Heterozygous mutations of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) represent the major genetic risk for Parkinson's disease (PD), while homozygous GBA1 mutations cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, which may involve severe neurodegeneration. We have previously demonstrated impaired autophagy and proteasomal degradation pathways and mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons from GBA1 knockout (gba1(-/-)) mice. We now show that stimulation with physiological glutamate concentrations causes pathological [Ca2+](c) responses and delayed calcium deregulation, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and an irreversible fall in the ATP/ADP ratio. Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was reduced in gba1(-/-) cells as was expression of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter. The rate of free radical generation was increased in gba1(-/-) neurons. Behavior of gba1(+/-) neurons was similar to gba1(-/-) in terms of all variables, consistent with a contribution of these mechanisms to the pathogenesis of PD. These data signpost reduced bioenergetic capacity and [Ca2+](c) dysregulation as mechanisms driving neurodegeneration.
