Abstract:
In recent years, the interaction of intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and lysosomal functions has attracted increasing attention. Recent evidence suggests that mitochondrion-lysosomal contact plays a key role in regulating lysosomal biogenesis and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion will lead to corresponding changes in the autophagy flux in cardiomyocytes, and lysosomes are a key link in the process of autophagy, and the fusion of lysosomes and autophagosomes is an essential link in the occurrence of autophagy. Therefore, the function and homeostasis of lysosomes also undergo different changes during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Lysosomal-related biological factors and membrane proteins also play different roles. This article will review the mechanism of lysosomes in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and the research progress of lysosomal-related proteins.
