The affinity and kinetics of inhibition of cysteine proteinases by intact recombinant bovine cystatin C. (1/90)

Recent studies have shown that the bovine cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin C, is synthesized as a preprotein containing a 118-residue mature protein. However, the forms of the inhibitor isolated previously from bovine tissues had shorter N-terminal regions than expected from these results, and also lower affinity for proteinases than human cystatin C. In this work, we report the properties of recombinant, full-length bovine cystatin C having a complete N-terminal region. The general characteristics of this form of the inhibitor, as reflected by the isoelectric point, the far-ultraviolet circular dichroism spectrum, the thermal stability and the changes of tryptophan fluorescence on interaction with papain, resembled those of human cystatin C. The affinity and kinetics of inhibition of papain and cathepsins B, H and L by the bovine inhibitor were also comparable with those of the human inhibitor, although certain differences were apparent. Notably, the affinity of bovine cystatin C for cathepsin H was somewhat weaker than that of human cystatin C, and bovine cystatin C bound to cathepsin L with about a four-fold higher association rate constant than the human inhibitor. This rate constant is comparable with the highest values reported previously for cystatin-cysteine proteinase reactions. The full-length, recombinant bovine cystatin C bound appreciably more tightly to proteinases than the shorter form characterized previously. Digestion of the recombinant inhibitor with neutrophil elastase resulted in forms with truncated N-terminal regions and appreciably decreased affinity for papain, consistent with the forms of bovine cystatin C isolated previously having arisen by proteolytic cleavage of a mature, full-length inhibitor.

Cysteine proteinase cathepsin H in tumours and sera of lung cancer patients: relation to prognosis and cigarette smoking. (2/90)

In order to evaluate the role of cysteine peptidase cathepsin H (Cath H) in human lung cancer its protein levels were determined in 148 pairs of lung tumour tissue and adjacent non-tumourous lung parenchyma using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Additionally, Cath H levels were determined in sera of 171 patients with malignant tumours, 34 patients with benign lung diseases and 47 healthy controls. The median level of Cath H in tumour tissue was 0.64 times that in the corresponding lung parenchyma. Relating tumour levels with histological type we found higher Cath H levels in small-cell and adenocarcinomas and lower levels in squamous cell carcinoma, large-cell carcinoma and secondary tumours. A significant difference in Cath H level between lung tumour tissue and non-tumourous lung parenchyma was associated with the group of cigarette smokers (156 vs 263 ng mg(-1) protein, P < 0.001). For this group of patients Cath H tumour levels correlated with the survival rate, while for the entire patient population this was not the case. Smokers with high tumour levels of Cath H experienced poor survival. Cath H was significantly higher in sera of patients with malignant and benign lung diseases than in control sera (P < 0.001). The increase was significant for all histological types, being the highest in small-cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Our study reveals that in lung tumours there is different behaviour of Cath H compared with other cysteine peptidases, e.g. cathepsin B and cathepsin L. Variations between tissue and serum levels of Cath H indicate either reduced expression or enhanced secretion of this enzyme in lung tumours. (+info)

Alterations in cathepsin H activity and protein patterns in human colorectal carcinomas. (3/90)

Our analyses of cathepsin H activity levels and protein forms in human colorectal cancers compared to matched control mucosa support the concept that altered proteinase expression patterns may reflect both cancer stage and site. Cathepsin H-specific activity was significantly increased in colorectal cancers compared to control mucosa (P = 0.003; n = 77). Highest specific activities and cancer/normal ratios (C/N) for activity were measured in Dukes' B and C stage carcinomas, cancers involved in local spread and invasion to lymph nodes. In contrast, cathepsin B and L activities analysed in the same paired extracts had been shown to be most frequently elevated in earlier stage carcinomas (Dukes' A and B), confirming that cathepsin H demonstrates a distinct pattern of expression during colorectal cancer progression. Although cathepsin H activities were most commonly elevated in Dukes' C cancers at all colon sites, both specific activity and C/N ratios were significantly higher for cancers of the left colon compared to other colon locations. A subset of 43 paired extracts analysed on Western blots also revealed consistent changes in cathepsin H protein forms in cancers. Normal mucosa typically showed a strong protein doublet at 31 and 29 kDa while cancers demonstrated decreased expression or total loss of the 31 kDa protein (90% of cases), equal or increased expression of the 29-kDa protein (67% of cases) and the new appearance or up-regulation of a cathepsin H band at 22 kDa (78% of cases). C/N ratios for cathepsin H enzyme activity correlated significantly with C/N ratios for the 29 kDa mature single-chain protein form (P < 0.001), with increased activity most commonly associated with elevated expression of 29-kDa cathepsin H but also with up-regulation of the 22-kDa band, suggesting a shift to more fully processed, mature active cathepsin H protein forms in cancers. Changes in cathepsin H expression were also detected by immunohistochemistry as elevated cathepsin H staining in tumour epithelial cells. (+info)

Differential expression patterns of cathepsins B, H, K, L and S in the mouse ovary. (4/90)

