Cysteine Cathepsins in Human Carious Dentin [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important in dentinal caries, and analysis of recent data demonstrates the presence of other collagen-degrading enzymes, cysteine cathepsins, in human dentin.

Cysteine Cathepsins Inhibition Affects Their Expression and Human Renal Cancer Cell Phenotype [PDF]
Renal cancer would greatly benefit from new therapeutic strategies since, in advanced stages, it is refractory to classical chemotherapeutic approaches. In this context, lysosomal protease cysteine cathepsins may represent new pharmacological targets. In

In silico analysis of cysteine cathepsins identified from the transcriptome profile of blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) [PDF]
Cysteine cathepsins are described as lysosomal proteases with housekeeping and highly specialised functions in many organisms. In this study, cysteine cathepsins were identified from the transcriptome profile of blunt snout bream (Megalobrama ...

Human cysteine cathepsins are not reliable markers of infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
Cysteine cathepsins have emerged as new players in inflammatory lung disorders. Their activities are dramatically increased in the sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, suggesting that they are involved in the pathophysiology of CF.

Cysteine Cathepsins in Human Dentin-Pulp Complex
Introduction: Collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are expressed by odontoblasts and present in dentin. We hypothesized that odontoblasts express other collagen-degrading enzymes such as cysteine cathepsins, and their activity would be ...

Inflammatory Regulation of Cysteine Cathepsins [PDF]
Cysteine cathepsins B, L and S are endosomal/lysosomal proteases that participate in numerous physiological systems. Cathepsin expression and activity are altered during various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis ...

Acid-Mediated Tumor Proteolysis: Contribution of Cysteine Cathepsins [PDF]
One of the noncellular microenvironmental factors that contribute to malignancy of solid tumors is acidic peritumoral pH. We have previously demonstrated that extracellular acidosis leads to localization of the cysteine pro-tease cathepsin B on the tumor

Cysteine Cathepsins in Breast Cancer: Promising Targets for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery. [PDF]
The majority of breast cancer patients is treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) combined with adjuvant radiation therapy. Up to 40% of patients has a tumor-positive resection margin after BCS, which necessitates re-resection or additional boost ...
