Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of 70 inherited metabolic disorders.
  • These conditions result from mutations in lysosomal proteins, leading to cellular accumulation of storage materials.
  • LSDs often cause multi-organ pathologies, neurodegeneration, and premature death, highlighting the need for better therapies and understanding of disease origins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of non-mammalian models for studying LSDs.
  • To focus on zebrafish as a vertebrate model organism for LSD research.
  • To explore how zebrafish models can advance the understanding of LSD etiology and identify novel therapeutic targets.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on zebrafish models of LSDs.
  • Analysis of reported phenotypes in zebrafish LSD models.
  • Discussion of the advantages and limitations of using zebrafish in LSD research.
  • Exploration of technological innovations relevant to zebrafish-based LSD studies.

Main Results:

  • Zebrafish exhibit significant genetic and metabolic similarities to mammals, making them suitable for modeling human diseases.
  • The optical transparency and high-throughput capabilities of zebrafish offer unique advantages for studying LSDs.
  • Various zebrafish LSD models have been developed, exhibiting relevant phenotypes.

Conclusions:

  • Zebrafish represent a powerful and versatile model organism for investigating the complex mechanisms of LSDs.
  • Further technological advancements can enhance the application of zebrafish models in discovering novel pathways and therapeutic strategies for LSDs.
  • Non-mammalian models, particularly zebrafish, are crucial for advancing LSD research beyond traditional approaches.
