Large Pore Mesoporous Silica and Organosilica Nanoparticles for Pepstatin A Delivery in Breast Cancer Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

(1) Background: Nanomedicine has recently emerged as a new area of research, particularly to fight cancer. In this field, we were interested in the vectorization of pepstatin A, a peptide which does not cross cell membranes, but which is a potent inhibitor of cathepsin D, an aspartic protease

Western blotting and enzymatic activity analysis of cathepsin D in breast tissue and sera of patients with breast cancer and benign breast disease and of normal controls.

Increased total antigen amounts of cathepsin D in breast tissue have been reported to be associated with increased disease recurrence, more frequent metastasis, and increased mortality in breast cancer patients. In the present study, Western blotting analysis has been used for the first time to

Elevated levels of pro-cathepsin-d in the plasma of breast-cancer patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Changes in the expression and processing of cathepsin D (CD) have been shown to be associated with cancer invasion and metastasis. However, the value of CD as a prognostic marker remains controversial. Most studies have used immunological methods to measure the mature form of CD, although it is the

Cathepsin D stimulates the activities of secreted plasminogen activators in the breast cancer acidic environment.

Two proteases cathepsin D (cath D) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) are tissue markers associated with an increased risk of metastasis in breast cancer. We investigated whether cath D, the major aspartyl protease overexpressed by breast cancer cells can trigger a proteolytic cascade via

Analysis of breast-tissue cathepsin-d isoforms from patients with breast-cancer, benign breast disease and from normal controls.

Only registered users can translate articles

The isoform composition of cathepsin D has been investigated by isoelectric focusing of breast tissue supernatant fluids from patients with breast cancer, benign breast disease and from normal controls. The results indicated the presence of several acid protease isoforms between pi values of 2 to 8.

A novel cell penetrating aspartic protease inhibitor blocks processing and presentation of tetanus toxoid more efficiently than pepstatin A.

Only registered users can translate articles

Selective inhibition of enzymes involved in antigen processing such as cathepsin E and cathepsin D is a valuable tool for investigating the roles of these enzymes in the processing pathway. However, the aspartic protease inhibitors, including the highly potent pepstatin A (PepA), are inefficiently

Proteinase inhibitors reduce basement membrane degradation by human breast cancer cell lines.

Only registered users can translate articles

The relative importance of different proteinases, and their inhibition, in the breakdown of human endothelial basement membrane (BM) by MDA-MB-231 and MCF7ADR human breast cancer cell lines has been studied using 35S-labelled BM-coated 96-well culture plates. Basement membrane degradation (BMD) was

A lysosomal pepstatin-insensitive proteinase as a novel biomarker for breast carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lysosomal proteinases play an important role in the turnover of intracellular proteins, and acidic proteinases such as cathepsin D are known to be increased in breast carcinoma. In the present study the activity of a newly discovered acidic lysosomal pepstatin-insensitive proteinase (CLN2p) was

Cathepsin D in breast secretions from women with breast cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

A proteinase accumulated in breast secretions from women with breast cancer has been characterised. Inhibition of the proteolytic activity of breast secretions by pepstatin A showed that the main enzyme involved was an aspartyl proteinase. Determination of its cleavage specificity by SDS-PAGE and

Heterologous expression and characterization of the aspartic endoprotease Pep4um from Ustilago maydis, a homolog of the human Chatepsin D, an important breast cancer therapeutic target.

Only registered users can translate articles

The pep4um gene (um04926) of Ustilago maydis encodes a protein related to either vacuolar or lysosomal aspartic proteases. Bioinformatic analysis of the Pep4um protein revealed that it is a soluble protein with a signal peptide suggesting that it likely passes through the secretory pathway, and it

A novel aspartyl proteinase from apocrine epithelia and breast tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

GCDFP-15 (gross cystic disease fluid protein, 15 kDa) is a secretory marker of apocrine differentiation in breast carcinoma. In human breast cancer cell lines, gene expression is regulated by hormones, including androgens and prolactin. The protein is also known under different names in different

In vitro degradation of extracellular matrix with Mr 52,000 cathepsin D secreted by breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

It has been proposed that proteases secreted by cancer cells facilitate metastasis by degrading extracellular matrix. Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells secrete a Mr 52,000 pro-cath-D under estrogen stimulation, whereas this protease is produced constitutively by estrogen

The role of cathepsin D in the invasiveness of human breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aspartyl protease cathepsin D has been shown to be a marker of poor prognosis when found at high levels in primary breast tumors. It has been suggested that this is because the production of cathepsin D increases the invasive potential of the tumor cells, thus increasing the probability of

Effects of cathepsin D inhibitor from Vicia sativa L. seed hulls on human skin fibroblasts and breast cancer cells (in vitro studies).

Only registered users can translate articles

Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease which plays an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. There are known inhibitors of that enzyme, such as pepstatin and potato inhibitor. In this study, we examined effects of the cathepsin D inhibitor from Vicia sativa L. seed hulls on cell cultures of

Hybrid 2D/3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship and modeling studies perspectives of pepstatin A analogs as cathepsin D inhibitors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cathepsin D, one of the attractive targets in the treatment of breast cancer, has been implicated in HIV neuropathogenesis with potential proteolytic effects on chemokines. Methodology/result: Diverse modeling tools were used to reveal the key structural features affecting the inhibitory activities
