Provided are assays useful for detecting and monitoring autophagy and phospholipidosis, including the progression of lysosomal storage diseases. Drugs and treatments for lysosomal storage diseases can be monitored for effectiveness in lysosomal storage disease conditions. Drug candidates and suspected toxic agents can also be screened for toxicity to cells, tissues and organs. Also provided are methods for distinguishing between phospholipidosis activators and autophagy pathway perturbation agents.
提供了用于检测和监测自噬和
磷脂质沉积病的试验,包括溶酶体贮积病的进展。药物和治疗方法可以监测在溶酶体贮积病条件下的有效性。药物候选和疑似有毒物质也可以筛选对细胞、组织和器官的毒性。还提供了区分
磷脂质沉积激活剂和自噬通路干扰剂的方法。
