11. AAV9-mediated NPC1 delivery significantly promoted Purkinje cell survival, restored locomotor activity and coordination, and increased the lifespan of NPC1(-/-) mice. Our work suggests that AAV-based gene therapy is a promising means to treat NPC disease.

12. Here, we identify lamellar inclusions as the subcellular site of lipid accumulation in neurons, we uncover a vicious cycle of cholesterol synthesis and accretion, which may cause gradual neurodegeneration, and we reveal how beta-cyclodextrin, a potential therapeutic drug, reverts these changes. Our study provides new mechanistic insight in NPC disease and uncovers new targets for therapeutic approaches.

13. Male NPC1+/- mice had increased fat storage while eating a high-fat diet.

14. Our data show that: i) HDAC2 levels and activity are increased in NPC neuronal models and in Npc1(-/-) mice; ii) inhibition of c-Abl or c-Abl deficiency prevents the increase of HDAC2 protein levels and activity in NPC neuronal models

15. activation of the alternative pathway is involved in Niemann-Pick C1 associated pulmonary macrophage accumulation, with low proliferation of these cells balanced by low levels of apoptosis.

16. This study showed that deleting the Npc1 gene is accompanied by an increase in germ cell apoptosis and compensatory imbalances in the expression of cholesterol enzymatic and transporter factors.

17. These results show that NPC1 is critical for ebolavirus replication and pathogenesis in animals.

18. abnormal neuronal expression of matrix metalloproteinase-12 may contribute to axonal degeneration in Niemann-Pick type C disease

19. There was a transient increase in biliary cholesterol concentration in Npc1(-/-) mice.

20. data suggest that aberrant expression of Pcdhs is a pathological process accompanied by neurodegeneration in Npc1 mutant mice

Human Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C1 (NPC1) interaction partners

1. Human NPC1 SNPs may likely affect host susceptibility to filoviruses.

2. Niemann-Pick C1 protein (NPC1) gene expression showed positive significant correlation with interleukin 10 (IL-10) serum concentration.

3. In contrast to the benign Q92S mutation, Q92R significantly reduces electrostatic potential around S-opening, and thus likely affects NPC1 (NTD)-NPC2 interaction and/or cholesterol transfer from NPC2 to NPC1.

4. Mutation in the NPC1 gene is associated with Niemann-Pick type C1 disease.

5. We identified CD22 as a marker of dysregulated microglia in Npc1 mutant mice and subsequently demonstrated that elevated cerebrospinal fluid levels of CD22 in NPC1 patients responds to HPbetaCD administration. Collectively, these data provide the first in-depth analysis of microglia function in NPC1 and suggest possible new therapeutic approaches.

6. these findings confirm the utility of high-content image-based compound screens of NPC1 patient cells and support extending the approach into larger compound collections.

7. We also identified LNA ASOs targeting human host factor NPC1 and demonstrated reduced infection by chimeric vesicular stomatitis virus harboring the Ebola glycoprotein, which directly binds to NPC1 for viral infection.

8. mutant NPC1 degradation is regulated by selective endoplasmic reticulum autophagy and MARCH6-dependent endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation

9. NPC1 gene variations may predispose to common metabolic diseases by modulating steroid hormone synthesis and/or lipid homeostasis.

10. Results propose that, depending on the location of the cholesterol ligand, a dynamical interface between the NPC2 and NPC1 N-terminal domain (NTD) proteins exists. Structural features of a particular interface can lower the energy barrier and stabilize the passage of the cholesterol substrate from NPC2 to NPC1(NTD).

11. These data support the hypothesis that cholesterol is transported through interactions between two or more NPC1 molecules.

16. Docking of the NPC1-NPC2 complex onto the full-length NPC1 structure reveals a direct cholesterol transfer tunnel between NPC2 and N-terminal domain cholesterol binding pockets, supporting the "hydrophobic hand-off" cholesterol transfer model.

17. Taken together, these studies suggest that Ebola virus requires phosphatidylinositol (3,5) bisphosphate production in cells to promote efficient delivery to NPC1.

Here we report a crystal structure of a large fragment of human NPC1 at 3.6 A resolution, which reveals internal twofold pseudosymmetry along TM 2-13 and two structurally homologous domains that protrude 60 A into the endosomal lumen, and we propose a model for NPC1 function in cholesterol sensing and transport.
