MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:99. [PMID: 38256360 PMCID: PMC10821070 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60010099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Danon disease is a multisystemic disorder associated with variants in the LAMP2 gene, mainly affecting the cardiac muscle. Here, we report a multigenerational family from Latvia with two male patients, hemizygous for a novel splice-affecting variant c.928+3A>G. Affected patients exhibit a cardiac phenotype, moderate mental disability, and mild retinal changes. Materials and Methods: Both patients underwent either exome or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene panel next-generation sequencing. The pathogenic variant effect was determined using reverse transcription, Sanger sequencing, and high-resolution electrophoresis. Results: Evaluation of the splicing process revealed that approximately 80% of the transcripts exhibited a lack of the entire exon 7. This alteration was predicted to cause a shift of the reading frame, consequently introducing a premature stop codon downstream in the sequence. Conclusions: Based on our data, we propose that c.928+3A>G is a pathogenic variant associated with Danon disease.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to identify a novel splicing-altering LAMP2 variant associated with Danon disease. METHODS AND RESULTS To identify the potential genetic mutation in a Chinese pedigree, whole-exome sequencing was conducted in the proband, and Sanger sequencing was performed on the proband's parents. To verify the impact of the splice-site variant, a minigene splicing assay was applied. The AlphaFold2 analysis was used to analyse the mutant protein structure. A splice-site variant (NM_013995.2:c.864+5G>A) located at intron 6 of the LAMP2 gene was identified as a potential pathogenic variant. The minigene splicing revealed that this variant causes exon 6 to be skipped, resulting in a truncated protein. The AlphaFold2 analysis showed that the mutation caused a protein twist direction change, leading to conformational abnormality. CONCLUSIONS A novel splice-site variant (NM_013995.2:c.864+5G>A) located at intron 6 of the LAMP2 gene was identified. This discovery may enlarge the LAMP2 variant spectrum, promote accurate genetic counselling, and contribute to the diagnosis of Danon disease.

Streptococcus lutetiensis Induces Autophagy via Oxidative Stress in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2549772. [PMID: 35178153 PMCID: PMC8843784 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2549772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Streptococcus lutetiensis, an emerging pathogen causing bovine mastitis, has not been well characterized. We reported that S. lutetiensis was pathogenic both in vivo and in vitro and caused inflammatory reactions in the mammary gland. However, roles of autophagy and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of S. lutetiensis-induced mastitis are unclear. In this study, an autophagy model of S. lutetiensis-infected bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) was used to assess oxidative stress and autophagy flux. Expressions of Beclin1, light chain 3II, and Sequestosome 1/p62 were elevated in bMECs after S. lutetiensis infection. In addition, autophagosome and lysosome formation confirmed autophagy occurred. Based on LysoTracker Red and acridine orange, lysosome degradation was blocked, and lower expressions of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2, cathepsins D, and cathepsins L confirmed lysosomal damage. Concurrently, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO1), and NAD (P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), and basilic proteins associated with the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway, were detected. Decreased keap1 and increased Nrf2, HO1, NQO1, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) indicated increased oxidative stress. Treatment with N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), an ROS inhibitor, decreased both oxidative stress and autophagy. Therefore, we concluded that S. lutetiensis caused intracellular oxidative stress and autophagy in bMECs. In addition, crosstalk between autophagy and oxidative stress affected the autophagic flux and blocked downstream autophagy. The Nrf2-keap1-p62 pathway participated in this process, with ROS acting upstream of these effects, interfering with normal cell functions.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for therapeutic applications should be as similar to native human antibodies as possible to minimize their immunogenicity in patients. Several transgenic animal platforms are available for the generation of fully human mAbs. Attributes such as specificity, efficacy and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) developability of antibodies against a specific target are typically established for antibodies obtained from one platform only. In this study, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) cross-reactive against human and cynomolgus LAMP1 were derived from the human immunoglobulin transgenic TRIANNI mouse and OmniChicken® platforms and assessed for their specificity, sequence diversity, ability to bind to and internalize into tumor cells, expected immunogenicity and CMC developability. Our results show that the two platforms were complementary at providing a large diversity of mAbs with respect to epitope coverage and antibody sequence diversity. Furthermore, most antibodies originating from either platform exhibited good manufacturability characteristics.

