Abstract
The understanding of lysosomes has come a long way since the initial discovery of their role in degrading cellular waste. The lysosome is now recognized as a highly dynamic organelle positioned at the crossroads of cell signaling, transcription, and metabolism. Underscoring its importance is the observation that, in addition to rare monogenic lysosomal storage disorders, genes regulating lysosomal function are implicated in common sporadic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Developing therapies for these disorders is particularly challenging, largely due to gaps in knowledge of the underlying molecular and cellular processes. In this review, we discuss technological advances that have propelled deeper understanding of the lysosome in neurodegeneration, from elucidating the functions of lysosome-related disease risk variants at the level of the organelle, cell, and tissue, to the development of disease-specific biological models that recapitulate disease manifestations. Finally, we identify key questions to be addressed to successfully bridge the gap to the clinic.

Abstract
The lysosome is an important membrane-bound acidic organelle that is regarded as the degradative center as well as multifunctional signaling hub. It digests unwanted macromolecules, damaged organelles, microbes, and other materials derived from endocytosis, autophagy, and phagocytosis. To function properly, the ionic homeostasis and membrane potential of the lysosome are strictly regulated by transporters and ion channels. As the most abundant cation inside the cell, potassium ions (K+) are vital for lysosomal membrane potential and lysosomal calcium (Ca2+) signaling. However, our understanding about how lysosomal K+homeostasis is regulated and what are the functions of K+in the lysosome is very limited. Currently, two lysosomal K+channels have been identified: large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+channel (BK) and transmembrane Protein 175 (TMEM175). In this review, we summarize recent development in our understanding of K+ homeostasis and K+channels in the lysosome. We hope to guide the readers into a more in-depth discussion of lysosomal K+ channels in lysosomal physiology and human diseases.

Abstract
Water molecules within biological ion channels are in a nanoconfined environment and therefore exhibit behaviors which differ from that of bulk water. Here, we investigate the phenomenon of hydrophobic gating, the process by which a nanopore may spontaneously dewet to form a "vapor lock" if the pore is sufficiently hydrophobic and/or narrow. This occurs without steric occlusion of the pore. Using molecular dynamics simulations with both rigid fixed-charge and polarizable (AMOEBA) force fields, we investigate this wetting/dewetting behavior in the transmembrane protein 175 ion channel. We examine how a range of rigid fixed-charge and polarizable water models affect wetting/dewetting in both the wild-type structure and in mutants chosen to cover a range of nanopore radii and pore-lining hydrophobicities. Crucially, we find that the rigid fixed-charge water models lead to similar wetting/dewetting behaviors, but that the polarizable water model resulted in an increased wettability of the hydrophobic gating region of the pore. This has significant implications for molecular simulations of nanoconfined water, as it implies that polarizability may need to be included if we are to gain detailed mechanistic insights into wetting/dewetting processes. These findings are of importance for the design of functionalized biomimetic nanopores (e.g., sensing or desalination) as well as for furthering our understanding of the mechanistic processes underlying biological ion channel function.

Abstract
Autophagy, the process of cellular self-degradation, is intrinsically tied to the degradative function of the lysosome. Several diseases have been linked to lysosomal degradative defects, including rare lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Ion channels and pumps play a major regulatory role in autophagy. Importantly, calcium signaling produced by TRPML1 (transient receptor potential cation channel, mucolipin subfamily) has been shown to regulate autophagic progression through biogenesis of autophagic-lysosomal organelles, activation of mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) and degradation of autophagic cargo. ER calcium channels such as IP3Rs supply calcium for the lysosome, and lysosomal function is severely disrupted in the absence of lysosomal calcium replenishment by the ER. TRPML1 function is also regulated by LC3 (microtubule-associated protein light chain 3) and mTORC1, two critical components of the autophagic network. Here we provide an overview of the current knowledge about ion channels and pumps-including lysosomal V-ATPase (vacuolar proton-ATPase), which is required for acidification and hence proper enzymatic activity of lysosomal hydrolases-in the regulation of autophagy, and discuss how functional impairment of some of these leads to diseases.

