Expression of cysteine protease inhibitors in human gliomas and meningiomas.

Increased levels of human cysteine proteases have been implicated in the progression of tumors from the premalignant to the malignant state. The physiological activities of these proteases are regulated by their interactions with specific inhibitors. To our knowledge there have been no previous

Decrease in serine protease HtrA1 expression correlates with grade and recurrence in meningiomas.

OBJECTIVE HtrA1 is a serine protease which was shown to be down-regulated in a variety of human cancers. It is considered to be a tumor suppressor and suggested as a prognostic marker and a therapeutic candidate. In order to investigate any possible implication of HtrA1 in meningioma we studied 100

Toward understanding recurrent meningioma: the potential role of lysosomal cysteine proteases and their inhibitors.

OBJECTIVE The first aim of this study was to diagnose more aggressive and potentially recurrent meningiomas using an in vitro embryonic chick heart invasiveness assay in which lysosomal enzyme cathepsin B was used as the invasiveness marker. The second aim was to confirm if cathepsin B and/or

Activity of cysteine protease inhibitors in human brain tumors.

BACKGROUND Cysteine proteases (mainly cathepsins B and L) are thought to play an important role in the progress of cancer, including brain tumors. Together with other proteases, they hydrolyze the extracellular matrix and basement membrane proteins, thus enabling the tumor to grow and spread.

Calpain-dependent proteolysis of NF2 protein: involvement in schwannomas and meningiomas.

The neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) protein, known as merlin or schwannomin, is a tumor suppressor, and the NF2 gene has been found to be mutated in the majority of schwannomas and meningiomas, including both sporadically occurring and familial NF2 cases. Although the development of these tumors

Molecular alterations in the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene and its protein rarely occurring in meningothelial meningiomas.

OBJECTIVE The neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) gene is the only tumor suppressor gene that has been clearly implicated in the development of benign meningiomas. Interestingly, previous data obtained by the authors indicate that reduced NF2 protein expression seldom occurs in meningothelial

Oncogenic role of p53 is suppressed by si-RNA bicistronic construct of uPA, uPAR and cathepsin-B in meningiomas both in vitro and in vivo.

Meningiomas are the most commonly occurring intracranial tumors and account for approximately 15-20% of central nervous system tumors. Patients whose tumors recur after surgery and radiation therapy have limited therapeutic options. It has also been reported recently that radiation triggers DNA

The involvement of calpain-dependent proteolysis of the tumor suppressor NF2 (merlin) in schwannomas and meningiomas.

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) protein, also known as merlin or schwannomin, is a tumor suppressor, and NF2 is mutated in most schwannomas and meningiomas. Although these tumors are dependent on NF2, some lack detectable NF2 mutations, which indicates that alternative mechanisms exist for

uPA/uPAR downregulation inhibits radiation-induced migration, invasion and angiogenesis in IOMM-Lee meningioma cells and decreases tumor growth in vivo.

Meningioma is a well-known tumor of the central nervous system, and is treated by surgical resection and/or radiation. Recently, ionizing radiation has been shown to enhance invasiveness of surviving tumor cells, and several proteolytic enzyme molecules, including urokinase plasminogen activator

MMP-2, MMP-9, and uPA have been previously described as important to the invasive and metastatic potential of human tumors, including breast, lung, glioblastoma, and prostate. We examined the activity of these proteases and the levels of their inhibitors (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in a series of human

Clinicopathological variables, immunophenotype, chromosome 1p36 loss and tumour recurrence of 247 meningiomas grade I and II.

The WHO grading scheme distinguishes benign (grade I), atypical (grade II) and anaplastic (grade III) meningiomas. Both atypical and anaplastic meningiomas exhibited an overall increased rate of recurrence, but between 15-20% benign meningiomas will also exhibit an unfavourable clinical course with

RNAi-mediated abrogation of cathepsin B and MMP-9 gene expression in a malignant meningioma cell line leads to decreased tumor growth, invasion and angiogenesis.

Malignant meningiomas are highly aggressive and frequently recur after surgical resection of the tumor. Earlier studies have reported that the cysteine protease cathepsin B and the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 play important roles in tumor progression. In the present study, we made an attempt to

Tight association of loss of merlin expression with loss of heterozygosity at chromosome 22q in sporadic meningiomas.

Log In/Sign up
Mutations of NF2, the gene for neurofibromatosis 2, are detected in 20-30% of sporadic meningiomas, and almost all mutations lead to loss of merlin expression. However, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 22q is found at a much higher frequency, up to 50-70%, and the possibility of another

MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases), ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) and TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases) are implicated in invasion and angiogenesis: both are tissue remodeling processes involving regulated proteolysis of the extracellular matrix, growth factors and their

TMPRSS3 (Trans-membrane Serine Protease 3) is a type II trans-membrane serine protease that has proteolytic activity essential for hearing. Mutations in the gene cause non-syndromic autosomal recessive deafness (DFNB8/10) in humans. Knowledge about its cellular distribution in the human inner ear