Abstract
In dairy herds, mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is difficult to completely cure on the account that S. aureus can invade bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and result in persistent infection in the mammary gland. Recent studies have demonstrated that autophagy can participate in cell homeostasis by eliminating intracellular microorganisms. The aim of the study was to investigate why S. aureus can evade autophagy clearance and survive in BMECs. The intracellular infection model was first constructed; then, the bacteria in autophagosome was detected by transmission electron microscopy. The autophagy flux induced by the S. aureus was also evaluated by immunoblot analysis and fluorescent labeling method for autophagy marker protein LC3. In addition, lysosomal alkalization and degradation ability were assessed using confocal microscopy. Results showed that, after infection, a double-layer membrane structure around the S. aureus was observed in BMECs, indicating that autophagy occurred. The change in autophagy marker protein and fluorescent labeling of autophagosome also confirmed autophagy. However, as time prolonged, the autophagy flux was markedly inhibited, leading to obvious autophagosome accumulation. At the same time, the lysosomal alkalization and degradation ability of BMECs were impaired. Collectively, these results indicated that S. aureus could escape autophagic degradation by inhibiting autophagy flux and damaging lysosomal function after invading BMECs.

Abstract
Danon disease is an X-linked disorder clinically characterized by the triad of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, and intellectual disability. Cardiomyopathy is a severe and life-threatening problem, for which cardiac transplantation is the only therapeutic option. The most striking finding in muscle biopsy samples is small basophilic granules scattered in myofibers, which are in fact small autophagic vacuoles surrounded by membranes with sarcolemmal features characterized by the recruitment of sarcolemmal proteins and acetylcholine esterase and by the presence of basal lamina on its luminal side. The mechanism underlying the formation of these autophagic vacuoles with unique sarcolemmal features (AVSF) still remains a mystery and its origin is unknown. In heart, cardiomyocytes show dramatically increased vacuolation and degenerative features, including myofibrillar disruption and lipofuscin accumulation. In brain, pale granular neurons and neurons with lipofuscin-like granules may be seen. Danon disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the LAMP2 gene, which encodes lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), a single-spanned transmembrane protein localized in the limiting membranes of lysosomes and late endosomes. Most mutations lead to splicing defects or protein truncation, resulting in a loss of transmembrane and/or cytoplasmic domains, leading to LAMP-2 protein deficiency. LAMP-2 is required for the maturation of autophagosomes by fusion with lysosomes; therefore, LAMP-2 deficiency leads to a failure in macroautophagy. There are three LAMP-2 isoforms, LAMP-2A, -2B, and -2C. Clinical features of Danon disease are thought to be mediated by loss of the LAMP-2B isoform which is the major isoform expressed in muscle. It is also known that LAMP-2 plays a role in chaperone-mediated autophagy and RNA- and DNA-targeting autophagy. However, the precise pathophysiological mechanism through which LAMP-2 deficiency causes Danon disease is still not fully understood and its elucidation would promote the development of new therapies.

