Osteoclastogenesis is decreased by cysteine proteinase inhibitors

open access: yesBone, 2004
The effects of cystatin C and other cysteine proteinase inhibitors on osteoclast formation and differentiation have been investigated. Cystatin C decreased osteoclast formation stimulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 or interleukin-6 (IL-6) (in the presence of its soluble receptor) as assessed by the number of tartrate-resistant ...

Cysteine proteinases and metastasis

CANCER AND METASTASIS REVIEW, 1984
Cysteine proteinases are a subclass of endopeptidases which require activation by thiol reagents. A tumor cysteine proteinase which appears to be related to lysosomal cathepsin B has been implicated in the ability of tumor cells to invade the extracellular matrix and to metastasize to secondary sites.

Cysteine proteinases in chondrosarcomas

Matrix Biology, 2001
The aim of the present study was to define the role of cathepsins B, H, K, L and S in the pathogenesis of human chondrosarcomas. For this purpose 40 tumour samples obtained from 12 patients with the diagnosis of conventional chondrosarcoma were systematically investigated for the expression of cathepsin mRNAs by Northern hybridisation, and for ...

Novel Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitors Homologous to the Proregions of Cysteine Proteinases

Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2002
Propeptides of papain-like cysteine proteinases such as papain, cathepsins B, L and S are potent inhibitors of their cognate cysteine proteinases with Ki values in the nanomolar range, and they exhibit highest inhibition selectivity for enzymes from which they originate. Recent studies have identified novel inhibitor proteins that are homologous to the
