proteases exist in all living organisms and because they are involved in various biological and pathological processes, the control of these protease functions by cystatins is of cardinal importance.

Recombinant cystatins in plants
Biochimie, 2019Dozens of studies have assessed the practical value of plant cystatins as ectopic inhibitors of Cys proteases in biological systems. The potential of these proteins in crop protection to control herbivorous pests and pathogens has been documented extensively over the past 25 years.

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2002
Clinical biochemists have long known the analytical and clinical limitations of creatinine and creatinine clearance measurement in the assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This background is reviewed in the article before assessing the utility of cystatin C, the most promising replacement biochemical marker yet identified.
