摘要:
The present invention provides a plasminogen fragment with the activity to inhibit tumor metastasis and growth, a process for preparing said fragment and an agent for inhibiting tumor metastasis and growth comprising said fragment as an active ingredient. The plasminogen fragment of the present invention is prepared from a elastase lysate of Lys-Plasminogen, which is produced by treating a natural plasminogen with plasmin, and preferably exhibits a strong heparin binding activity. The agent for inhibiting tumor metastasis and growth comprising the plasminogen fragment as an active ingredient of the present invention is useful for clinically treating solid cancers such as lung cancer or colon cancer.
摘要:
An aspartic enzyme having a high homology with a cathepsin D precursor, which is a protein having the N-terminal amino acid sequence LVRIPLHKFT (SEQ ID NO: 1) and showing a molecular weight of about 45 kDa in non-reductive SDS electrophoresis and can degrade plasma proteins, typically plasminogen, to produce plasma protein fragments having an inhibitory activity to metastasis and growth of cancer; the plasma protein fragments having an inhibitory activity to metastasis and growth of cancer which is prepared via the degradation with the above enzyme; a process for preparing the protein fragments which comprises degrading plasma proteins with the above enzyme; and a medicament for treating and preventing metastasis and growth of cancer which comprises as a major ingredient the above enzyme or the plasma protein fragments.
