Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Increasing evidence suggests that lysosomal cysteine proteases cathepsins contribute to the progression of cell apoptosis. Here we found that apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells OV-90 triggered by TNF was cathepsin B-depended. Two cathepsin B binding proteins, bikunin and TSRC1, were identified by yeast two-hybrid method and the interactions were confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of bikunin could suppress TNF-induced apoptosis of OV-90 cells, and TSRC1 overexpression had an opposite effect on apoptosis. The presented results suggest that cathepsin B and its interacting proteins, bikunin and TSRC1, are involved in the apoptotic pathway of ovarian cancer cells.
