Overview of Gene Research
Lamp2, short for lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2, is a well-recognized mediator of autolysosome maturation. It is involved in the autophagy-lysosomal protein degradation pathway, which is crucial for various biological processes. Mutations in the Lamp2 gene are associated with Danon disease, a rare X-linked dominant multisystemic disorder [2,5,6].
Genetic inactivation of Lamp2 in thymic stromal cells specifically impairs the development of CD4 T cells that have completed positive selection. This is due to defects in autophagy in Lamp2-deficient cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs), which are linked to alterations in MHC II processing and a reduction in CD4 TCR repertoire diversity [1].
In a LAMP2 knockdown cell model, LAMP2 deficiency led to a reduction of viral DNA replication and formation of infectious particles, and attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation and inhibition of Aβ secretion induced by HSV-1, suggesting its role in neurodegeneration-related processes [3].
In MDS/AML, LAMP2 deficiency is responsible for azacytidine resistance and hypersensitivity to lysosome and autophagy inhibitors, and low levels of LAMP2 expression in CD34 + blasts from patients correlate with poor overall survival [4].
In summary, Lamp2 plays essential roles in autophagy, T-cell development, neurodegeneration-related processes, and response to certain drugs in MDS/AML. Studies using gene knockout or knockdown models have been crucial in revealing these functions, especially in relation to Danon disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and hematological malignancies.
