Cathepsin D, a lysosomal aspartic proteinase, is secreted in the form of enzymatically inactive proenzyme by many types of human breast cancer tissue and exerts mitogenic activity toward these tissues. Flow cytometry was used to test the binding of procathepsin D purified from the secretion of the b

## Background: More than 95% of metastatic androgen independent prostatic cancer cells per day are in a proliferatively quiescent g0 state [berges et al.: clin cancer res 1:473-480, 1995] limiting their responsiveness to anti-proliferative chemotherapeutic agents. novel therapeutics capable of acti
Transforming growth factor-β€s (TGFβ€s) play a prominent role in tumour growth and metastasis by enhancing angiogenesis and suppressing immune surveillance. Despite the increased interest in the effect of TGFβ€s on tumour progression, little is known about the importance of TGFβ€3 and its receptor CD105