Abstract
Pompe disease is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) gene, which encodes GAA. Although enzyme replacement therapy has recently improved patient survival greatly, the results in skeletal muscles and for advanced disease are still not satisfactory. Here, we report the derivation of Pompe disease-induced pluripotent stem cells (PomD-iPSCs) from two patients with different GAA mutations and their potential for pathogenesis modeling, drug testing and disease marker identification. PomD-iPSCs maintained pluripotent features and had low GAA activity and high glycogen content. Cardiomyocyte-like cells (CMLCs) differentiated from PomD-iPSCs recapitulated the hallmark Pompe disease pathophysiological phenotypes, including high levels of glycogen and multiple ultrastructural aberrances. Drug rescue assessment showed that exposure of PomD-iPSC-derived CMLCs to recombinant human GAA reversed the major pathologic phenotypes. Furthermore, l-carnitine treatment reduced defective cellular respiration in the diseased cells. By comparative transcriptome analysis, we identified glycogen metabolism, lysosome and mitochondria-related marker genes whose expression robustly correlated with the therapeutic effect of drug treatment in PomD-iPSC-derived CMLCs. Collectively, these results demonstrate that PomD-iPSCs are a promising in vitro disease model for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for Pompe disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LAMP3 is a newly described hypoxia regulated gene of potential interest in hypoxia-induced therapy resistance and metastasis. The prognostic value of LAMP3 in breast cancer was investigated. METHODS Expression levels of LAMP3 in breast cancer cell lines and patient tissues were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and in a tissue microarray by immunohistochemistry. Immunofluorescent staining was used to evaluate the distribution of LAMP3 in tumor xenografts relative to pimonidazole. Kaplan-Meier analysis as well as multivariate Cox regression survival analyses were performed. RESULTS LAMP3 was variably expressed in breast cancer cell lines and induced in an oxygen concentration-dependent manner. LAMP3 protein expression colocalized with hypoxic areas in breast cancer xenografts. LAMP3 mRNA was higher in breast tumors from patients with node-positive (P = .019) and/or steroid hormone receptor-negative tumors (P < .001). Breast cancer patients with high LAMP3 mRNA levels had more locoregional recurrences (P = .032 log-rank). This was limited to patients treated with lumpectomy and radiotherapy as primary treatment (n = 53, P = .009). No association with metastasis-free survival was found. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, LAMP3 remained as a statistically independent prognostic factor for locoregional recurrence (hazard ratio, 2.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-7.5; P = .048) after correction for menopausal status, histologic grade, tumor size, nodal status, therapy, and steroid hormone receptor status. LAMP3 protein in breast cancer tissue proved also to be of prognostic relevance. CONCLUSIONS Evidence was provided for an association of LAMP3 with tumor cell hypoxia in breast cancer xenografts. In the current breast cancer cohorts, LAMP3 had independent prognostic value.

Abstract
Autophagic vacuolar myopathy (AVM) is an entity defined by the presence of autophagic vacuoles on muscle pathology. There are two emerging categories in AVM in addition to the best characterized Pompe disease. One is Danon disease and its related disorders, which are characterized by autophagic vacuoles with unique sarcolemmal features (AVSF). AVSF express virtually all sarcolemmal proteins, in addition to acetylcholinesterase, on their vacuolar membranes. Danon disease is caused by primary deficiency of a lysosomal membrane protein, LAMP-2. Interestingly, in this disease, the number of AVSF increases as the patients age. Other AVSF myopathies include X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy which is now known to be caused by VMA21 mutations. The other AVM is typified by the presence of rimmed vacuoles, which are actually clusters of autophagic vacuoles on electron microscopy. One of the well known diseases in this group is distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV), also called hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM). DMRV is caused by mutations in GNE gene that encode a rate-limiting enzyme in the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. Interestingly, in DMRV model mice, sialic acid supplementation almost completely precluded the disease phenotype, indicating that decreased sialic acid is the cause of myopathic phenotype and sialic acid supplementation can prevent the disease process. Interestingly, both genetically diagnosable AVSF myopathies are primarily due to lysosomal dysfunctions. In contrast, rimmed vacuoles are secondarily caused by extra-lysosomal defects, such as hyposialylation in DMRV/HIBM, and are formed at later stages of the disease.

