Loss of Cln3 function in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum causes pleiotropic effects that are rescued by human CLN3.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited, severe neurodegenerative disorders also known as Batten disease. Juvenile NCL (JNCL) is caused by recessive loss-of-function mutations in CLN3, which encodes a transmembrane protein that ...

Lamotrigine Therapy in Neuronal Lipofuscinosis

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 1999
Lamotrigine (LTG) long-term anticonvulsant therapy was evaluated in 29 patients, aged 6-28 years (mean, 14 years), with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL), followed for 1-6 years (mean, 3 years) at the Hospital for Children and Adolescents ...

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis—Concepts, Classification, and Avenues for Therapy

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
This review comprehensively examined the pathogenic genes associated with various NCL subtypes, elucidating their roles, clinical presentations, corresponding mouse models, and the advances in clinical study of potential therapeutics. In particular, we clarified the potential of novel microglial cell replacement therapies in NCLs, providing hope for ...

Age-dependent alterations in neuronal activity in the hippocampus and visual cortex in a mouse model of Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CLN3)

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2017
Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a fatal lysosomal storage disease caused by autosomal recessive mutations in CLN3. JNCL is typified by progressive neurodegeneration that has been suggested to occur from excessive excitatory and impaired

FRET-assisted determination of CLN3 membrane topology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene, which encodes for a putative lysosomal transmembrane protein with thus far undescribed structure and function. Here we investigate the membrane topology of human CLN3

PIEZO1 is essential for the survival and proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 2, January 2024.
Abstract Introduction Leukemogenesis is a complex process that interconnects tumoral cells with their microenvironment, but the effect of mechanosensing in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts is poorly known. PIEZO1 perceives and transmits the constraints of the environment to human cells by acting as a non‐selective calcium channel, but very little is

Immunomodulation with minocycline rescues retinal degeneration in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis mice highly susceptible to light damage

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2018
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (jNCL) is a rare but fatal inherited lysosomal storage disorder mainly affecting children. The disease is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene that lead to the accumulation of storage material in many tissues ...

Synapse alterations precede neuronal damage and storage pathology in a human cerebral organoid model of CLN3-juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2019
The juvenile form of neuronal ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is the most common form within this group of rare lysosomal storage disorders, causing pediatric neurodegeneration. The genetic disorder, which is caused by recessive mutations affecting the CLN3
