Cysteine proteases as therapeutic targets: does selectivity matter? A systematic review of calpain and cathepsin inhibitors

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2015
Cysteine proteases continue to provide validated targets for treatment of human diseases. In neurodegenerative disorders, multiple cysteine proteases provide targets for enzyme inhibitors, notably caspases, calpains, and cathepsins.

Cystein-Cathepsine: Biochemie trifft Krebsmedizin

open access: yesBIOspektrum
AbstractCysteine-Cathepsins are potent lysosomal proteases with many functions in cell physiology. Their dysregulated activity is now a widely accepted hallmark for several diseases, including cancer. This review explores the cathepsin structure, biogenesis, activity regulation, and localization, alongside recent research focusing on cancer.

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

Cathepsin K deficiency in mice induces structural and metabolic changes in the central nervous system that are associated with learning and memory deficits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Cathepsin K is a cysteine peptidase known for its importance in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Inhibitors of cathepsin K are in clinical trials for treatment of osteoporosis.

Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factor APOE4 Exerts Dimorphic Effects on Female Bone

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In aging bone, osteocytes accumulate neurodegenerative risk factor Apolipoprotein E (APOE). A humanized version of the Alzheimer's disease risk allele APOE4 altered the mouse bone transcriptome and proteome, with effects in female bone surpassing the brain, including bone fragility due to suppressed osteocytic maintenance of bone quality, identifying ...

Design and Synthesis of Cysteine Proteases Inhibitors

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
Cysteine proteases belonging to the papain superfamily have been recognized as interesting therapeutic targets for the search for new drugs against infectious tropical diseases such as malaria (falcipain), Chagas’ disease (curtain), leishmaniasis, and ...

Discordance in cathepsin B and cystatin C expressions in bronchoalveolar fluids between murine bleomycin-induced fibrosis and human idiopathic fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceAbstractThe activity of cysteine cathepsin B increased markedly in lung homogenates and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) of the mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis after 14 days of challenge.

Cross‐Modal Denoising and Integration of Spatial Multi‐Omics Data with CANDIES

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this paper, we introduce CANDIES, which leverages a conditional diffusion model and contrastive learning to effectively denoise and integrate spatial multi‐omics data. We conduct extensive evaluations on diverse synthetic and real datasets, CANDIES shows superior performance on various downstream tasks, including denoising, spatial domain ...

Comparison of Expression of Cathepsins B and L and MMP2 in Endothelial Cells and in Capillary Sprouting in Collagen Gel

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 2004
The lysosomal cysteine proteinases cathepsins B and L are known to play an important role in the invasive growth of tumor cells, but their association with angiogenesis has been less well studied.

Deficiency for the cysteine protease cathepsin L impairs Myc-induced tumorigenesis in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Motivated by the recent implication of cysteine protease cathepsin L as a potential target for anti-cancer drug development, we used a conditional MycERTAM;Bcl-xL model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis (PNET) to assess the role of cathepsin L ...