Abstract
LAMP2, the causative gene of Danon disease, located on chromosome Xq24, encodes the lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2). We describe clinical features and molecular data in an Italian patient with Danon disease. The patient had hyperCKemia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, no muscle weakness and slight mental impairment. Muscle biopsy revealed autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features and glycogen storage. Immunohistochemistry and immunoblot revealed traces of LAMP-2 protein in skeletal muscle. Molecular analysis of the LAMP2 gene revealed a novel hemizygous mutation affecting the invariant +1 position of the splice site of intron 8, resulting in aberrant transcripts with skipping of exon 8 in all three LAMP-2 isoforms, skipping of exons 7 and 8 in LAMP-2A and 2C, and a 15 bp deletion in exon 8 of LAMP-2B. Low levels of normal LAMP-2B transcript were also present. Danon disease is an under-recognized and frequently fatal condition, treatable by heart transplantation. Investigation of the primary molecular defect is important for cardiac surveillance and genetic counseling.

Abstract
Danon disease, an extremely rare X-linked dominant disorder, is characterized clinically by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), skeletal myopathy, and variable degree of mental retardation with autophagic vacuoles in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Reportedly, Danon disease is caused by a primary deficiency of a major lysosomal membrane glycoprotein, LAMP2 (lysosome-associated membrane protein 2). Here we review the clinical features, molecular genetics, related animal model, and differential diagnosis of Danon disease.

Abstract
Autophagic vacuoles are a frequent feature in numerous neuromuscular disorders. However, they are also pathognomonic morphologic hallmarks in a slowly emerging new group of conditions called autophagic vacuolar myopathies (AVMs), of which Danon disease, originally called "lysosomal glycogen storage disease with normal acid maltase," is the best known entity. Other such conditions, often although not always described from Japan, are X-linked myopathy with excessive authophagy, infantile autophagic vacuolar myopathy, adult-onset autophagic vacuolar myopathy with multiorgan involvement, and X-linked congenital autophagic vacuolar myopathy. Although only 1 protein, the transmembranous lysosomal protein LAMP-2, has been found mutated in Danon disease, the remaining AVMs are genetically still incompletely identified. Several of these conditions not only share autophagic vacuoles, but such autophagic vacuoles also have morphologic properties of the sarcolemma, thus rendering them autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features, an almost pathognomonic phenomenon of this group of disorders.

Abstract
Danon disease, an X-linked dominant disorder, results from mutations in the lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP2) gene and presents with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and mental retardation. To investigate the effects of LAMP2 gene mutations on protein expression in different tissues, we screened LAMP2 gene mutations and LAMP-2 protein deficiency in the skeletal muscle of nine unrelated patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and vacuolar myopathy. We identified three novel families (including one affected mother) with unreported LAMP2 gene null mutations and LAMP-2 protein deficiency in skeletal and myocardial muscle, leukocytes, and fibroblasts. LAMP-2 protein deficiency was detectable in various tissues, including leukocytes, explaining the multisystem clinical involvement. Skeletal muscle immunopathology showed that mutant protein was not localized in the Golgi complex, vacuolar membranes expressed sarcolemmal-specific proteins, and the degree of muscle fiber vacuolization correlated with clinical muscle involvement. In our female patient, muscle histopathology and LAMP-2 protein analysis was inconclusive, indicating that diagnosis in females requires mutation identification. The random X-chromosome inactivation found in muscle and leukocytes excluded the possibility that selective involvement of some tissues in females is due to skewed X-chromosome inactivation. Therefore, biochemical analysis of leukocytes might be used for screening in male patients, but genetic screening is required in females.

