Spatio-temporal processes in autophagosome-lysosome fusion [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Review
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation process involved in cellular energy metabolism, recycling and quality control. Autophagy is a highly dynamic and precisely regulated process, which contains four major steps: autophagic ...

Reactive oxygen species prevent lysosome coalescence during PIKfyve inhibition.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Lysosomes are terminal, degradative organelles of the endosomal pathway that undergo repeated fusion-fission cycles with themselves, endosomes, phagosomes, and autophagosomes. Lysosome number and size depends on balanced fusion and fission rates.

Reducing posttraumatic stress in parents of patients with a rare inherited metabolic disorder using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy: a case study

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Parents of children with severe inborn errors of metabolism frequently face stressful events related to the disease of their child and are consequently at high risk for developing parental posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Lysosome transport as a function of lysosome diameter. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles responsible for the transport and degradation of intracellular and extracellular cargo. The intracellular motion of lysosomes is both diffusive and active, mediated by motor proteins moving lysosomes along ...

Quantitative trait locus mapping identifies the Gpnmb gene as a modifier of mouse macrophage lysosome function

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We have previously shown that the DBA/2J versus AKR/J mouse strain is associated with decreased autophagy-mediated lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesterol esters. Our objective was to determine differences in lysosome function in AKR/J and DBA/2J macrophages,

The Trypanosoma cruzi enzyme TcGPXI is a glycosomal peroxidase and can be linked to trypanothione reduction by glutathione or tryparedoxin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Trypanosoma cruzi glutathione-dependent peroxidase I (TcGPXI) can reduce fatty acid, phospholipid, and short chain organic hydroperoxides utilizing a novel redox cycle in which enzyme activity is linked to the reduction of trypanothione, a parasite ...

ER – lysosome contacts at a pre-axonal region regulate axonal lysosome availability

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
In neurons and other cells, contacts between organelles regulates function and subcellular organization, but the precise mechanisms and effects are unclear.

Inhibition of glioma cell lysosome exocytosis inhibits glioma invasion. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cancer cells invade by secreting enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix and these are sequestered in lysosomal vesicles. In this study, the effects of the selective lysosome lysing drug GPN and the lysosome exocytosis inhibitor vacuolin-1 on ...

A Novel High Content Imaging-Based Screen Identifies the Anti-Helminthic Niclosamide as an Inhibitor of Lysosome Anterograde Trafficking and Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Lysosome trafficking plays a significant role in tumor invasion, a key event for the development of metastasis. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that the anterograde (outward) movement of lysosomes to the cell surface in response to
