BK channel agonist represents a potential therapeutic approach for lysosomal storage diseases
Efficient lysosomal Ca2+ release plays an essential role in lysosomal trafficking. We have recently shown that lysosomal big conductance Ca2+-activated potassium (BK) channel forms a physical and functional coupling with the lysosomal Ca2+ release channel Transient Receptor Potential Mucolipin-1 (TRPML1). BK and TRPML1 forms a positive feedback loop to facilitate lysosomal Ca2+ release and subs...
متن کاملEmerging therapies and therapeutic concepts for lysosomal storage diseases
Introduction: The success of the first enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for a lysosomal storage disease (LSD) and the regulatory and commercial incentives provided by authorities for orphan and rare diseases has spawned a massive interest for developing drugs for these intriguing but devastating genetic disorders. The potential for new drugs in this arena is vast, as not only a high number of L...
متن کاملLysosomal storage diseases
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that contain a variety of different hydrolases. A genetic deficiency in the enzymatic activity of one of these hydrolases will lead to the accumulation of the material meant for lysosomal degradation. Examples include glycogen in the case of Pompe disease, glycosaminoglycans in the case of the mucopolysaccharidoses, glycoproteins in the cases of the oligosac...
متن کاملClarifying lysosomal storage diseases.
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a class of metabolic disorders caused by mutations in proteins critical for lysosomal function. Such proteins include lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal integral membrane proteins, and proteins involved in the post-translational modification and trafficking of lysosomal proteins. There are many recognized forms of LSDs and, although individually rare, their combi...
متن کاملCross-talk between TRPML1 channel, lipids and lysosomal storage diseases
Described by the Belgian cytologist Christian De Duve in 1949,(1) lysosomes (from the Greek "digestive bodies") are ubiquitous specialized intracellular organelles that ensure the degradation/recycling of macromolecules (proteins, lipids, membranes) through the activity of specific enzymes (i.e., acid hydrolases). They receive their substrates through different internalization pathways (i.e., e...
