Journal ArticleDOI

A Potential Role for Multiple Tissue Kallikrein Serine Proteases in Epidermal Desquamation

TL;DR: It is indicated that multiple KLKs may participate in desquamation through cleavage of desmoglein 1 and regulation by LEKTI and these findings may have clinical implications for the treatment of skin disorders in which KLK activity is elevated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel protease homolog differentially expressed in breast and ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: Protease M expression (mRNA) may be a useful marker in the detection of primary mammary carcinomas, as well as primary ovarian cancers, and other medical applications are also likely, based on sequence relatedness to trypsin and PSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional roles of human kallikrein-related peptidases.

TL;DR: Kallikrein-related peptidases constitute a single family of 15 (chymo)trypsin-like proteases (KLK1–15) with pleiotropic physiological roles and represent attractive biomarkers for clinical applications and potential therapeutic targets for common human pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of angiogenesis, tumour growth and metastasis by the NO-releasing vasodilators, isosorbide mononitrate and dinitrate.

TL;DR: The results indicate that ISMN and ISDN inhibit angiogenesis and tumour growth and metastasis in an animal tumour model, and it is considered that these nitrovasodilators which are widely used therapeutically and have well characterized pharmacological profiles, may also possess antitumour properties in the clinic.
