physiological function | mouse model of cardiomyocyte-specific human CTSA overexpression. CTSA strongly impairs the balance of the proteolytic system by upregulating proteases such as cathepsin B, cathepsin D, and cathepsin Z while downregulating numerous protease inhibitors. Cardiomyocyte-specific human CTSA overexpression strongly reduces the levels of numerous antioxidative stress proteins, i.e., peroxiredoxins and protein deglycase DJ-1. In vitro, using cultured rat cardiomyocytes, ectopic overexpression of CTSA results in accumulation of reactive oxygen species | Homo sapiens |
