“…It has been implicated in a variety of diseases including cancer invasion and metastasis (Ledakis et al, 1996;Matarrese et al, 2010;Roshy et al, 2003;Sinha et al, 2001;Szpaderska and Frankfater, 2001;Yan et al, 1998), angiogenesis (Im et al, 2005;Kruszewski et al, 2004;Malla et al, 2011;Sinha et al, 1995), inflammation (Hashimoto et al, 2001;Kakegawa et al, 2004), and Alzheimer's Disease (Gan et al, 2004;Hook, 2006;Hook et al, 2008). Thus, cathepsin B is a promising target for anti-cancer drug design (Lim et al, 2004;Palermo and Joyce, 2008) and a potential target for Alzheimer's Disease (Hook et al, 2008 (Lecaille et al, 2008). Cathepsin K is highly expressed in osteoclasts (Drake et al, 1996) but also occurs in lung epithelia cells (Bühling et al, 1999), cultured primary neonatal skin fibroblasts activated chondrocytes, and in synovial fibroblasts of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (Lecaille et al, 2008;Ruettger et al, 2008;Skoumal et al, 2005).…”
