Calpeptin, a cell-permeable calpain inhibitor, can also reduce Htt proteinopathy via induction of autophagy 103,105 . PubMed:30116051
Genetic knockdown of calpain 1 or calpain 2 or overexpression of their endogenous inhibitor, calpastatin, increased autophagy and cleared aggregates in SK-N-SH cells overexpressing a mutant form of Htt 103 . PubMed:30116051
The active form of calpain-2 is found in 50–75% of NFTs in tauopathies including AD, but not in protein aggregates found in other diseases (47). This is consistent with another study that found equivalent calpain levels between control and AD cases, but the activity level of the enzyme isolated from AD brain tissue was increased (48).
