Autophagy in lysosomal storage disorders
Lysosomes are ubiquitous intracellular organelles that have an acidic internal pH, and play crucial roles in cellular clearance. Numerous functions depend on normal lysosomes, including the turnover of cellular constituents, cholesterol homeostasis, downregulation of surface receptors, inactivation of pathogenic organisms, repair of the plasma membrane and bone remodeling. Lysosomal storage dis...
متن کاملLysosomal storage diseases: heterogeneous group of disorders.
The name of lysosomal storage diseases stems from the fact that in this category of disorders specific undegraded materials are stored in the lysosomes. This is usually caused by a lysosomal enzyme deficiency and leads to a cascade of pathological outcomes. Apart from deficiency of lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal storage diseases also include deficiencies in proteins necessary for enzyme functioni...
متن کاملA block of autophagy in lysosomal storage disorders.
Most lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are caused by deficiencies of lysosomal hydrolases. While LSDs were among the first inherited diseases for which the underlying biochemical defects were identified, the mechanisms from enzyme deficiency to cell death are poorly understood. Here we show that lysosomal storage impairs autophagic delivery of bulk cytosolic contents to lysosomes. By studying ...
متن کاملDysregulation of autophagy as a common mechanism in lysosomal storage diseases
The lysosome plays a pivotal role between catabolic and anabolic processes as the nexus for signalling pathways responsive to a variety of factors, such as growth, nutrient availability, energetic status and cellular stressors. Lysosomes are also the terminal degradative organelles for autophagy through which macromolecules and damaged cellular components and organelles are degraded. Autophagy ...
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...
