CTSZ Cancer Research Results

CTSZ, Cathepsin Z: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
CTSZ is best understood as a microglia-enriched, immune–lysosomal gene that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease through neuroinflammatory signaling and lysosomal function, rather than direct amyloid or tau cleavage. Its upregulation reflects—and may amplify—the maladaptive microglial response characteristic of AD.

5124- Sal,    Inhibition of the autophagic flux by salinomycin in breast cancer stem-like/progenitor cells interferes with their maintenance
- in-vitro, BC, NA
CSCs↓, Salinomycin (Sal), a K+/H+ ionophore, has recently been shown to be at least 100 times more effective than paclitaxel in reducing the proportion of breast CSCs
LC3II↑, Sal-induced accumulation of LC3-II
other↓, Sal inhibits autophagy flux
lysosome↓, Sal treatment inhibits lysosomal activity
CTSZ↓, The combined activity of cathepsins Z, B, L, and S was significantly lower in Sal–treated cells, as were the specific activities of CTSB and CTSL, indicating that Sal significantly inhibits the activity of cathepsins
CTSB↓,
CTSL↓,
CTSS↓,
autoF↓, Inhibition of the autophagic flux by salinomycin
TumAuto↓, In this study, we reported the inhibitory effect of Sal on autophagy and its consequence on the crosstalk with the apoptosis pathway.

4861- Uro,    Urolithin A improves Alzheimer's disease cognition and restores mitophagy and lysosomal functions
- in-vivo, AD, NA
*memory↑, Long‐term UA treatment significantly improved learning, memory, and olfactory function in different AD transgenic mice.
*Aβ↓, UA also reduced amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau pathologies and enhanced long‐term potentiation
*toxicity↓, A phase I clinical study confirmed that UA was safe in healthy, sedentary older adults, and that activation of mitochondrial biomarkers in muscle and plasma was observed
*BBB↑, may play a therapeutic role in the brain as it crosses the blood–brain barrier.
*p‑tau↓, UA decreased Aβ accumulation and tau phosphorylation in AD mice
*eff↓, and that the effects disappeared if UA treatment was suspended for 1 month.
*IL1α↓, several proinflammatory cytokines were increased in AD mice and decreased after UA treatment, including Interleukin 1 alpha (IL‐1α), monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1)
*MCP1↓,
*MIP‑1α↓, macrophage inflammatory protein‐1 alpha (MIP‐1α), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), Interleukin 2 (IL‐2)
*TNF-α↓,
*IL2↓,
*SIRT1↓, UA induced sirtuin expression, mitophagy, and decreased DNA damage
*DNAdam↓,
*Dose↝, UA at doses from 250 to 2000 mg in humans 25 and 1–450 mg/kg in mice 80 has been reported to be safe.
*Strength↑, UA increased muscle strength and physical performance in a 6‐min walk test in elderly humans after 4 months of supplementation.
*motorD↑, Other studies reported that UA improved motor activity in the rotarod test and increased total distance traveled and average speed in the open field test in young C57BL/6J mice 82 and 3xTg AD mice
*CTSZ↓, Ctsz was highly expressed in multiple AD transgenic mouse models, and its expression was normalized by UA treatment
