Photoreceptor phagosome processing defects and disturbed autophagy in retinal pigment epithelium ofCln3Δex1-6mice modelling juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Batten disease)

Abstract: Retinal degeneration and visual impairment are the first signs of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis caused by CLN3 mutations, followed by inevitable progression to blindness. We investigated retinal degeneration in Cln3Δex1-6 null mice, revealing classic ‘fingerprint’ lysosomal storage in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), replicating the human disease. The lysosomes contain mitochondrial F0-ATP synthase subunit c along with undigested membranes, indicating a reduced degradative capacity. Mature autop… Show more

“…The lack of an adequate phagocytosis function of the outer segments can lead to photoreceptor degeneration, as occurs with the MERTK mutation. The loss of phagosome activity, as described in MERTK, in the βA3/A1-crystallin gene, or in the CLN3 mutation among others, leads to the photoreceptors death or malfunction [49][50][51] . Disappearance of this 3 rd line has also been described after retinal detachment.…”
