additional information
-
resistance to degradation and stabilization of beta1-6GlcNAc matripase are specifically due to the presence of beta1-6GlcNAc branching on the sugar chains, binds strongly to leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin, which preferentially recognizes beta1-6 GlcNAc branches of tri- or tetraantennary sugar chains, beta1-6 GlcNAc matriptase is resistant to autodegradation, as well as trypsin digestion, compared with matriptase purified from mock-transfected cells, N-glycosidase-F treatment of beta1-6 GlcNAc matriptase greatly reduces its resistance to degradation
diagnostics
-
the enzyme is a useful marker for mast cells
diagnostics
-
the enzyme might be a good biomarker in treatment of malignant breast tumors
drug development
-
the enzyme is a potential target in anti-cancer therapy
drug development
matriptase-2 represents a target for the development of inhibitors, potentially useful in the treatment of hemochromatosis or beneficial as pharmacological tools
medicine
-
expression of serine protease SNC19/matripase and hepatocyte growth factor is decreased in gastrointestinal cancer tissues compared to their normal counterparts, decreased expression may correlate with invasion and lymph node metastasis
medicine
-
matripase mediates cell invasion through activation of receptor-bound pro-urokinase-type plasminogen activator
medicine
-
multiple roles for hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-1 to regulate matripase, including its proper expression, intracellular trafficking, activation and inhibition
medicine
-
possibly controlls epithelial-cell turnover by regulating cell-cell and/or cell-substratum adhesions
medicine
-
prolonged stabilization of matripase is stabilized by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: alpha-mannoside beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosminyltransferase-mediated glycosylation in vivo, thus extending its halftime and permitting it to play role in the early phases of papillary carcinoma, but not in its later progression
medicine
-
inhibition of matriptase appears to suppress both primar tumor growth and metastasis, leading to considerable interest in the development of potent matriptase inhibitors as anti-cancer drugs

matriptase is identified as a cancer-associated protease

matriptase-2 plays a putative role as a tumor suppressor enzyme in human breast cancer

upregulation of matriptase-2 reduces the aggressiveness of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo
medicine
-
time-domain near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is applied to characterize expression and activity of matriptase in vivo in an orthotopic AsPC-1 pancreatic tumor model in nude mice. Strong expression and tumor-specific binding of intravenously injected antimatriptase antibody only to primary AsPC-1 tumors and their metastases is shown. Using a synthetic substrate it is shown that matriptase is proteolytically active in vitro as well as in vivo in tumor-bearing mice, and that application of synthetic active-site inhibitors can efficiently inhibit its proteolytic activity for at least 24 h
medicine
-
coexpression of matriptase with amyloid precursor protein APP695 results in site-specific cleavagesof amyloid precursor protein. Replacement of Arg-601 (Arg-5 in Abeta1-42) by Ala in APP695 prevents matriptase cleavage at this site. Overexpression of matriptase in M17 cells results in a significant reduction of the endogenous amyloid precursor protein quantity
medicine
-
in breast cancer cells, a significant amount of the 30-40-kDa serine protease inhibitor HAI-2 can translocate to and inhibit matriptase on the cell surface, followed by shedding of the matriptase-HAI-2 complex
medicine
-
loss of cell surface protease inhibitor HAI-2 in intestinal epithelial cells leads to unrestrained matriptase activity and efficient cleavage of epithelial cell adhesion molecule EPCAM. Congenital tufting enteropathy-associated HAI-2 mutant proteins exhibit reduced ability to inhibit matriptase and also fail to efficiently stabilize claudin-7 in intestinal epithelial cells
medicine
-
mRNA and protein expression of both matriptase and prostasin are rapidly down-regulated in the initiating inflammatory phases of dextran sulfate sodium-induced experimental colitis, and the loss of these proteases precedes the appearance of clinical symptoms. Barrier disruption by the colitis-associated Th2-type cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, down-regulates matriptase as well as prostasin through phosphorylation of the transcriptional regulator STAT6
