Impairment of the macroautophagy/autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) can lead to amyloid plaque accumulation in Alzheimer disease (AD); however, the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. This study revealed a mechanism of ALP impairment mediated by gain-of-function of lysosomal TPCN2/TPC2 (two pore segment channel 2) and suggests a molecular target for AD intervention. Using mutant PSEN1/PS1 (presenilin 1)-expressing human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and familial AD fibroblasts collected from human patients, we showed lysosomal pH was increased in AD cells due to exaggerated TPCN2-mediated calcium (Ca2+) release which increases lysosomal pH and compromises ALP degradation. Genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of the TPCN2 channel restored lysosomal Ca2+ homeostasis, acidity of the lysosome and ALP function. Furthermore, AD mice (5xFAD) that had received treatment with the TPCN2 inhibitor tetrandrine for 6 months or injection of AAV-shTpcn2 to knock down Tpcn2 showed reduction in amyloid plaques in cortical and hippocampal regions. These treatments also improved spine morphology and density and corrected cognitive deficits in 5xFAD mice assayed by immunohistochemistry, behavioral tests, and electrophysiological measurements, respectively. Taken together, these findings reveal a previously under-appreciated role of lysosomal TPCN2 in ALP impairment of AD. They also suggest targeting the lysosomal TPCN2 can serve as a therapeutic strategy for AD treatment in future drug development.
