"Inactivation of cathepsin B by HOCl-modified LDL was very rapid, occurring within 1 min of incubation at ambient temperature (data not shown)."

"AA = ascorbic acid, LA = lipoic acid, Lys = lysine, LysCA = Nαacetyl-lysine chloramine. HOCl-modified LDL inactivates the lysosomal protease cathepsin B 347 Cathepsin B (% control) RNHCl (µM) 100 60 75 45 50 30 25 15 00 0 50 100 150 200 AA or LA (µM) Fig. 4."

"31 The mechanism by which HOCl-modified LDL inactivates cathepsin B differs from that of copper-oxidized LDL."

"16–19 However, direct inactivation of cathepsin B by oxidized LDL has also been proposed."

sparser
"Thus, inactivation of cathepsin B by HOCl-modified LDL can be inhibited by ascorbic and lipoic acids, likely via elimination of LDL-associated chloramines."

"HOCl-modified LDL inactivates cathepsin B. LDL (0.5 mg protein/ml PBS, ~1 µM) was incubated for 10 min at ambient temperature with 25–200 µM HOCl."

sparser
"Thus, the data indicate that HOCl-modified LDL inactivates cathepsin B by a chloramine-dependent mechanism, most likely via oxidation of the enzyme’s critical cysteine residue."

sparser
"The data show that HOCl-modified LDL inactivates cathepsin B by a chloramine-dependent mechanism, most likely via oxidation of the enzyme’s critical cysteine residue, and that ascorbic and lipoic acids may be able to inhibit this potentially pro-atherogenic process by scavenging LDL-associated chloramines."

"37 LDL-associated chloramines, rather than secondary products of lipid oxidation, were implicated in inactivation of this enzyme,37 in agreement with inactivation of cathepsin B by HOCl-modified LDL in the present study."

sparser
"Elimination of LDL-associated chloramines by the small molecule antioxidants ascorbic and lipoic acids protected against cathepsin B inactivation by HOClmodified LDL."

sparser
"Inactivation of cathepsin B by oxidized LDL involves complex formation induced by binding of putative reactive sites exposed at low pH to thiols on the enzyme."

sparser
"Ascorbic and lipoic acids protect against inactivation of cathepsin B by HOCl-modified LDL."

"33–35 Since specific aldehydes, such as 4-hydroxynonenal, also inactivated LCAT,36 the mechanism of LCAT inactivation appears analogous to that for inactivation of cathepsin B by copper-oxidized LDL."

"J Clin Invest 1994; 94: 1506–1512. HOCl-modified LDL inactivates the lysosomal protease cathepsin B 349 21."

"DISCUSSION This study shows for the first time that HOCl-modified LDL can inactivate the lysosomal protease cathepsin B and that LDL-associated chloramines are likely involved in this process."
