Abstract Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a revolutionary therapeutic strategy in disease management, providing stark contrast to traditional approaches like small molecule inhibitors that primarily focus on inhibiting function. This advanced technology capitalizes the cell’s intrinsic proteolytic systems, including proteasome and lysosomal pathways, selectively eliminate disease-causing proteins. TPD not only enhances efficacy of treatments but also expands scope applications. Despite its considerable potential, faces challenges related properties drugs their rational design. review thoroughly explores mechanisms clinical advancements TPD, from initial conceptualization practical implementation, with particular proteolysis-targeting chimeras molecular glues. In addition, delves into emerging technologies methodologies aimed at addressing these enhancing efficacy. We discuss significant trials highlight promising outcomes associated drugs, illustrating potential transform treatment landscape. Furthermore, considers benefits combining other therapies enhance overall effectiveness overcome drug resistance. The future directions applications are explored, presenting an optimistic perspective further innovations. By offering comprehensive overview current innovations faced, this assesses transformative revolutionizing development setting stage for new era medical therapy.

Autophagy is a conserved mechanism that degrades damaged or superfluous cellular contents and enables nutrient recycling under starvation conditions. Many neurodegeneration-associated proteins are autophagy substrates, upregulation ameliorates disease in many animal models of neurodegeneration by enhancing the clearance toxic proteins, proinflammatory molecules, dysfunctional organelles. inhibition also induces neuronal glial senescence, phenomenon occurs with increasing age non-diseased brains as well response to stresses. However, aging mutations impair autophagy. This creates potentially detrimental feedback loop whereby accumulation these disease-associated impairs their autophagic clearance, facilitating further aggregation. Thus, understanding how interacts aging, neurodegenerative diseases temporal, cellular, genetic context important for future clinical application autophagy-modulating therapies neurodegeneration.

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosomal degradation pathway that eliminates substrate proteins through heat-shock cognate protein 70 recognition and lysosome-associated membrane type 2A-assisted translocation. It distinct from macroautophagy microautophagy. In recent years, the regulatory mechanisms of CMA have been gradually enriched, including newly discovered NRF2 p38-TFEB signaling, as positive negative pathways CMA, respectively. Normal activity involved in regulation metabolism, aging, immunity, cell cycle, other physiological processes, while dysfunction may be occurrence neurodegenerative disorders, tumors, intestinal atherosclerosis, so on, which provides potential targets for treatment prediction related diseases. This article describes general process its role activities summarizes connection between macroautophagy. addition, human diseases concern or protective are discussed. Our review deepens understanding functions summary past research vision future directions.

Abstract In Alzheimer's disease (AD), tau undergoes abnormal post‐translational modifications and aggregations. Impaired intracellular degradation pathways further exacerbate the accumulation of pathological tau. A new strategy – targeted protein recently emerged as a modality in drug discovery where bifunctional molecules bring target close to machinery promote clearance. Since 2016, this has been applied pathologies attracted broad interest academia pharmaceutical industry. However, systematic review recent studies on mechanisms is lacking. Here we (the ubiquitin–proteasome system autophagy–lysosome pathway), their dysfunction AD, tau‐targeted degraders, such proteolysis‐targeting chimeras autophagy‐targeting chimeras. We emphasize need for continuous exploration provide future perspective developing encouraging researchers work treatment options AD patients. Highlights Post‐translational modifications, aggregation, mutations affect degradation. vicious circle exists between impaired pathologies. Ubiquitin plays an important role complex pathways.

Targeted protein degradation has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality to treat human diseases by utilizing the cell's own disposal systems remove target. Significant clinical benefits have been observed for degrading many intracellular proteins. Recently, of extracellular proteins in lysosome developed. However, there limited successes selectively targets disease-relevant cells or tissues, which would greatly enhance development precision medicine. Additionally, most degraders are not readily available due their complexity. We report class easily accessible Folate Receptor TArgeting Chimeras (FRTACs) recruit folate receptor, primarily expressed on malignant cells, degrade soluble and membrane cancer-related vitro vivo. Our results indicate that FRTAC is general platform developing more precise effective chemical probes therapeutics study treatment cancers.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) through the autophagy pathway displays broad substrate scope and is gaining increasing interest in biology medicine. However, current approaches using small-molecule degraders have limitations due to lack of versatility, modularity, ease implementation are restricted addressing only ligandable proteins. Herein, we report a nonsmall molecule-based autophagy-targeting nanobody chimera (ATNC), or phagobody, for selective intracellular targets, which overcomes these limitations. The core an ATNC features recruiting proteins as well autophagic pathway-directing module. turns out be general, modular, versatile platform. We show that can versatilely implemented different ways including expressed intrabodies use, chemically induced proximity (CIP)-operated logic-gated conditional tunable degradation, cyclic cell-penetrating peptide-tethered cell-permeable phagobodies selectively degrade undruggable therapeutically relevant HE4 protein, resulting effective suppression ovarian cancer cell proliferation migration. Overall, represents targeted platform degrades unligandable offers therapeutic potential.
