Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by expansion of the polyglutamine stretch in huntingtin protein (HTT) resulting hallmark aggresomes/inclusion bodies (IBs) composed mutant (mHTT) and its fragments. Stimulating autophagy to enhance mHTT clearance considered a potential therapeutic strategy for HD. Our recent evaluation autophagic-lysosomal pathway (ALP) human HD brain reveals upregulated lysosomal biogenesis relatively normal flux early Vonsattel grade brains, but impaired autolysosome late suggesting that stimulation could have benefits as an earlier clinical intervention. Here, we tested this hypothesis crossing Q175 knock-in model with our reporter mouse TRGL ( T hy-1- R FP- G L C3) investigate vivo neuronal ALP dynamics. In and/or TRGL/Q175 mice, was detected autophagic vacuoles also exhibited high level colocalization receptors p62/SQSTM1 ubiquitin IBs. Compared robust pathology late-stage striatum, alterations models are late-onset milder included lowered phospho-p70S6K level, lysosome depletion elevation including more poorly acidified autolysosomes larger-sized lipofuscin granules, reflecting flux.

Autophagy is markedly impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we reveal unique autophagy dysregulation within neurons five AD mouse models vivo and identify its basis using a neuron-specific transgenic mRFP-eGFP-LC3 probe of pH, multiplex confocal imaging correlative light electron microscopy. Autolysosome acidification declines well before extracellular amyloid deposition, associated with lowered vATPase activity build-up Aβ/APP-βCTF selectively enlarged de-acidified autolysosomes. In more compromised yet still intact neurons, profuse Aβ-positive autophagic vacuoles (AVs) pack into large membrane blebs forming flower-like perikaryal rosettes. This pattern, termed PANTHOS (poisonous anthos (flower)), also present brains. Additional AVs coalesce peri-nuclear networks tubules where fibrillar β-amyloid accumulates intraluminally. Lysosomal permeabilization, cathepsin release lysosomal cell death ensue, accompanied by microglial invasion. Quantitative analyses confirm that individual exhibiting are the principal source senile plaques precursor protein models.

Abstract In neurons, RNA granules are transported along the axon for local translation away from soma. Recent studies indicate that some of this transport involves hitchhiking on lysosome-related vesicles. present study, we leveraged ability to prevent these vesicles into by knockout lysosome–kinesin adaptor BLOC-one-related complex (BORC) identify a subset axonal mRNAs depend transport. We found BORC causes depletion large group mainly encoding ribosomal and mitochondrial/oxidative phosphorylation proteins.

Deficits in lysosome result progressive neurodegeneration most lysosomal storage disorders contribute to pathogenesis aging-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Dysfunction and mistrafficking of organelles in autophagy- endosomal-lysosomal pathways are implicated neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we reveal selective vulnerability maturing degradative (late endosomes/amphisomes) to disease-relevant local calcium dysregulation. These undergo exclusive retrograde transport axons, with occasional pauses triggered by regulated efflux from agonist-evoked transient receptor potential cation channel mucolipin subfamily member 1 (TRPML1) channels—an effect greatly exaggerated exogenous agonist synthetic (ML-SA1). Deacidification organelles, as seen after Presenilin (PSEN1) loss function, induced pathological constitutive “inside-out” TRPML1 hyperactivation, slowing their comparably ML-SA1 causing accumulation dystrophic axons. The mechanism involved calcium-mediated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, which hyperphosphorylated dynein intermediate chain (DIC), reducing activity. Blocking JNK activity, or DIC1B serine-80 phosphorylation reversed deficits PSEN1 knockout neurons.

Lysosome dysfunction arises early and propels Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we show that amyloid precursor protein (APP), linked to early-onset AD in Down syndrome (DS), acts directly via its β-C-terminal fragment (βCTF) disrupt lysosomal vacuolar (H+)-adenosine triphosphatase (v-ATPase) acidification. In human DS fibroblasts, the phosphorylated 682YENPTY internalization motif of APP-βCTF binds selectively within a pocket v-ATPase V0a1 subunit cytoplasmic domain competitively inhibits association V1 subcomplex v-ATPase, thereby reducing activity. Lowering Tyr682 phosphorylation restores lysosome function fibroblasts vivo brains model mice. Notably, lowering below normal constitutive levels boosts assembly activity, suggesting may also be modulated tonically by phospho-APP-βCTF. Elevated two mouse models similarly disrupts function. These findings offer previously unknown insight into pathogenic mechanism underlying faulty lysosomes all forms AD.

ABSTRACT Abnormalities in the endosomal-autophagic-lysosomal (EAL) system are an early event Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, mechanisms underlying these abnormalities unclear. The transient receptor potential channel mucolipin 1(TRPML1, also known as MCOLN1), a vital endosomal-lysosomal Ca2+ whose loss of function leads to neurodegeneration, has not been investigated with respect EAL pathogenesis late-onset AD (LOAD). Here, we identify pathological hallmarks TRPML1 dysregulation LOAD neurons, including increased perinuclear clustering and vacuolation endolysosomes. We reveal that induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human cortical neurons expressing APOE ε4, strongest genetic risk factor for LOAD, have significantly diminished TRPML1-induced endolysosomal release. Furthermore, found blocking primary by depleting agonist PI(3,5)P2 via PIKfyve inhibition, recreated multiple features neuropathology evident LOAD. This included content, enlargement endolysosomes, autophagic vesicle accumulation endosomal enlargement. Strikingly, AD-like neuronal defects were rescued reactivation using its synthetic ML-SA1.

Abstract Accumulated levels of mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT) and its fragments are considered contributors to the pathogenesis Huntington’s disease (HD). Although lowering mHTT by stimulating autophagy has been a possible therapeutic strategy, role competence autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) during HD progression in human remains largely unknown. Here, we used multiplex confocal ultrastructural immunocytochemical analyses ALP functional markers relation aggresome pathology striatum less affected cortex brains staged from HD2 HD4 Vonsattel neuropathological criteria compared controls. Immunolabeling revealed localization HTT/mHTT vesicular compartments labeled autophagy-related adaptor proteins p62/SQSTM1 ubiquitin, cathepsin D (CTSD) as well HTT-positive inclusions. comparatively normal at HD2, neurons later stages exhibited progressive enlargement clustering CTSD-immunoreactive autolysosomes/lysosomes and, ultrastructurally, autophagic vacuole/lipofuscin granules accumulated progressively, more prominently than cortex. These changes were accompanied rises p62/SQSTM1, particularly their fragments, but not cortex, increases LAMP1 LAMP2 RNA protein. Importantly, no blockage autophagosome formation autophagosome-lysosome fusion was detected, thus pinpointing substrate clearance deficits basis for flux declines. The findings collectively suggest that upregulated lysosomal biogenesis preserved proteolysis maintain early-stage HD, failure advanced contributes HTT build-up potential neurotoxicity. support prospect stimulation applied early stages, when machinery is fully competent, may have benefits patients.
