The different types of OPTN related diseases and autophagy related mechanisms

Type of disease Diseases Mechanism Reference
Neurodegenerative diseases Glaucoma OPTNE50K disrupts the interaction with RAB8 and induces oxidative stress; OPTNE50K enhances the interaction with TBK1 but reduces autolysosomes; OPTNE50K disrupts the oligomeric state of OPTN [29,82,133,134]
ALS OPTNE478G disrupts the ubiquitin-binding function of OPTN and affects PRKN-mediated mitophagy [16]
PD Increased OPTN expression and colocalized puncta in PD-relevant brain regions with specific impairments of autophagy [135]
HD Impaired autophagic clearance of aggregates colocalized with OPTN [96,136–138]
NIID Unclear, abnormal accumulation of OPTN and its binding partner MYO6 in intranuclear inclusions of NIID [87,136]
Inflammatory diseases CD Clearance of intracellular bacteria by OPTN mediated xenophagy [95,96]
PDB There are several PDB genes (including OPTN) with functions related to the autophagic system [106]
RA OPTN is upregulated while the related autophagy mechanism is unclear [110]
OP optn deficiency caused inhibition of selectively degradation of FABP3 by autophagy [120]
ALF OPTN is upregulated accompanied with autophagy activation after APAP treatment [122]
Cancer Lung cancer HACE1-OPTN axis mediated autophagy [28]
Pancreatic cancer OPTN involved chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) [124]
Nephropathy DN OPTN mediated mitophagy [128,129]
AKI OPTN mediated mitophagy [130]

AKI: acute kidney injury; ALF: acute liver failure; ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; CD: Crohn disease; DN: diabetic nephropathy; HD: Huntington disease; NIID, neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease; OP: osteoporosis; PD: Parkinson disease; PDB: Paget disease of bone; RA: rheumatoid arthritis.
