Abstract

Two-pore channels (TPCs) are endo-lysosomal ion channels implicated in Ca2+ signalling from acidic organelles. The relevance of these ubiquitous proteins for human disease however is unclear. Here we report that lysosomes are enlarged and aggregated in fibroblasts from Parkinson disease patients with the common G2019S mutation in LRRK2. Defects were corrected by molecular silencing of TPC2, pharmacological inhibition of TPC regulators (Rab7, NAADP, PI(3,5)P2) and buffering local Ca2+ increases. NAADP-evoked Ca2+ signals were exaggerated in diseased cells. TPC2 is thus a potential druggable target within a pathogenic LRRK2 cascade that disrupts Ca2+-dependent trafficking in Parkinson disease.