Abstract
LAMP3 (DC-LAMP, TSC403, CD208) was originally isolated as a gene specifically expressed in lung tissues. LAMP3 is located on a chromosome 3q segment that is frequently amplified in some human cancers, including uterine cervical cancer. Because two other members of the LAMP family of lysosomal membrane glycoproteins, LAMP1 and LAMP2, were previously implicated in potentially modulating the interaction of vascular endothelial and cancer cells, we hypothesized that LAMP3 might also play an important part in metastasis. To clarify the metastatic potential of LAMP3 in cervical cancers, we transfected a LAMP3 expression vector into a human uterine cervical cancer cell line, TCS. In an in vitro invasion assay, the migration of LAMP3-overexpressing TCS cells was significantly higher than in control TCS cells. In an in vivo metastasis assay, distant metastasis was detected in 9 of 11 LAMP3-overexpressing TCS cell-injected mice and in only 1 of 11 control mice. Histologic study showed that LAMP3-overexpressing cells readily invaded into the lymph-vascular space. In clinical samples, quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) analyses showed that LAMP3 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in 47 of 47 (100%) cervical cancers and in 2 of 15 (13%) cervical intraepithelial neoplasias, compared with a low level of LAMP3 mRNA expressed in normal uterine cervixes. Interestingly, high LAMP3 expression was significantly correlated with the overall survival of patients with stage I/II cervical cancers. These findings indicate that LAMP3 overexpression is associated with an enhanced metastatic potential and may be a prognostic factor for cervical cancer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A boy presented at age 2.5 years with mild left ventricular hypertrophy and mild myopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy progressed relentlessly, leading to death at age 16 years shortly before planned heart transplantation. During the course of the disease, his mother developed severe dilated cardiomyopathy and died of its complications at 46 years of age. The combination of myopathy and cardiomyopathy, the biochemical and electron microscopy findings in a muscle biopsy, and the pedigree suggested Danon disease (MIM 300257), an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP2). The diagnosis was confirmed by the identification of a novel mutation, G138A, in the LAMP2gene, leading to the premature stop codon W46X. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of Danon disease is important for genetic counselling and timely cardiac transplantation, the only effective therapeutic option.

Abstract
Among the autophagic vacuolar myopathies (AVMs), a subgroup is characterized pathologically by unusual autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features (AVSF) and includes Danon disease and X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy. The diagnostic importance and detailed morphologic features of AVSF in different AVMs have not been well established, and the mechanism of AVSF formation is not known. To address these issues, we have performed detailed histologic studies of myopathies with AVSF and other AVMs. In Danon disease and related AVMs, at the light microscopic level, autophagic vacuoles appeared to be accumulations of lysosomes, which, by electron microscopy consisted of clusters of autophagic vacuoles, indicative of autolysosomes. Some autolysosomes were surrounded by membranes with sarcolemmal proteins, acetylcholinesterase activity, and basal lamina. In Danon disease, the number of fibers with AVSF increased linearly with age while the number with autolysosomal accumulations decreased slightly, suggesting that AVSF are produced secondarily in response to autolysosomes. Most of the AVSF form enclosed spaces, indicating that the vacuolar membranes may be formed in situ rather than through sarcolemmal indentation. This unique intracytoplasmic membrane structure was not found in other AVMs. In conclusion, AVSF with acetylcholinesterase activity are autolysosomes surrounded by secondarily generated intracytoplasmic sarcolemma-like structure and delineates a subgroup of AVMs.

Abstract
A family with several cases of severe cardiomyopathy and moderate myopathy is described, affecting two brothers and their cousin as well as their mothers. One boy died of sudden cardiac arrest at 17 years of age. The two brothers were treated with an implantable defibrillator and their mother died suddenly at 40 years of age. Muscle biopsy in males showed vacuolar myopathy in two cases, and no abnormality on standard staining in the third case. Cardiac biopsies showed hypertrophic and vacuolated fibres. Complete absence of LAMP-2 was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry on the vacuolated skeletal and cardiac muscle, but also on the morphologically normal skeletal muscle. Sequencing of LAMP-2 gene showed a novel S157X mutation in exon 4. Danon disease is a rare and potentially lethal cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Diagnosis can be made by immunohistochemistry performed on cardiac or muscle biopsy, and confirmed by genetic analysis, which also allows for easy family screening and counselling.

