摘要:
Proteins specific for prostate epithelial cells, normal or neoplastic, are identified and used for diagnosis, development of antibodies, and for evaluating drugs that react with the neoplastic specific proteins. Affinity based probes are used that react specifically with the active site to provide a measure of the enzyme activity of the cells. Prostate epithelial neoplastic cells can be used in screening candidate drugs for their effect in changing the proteome profile as to the serine-threonine hydrolase enzymes, using the affinity based probes for determining the profile.
摘要:
The invention provides isolated MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT1-MMP selective substrate polypeptides or functional peptidomimetics. The selective substrate polypeptides contain the following sequences: MMP-2 selective substrate polypeptides contain SEQ ID NOS:1-27, MMP-9 selective substrate polypeptides contain SEQ ID NOS:28-35, and MT1-MMP selective substrate polypeptide contain SEQ ID NOS:36-40. In addition, the invention provides a method of preferentially directing a moiety to a site of MMP-2 activity by administering to a subject an effective amount of an isolated MMP-2 selective substrate polypeptide containing SEQ ID NOS:45-47 linked to a moiety. Also provided is a method of preferentially directing a moiety to a site of MMP-9 activity by administering to a subject an effective amount of an isolated MMP-9 selective substrate polypeptide containing SEQ ID NO:44 linked to a moiety, and preferentially directing a moiety to a site of MT1-MMP activity by administering to a subject an effective amount of an isolated MT1-MMP selective substrate polypeptide containing SEQ ID NOS:36-40 linked to a moiety.
