Overview of Gene Research
TMEM175, a transmembrane protein, is an ion channel in the lysosomal membrane [1]. It is crucial for maintaining lysosomal acidity, coordinating with V-ATPase to modulate the luminal pH of lysosomes, which is essential for the digestion of abnormal proteins and organelles [1]. Lysosomal function is closely related to multiple biological processes, and TMEM175 is associated with neurological disorders [1]. Genetic models are valuable for studying its function.
TMEM175 deficiency in a neuronal model system led to unstable lysosomal pH, decreased lysosomal catalytic and glucocerebrosidase activities, impaired autophagosome clearance, and decreased mitochondrial respiration [2]. In rat primary neurons, it increased susceptibility to exogenous α -synuclein fibrils, with more phosphorylated and detergent -insoluble α -synuclein deposits [2]. In a 1 -methyl -4 -phenyl -1,2,3,6 -tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD), knockout of TMEM175 mitigated motor impairment and dopaminergic neuron loss [4]. Also, in neonatal rats with hypoxic -ischemic brain injury, downregulation of TMEM175 impaired the autophagy -lysosome pathway, while overexpression mitigated neuronal injury and improved cognitive function [3].
In conclusion, TMEM175 is essential for maintaining lysosomal and mitochondrial function. Its knockout or down -regulation in relevant animal models reveals its significant role in neurological diseases, especially Parkinson's disease and neonatal hypoxic -ischemic brain injury. These findings suggest TMEM175 could be a potential therapeutic target for treating such diseases.