Abstract
ALS2, the causative gene product for juvenile recessive amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS2), is a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase Rab5. Here, we report a novel ALS2 homologous gene, ALS2 C-terminal like (ALS2CL), which encodes a 108-kD ALS2CL protein. ALS2CL exhibited a specific but a relatively weak Rab5-GEF activity with accompanying rather strong Rab5-binding properties. In HeLa cells, co-expression of ALS2CL and Rab5A resulted in a unique tubulation phenotype of endosome compartments with significant colocalization of ALS2CL and Rab5A. These results suggest that ALS2CL is a novel factor modulating the Rab5-mediated endosome dynamics in the cells.

Abstract
Because of the great number of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and though this disease presents the lowest mortality rate among cancers, breast cancer remains a major public health problem. As for any cancer, the tumorigenic and metastatic processes are still hardly understood, and the biochemical markers that allow either a precise monitoring of the disease or the classification of the numerous forms of breast cancer remain too scarce. Therefore, great hopes are put on the development of high-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies. Such comprehensive techniques should help in understanding the processes and in defining steps of the disease by depicting specific genes or protein profiles. Because techniques dedicated to the current proteomic challenges are continuously improving, the probability of the discovery of new potential protein biomarkers is rapidly increasing. In addition, the identification of such markers should be eased by lowering the sample complexity; e.g., by sample fractionation, either according to specific physico-chemical properties of the proteins, or by focusing on definite subcellular compartments. In particular, proteins of the lysosomal compartment have been shown to be prone to alterations in their localization, expression, or post-translational modifications (PTMs) during the cancer process. Some of them, such as the aspartic protease cathepsin D (CatD), have even been proven as participating actively in the disease progression. The present review aims at giving an overview of the implication of the lysosome in breast cancer, and at showing how subproteomics and the constantly refining MS-based proteomic techniques may help in making breast cancer research progress, and thus, hopefully, in improving disease treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Danon disease is due to primary deficiency of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2. OBJECTIVE To define the clinicopathologic features of Danon disease. METHODS The features of 20 affected men and 18 affected women in 13 families with genetically confirmed Danon disease were reviewed. RESULTS All patients had cardiomyopathy, 18 of 20 male patients (90%) and 6 of 18 female patients (33%) had skeletal myopathy, and 14 of 20 male patients (70%) and one of 18 female patients (6%) had mental retardation. Men were affected before age 20 years whereas most affected women developed cardiomyopathy in adulthood. Muscle histology revealed basophilic vacuoles that contain acid phosphatase-positive material within membranes that lack lysosome-associated membrane protein-2. Heart transplantation is the most effective treatment for the otherwise lethal cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS Danon disease is an X-linked dominant multisystem disorder affecting predominantly cardiac and skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Danon disease ('lysosomal glycogen storage disease with normal acid maltase') is characterized by a cardiomyopathy, myopathy and variable mental retardation. Mutations in the coding sequence of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) were shown to cause a LAMP-2 deficiency in patients with Danon disease. LAMP-2 deficient mice manifest a similar vacuolar cardioskeletal myopathy. In addition to the patient reports LAMP-2 deficiency in mice causes pancreatic, hepatocytic, endothelial and leucocyte vacuolation. LAMP-2 deficient mice represent a valuable animal model of Danon disease. They will further be used to study the exact role of LAMP-2 in autophagy and to analyse the consequences of an impaired autophagic pathway in various tissues.

