An analog of glibenclamide selectively enhances autophagic degradation of misfolded α1-antitrypsin Z

TL;DR: It is shown that glibenclamide (GLB), a sulfonylurea drug that has been used broadly in clinical medicine as an oral hypoglycemic agent, promotes autophagic degradation of misfolded ATZ in mammalian cell line models of ATD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The amplified mouse squamous cell carcinoma antigen gene locus contains a serpin (Serpinb3b) that inhibits both papain-like cysteine and trypsin-like serine proteinases.

TL;DR: Mouse Serpinb3b extends the inhibitory repertoire of the mouse SCCA locus to include a second cross-class inhibitor with activity against both papain-like cysteine and trypsin-like serine proteinases, confirming that the genomic expansion of the clade B serpins in the mouse was associated with a functional diversification of inhibitory activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of serpin–protease expression by comparative analysis of real-time PCR profiling data

TL;DR: The most striking finding was the dramatic change observed in the regulation of expression between proteases and their cognate inhibitors in diseased tissues, suggesting the loss of regulated serpin-protease matched expression may underlie the imbalanced protease activity observed in pathological states.
