A 5-month-old Hereford calf with neurologic disease was euthanatized, and a necropsy was done. No gross lesions were seen in the brain. Microscopically, neurons throughout the brain and spinal cord had distended, foamy vacuolated cytoplasm. Ultrastructure showed clear vacuoles filling the neuronal cytoplasm. A lysosomal storage disease was suspected. Sphingomyelinase deficiency was confirmed by...
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NP-C) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, which is biochemically distinguished by the lysosomal accumulation of exogenously derived cholesterol. Mutation of either the hNPC1 or hNPC2 gene is causative for NP-C. We report the identification of the yeast homologue of human NPC2, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Npc2p. We demonstrate that scNpc2p is evolutionarily related to...
Different primary lysosomal trafficking defects lead to common alterations in lipid trafficking, suggesting cooperative interactions among lysosomal lipids. However, cellular analysis of the functional consequences of this phenomenon is lacking. As a test case, we studied cells with defective Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein, a cholesterol trafficking protein whose defect gives rise to lysosomal ...
The lipid changes in the inheritable foam cell reticulosis of mice discovered by Lyons, Hulse, and Rowe have been reexamined. The major abnormality in thymuses from homozygous-abnormal animals has been identified as an increase in the concentration (per milligram of protein) of sphingomyelin and cholesterol. This increase is associated with normal sphingomyelin-cleaving activity. The lipid comp...
People homozygous for mutations in the Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) gene have physiological defects, including excess accumulation of intracellular cholesterol and other lipids, that lead to drastic neural and liver degeneration. The NPC1 multipass transmembrane protein is resident in late endosomes and lysosomes, but its functions are unknown. We find that organelles containing functional NPC1-...
Reduced astrocytic gap junctional communication and enhanced hemichannel activity were recently shown to increase astroglial and neuronal vulnerability to neuroinflammation. Moreover, increasing evidence suggests that neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the development of Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, an autosomal lethal neurodegenerative disorder that is mainly caused by mutations i...
Lysosomal sequestration of endocytosed LDL-derived cholesterol, premature and abnormal enrichment of cholesterol in trans Golgi cisternae and accompanying anomalies in intracellular sterol trafficking are the hallmark phenotypic features of the Niemann-Pick C (NPC) lesion. A variable severity of these alterations has been observed, with only partial correlation between clinical and biochemical ...
