High impact information on CTSS

  • These parameters are important for understanding the role of cathepsin S in different species and for testing inhibitors in animal models of autoimmunity [1].
  • CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings suggest that MMP-2, -9, cathepsin S, and TRAP may be important mediators of progressive joint destruction in dogs with CCL rupture [2].
  • Similar to MMP-9, expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin S was only found in stifle tissues from dogs with ruptured CCL; in contrast, expression of cathepsin K was found in all ruptured and intact CCL [2].
 

Biological context of CTSS

  • CONCLUSION: Rupture of the CCL is associated with up-regulation of expression of MMP-2 and -9 (gelatinase A and B), TRAP, and cathepsin S, and increased degradation of collagen [2].