Cathepsins B, H, K, L and S belong to a family of lysosomal cysteine proteinases which participate in a variety of proteolytic processes, including degradation of extracellular matrix. Although the presence of cathepsin mRNAs in the ovary has been reported earlier, very little information is available on their temporospatial expression. In the present study, Northern analysis revealed cyclic changes in the mRNA levels for cathepsins B, H, K, L and S during the 4-day oestrous cycle in the mouse ovary. Immunohistochemical localization revealed distinct expression patterns suggesting different functions for the cathepsins studied. Cathepsin B was predominantly seen in the germinal epithelium throughout the oestrous cycle. Upon follicular maturation, an increasing number of granulosa cells became positive for all cathepsins. Strong cathepsin H staining was sharply defined in theca externa which also stained for cathepsins K and S. Corpus luteum was the predominant location of cathepsin L. The distribution of cathepsin S resembled that of cathepsin L. The developing oocyte stained positive for all cathepsins. In-situ hybridization confirmed the differential production of cathepsin mRNAs by granulosa, thecal and luteal cells. These complex temporal and spatial expression patterns at different stages of the oestrous cycle and follicular development suggest divergent functions for specific cathepsins in follicular development, growth and rupture.

Expression patterns of cathepsins B, H, K, L and S in the human endometrium. (5/90)

Cathepsins B, H, K, L and S belong to the family of lysosomal cysteine proteinases and participate in a variety of proteolytic processes, including degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the present study, we used Northern hybridization to demonstrate the presence of mRNAs for cathepsins B, H, K, L and S in human endometrium during both the proliferative and secretory phases of menstrual cycle. The mRNA levels for cathepsins H and K were significantly lower in secretory phase endometrium in comparison with proliferative phase endometrium. Immunohistochemical localization of the different cathepsins revealed widespread distribution of all cathepsins in both stroma and epithelial cells. The immunoreactivity for cathepsins B, H and K exhibited changes related to endometrial location and/or to the phase of the cycle. The strongest immunoreactivity for cathepsins B, H, L and S was observed in the surface epithelium of the endometrium. The staining for cathepsins was predominantly intracellular, but immunoreactivity was also detected on the surface of small lymphoid cells in the stroma. The findings of the present study suggest that cysteine cathepsins are needed for normal development and function of human endometrium during both the proliferative and secretory phases. (+info)

Analysis of a truncated form of cathepsin H in human prostate tumor cells. (6/90)

Increased expression of proteases has been correlated with the malignant progression of a variety of tumors. We found a significant increase in cathepsin H expression in high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma of the prostate. Two forms of cathepsin H, the full-length form (CTSH) and a truncated form with a 12-amino acid deletion in its signal peptide region (CTSHDelta10-21), were identified by cDNA sequence analysis. This deletion occurred not at the genomic level but likely at the RNA processing level. Both forms are expressed in prostate tissues as well as LNCaP, PC-3, and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines. The deletion within the signal peptide region affected the trafficking of cathepsin H. Fluorescence microscopy, subcellular fractionation, and activity data indicated that the truncated form was perinuclear and secreted and had a reduced lysosomal association as compared with the full-length cathepsin H. Furthermore, the truncated cathepsin H was enzymatically active. Therefore, an increase in overall cathepsin H expression, particularly in the truncated form with a high secretion propensity, may affect cell biological behaviors such as those associated with tumor progression.

Expression of cathepsins B, H, K, L, and S during human fetal lung development. (7/90)

Cathepsins are involved in lysosomal protein degradation, proenzyme activation, antigen processing, and hormone maturation. They are secreted by tumor cells and macrophages and catalyze the remodeling of extracellular matrix proteins. To gain insight into the expression pattern of cathepsins during fetal lung development, the expression of cathepsins B, H, K, L, and S at protein and mRNA levels were evaluated by using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Early expression of cathepsins B, H, and K was found in epithelial cells of the branching presumptive bronchi (<12th week of gestation). The most intense cathepsin K-specific immunoreactivity was found in developing airways with a lumen. Cathepsin K was found in epithelial cells only, whereas in contrast, cathepsins B and H were detected both in epithelial and interstitial cells. During fetal maturation, interstitial cells displayed cathepsin L immunoreactivity and, in the saccular phase (>26th week of gestation), both cathepsin L and S immunoreactivities. A continuous decline in the proportion of cathepsin H-positive interstitial CD68-positive cells was observed. These discrete temporal and spatial variations in cathepsin expression during organogenesis of the human lung indicate different physiological roles for the individual enzymes in different cell types and developmental stages.

Enzymatically modified LDL induces cathepsin H in human monocytes: potential relevance in early atherogenesis. (8/90)

OBJECTIVE: Modification with proteases and cholesterylesterase transforms LDL to a moiety that resembles lipoproteins isolated from atherosclerotic lesions and possesses atherogenic properties. To identify changes in monocyte-derived foam cells laden with enzymatically modified LDL (E-LDL), we compared patterns of the most abundant transcripts in these cells after incubation with LDL or E-LDL. METHODS AND RESULTS: Serial analyses of gene expression (SAGE) libraries were constructed from human monocytes after treatment with LDL or E-LDL. Several tags were differentially expressed in LDL-treated versus E-LDL-treated cells, whereby marked selective induction by E-LDL of cathepsin H was conspicuous. We show that cathepsin H is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions in colocalization with E-LDL. Furthermore, we demonstrate that LDL modified with cathepsin H and cholesterylesterase can confer onto LDL the capacity to induce macrophage foam cell formation and to induce cathepsin H. CONCLUSIONS: Cathepsin H could contribute to the transformation of LDL to an atherogenic moiety; the process might involve a self-sustaining amplifying circle. (+info)
