Secreted cystatins decrease proliferation and enhance apoptosis of human leukemic cells
FEBS Open Bio, 2020 Cysteine proteases are implicated in proteolysis events favoring cancer cell growth, spread, and death by apoptosis. Herein, we have studied whether the net growth and survival of the leukemic cell lines Jurkat, U937, and HL‐60 are affected by external ...

Cystatin C in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 Changes in expression and secretion levels of cystatin C (CysC) in the brain in various neurological disorders and in animal models of neurodegeneration underscore a role for CysC in these conditions. A polymorphism in the CysC gene (CST3) is linked to increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 Cystatins are natural cysteine protease inhibitors which belong to a superfamily of proteins with wide occurrence in tissues. The cystatins have been shown to play multiple roles in normal and disease processes. In many different cancers the cathepsins, enzymes inhibited by cystatins, are elevated and participate in tumor growth and invasion.

Cystatin 11: A New Member of the Cystatin Type 2 Family [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2002 Cystatin (CST)11, a novel member of the CST type 2 family of cysteine protease inhibitors, was identified in Macaca mulatta epididymis by subtractive hybridization cloning. The human CST11 gene on chromosome 20p11.2 is located near three other CST genes expressed predominantly in the male reproductive tract.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.
