Calpain-2 inhibition prevents pressure overload-induced lysosomal cathepsin release and cardiac hypertrophy.

AIMS Dysregulated calpains and cathepsins contribute to adverse cardiac remodeling following chronic pathological stress, but their interplay and the specific contributions of the classical calpain isoforms remain undefined. Here, we tested whether calpain-2 initiates a lysosome-cathepsin proteolytic axis that promotes...
