Özet:
Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disorder that mainly affects the central nervous system. It is caused by mutations on the HEXA gene encoding α-subunit of β-Hexosaminidase A enzyme. The enzyme normally catalyses GM2 to GM3 conversion but when it is absent or dysfunctional the GM2 degradation is interrupted. Progressive accumulation of the undegraded GM2 ganglioside in neurons causes neurodegeneration and eventual death for the patient. The Hexa-/- mice generated as Tay-Sachs model was nearly normal and a bypass mechanism mediated by a sialidase was discovered. Neu3 sialidase involvement in ganglioside degradation in the Tay-Sachs disease pathology was reported and the Hexa-/-Neu3-/- mice was observed to mimic the neuropathologic and clinical phenotype of the disease. Therefore, it can be used as early-onset-Tay-Sachs disease mouse model. Lysosomal storage diseases have been reported as disorders of autophagy as the lysosomal accumulation expected to affects the autophagical-lysosomal pathway in one way or another. In the concept of our study comparative analysis of WT, Hexa -/- ,Neu3 -/- and Hexa -/- Neu3 -/- mice provided the information that early-onset Tay-Sachs disease model exhibit impairment in autophagic flux and secondary accumulation of autophagic components. The effect of abnormal GM2 and this secondary accumulation on apoptotic regulators and trigger factors were also investigated. In the light of our study, impairment in autophagic flux, increased oxidative stress and ER-stress are involved in the disease pathology of early-onset Tay-Sachs disease mouse model.
