| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have examined the events of autophagy by starvation, adding L-leucine and Spin1 expressing cells in a Schwann cell line (573C10), derived from a model mouse of Niemann-Pick disease type C. We detected an increase of LC3-II and accumulation of p62 in 573C10 cells, in which enlarged lysosome was increased upon serum starvation. Electron microscopic observations revealed that 573C10 cells contain enlarged lysosomes with large vacuoles, which are accompanied by lamellar inclusions composed of aggregated membrane vesicles. We observed that addition of L-leucine or expressing Spin1 ameliorated the enlargement of lysosomes and the p62 accumulation. Then we found the common mechanism for amelioration of defective autophagy, between L-leucine and Spin1.
