Lysosomal dysfunction is considered pathogenic in Alzheimer disease (AD). Loss of presenilin-1 (PSEN1) function causing AD impedes acidification via defective vacuolar ATPase (vATPase) V0a1 subunit delivery to lysosomes. We report that isoproterenol (ISO) and related β2-adrenergic agonists reacidify lysosomes in PSEN1 Knock out (KO) cells and fibroblasts from PSEN1 familial AD patients, which restores lysosomal proteolysis, calcium homeostasis, and normal autophagy flux. We identify a novel rescue mechanism involving Portein Kinase A (PKA)-mediated facilitation of chloride channel-7 (ClC-7) delivery to lysosomes which reverses markedly lowered chloride (Cl-) content in PSEN1 KO lysosomes. Notably, PSEN1 loss of function impedes Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-to-lysosome delivery of ClC-7. Transcriptomics of PSEN1-deficient cells reveals strongly downregulated ER-to-lysosome transport pathways and reversibility by ISO, thus accounting for lysosomal Cl- deficits that compound pH elevation due to deficient vATPase and its rescue by β2-adrenergic agonists. Our findings uncover a broadened PSEN1 role in lysosomal ion homeostasis and novel pH modulation of lysosomes through β2-adrenergic regulation of ClC-7, which can potentially be modulated therapeutically.
