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...

A novel MNT-1 cell line deficient in NPC1 protein was generated using CRISPR/CAS9 knock-out method. In the absence of the NPC1 protein the pigmentation status of the cells was changed and alterations in the melanogenesis process were observed. In order to characterize the role of NPC1 protein in the...

Purkinje cells (PC) of the cerebellum degenerate in adult mice with mutations in the Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease 1 (Npc1) gene. We subjected BALB/c Npc1+/+ and Npc1-/- mouse cerebella from an early and a later time point of PC degeneration to a genome-wide microarray gene expression analysis. ...

Niemann-Pick Type C disease is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with abnormal lipid storage as the major cellular pathologic hallmark. Genetic analyses have identified mutations in NPC1 gene in the great majority of cases, while mutations in NPC2 account for the remainders. Yet, lit...

We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the disease progression in the mutant mice compared to their control littermates. We collected liver tissue from 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, 9-, and 11-week-old Npc1+/+ and Npc1-/- mice (N=4), and some additional controls.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have so far mainly been used as cellular carriers for genes and therapeutic products, while their use in subcellular organelle isolation remains largely underexploited. We engineered surface functionalized SPIONs (Ø 10 nm) that target very distinc...

Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is a rare, genetic, lysosomal disorder with progressive neurodegeneration. Poor understanding of the pathophysiology and lack of blood-based diagnostic markers are major hurdles in the treatment and management of NPC and several additional neurological, lysosomal di...

Cholesterol import in mammalian cells is mediated by the LDL receptor pathway. Here, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR screen using an endogenous cholesterol reporter and identify >100 genes involved in LDL-cholesterol import. We characterise C18orf8 as a core subunit of the mammalian Mon1-Ccz1 guanid...

Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by autosomal recessive mutations in Npc1 which result in abnormal late endosomal/lysosomal lipid storage. Although microgliosis is one of the prominent pathological features, consequences of NPC1 loss on microglial ...

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...