Abstract
Lysosomal acidification is essential for its degradative function, and the flux of H+ correlated with that of K+ in lysosomes. However, there is little research on their correlation due to the lack of probes that can simultaneously image these two ions. To deeply understand the role of K+ in lysosomal acidification, here, we designed and fabricated a nanodevice using a K+-aptamer and two pH-triggered nanoswitches incorporated into a DNA triangular prism (DTP) as a dual signal response platform to simultaneously visualize K+ and pH in lysosomes by a fluorescence method. This strategy could conveniently integrate two signal recognition modules into one probe, so as to achieve the goal of sensitive detection of two kinds of signals in the same time and space, which is suitable for the detection of various signals with the correlation of concentration. By co-imaging both K+ and H+ in lysosomes, we found that the efflux of K+ was accompanied by a decrease of pH, which is of great value in understanding lysosomal acidification. Moreover, this strategy also has broad prospects as a versatile optical sensing platform for multiplexed analysis of other biomolecules in living cells.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily associated with the progressive neurodegeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain. The resulting motor symptoms are managed with the help of dopamine replacement therapies. However, these therapeutics do not prevent the neurodegeneration underlying the disease and therefore lose their effectiveness in managing disease symptoms over time. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop newer therapeutics for the benefit of patients. The release of dopamine and the firing activity of substantia nigra neurons is regulated by several ion channels that act in concert. Dysregulations of these channels cause the aberrant movement of various ions in the intracellular milieu. This eventually leads to disruption of intracellular signalling cascades, alterations in cellular homeostasis, and bioenergetic deficits. Therefore, ion channels play a central role in driving the high vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to degenerate during PD. Targeting ion channels offers an attractive mechanistic strategy to combat the process of neurodegeneration. In this review, we highlight the evidence pointing to the role of various ion channels in driving the PD processes. In addition, we also discuss the various drugs or compounds that target the ion channels and have shown neuroprotective potential in the in-vitro and in-vivo models of PD. We also discuss the current clinical status of various drugs targeting the ion channels in the context of PD.

Abstract
Genes associated with endolysosomal function have been recently associated with familial Parkinson's disease and described as risk factors for sporadic cases. This indicates that deficits in this pathway predispose to parkinsonism. To better understand the role of these genes in disease development, rodent models have been created by targeting genes playing a role in endolysosomal function, such as LRRK2, DNAJC6, SYNJ1, VPS35, GBA1, ATP13A2 and TMEM175. Here, we review the latest findings describing parkinsonian features in these animal models secondary to endolysosomal dysfunction. Also, we provide suggestions for further development and application of these animal models to better understand the contribution of endolysosomal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease and provide novel models for testing therapeutic approaches.

Translocation of TMEM175 Lysosomal Potassium Channel to the Plasma Membrane by Dynasore Compounds. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910515.

Abstract
TMEM175 (transmembrane protein 175) coding sequence variants are associated with increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. TMEM175 is the ubiquitous lysosomal K+ channel regulated by growth factor receptor signaling and direct interaction with protein kinase B (PKB/Akt). In the present study, we show that the expression of mouse TMEM175 results in very small K+ currents through the plasma membrane in Xenopus laevis oocytes, in good accordance with the previously reported intracellular localization of the channel. However, the application of the dynamin inhibitor compounds, dynasore or dyngo-4a, substantially increased TMEM175 currents measured by the two-electrode voltage clamp method. TMEM175 was more permeable to cesium than potassium ions, voltage-dependently blocked by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and slightly inhibited by extracellular acidification. Immunocytochemistry experiments indicated that dyngo-4a increased the amount of epitope-tagged TMEM175 channel on the cell surface. The coexpression of dominant-negative dynamin, and the inhibition of clathrin- or caveolin-dependent endocytosis increased TMEM175 current much less than dynasore. Therefore, dynamin-independent pharmacological effects of dynasore may also contribute to the action on the channel. TMEM175 current rapidly decays after the withdrawal of dynasore, raising the possibility that an efficient internalization mechanism removes the channel from the plasma membrane. Dyngo-4a induced about 20-fold larger TMEM175 currents than the PKB activator SC79, or the coexpression of a constitutively active mutant PKB with the channel. In contrast, the allosteric PKB inhibitor MK2206 diminished the TMEM175 current in the presence of dyngo-4a. These data suggest that, in addition to the lysosomes, PKB-dependent regulation also influences TMEM175 current in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Autophagy is a catabolic process that promotes cellular fitness by clearing aggregated protein species, pathogens and damaged organelles through lysosomal degradation. The autophagic process is particularly important in the nervous system where post-mitotic neurons rely heavily on protein and organelle quality control in order to maintain cellular health throughout the lifetime of the organism. Alterations of autophagy and lysosomal function are hallmarks of various neurodegenerative disorders. In this review, we conceptualize some of the mechanistic and genetic evidence pointing towards autophagy and lysosomal dysfunction as a causal driver of neurodegeneration. Furthermore, we discuss rate-limiting pathway nodes and potential approaches to restore pathway activity, from autophagy initiation, cargo sequestration to lysosomal capacity.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, is clinically characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Although overall great achievements have been made in elucidating the etiology and pathogenesis of PD, the exact mechanisms of this complicated systemic disease are still far from being clearly understood. Consequently, most of the currently-used diagnostic tools and therapeutic options for PD are symptomatic. In this perspective review, we highlight the hot topics in recent PD research for both clinicians and researchers. Some of these hot topics, such as sleep disorders and gut symptoms, have been neglected but are currently emphasized due to their close association with PD. Following these research directions in future PD research may help understand the nature of the disease and facilitate the discovery of new strategies for the diagnosis and therapy of PD.
