Modulation of substance P signaling by dipeptidyl peptidase-IV enzymatic activity in human glioma cell lines.
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV, CD26) is a serine protease almost ubiquitously expressed on cell surface and present in body fluids. DPP-IV has been suggested to proteolytically modify a number of biologically active peptides including substance P (SP) and the chemokine stromal cell derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha, CXCL12). SP and SDF-1alpha have been implicated in the regulation of multiple...
متن کاملPorcine spleen cathepsin H hydrolyzes oligopeptides solely by aminopeptidase activity.
Cathepsin H purified from porcine spleens was studied for its specificity against various peptide and denatured protein substrates. The enzyme degraded all peptide substrates exclusively by an aminopeptidase activity. The enzyme preferentially released NH2-terminal amino acid residues with large hydrophobic (Phe, Trp, Leu, and Tyr) or basic (Arg and Lys) side chains. Amino acids containing smal...
متن کاملOrgan distribution of aminopeptidase A and dipeptidyl peptidase IV in normal mice.
The hydrolases aminopeptidase A and dipeptidyl peptidase IV, both present in the kidney on the brush borders of the proximal tubule epithelial cells and podocytes, are involved in the induction of experimental membranous glomerulonephritis in the mouse. However, little is known about their (co)distribution in other tissues and their function in health and disease. A detailed insight into the lo...
متن کاملHistochemistry of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP) II and IV in reactive lymphoid tissues and malignant lymphoma.
A modified histochemical method was used to show the presence of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP) II and IV in fixed, freeze dried, cryostat sections of tonsils, lymph nodes, and skin. In 14 reactive tonsils and lymph nodes both enzyme reactions were largely confined to T dependent areas where scattered positive lymphocytes were shown in the paracortical zones, while lymphocytes of germinal cent...
متن کاملComparative cytochemical study of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP) II and IV in normal and malignant haemic cells.
Modified cytochemical methods were used to show dipeptidyl aminopeptidases (DAP) II and IV in peripheral blood buffy coat preparations and bone marrow smears. In 23 normal buffy coats both enzymes were confined to lymphocytes. DAP II was found in T and B lymphocytes (about 80%) while DAP IV was restricted to T lymphocytes only (around 46%). In 11 normal bone marrows DAP II was found in 53% of t...
