Activity and tissue localization of cathepsin G in non small cell lung cancer.
Activity and tissue localization of cathepsin G were examined in tumors deriving from 73 patients with non small cell lung cancer. Activity of cathepsin G was highest in adenocarcinoma, lower in planoepitheliale cancer, the lowest in macrocellular cancer. In all histological types of tumors cathepsin G activity in supernatants was lower than in sediments. The enzyme immunohistochemically was localized in neutrophils. There is evident correlation between neutrophil numbers and cathepsin G activity in examined cancer types. Result of our examinations indicate a relationship between cathepsin G activity, grade of tumor differentiation and particular clinical stages of disease.
