Increased zinc and manganese in parallel with neurodegeneration, synaptic protein changes and activation of Akt/GSK3 signaling in ovine CLN6 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mutations in the CLN6 gene cause a variant late infantile form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL; Batten disease). CLN6 loss leads to disease clinically characterized by vision impairment, motor and cognitive dysfunction, and seizures.

Single-cell and machine learning integration reveals ferroptosis-driven immune landscapes for melanoma stratification [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundFerroptosis, a regulated form of cell death, has emerged as a critical modulator of melanoma's tumor progression and immune evasion. However, its integration with the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) and clinical prognostication remains ...

Gene expression profiling in vLINCL CLN6-deficient fibroblasts: Insights into pathobiology

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2006
The CLN6 vLINCL is caused by molecular defects in CLN6 gene coding for an ER resident transmembrane protein whose function is unknown. In the present study gene expression profiling of CLN6-deficient fibroblasts using cDNA microarray was undertaken in order to provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying this neurodegenerative fatal ...

Kufs Disease, the Major Adult Form of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Caused by Mutations in CLN6 [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2011
The molecular basis of Kufs disease is unknown, whereas a series of genes accounting for most of the childhood-onset forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) have been identified. Diagnosis of Kufs disease is difficult because the characteristic lipopigment is largely confined to neurons and can require a brain biopsy or autopsy for final ...

Gene Therapy Corrects Brain and Behavioral Pathologies in CLN6-Batten Disease [PDF]

Molecular Therapy, 2019
CLN6-Batten disease, a form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder presenting with gradual declines in motor, visual, and cognitive abilities and early death by 12-15 years of age. We developed a self-complementary adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (scAAV9) vector expressing the human CLN6 gene under the control of a ...

Intracranial delivery of AAV9 gene therapy partially prevents retinal degeneration and visual deficits in CLN6-Batten disease mice

Molecular Therapy - Methods and Clinical Development, 2021
Batten disease is a family of rare, fatal, neuropediatric diseases presenting with memory/learning decline, blindness, and loss of motor function. Recently, we reported the use of an AAV9-mediated gene therapy that prevents disease progression in a mouse

Generierung monoklonaler Antikörper gegen das Protein CLN6 [PDF]

, 2017
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses NCL /CLN are neurodegenerative hereditary disorders of children and adolescents caused by mutations in CLN proteins. The functions of most CLN proteins are unknown. The ER membrane protein CLN6 has been identified as a cause of juvenile NCL and its involvement in growth processes in the Dorsal Root Ganglion, and a ...

Characterisation of early changes in ovine CLN5 and CLN6 Batten disease neural cultures for the rapid screening of therapeutics

Neurobiology of Disease, 2017
Batten disease (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) refers to a group of neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases predominantly affecting children. There are currently no effective treatments, and the functions of many of the associated gene products are

Transmembrane Batten Disease Proteins Interact With a Shared Network of Vesicle Sorting Proteins, Impacting Their Synaptic Enrichment [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Batten disease is unique among lysosomal storage disorders for the early and profound manifestation in the central nervous system, but little is known regarding potential neuron-specific roles for the disease-associated proteins.

Identification of a novel mutation of rare CLN6 case and computation protein structure

European Journal of Biological Research, 2023
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), also known as Batten disease, jointly account for the highest incidences of hereditary neurodegenerative disease in childhood.
