Synthetic high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles for the treatment of Niemann–Pick diseases

BMC Medicine, 2019
Background Niemann–Pick disease type C is a fatal and progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in late endosomes and lysosomes.

Chitotriosidase activity as additional biomarker in the diagnosis of lysosomal storage diseases [PDF]

The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2016
To date, several genetic variants that lead to a deficiency of chitotriosidase activity have been described. The duplication of 24 bp (dup24bp) in exon 10 of the CHIT1 gene, which causes a complete loss of enzymatic activity of the gene product, is the ...

Lysosomal and Mitochondrial Liaisons in Niemann-Pick Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) are characterized by the accumulation of diverse lipid species in lysosomes. Niemann-Pick type A/B (NPA/B) and type C diseases Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) are progressive LSD caused by loss of function of distinct ...

Cyclodextrin triggers MCOLN1-dependent endo-lysosome secretion in Niemann-Pick type C cells[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
In specialized cell types, lysosome-related organelles support regulated secretory pathways, whereas in nonspecialized cells, lysosomes can undergo fusion with the plasma membrane in response to a transient rise in cytosolic calcium. Recent evidence also

Defective Autophagy, Mitochondrial Clearance and Lipophagy in Niemann-Pick Type B Lymphocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Niemann-Pick disease type A (NP-A) and type B (NP-B) are lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) caused by sphingomyelin accumulation in lysosomes relying on reduced or absent acid sphingomyelinase.

“Double Hit” Homozygous Mutations for Two Different Rare Inborn Errors of Metabolism: A Burden for Countries with High Prevalences of Consangineous Marriages

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018
Inborn errors of metabolism comprise a broad range of genetic diseases of which most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although being rare, there is a significant increase in their rate especially in countries where consanguineous marriages

The role of inborn errors of metabolism in the etiology of neonatal cholestasis: A single center experience

Trends in Pediatrics, 2023
Objective: The evaluation of patients with neonatal cholestasis is difficult due to the variety of cholestatic syndromes and non-specific clinical findings. It is important to recognize treatable diseases promptly.

Murine Models of Lysosomal Storage Diseases Exhibit Differences in Brain Protein Aggregation and Neuroinflammation

Biomedicines, 2021
Genetic, epidemiological and experimental evidence implicate lysosomal dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies. Investigate several mouse models of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) and evaluate pathologies reminiscent of ...
