The secreted protease is thought to aid tumor cell metastasis by participating in the degradation of the extracellular matrix through which the cells must migrate in order to establish secondary tumors.
The extensive precedent for secretion of the contents of multivesicular endosomes suggests that in response to signals, these protease-containing endosomes might fuse with the plasma membrane, a process that would dump a bolus of protease in a localized region outside a cell.
To understand the change in cellular targeting that occurs when synthesis of the protease increases, we are identifying cellular proteins that bind procathepsin L and thus potentially contribute to targeting the protease into the dense-core storage vesicles.

By understanding how the secretion of neuropeptides is controlled at a cellular and molecular level we hope to shed some light on how this class of transmitter molecules are able to regulate higher-order behaviors.
There are clear distinctions in the synthesis, sub-cellular localization, secretion, and post-synaptic actions of neuropeptides and classical transmitters.
For example the two types of transmitters are even packaged into different cellular organelles: classical transmitters are found in small recycling vesicles, while neuropeptides are contained within large dense core granules that are filled via the trans Golgi network.

Hormone secretion from cells where hormones are synthesized is regulated by the endocrine cells perceiving external stimuli and by factors that are endogenous to the cells.
Negative feedback occurs when hormones act at target tissues to induce secretion of a factor which may be another hormone that acts back on the endocrine gland from where the original hormone was secreted to modulate rate at which hormone is released.
Examples of cellular processes that are regulated are gene expression, division, protein synthesis, protein activation, inhibiting of protein activation, organelle synthesis and function, transport of intracellular stores, exocytosis, and endocytosis.

Only the so-called pre-synaptic neuron secretes the neurotransmitter, which binds to receptorss facing into the synapse from the post-synaptic cell.
The pre-synaptic nerve terminal generally buds from the tip of an axon, while the post-synaptic target surface typically appears on a dendrite, a cell body or another part of a cell.
The release of neurotransmitter is triggered by the arrival of a nerve impulse (or action potential) and occurs through an unusually rapid process of cellular secretion: Within the pre-synaptic nerve terminal, vesicles containing neurotransmitter sit "docked" and ready at the synaptic membrane.

 B-cell activation in HIV infection: relationship of spontaneous immunoglobulin secretion to various immunological ...
This increased level of synthesis and secretion is similar in HIV-infected subjects with no or few symptoms, in ARC patients and in AIDS patients.
Levels of spontaneous cellular secretion of IgG and IgM correlate negatively with the percentage but not with the absolute number of T4-positive cells and correlate positively with the percentage but not with the absolute number of T8-positive cells.
On the other hand, spontaneous IgD secretion correlates with neither the percent nor the absolute number of T4 or T8 cells suggesting that the increase of IgD-secretion by B cells is independent of the T-cell defects.

The mechanism of cellular secretion is highly conserved in evolution, whereby simple and complex organisms utilize similar strategies to deliver newly-synthesized proteins and lipids to the cell surface.
All eukaryotic cells, whether single-celled yeast or the neurons of mammals, deliver membranal components and secreted molecules to the surface via carrier vesicles (or tubulovesicular structures) that bud from the Golgi and fuse selectively with the plasma membrane.
These studies are highly relevant towards understanding how secretion is regulated in eukaryotes and may prove useful in identifying targets in the therapy of neuronal, endocrine, and neuromuscular disorders.
