Role of Cysteine Endopeptidases in Cancerogenesis

Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, 1996
Role of cysteine endopeptidases in cancerogenesis steps: neoplastic transformation, invasion and metastasis is reviewed and discussed. Positive correlation between tumor invasiveness, as well as its metastatic potential and secretion of cysteine endopeptidase (particularly cathepsins B and L) has been documented well in literature.

Cysteine Endopeptidases and Their Inhibitors in Malignant Progression of Rat Embryo Fibroblasts

Biological Chemistry Hoppe-Seyler, 1992
Cathepsins B and L and their endogenous inhibitors were evaluated in rat embryo fibroblast lines which have been developed as a model system for the study of malignant progression and metastatic capability. Three groups of lines were analyzed: 1) immortalized/non-tumorigenic, 2) tumorigenic/metastatic lines transfected with c-Ha-ras, and 3) metastatic ...

Decrease in vivo of cysteine endopeptidases in blood of patients with tumor of the larynx

Anti-Cancer Drugs, 1993
Since cysteine endopeptidase (cathepsins B and L) have been proposed to be implicated in tumor malignancy, we have attempted to decrease these in vivo. Large amounts of urine cysteine peptidase inhibitors (UCPI) are present in the urine of patients.

[36] Cysteine endopeptidases of parasitic protozoa

Methods in Enzymology, 1994
Publisher Summary This chapter describes techniques that are generally applicable in studies of protozoan cysteine endopeptidases. Sample preparation varies from parasite to parasite, but in general cells are lysed in detergent-containing solutions, although repeated freezing and thawing can also be used to release cysteine endopeptidases.

Effects of mechanical wounding on Carica papaya cysteine endopeptidases accumulation and activity

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2006
The mechanical wounding impact on the Carica papaya latex protein pattern was investigated by analyzing three latexes. A first one commercially available, a second harvested from unripe but fully grown fruits, both obtained from regularly tapped fruits. A third one was collected from similar fruits but wounded for the first time.
