Cathepsins, lysosomal proteases, can trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis) when released into the cytoplasm. This review explores mechanisms of their release and roles in apoptosis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a crucial biological process.
  • Proteolytic enzymes play significant roles in regulating apoptosis.
  • Cathepsins are lysosomal proteases with emerging roles in cell death pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review mechanisms inducing lysosomal enzyme release.
  • To elucidate the functional relevance of specific cathepsins in apoptosis.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of cathepsins' role in programmed cell death.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of apoptosis mechanisms.
  • Analysis of studies on lysosomal enzyme release.
  • Examination of cathepsin function in various apoptosis models.

Main Results:

  • Cathepsins are released from lysosomes into the cytoplasm upon specific cellular signals.
  • Released cathepsins activate caspases and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways.
  • Specific cathepsins demonstrate functional relevance in distinct apoptosis models.

Conclusions:

  • Cathepsin release from lysosomes is a key event in initiating apoptosis.
  • Cathepsins are critical regulators of programmed cell death.
  • Understanding cathepsin-mediated apoptosis offers insights into therapeutic strategies.
