Proteostasis plays an important role in demyelinating Charcot Marie Tooth disease.
Biochemical Pharmacology 2023 August 20
Type 1 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1) is the most common demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. Patients suffer from progressive muscle weakness and sensory problems. The underlying disease mechanisms of CMT1 are still unclear and no therapy is currently available, hence patients completely rely on supportive care. Balancing protein levels is a complex multistep process fundamental to maintain cells in their healthy state and a disrupted proteostasis is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases. When protein misfolding occurs, protein quality control systems are activated such as chaperones, the lysosomal-autophagy system and proteasomal degradation to ensure proper degradation. However, in pathological circumstances, these mechanisms are overloaded and thereby become inefficient to clear the load of misfolded proteins. Recent evidence strongly indicates that a disbalance in proteostasis plays an important role in several forms of CMT1. In this review, we present an overview of the protein quality control systems, their role in CMT1, and potential treatment strategies to restore proteostasis.
