Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The elastinolytic cysteine proteases, including cathepsins S and K, are overexpressed at sites of arterial elastin damage. Cystatin C, an inhibitor of these enzymes, is expressed in arterial smooth muscle cells; an imbalance in cystatin C has been implicated in the aortic wall degener...
