Lysosomal Exocytosis in MPS IVA Cartilage Pathology
2026-09-28
A zebrafish model of mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA links enhanced lysosomal exocytosis with reduced cathepsin activity, weaker TGFβ and BMP signaling, and altered glycosaminoglycan abundance in developing cartilage. The findings extend disease mechanisms beyond substrate storage, while leaving open whether exocytosis is a cause, consequence, or amplifier of cartilage pathology.
