The role of lysosomal cysteine proteases in tumor progression
Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2009 Cysteine cathepsins have been known for a long time to play an important role in cancer progression. Here we summarize their impact to the hallmark processes of malignant growth such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

Protease inhibitors targeting coronavirus and filovirus entry. [PDF]
, 2015 In order to gain entry into cells, diverse viruses, including Ebola virus, SARS-coronavirus and the emerging MERS-coronavirus, depend on activation of their envelope glycoproteins by host cell proteases.

Multiple Roles for Cysteine Cathepsins in Cancer [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2004 Cysteine cathepsins are a family of proteases that have recently emerged as important players in cancer, and have variously been reported to be involved in apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and invasion. In normal cells, cysteine cathepsins are typically localized in lysosomes and other intracellular compartments, and are involved in protein

Cytokines regulate cysteine cathepsins during TLR responses [PDF]
Cellular Immunology, 2011 TLR activation is an important component of innate immunity but also contributes to the severity of inflammatory diseases. Cysteine cathepsins (Cat) B, L and S, which are endosomal and lysosomal proteases, participate in numerous physiological systems and are upregulated during various inflammatory disorders and cancers.

The ectodomain of Toll-like receptor 9 is cleaved to generate a functional receptor. [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8 and 9 initiate immune responses to infection by recognizing microbial nucleic acids; however, these responses come at the cost of potential autoimmunity owing to inappropriate recognition of self nucleic acids.

Non-invasive imaging of cysteine cathepsin activity in solid tumors using a 64Cu-labeled activity-based probe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The papain family of cysteine cathepsins are actively involved in multiple stages of tumorigenesis. Because elevated cathepsin activity can be found in many types of human cancers, they are promising biomarkers that can be used to target radiological ...

Diminished Intracellular Invariant Chain Expression Following Vaccinia Virus Infection [PDF]
, 2009 Vaccinia virus (VV) has been used as a vaccine to eradicate smallpox and as a vaccine for HIV and tumors. However, the immunoevasive properties of VV, have raised safety concerns.
