Pompe disease is a rare and deadly muscle disorder. As a clinical entity, the disease has been known for over 75 years. While an optimist might be excited about the advances made during this time, a pessimist would note that we have yet to find a cure. However, both sides would agree that many findings in basic science-such as the Nobel prize-winning discoveries of glycogen metabolism, the lysosome, and autophagy-have become the foundation of our understanding of Pompe disease. The disease is a glycogen storage disorder, a lysosomal disorder, and an autophagic myopathy. In this review, we will discuss how these past discoveries have guided Pompe research and impacted recent therapeutic developments.
庞贝病是一种罕见且致命的肌肉疾病。作为一种临床实体,这种疾病已经存在了超过 75 年。虽然乐观主义者可能会对这段时间取得的进展感到兴奋,但悲观主义者会指出,我们还没有找到治愈方法。然而,双方都会同意,基础科学的许多发现——如糖原代谢、溶酶体和自噬的诺贝尔奖发现——已经成为我们理解庞贝病的基础。这种疾病是一种糖原贮积病、溶酶体贮积病和自噬性肌病。在这篇综述中,我们将讨论这些过去的发现如何指导庞贝病的研究,并影响最近的治疗进展。
