Disruption of Man-6-P-Dependent Sorting to Lysosomes Confers IGF1R-Mediated Apoptosis Resistance.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in GNPTAB underlie mucolipidosis II and mucolipidosis III α/β, which are inherited lysosomal storage disorders caused by a defective UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal-enzyme N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase. As a result, newly synthesized acid hydrolases fail to acquire Mannose-6-Phosphate (Man-6-P) sorting signals, or do so to a lesser extent, and exhibit an impaired trafficking to lysosomes. Interestingly, we found that GNPTAB knockout HeLa cells are resistant to several cytotoxic agents: doxorubicin, chloroquine, staurosporine and paclitaxel. While we detected an increased trapping of weak bases in the expanded lysosomal population of these cells, which could reduce the effect of doxorubicin and chloroquine; the decreased cell response to staurosporine and
