Cathepsin B is of significant importance to cancer therapy as it is involved in various pathologies and oncogenic processes in humans. Numerous studies have shown that cathepsin B overexpression is correlated with invasive and metastatic phenotypes in cancers. Studies have shown that abnormal regulation of cathepsin B causes cells to acquire an oncogenic character. Cathepsin B is normally associated with the lysosomes involved in autophagy and immune response, but its aberrant expression has been shown to lead to cancers. The proteolytic nature of cathepsin B has been attributed to the infiltrative nature of tumor cells, and it has been shown that cathepsin B is secreted into the extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby facilitating its destruction. Studies have demonstrated that suppression of the proteolytic activity of cathepsin B retards the infiltrative behavior of tumor cells. Further suppression of the expression of cathepsin B via antisense or RNAi also resulted in suppression of tumor growth. In addition, studies have shown that combined suppression of various molecules, such as proteases and protease receptors, including cathepsin B, can significantly suppress tumor growth. Therefore, targeting the activity or expression of cathepsin B is of significant therapeutic importance for cancer treatment.
