Purification of thiol protease inhibitor from human lung cancer tissue.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It was confirmed that the thiol protease inhibitory activities in human lung cancer extracts were significantly higher than normal lung tissue extracts. Furthermore the thiol protease inhibitor was extracted from human lung cancer tissue and purified by papain-Sepharose and Sephadex G-100 column chromatographies. The purified inhibitor inhibited papain and ficin, and its molecular weight determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was about 13, 000.

A thiol protease inhibitor released from cultured human malignant melanoma cells.
A thiol protease inhibitor (TPI) was found in culture media of human malignant melanoma cells (Bowes) at 1.5 to 2.3 units/day/flask (full sheet, 75 sq cm). This amount well exceeded that for cultured nonmalignant cells (human fetal lung fibroblasts). In the intracellular region of the melanoma cells, TPI activity was localized mainly in the cytosol fraction. The difference in specific activitie...

OBJECTIVE Alpha-1 antitrypsin (alpha1-AT) is a secretory glycoprotein produced mainly in the liver and monocytes. It is the most abundant serine protease inhibitor in human plasma. It predominantly inhibits neutrophil elastase thus, it prevents the breakdown of lung tissue. The deficiency of alpha1-AT is an inherited disorder characterized by reduced serum level of alpha1-AT. Protease inhibitor...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor that regulates prohormone thiol protease involved in enkephalin precursor processing.
Evidence is presented showing that alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) inhibits a novel prohormone thiol protease (PTP) involved in processing the enkephalin precursor. Colocalization of ACT immunoreactivity with PTP within isolated secretory vesicles of bovine adrenal medulla and pituitary indicated that endogenous ACT could regulate PTP in vivo. The endogenous 60 kDa bovine ACT (bACT)-like protein...
متن کاملLocalisation of a low-molecular-weight bronchial protease inhibitor in the peripheral human lung.
The localisation of a low-molecular-weight bronchial protease inhibitor (LMI) in human peripheral lung tissue was studied by an immunohistochemical method. This inhibitor was found exclusively in a part of the non-ciliated cell population of the bronchiolar epithelium. An inverse relationship was observed between the number of LMI-positive non-ciliated cells per millimetre of basement membrane ...

We have investigated the effect of theophylline on the kinetics of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase and related factors in lung tissue. The results show that the point of highest concentration of the C subunit of protein kinase which is active in casein phosphorylation is at 3h of incubation time, but in the presence of 100 Ilg/ InL and 10µg/mL theophylline, this is shifted to I.S an...
