Disease relevance of ADAMTS8

 

High impact information on ADAMTS8

 

Biological context of ADAMTS8

 

Anatomical context of ADAMTS8

 

Associations of ADAMTS8 with chemical compounds

  • Meth 8 tumor cells were easily lysed in vitro by rIL-2-activated killer (AK) cells, which mainly consisted of Thy1.2+, Lyt2.2+, L3T4- T cells, and asialo GM1+ natural killer (NK) cells; on the other hand, X5563 tumor cells were only slightly lysed in vitro by AK cells under the same conditions [8].
 

Enzymatic interactions of ADAMTS8

  • A neoepitope monoclonal antibody (MAb; AGG-C1; anti-NITEGE373) was developed and used to demonstrate the ability of ADAMTS-8 to cleave aggrecan at the aggrecanase-susceptible Glu373-Ala374 peptide bond [6].
 

Other interactions of ADAMTS8

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ADAMTS8

  • This observation has been validated in an independent series of NSCLCs and adjacent normal tissues by comparative multiplex RT-PCR, and METH-2 mRNA expression was dramatically reduced in all 23 tumour samples analysed [3].
  • Immunohistochemistry and Western analysis indicated downregulation of ADAMTS-8 protein in >77% tumours [7].
