组织蛋白酶(cathepsin,Cat)是半胱氨酸蛋白酶家族的主要成员,与皮肤肿瘤、慢性炎症等多种皮肤病密切相关.近年来多项研究表明Cat在人类皮肤生理方面的重要意义,主要集中于CatD/CatL/CatV维持表皮正常分化和完整屏障,CatB/CatD/CatG/CatK维持真皮细胞外基质(extracellular matrix,ECM)的稳态,CatV保证毛囊正常发育和生长周期.这些研究已深入细胞信号、基因调控,增进对正常皮肤生理调控的理解,未来也可能应用到疾病的基因治疗领域. 相似文献

We retrospectively studied the expression of cathepsin D by immunohistochemical analysis in 86 meningiomas (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I, n = 44; WHO grade II, n = 21; WHO grade III, n = 21) and correlated the results with tumor grade and outcome. Staining was scored semiquantitatively based on distribution among neoplastic cells as follows: 0, no staining; 1+, 5% or less of the cells; 2+, 6% to 20%; 3+, 21% to 50%; and 4+, more than 50% of the cells. Cathepsin D expression was observed as follows: 0, 10 cases (12%); 1+, 25 cases (29%); 2+, 15 cases (17%); 3+, 12 cases (14%); and 4+, 24 cases (28%). A higher degree of cathepsin D immunostaining was associated with low tumor grade (P = .0014), low mitotic count (P < .0001), low apoptotic count (P < .0001), and the development of recurrence (P = .035). There was no correlation with outcome or MIB-1 proliferation index. Cathepsin D expression by immunohistochemical analysis was identified in the majority (88% [76/86]) of meningiomas studied. A greater degree of immunoreactivity was observed in the WHO grade I group. 相似文献

Collagenase is secreted from neutrophils as a latent or proenzyme. In an effort to understand the mechanism of collagenase activation in inflammation, human peripheral neutrophils (PMNs) were isolated and incubated with the tumor promotor, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), which induces the neutrophils to degranulate and secrete proteinases. Neutrophil media were then treated with various activators or inhibitors of collagenase and other proteinases, and the collagenase activity was measured. A serine proteinase secreted from neutrophils, cathepsin G, was found to activate latent collagenase, but it was also found to require activation itself. Both hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were tested for their coilagenase-activating ability and were found to be successful only in the presence of active cathepsin G. A specific cathepsin G inhibitor (0.5 mM Z-Gly-Leu-Phe-CH2Cl) prevented the activation of latent collagenase by HOCl. To confirm these results, purified neutrophil cathepsin G was incubated with a neutrophil proteinase mixture which contained latent collagenase. The collagenase was shown to be activated upon incubation with purified cathepsin G. These results indicate that cathepsin G is a key mediator in neutrophil collagenase activation. 相似文献

Naegleria fowleri causes a lethal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in humans and experimental animals, which leads to death within 7–14 days. Cysteine proteases of parasites play key roles in nutrient uptake, excystment/encystment, host tissue invasion, and immune evasion. In this study, we cloned N. fowleri cathepsin B (nfcpb) and cathepsin B-like (nfcpb-L) genes from our cDNA library of N. fowleri. The full-length sequences of genes were 1,038 and 939 bp (encoded 345 and 313 amino acids), and molecular weights were 38.4 and 34 kDa, respectively. Also, nfcpb and nfcpb-L showed a 56 and 46 % identity to Naegleria gruberi cathepsin B and cathepsin B-like enzyme, respectively. Recombinant NfCPB (rNfCPB) and NfCPB-L (rNfCPB-L) proteins were expressed by the pEX5-NT/TOPO vector that was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21, and they showed 38.4 and 34 kDa bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot analysis using their respective antibodies. Proteolytic activity of refolded rNfCPB and rNfCPB-L was maximum at a pH of 4.5, and the most effective substrate was Z-LR-MCA. rNfCPB and rNfCPB-L showed proteolytic activity for several proteins such as IgA, IgG, IgM, collagen, fibronectin, hemoglobin, and albumin. These results suggested that NfCPB and NfCPB-L cysteine protease are important components of the N. fowleri ESP, and they may play important roles in host tissue invasion and immune evasion as pathogens that cause N. fowleri PAM. 相似文献

Antigonococcal activity of human neutrophil cathepsin G. 总被引:13,自引:7,他引:6
We have shown that lysosomal cathepsin G, prepared from acid extracts of granules derived from human polymorphonuclear granulocytes, exhibits potent in vitro antimicrobial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae. An isolated isozyme of cathepsin G was found to exhibit antigonococcal activity by a nonenzymatic mechanism in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, we observed that the antigonococcal activity of cathepsin G was relatively independent of pH and evident over a pH range resembling that invoked for maturing phagolysosomes. Using a number of isogenic strains, we determined that certain mutations known to alter cell envelope structure rendered gonococci more susceptible to cathepsin G. This suggests that the susceptibility of gonococci to cathepsin G, and possibly other antimicrobial proteins derived from PMN granules, is genetically determined and possibly related to the structure of the gonococcal cell envelope. 相似文献
