Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is commonly associated with duplication of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene. Mice expressing seven copies of the human PMP22, termed C22, suffer from a demyclinating neuropathy and display phenotypic traits of CMT1A. In this article, we investigate whether protein aggregates play a role in the CMT1A-like pathology of C22 mice. Utilizing biochemical and immunochemical tools, we found slowed turnover rate of the newly-synthesized PM P22 and the presence of cytoplasmic protein aggregates in affected nerves. The formation of these aggregates correlates with reduced proteasome activity and the accumulation of detergent-insoluble ubiquitinated substrates. A fraction of the aggregates associates with autophagosomes and lysosomes. Together, these data indicate that as a result of missorting and inefficient proteasomal degradation, the aggregation of PMP22 and recruitment of autophagosomes and lysosomes are key factors in the subcellular pathogenesis of CMT1A neuropathies.
