Summary: | Autophagy is a mechanism responsible for the degradation of cellular components to maintain their homeostasis. However, autophagy is commonly altered and compromised in several diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be considered a multifactorial disease because environmental factors, genetic factors, and aging are involved. Several genes are involved in PD pathology, among which the
LRRK2
gene and its mutations, inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, are responsible for most genetic PD cases. The R1441G
LRRK2
mutation is, after G2019S, the most important in PD pathogenesis. Our results demonstrate a relationship between the R1441G
LRRK2
mutation and a mechanistic dysregulation of autophagy that compromises cell viability. This altered autophagy mechanism is associated with organellar stress including mitochondrial (which induces mitophagy) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, consistent with the fact that patients with this mutation are more vulnerable to toxins related to PD, such as MPP