Abstract
Lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent, ceroid lipopigment material in various tissues and organs is a common feature of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). However, recent clinicopathologic and genetic studies have evidenced that NCLs encompass a group of highly heterogeneous disorders. In five of the eight NCL variants distinguished at present, genes associated with the disease process have been isolated and characterized (CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5, CLN8). Only products of two of these genes, CLN 1 and CLN2, have structural and functional properties of lysosomal enzymes. Nevertheless, according to the nature of the material accumulated in the lysosomes, NCLs in humans as well as natural animal models of these disorders can be divided into two major groups: those characterized by the prominent storage of saposins A and D, and those showing the predominance of subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase accumulation. Thus, taking into account the chemical character of the major component of the storage material, NCLs can be classified currently as proteinoses. Of importance, although lysosomal storage material accumulates in NCL subjects in various organs, only brain tissue shows severe dysfunction and cell death, another common feature of the NCL disease process. However, the relation between the genetic defects associated with the NCL forms, the accumulation of storage material, and tissue damage is still unknown. This chapter introduces the reader to the complex pathogenesis of NCLs and summarizes our current knowledge of the potential consequences of the genetic defects of NCL-associated proteins on the biology of the cell.

Abstract
"Lysosomal glycogen storage disease with normal acid maltase" which was originally described by Danon et al., is characterized clinically by cardiomyopathy, myopathy and variable mental retardation. The pathological hallmark of the disease is intracytoplasmic vacuoles containing autophagic material and glycogen in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. Sarcolemmal proteins and basal lamina are associated with the vacuolar membranes. Here we report ten unrelated patients, including one of the patients from the original case report, who have primary deficiencies of LAMP-2, a principal lysosomal membrane protein. From these results and the finding that LAMP-2-deficient mice manifest a similar vacuolar cardioskeletal myopathy, we conclude that primary LAMP-2 deficiency is the cause of Danon disease. To our knowledge this is the first example of human cardiopathy-myopathy that is caused by mutations in a lysosomal structural protein rather than an enzymatic protein.

Abstract
Previously, it has been shown that glycoproteins with approximately 130-kDa molecular mass react with antisera from patients with renal vasculitis (Kain, R., Matsui, K., Exner, M., Binder, S., Schaffner, G., Sommer, E. M., and Kerjaschki, D. (1995) J. Exp. Med. 181, 585-597). To search for a molecule that reacts with the antibodies, we screened a lambdagt11 human placental cDNA library. Two of the isolated clones were found to encode a putative counterpart of the rodent trans-Golgi network (TGN) glycoprotein 38, hTGN46, which has the tyrosine containing motif YQRL shared by mouse and rat TGN38. Moreover, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of hTGN46 transcripts and genomic analysis of a cDNA deposited as an expressed sequence tag in dbEST Data Base revealed that additional cDNAs exist that are produced by alternate usage of 3'-splice sites of intron III. Alternative splicing results in frame shifts and leads to novel larger translation products with one (for hTGN48) or two (for hTGN51) additional tyrosine-containing motifs. hTGN51 expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells were localized to the trans-Golgi network, overlapping with beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase even after mutating the tyrosine-containing motif common to hTGN46. In contrast, mutated hTGN48 and hTGN46 are no longer retrieved to the TGN. These results strongly suggest that hTGN51 may have a unique function compared with hTGN46 or hTGN48 in shuttling between the cell surface and the TGN.

Abstract
Lysosomes are the site of degradation of obsolete intracellular material during autophagy and of extracellular macromolecules following endocytosis and phagocytosis. The membrane of lysosomes and late endosomes is enriched in highly glycosylated transmembrane proteins of largely unknown function. Significant progress has been made in recent years towards elucidating the pathways by which these lysosomal membrane proteins are delivered to late endosomes and lysosomes. While some lysosomal membrane proteins follow the constitutive secretory pathway and reach lysosomes indirectly via the cell surface and endocytosis, others exit the trans-Golgi network in clathrin-coated vesicles for direct delivery to endosomes and lysosomes. Sorting from the Golgi or the plasma membrane into the endosomal system is mediated by signals encoded by the short cytosolic domain of these proteins. This review will discuss the role of lysosomal membrane proteins in the biogenesis of the late endosomal and lysosomal membranes, with particular emphasis on the structural features and molecular mechanisms underlying the intracellular trafficking of these proteins.
