Lysosome‐Associated Membrane Protein 3 Induces Lysosome‐Dependent Cell Death by Impairing Autophagic Caspase 8 Degradation in the Salivary Glands of Individuals With Sjögren's Disease

Lysosome-associated membrane protein 3 (LAMP3) overexpression is implicated in the development and progression of Sjögren's disease (SjD) by inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and apoptotic cell death in salivary gland epithelium. The aim of this study was to clarify the molecular details of LAMP3-induced lysosome-dependent cell death and to test lysosomal biogenesis as a therapeutic intervention.
