Primary skin fibroblasts from four Niemann-Pick type C patients homozygous for the I1061T mutation and four control individuals were cultured under identical conditions in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were harvested at 50-70% confluency. mRNA was isolated with the FastTrack 2....

Cholesterol and phosphoinositides (PI) are two critically important lipids that are found in cellular membranes and dysregulated in many disorders. Therefore, uncovering molecular pathways connecting these essential lipids may offer new therapeutic insights. We report that loss of function of lysoso...

Macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha/CCL3 protein is a known pro-inflammatory cytokine that can mediate chemotaxis of monocytes and promote cell degranulation. Ccl3 gene expression is elevated in the CNS and visceral tissue of many lysosomal storage disorders. The deletion of Ccl3 in a mouse model...

The endocannabinoid system is considered to be an endogenous protective system in various neurodegenerative diseases. Niemann-Pick Type C is a neurodegenerative disease in which the role of the endocannabinoid system has not been studied yet. Here, we report the endocannabinoid hydrolase activity in...

A significant area of rare diseases research is the investigation of druggable protein encoding genes that contribute to pathogenesis. Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease can be considered as a challenging one, among all rare diseases, because it has been associated with a poor prognosis and an unclea...

Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in the late endosomal/lysosomal compartments. Mutations in the NPC1 protein are implicated in 95% of patients with NPC disease. The most prevalent mutation is the mis...

Increasing evidence implicates lysosomal dysfunction in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including the rare inherited lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) and the most common neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (AD and PD). The goal of this work was t...
