Lysosomal fusion and SNARE function are impaired by cholesterol accumulation in lysosomal storage disorders
Open accessAbstract
The function of lysosomes relies on the ability of the lysosomal membrane to fuse with several target membranes in the cell. It is known that in lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), lysosomal accumulation of several types of substrates is associated with lysosomal dysfunction and impairment of endocytic membrane traffic. By analysing cells from two severe neurodegenerative LSDs, we observed that cholesterol abnormally accumulates in the endolysosomal membrane of LSD cells, thereby reducing the ability of lysosomes to efficiently fuse with endocytic and autophagic vesicles. Furthermore, we discovered that soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs), which are key components of the cellular membrane fusion machinery are aberrantly sequestered in cholesterol-enriched regions of LSD endolysosomal membranes. This abnormal spatial organization locks SNAREs in complexes and impairs their sorting and recycling. Importantly, reducing membrane cholesterol levels in LSD cells restores normal SNARE function and efficient lysosomal fusion. Our results support a model by which cholesterol abnormalities determine lysosomal dysfunction and endocytic traffic jam in LSDs by impairing the membrane fusion machinery, thus suggesting new therapeutic targets for the treatment of these disorders.

Defective lipid droplet clearance and elevated lipid and crystal burden in lysosomes could adversely interact with myelin-debris degradation within lysosomes.
“Therefore, defective lipid droplet clearance and elevated lipid and crystal burden in lysosomes could adversely interact with myelin-debris degradation within lysosomes, although it remains plausible that peroxisomes affect degradation of endolysosomal cargo independent of lipid droplet clearing mechanisms, including via generation of radical nitrogen and oxygen species (3).”

The Discussion (page not available) reports that cholesterol accumulation impairs lysosomal fusion with endosomes and autophagosomes, supporting the possibility that excess lysosomal lipid can interfere with cargo processing. The paper does not address defective lipid-droplet clearance, crystals, or myelin-debris degradation specifically. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
