The autophagy-lysosome pathway plays an indispensable role in the protein quality control by degrading abnormal organelles and proteins including α-synuclein (αSyn) associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the activation of this pathway is mainly by targeting lysosomal enzymic activity. Here, we focused on the autophagosome-lysosome fusion process around the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) regulated by lysosomal positioning. Through high-throughput chemical screening, we identified 6 out of 1200 clinically approved drugs enabling the lysosomes to accumulate around the MTOC with autophagy flux enhancement. We further demonstrated that these compounds induce the lysosomal clustering through a JIP4-TRPML1-dependent mechanism. Among them, the lysosomal-clustering compound albendazole promoted the autophagy-dependent degradation of Triton-X-insoluble, proteasome inhibitor-induced aggregates. In a cellular PD model, albendazole boosted insoluble αSyn degradation. Our results revealed that lysosomal clustering can facilitate the breakdown of protein aggregates, suggesting that lysosome-clustering compounds may offer a promising therapeutic strategy against neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the presence of aggregate-prone proteins.
自噬溶酶体途径通过降解与帕金森病(PD)发病机制相关的异常细胞器和蛋白质(包括α-突触核蛋白(αSyn)),在蛋白质质量控制中发挥不可或缺的作用。然而,该途径的激活主要是通过靶向溶酶体酶活性来实现的。在这里,我们专注于受溶酶体定位调控的微管组织中心(MTOC)周围的自噬体-溶酶体融合过程。通过高通量化学筛选,我们从 1200 种临床批准的药物中鉴定出 6 种药物,这些药物能够使溶酶体在具有自噬通量增强的情况下聚集在 MTOC 周围。我们进一步证明,这些化合物通过 JIP4-TRPML1 依赖性机制诱导溶酶体聚集。其中,溶酶体聚集化合物阿苯达唑促进了 Triton-X 不溶性、蛋白酶体抑制剂诱导的聚集体的自噬依赖性降解。在细胞 PD 模型中,阿苯达唑增强了不溶性 αSyn 的降解。我们的研究结果表明,溶酶体聚集可以促进蛋白质聚集体的分解,这表明溶酶体聚集化合物可能为以存在易于聚集的蛋白质为特征的神经退行性疾病提供一种有前景的治疗策略。
