16. CSTA significantly increases the risk of developing psoriasis in HLA-Cw6 individuals PMID: 21412248
17. Findings establish that genetic variability, smoking, and COPD all influence CSTA expression, as does SCC, supporting the concept that CSTA may make pivotal contributions to NSCLC pathogenesis in early and late stages of disease development. PMID: 21325429
18. A higher pretreated serum level of cystatin A was found to be associated with a higher nodal stage and poorer prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. PMID: 20461718
19. Up-regulation of stefin A, an endogenous inhibitor of cathepsin S, was found in inverted papilloma tissues as compared with its expression level in normal sinus mucosa tissues. PMID: 21038029
20. Cystatin A binds reduced forms of mite group 1 allergens Der f 1 and Der p 1, in which the cysteine residue at the catalytic center of the protease activity is reduced by treatment with L-cysteine but does not bind oxidized forms. PMID: 19933866
21. crystal structure in complex with cathepsin H PMID: 12581647
22. The 1,25(OH)(2)D3-responsive element in cystatin A gene is identical to TRE, T2 (-272 to -278). Suppression of Raf-1/MEK1/ERK1,2 signaling pathway increases cystatin A expression of normal human keratinocytes. PMID: 12682854
23. backbone dynamics of the monomeric and domain-swapped dimeric forms of stefin A by (15)N relaxation using a model-free approach PMID: 14747998
24. By using ThT fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy (AFM), it has been shown that human stefins A and B (subfamily A of cystatins) form amyloid fibrils PMID: 15048832
25. No association with psoriasis susceptibility PMID: 15175029
26. Chimeras of stefinA and B have been prepared and guanidine denaturation curves and folding rates have been examined. PMID: 16342276
27. only stefins A and B, i.e. type I cystatins, are up-regulated in lung tumours and thus able to counteract harmful tumour-associated proteolytic activity PMID: 16969475
28. Cystatin A suppresses UVB-induced apoptosis of keratinocytes by the inhibition of caspase 3 activation. PMID: 17412564
