Physicochemical characterization of etch‐and‐rinse adhesive system doped with catechin‐loaded polymeric microparticles

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the incorporation of epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG)‐loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles into a two‐step etch‐and‐rinse adhesive and their effects on physicochemical properties and EGCG release. EGCG was added to Single Bond 2 either directly (0.01% and 0.1% w/w) or encapsulated in PLGA 50:50 or 75:25

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

The discovery of potent, selective, and reversible inhibitors of the house dust mite peptidase allergen Der p 1: an innovative approach to the treatment of allergic asthma. [PDF]

, 2014
Blocking the bioactivity of allergens is conceptually attractive as a small-molecule therapy for allergic diseases but has not been attempted previously.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Cysteine Proteinases and Their Inhibitors in Extracellular Fluids: Markers for Diagnosis and Prognosis in Cancer

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2000
Cathepsins B, H and L have been shown to participate in processes of tumor growth, vascularization, invasion and metastasis. Their levels in tumor tissue extracts can provide useful clinical information to predict disease-free and overall survival in ...

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

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Cathepsin K Deficiency Reduces Elastase Perfusion-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Mice [PDF]

, 2011
Objective: Cathepsin K (CatK) is one of the most potent mammalian elastases. We have previously shown increased expression of CatK in human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) lesions.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).
