Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2016 Since Christian de Duve first described the lysosome in the 1950s, it has been generally presented as a membrane-bound compartment containing acid hydrolases that enables the cell to degrade molecules without being digested by autolysis.

Contact, 2022 Lysosomes serve as cellular degradation and signaling centers that coordinate the turnover of macromolecules with cell metabolism. The adaptation of cellular lysosome content and activity via the induction of lysosome biogenesis is therefore key to cell ...

Screening of four lysosome-related genes in sepsis based on RNA sequencing technology
BMC Immunology, 2023 Purpose Screening of lysosome-related genes in sepsis patients to provide direction for lysosome-targeted therapy. Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 22 patients diagnosed with sepsis and 10 normal controls for the purpose of RNA ...

Nanodrugs Detonate Lysosome Bombs
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Cancer cell lysosomes contain various hydrolases and non-degraded substrates that are corrosive enough to destroy cancer cells. However, many traditional small molecule drugs targeting lysosomes have strong side effects because they cannot effectively ...

High lumenal chloride in the lysosome is critical for lysosome function
eLife, 2017 Lysosomes are organelles responsible for the breakdown and recycling of cellular machinery. Dysfunctional lysosomes give rise to lysosomal storage disorders as well as common neurodegenerative diseases.

BMC Cancer, 2017 Background Tumor invasion through a basement membrane is one of the earliest steps in metastasis, and growth factors, such as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), stimulate this process in a majority of solid tumors. Basement

Lysosome Depletion-Triggered Autophagy Impairment in Progressive Kidney Injury
Kidney Diseases, 2021 Background: Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a cellular recycling process involving the destruction of damaged organelles and proteins in intracellular lysosomes for efficient nutrient reuse.

Neuroscience Letters, 2019 Lysosomes support diverse cellular functions by acting as sites of macromolecule degradation and nutrient recycling. The degradative abilities of lysosomes are conferred by a lumen that is characterized by an acidic pH and which contains numerous hydrolases that support the breakdown of major cellular macromolecules to yield cellular building blocks ...

Inhibition of glioma cell lysosome exocytosis inhibits glioma invasion.
PLoS 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 ...

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Lysosome membrane recycling occurs at the end of the autophagic pathway and requires proteins that are mostly encoded by genes mutated in neurodegenerative diseases. However, its implication in neuronal death is still unclear. Here, we show that
