Changes to cholesterol trafficking in macrophages by Leishmania parasites infection [PDF]

, 2017
Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites that are transmitted by sandfly vectors during blood sucking to vertebrate hosts and cause a spectrum of diseases called leishmaniases.

Endolysosomal cholesterol export: More than just NPC1

BioEssays, 2022
AbstractNPC1 plays a central role in cholesterol egress from endolysosomes, a critical step for maintaining intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Despite recent advances in the field, the full repertoire of molecules and pathways involved in this process remains unknown. Emerging evidence suggests the existence of NPC1‐independent, alternative routes.

Selective Degradation Permits a Feedback Loop Controlling Annexin A6 and Cholesterol Levels in Endolysosomes of NPC1 Mutant Cells

Cells, 2020
We recently identified elevated annexin A6 (AnxA6) protein levels in Niemann–Pick-type C1 (NPC1) mutant cells. In these cells, AnxA6 depletion rescued the cholesterol accumulation associated with NPC1 deficiency.

Filovirus receptor NPC1 contributes to species-specific patterns of ebolavirus susceptibility in bats [PDF]

, 2015
Biological factors that influence the host range and spillover of Ebola virus (EBOV) and other filoviruses remain enigmatic. While filoviruses infect diverse mammalian cell lines, we report that cells from African straw-colored fruit bats (Eidolon helvum)

Activation of PKC triggers rescue of NPC1 patient specific iPSC derived glial cells from gliosis

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2017
Background Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC1) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. The pathological mechanisms, underlying NPC1 are not yet completely understood.

Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle [PDF]

, 2018
peer-reviewedThe genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver ...

Impact of Reduced Cerebellar EAAT Expression on Purkinje Cell Firing Pattern of NPC1-deficient Mice

Scientific Reports, 2018
Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC1) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disease. NPC1-patients suffer, amongst others, from ataxia, based on a loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs). Impaired expression/function of excitatory amino acid transporters (

The Effects of Combined Therapy With Metformin and Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin in a Mouse Model of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Niemann–Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by lysosomal storage of free cholesterol. 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide derivative that is being developed to treat NPC1.

Alterations of intestinal lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with abnormal postprandial lipoprotein metabolism, with a significant delay in the clearance of many lipid parameters, including triglycerides and chylomicrons.

NPC1 Confers Metabolic Flexibility in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Cancers, 2022
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) often undergoes at least partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to facilitate metastasis. Identifying EMT-associated characteristics can reveal novel dependencies that may serve as therapeutic vulnerabilities in this aggressive breast cancer subtype.
