Clarifying lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]

Trends in Neurosciences, 2011
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.

ARE ENZYME REPLACEMENT THERAPIES EFFECTIVE AGAINST LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISORDERS?

Gomal Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021
Lysosomal storage disorders are an agglomeration of genetic disorders such as Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, Pompe disease, Krabbe’s disease and mucopolysaccharidosis that typically impairs the prime orangs of humans, including brain, heart ...

Targeting neuronal lysosomal dysfunction caused by β-glucocerebrosidase deficiency with an enzyme-based brain shuttle construct

Nature Communications, 2023
Mutations in glucocerebrosidase cause the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher’s disease and are the most common risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. Therapies to restore the enzyme’s function in the brain hold great promise for treating the neurological ...

Lysosomal Storage Diseases-Regulating Neurodegeneration [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2015
Autophagy is a complex pathway regulated by numerous signaling events that recycles macromolecules and can be perturbed in lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). The concept of LSDs, which are characterized by aberrant, excessive storage of cellular material in lysosomes, developed following the discovery of an enzyme deficiency as the cause of Pompe ...

Niemann-Pick Type C disease: characterizing lipid levels in patients with variant lysosomal cholesterol storage[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
A central feature of Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is sequestration of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in lysosomes. A large phenotypic variability, on both a clinical as well as a molecular level, challenges NPC diagnosis.

Reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity: A new marker of liver disease severity across the clinical continuum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? [PDF]

, 2019
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) plays a key role in intracellular lipid metabolism. Reduced LAL activity promotes increased multi-organ lysosomal cholesterol ester storage, as observed in two recessive autosomal genetic diseases, Wolman disease and ...

SnapShot: Lysosomal Storage Diseases

Cell, 2020
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) represent a group of monogenic inherited metabolic disorders characterized by the progressive accumulation of undegraded substrates inside lysosomes, resulting in aberrant lysosomal activity and homeostasis. This SnapShot summarizes the intracellular localization and function of proteins implicated in LSDs.

AAV-mediated transcription factor EB (TFEB) gene delivery ameliorates muscle pathology and function in the murine model of Pompe Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Pompe disease (PD) is a metabolic myopathy due to acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency and characterized by extensive glycogen storage and impaired autophagy.

The Heart in Fabry Disease: Mechanisms Beyond Storage and Forthcoming Therapies

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
In patients with Fabry disease (FD), cardiovascular involvement is the main cause of death and reduction of quality of life. Left ventricular hypertrophy mimicking hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the main feature of FD cardiac involvement although ...

Enzyme replacement therapies: What is the best option? [PDF]

, 2018
Despite many beneficial outcomes of the conventional enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), several limitations such as the high-cost of the treatment and various inadvertent side effects including the occurrence of an immunological response against the ...
