Z-FL-COCHO, a cathepsin S inhibitor, enhances oxaliplatin-mediated apoptosis through the induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress

Cancer: Enhancing sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs A drug that inhibits a key cancer enzyme could be used in combination with anti-cancer drugs to improve sensitivity to treatment. The intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in several vital processes in cells, including folding and pro...

description Cancer: Enhancing sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs A drug that inhibits a key cancer enzyme could be used in combination with anti-cancer drugs to improve sensitivity to treatment. The intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in several vital processes in cells, including folding and processing proteins. Taeg Kyu Kwon at Keimyung University, Daegu, South Korea, and co-workers have demonstrated how inhibition of cathepsin S, which is expressed in many cancer cells, induces ER stress. In trials on human kidney cancer cells grafted onto mice and in vitro, the team found that ZFL (cathepsin S inhibitor) triggered transient ER stress by increasing calcium levels inside cells. Subsequent treatment with the anti-cancer drug oxaliplatin resulted in increased cancer cell death.
