Proteomic analysis of silenced cathepsin B expression suggests non-proteolytic cathepsin B functionality.

Abstract excerpt

Cathepsin B (CTSB) is a lysosomal endo- and exopeptidase that is also secreted in high amounts by malignant and non-malignant cells. We determined the effect of CTSB on the tumor cell secretome by shRNA-mediated silencing of CTSB mRNA expression and subsequent proteomic LC-MS/MS analysis of the cell supernatants. We identified significant protein changes of 17 secreted or shed proteins. Notably, we found a...
