Disease relevance of Cyss

 

High impact information on Cyss

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Cyss

  • Agar diffusion analysis demonstrated that rat cystatin S, a cysteine proteinase inhibitor, inhibited the growth of all tested strains of a human oral, Gram-negative anaerobic periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis [1].

Anatomical context of Cyss

 

Associations of Cyss with chemical compounds

  • Capsaicin induces cystatin S-like substances in submandibular saliva of the rat [9].
  • The gene encoding rat cystatin S (Cys S), a salivary gland-specific secretory protein, has CAAT and TATA boxes upstream of the inititation codon (Cox and Shaw, 1992), and contains regions that resemble those of other hormonally responsive eukaryotic genes [11].
  • The purpose of this study was to assess whether rat cystatin S, a cysteine proteinase inhibitor, is present in rat sebaceous glands, and to measure the effects of methotrexate on the expression of cystatin in these glands [12].
  • Administration of one of the pituitary-dependent hormones testosterone, estradiol, dexamethasone and thyroxine, together with isoproterenol resulted in marked enhancement of the isoproterenol-induced cystatin S mRNA expression in hypophysectomized rats, whereas administration of any of these hormones alone had no significant effect [13].
