The poor prognosis of human malignant gliomas is due to their invasion and recurrence, the molecular mechanisms of which remain poorly characterized. We have accumulated substantial evidence implicating the cysteine protease cathepsin B in human glioma malignancy. Increases in cathepsin B expression were observed throughout progression. In primary brain tumor tissue, transcript abundance (Northern blot analysis) increased in low-grade astrocytoma to high-grade glioblastoma from 3- to 6-fold, respectively, above normal brain levels. This increase correlated with increases in protein abundance (from + to ) as measured by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, in glioblastoma cell lines increases in transcript abundance (ranging from 3- to 12-fold) were accompanied by increases in enzyme activity (44-133 nmol/min x mg protein). Altered subcellular localization was observed both immunohistochemically and by indirect immunofluorescence confocal microscopy and was found to correlate with increased grade. In addition, this increase in cathepsin B expression and altered subcellular localization correlated with histomorphological invasion and clinical evidence of invasion as detected by magnetic resonance imaging. These data support the hypothesis that cathepsin B plays a role in human glioma progression and invasion.

D002401 Cathepsin B A lysosomal cysteine proteinase with a specificity similar to that of PAPAIN. The enzyme is present in a variety of tissues and is important in many physiological and pathological processes. In pathology, cathepsin B has been found to be involved in DEMYELINATION; EMPHYSEMA; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, and NEOPLASM INVASIVENESS.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
