In mice, in which the ctsl gene was deleted, experimental pancreatitis was significantly less severe and involved a dramatic shift to cell injury via apoptosis. Surprisingly, and in complete contrast to CTSB, CTSL was found to very effectively inactivate trypsinogen and trypsin in vivo, in isolated acini, and in vitro.

This event coincides with the reduction of Reelin expression, a glycoprotein that regulates neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum.

  • Cysteine Cathepsin Proteases: Regulators of Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Response
    REVIEWS Cysteine cathepsin proteases: regulators of cancer progression and therapeutic response Oakley C. Olson1,2 and Johanna A. Joyce1,3,4 Abstract | Cysteine cathepsin protease activity is frequently dysregulated in the context of neoplastic transformation. Increased activity and aberrant localization of proteases within the tumour microenvironment have a potent role in driving cancer progression, proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Recent studies have also uncovered functions for cathepsins in the suppression of the response to therapeutic intervention in various malignancies. However, cathepsins can be either tumour promoting or tumour suppressive depending on the context, which emphasizes the importance of rigorous in vivo analyses to ascertain function. Here, we review the basic research and clinical findings that underlie the roles of cathepsins in cancer, and provide a roadmap for the rational integration of cathepsin-targeting agents into clinical treatment.

  • The Significance of Cathepsins, Thrombin and Aminopeptidase in Diffuse Interstitial Lung Diseases
    93 ORIGINAL The significance of cathepsins, thrombin and aminopeptidase in diffuse interstitial lung diseases Makoto Kimura, Kenji Tani, Junya Miyata, Keiko Sato, Akihito Hayashi, Shinsaku Otsuka, Tomoyuki Urata, and Saburo Sone Department of Internal Medicine and Molecular Therapeutics, Institute of Health Biosciences, The University of Tokushima Graduate School, Tokushima, Japan Abstract : To determine the significance of proteases in interstitial lung diseases, we exam- ined the activity of cathepsins, thrombin, and aminopeptidase in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from patients with these disorders. Significantly increased activities of cathepsin H and aminopeptidase were detected in BAL fluid from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Significantly higher activity of cathepsin B was found in BAL fluid from patients with CEP. The activity of thrombin was significantly higher in patients with IPF and CEP. In patients with IPF, there were significant correlations between neutrophil number and the activity of cathepsin B, cathepsin H or aminopeptidase. In patients with COP and HP, the activity of the proteases was significantly higher in patients with higher number of lymphocytes than in those with lower number of lymphocytes. The present study suggests that the activity of the proteases is a useful marker in activity of the interstitial lung diseases, and may have a role in the pathogenesis of these disorders.
