Different Types of LMP Inducers and Their Mechanisms of Action

LMP Inducer Mechanism of Action and Examples Reference
ROS The chemical modification of lipids in lysosomal membrane. The different examples include H2O2, redox cycling quinones, napthazarine, fenretinide, etc. [77]
Lysosomotropic agents Detergent-like effects lead to LMP. The examples include hydroxychloroquine, sphingosine, LCL204, MDL-72, N-dodecyl-imidazole, BPC, 3-aminopropanol, etc. [78]
The proper mechanism is poorly understood and the examples include some detergents like siramesine and MSDH [73]
The mechanism is not fully understood and the examples include antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin [79]
Lipids The mechanism is poorly understood and the different examples include cholesterol oxidation products, bile salts, fatty acids, palmitate, etc. [80]
Bcl-2 family proteins This leads to the formation of lysosomal membrane proteaceous pores and the example includes Bax [81]
Caspases Indirect effects and direct lysosome protein digestion and the examples include Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 [82]
Cathepsins Lysosome protein digestion and the examples include cathepsin B [83]
Microtubule toxins The mechanism of action is not known yet and the examples include epothilone B, vinorelbine, vincristine, paclitaxel, vinblastine, etc. [84]
Photodamage It damages lysosomal membrane and the examples include ATXs10 and NPe6 [85]
Polyphenols The mechanism of action is not known yet and the examples are resveratrol [86]
Receptors The mechanism of action not yet known and the examples include TNF-α, TRAIL, CD3, and PHA [87]
Lysosomal proteins It leads to the formation of pores and the examples include LAPF [88]
DNA damage The mechanism of action not yet discovered and the examples include camptothecin, p53, and etoposide [89]
Silica The mechanism of action is unknown and the examples are ROS [90]
Toxins The toxins directly affect lysosomal membranes and the examples are crotoxin, yesotoxin, and the cobra venom [91]
