The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are severe inherited neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. In this disease, lysosomes accumulate autofluorescent storage material and there is death of neurons. Five types of NCL are caused by mutations in lysosomal proteins (CTSD, CLN1/PPT1, CLN2/TTPI, CLN3 and CLN5), and one type is caused by mutations in a protein that recycles between the ER and ERGIC (CLN8). The CLN6 gene underlying a variant of late infantile NCL (vLINCL) was recently identified. It encodes a novel 311 amino acid transmembrane protein. Antisera raised against CLN6 peptides detected a protein of 30 kDa by Western blotting of human cells, which was missing in cells from some CLN6 deficient patients. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, CLN6 was shown to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). CLN6 protein tagged with GFP at the C-terminus and expressed in HEK293 cells was also found within the ER. Investigation of the effect of five CLN6 disease mutations that affect single amino acids showed that the mutant proteins were retained in the ER. These data suggest that CLN6 is an ER resident protein, the activity of which, despite this location, must contribute to lysosomal function. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL, Batten disease) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases. Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL, infantile Batten disease, or infantile CLN1 disease) is caused by a deficiency in the soluble lysosomal enzyme palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1) and has the earliest onset and fastest progression of all the NCLs. Several therapeutic strategies including enzyme replacement, gene therapy, stem cell-mediated therapy, and small molecule drugs have resulted in minimal to modest improvements in the murine model of PPT1-deficiency. However, more recent studies using various combinations of these approaches have shown more promising results; in some instances more than doubling the lifespan of PPT1-deficient mice. These combination therapies that target different pathogenic mechanisms may offer the hope of treating this profoundly neurodegenerative disorder. Similar approaches may be useful when treating other forms of NCL caused by deficiencies in soluble lysosomal proteins. Different therapeutic targets will need to be identified and novel strategies developed in order to effectively treat forms of NCL caused by deficiencies in integral membrane proteins such as juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Finally, the challenge with all of the NCLs will lie in early diagnosis, improving the efficacy of the treatments, and effectively translating them into the clinic. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses or Batten Disease. 相似文献

Human neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of genetic neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive death of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) and accumulation of abnormal lysosomal storage material. Infantile NCL (INCL), the most severe form of NCL, is caused by mutations in the Ppt1 gene, which encodes the lysosomal enzyme palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (Ppt1). We generated mutations in the Ppt1 ortholog of Drosophila melanogaster to characterize phenotypes caused by Ppt1 deficiency in flies. Ppt1-deficient flies accumulate abnormal autofluorescent storage material predominantly in the adult CNS and have a life span 30% shorter than wild type, phenotypes that generally recapitulate disease-associated phenotypes common to all forms of NCL. In contrast, some phenotypes of Ppt1-deficient flies differed from those observed in human INCL. Storage material in flies appeared as highly laminar spherical deposits in cells of the brain and as curvilinear profiles in cells of the thoracic ganglion. This contrasts with the granular deposits characteristic of human INCL. In addition, the reduced life span of Ppt1-deficient flies is not caused by progressive death of CNS neurons. No changes in brain morphology or increases in apoptotic cell death of CNS neurons were detected in Ppt1-deficient flies, even at advanced ages. Thus, Ppt1-deficient flies accumulate abnormal storage material and have a shortened life span without evidence of concomitant neurodegeneration. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses: from past to present 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are inherited lysosomal storage diseases and constitute the most common group of children's progressive encephalopathies. Most childhood forms of NCL are clinically characterized by progressive loss of vision as well as mental and motor deterioration, epileptic seizures, and premature death, while the rare adult forms are dominated by dementia. All forms of NCL share common pathomorphological features. Autofluorescent, periodic acid-Schiff- and Sudan black B-positive granules, resistant to lipid solvents, accumulate in the cytoplasm of most nerve cells, and there is progressive and remarkably selective neuronal degeneration and loss. For a long time, the NCLs were grouped under the heading of the "amaurotic family idiocies" and conceived as lipidoses. However, in the late 1980s and 1990s the NCL storage cytosomes were shown to consist largely of two hydrophobic proteins: either subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase or sphingolipid activator proteins A and D. Since 1995 numerous mutations in at least seven different genes have been shown to underlie the multiple human and animal forms of NCL. This review discusses the historical evolution of the NCL concept and the impact of the recent biochemical and molecular genetic findings on our views on the classification and pathogenesis of these devastating brain disorders. 相似文献

Two lysosomal storage diseases are now known to result from impaired transport of small molecules across the lysosomal membrane. In cystinosis, the disulfide amino acid, cystine, accumulates and in free sialic acid storage disorders, N-acetylneuraminic acid is stored. The lysosomal cystine carrier exhibits saturability, counter-transport, temperature dependence, and stereospecificity; it is highly specific for molecules resembling cystine. Less is known about sialic acid transport, but its temperature dependence and deficiency in certain autosomal-recessive human mutations strongly suggests that it is a carrier-mediated process. Cystine and sialic acid serve as prototypes for amino acids and sugars transported by specific lysosomal membrane carriers, whose impairment results in lysosomal storage disorders. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, also known collectively as Batten disease) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material in the brain and other tissues. A number of genes underlying various forms of NCL have been cloned, but the basis for the neurodegeneration in any of these is unknown. High levels of dolichol pyrophosphoryl oligosaccharides have previously been demonstrated in brain tissue from several NCL patients, but the specificity of the effect for the NCLs has been unclear. In the present study, we examine eight mouse models of lysosomal storage disorders by modern FACE and found striking lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) accumulation in NCL mouse models (especially CLN1, CLN6, and CLN8 knockout or mutant mice) but not in several other lysosomal storage disorders affecting the brain. Using a mouse model of the most severe form of NCL (the PPT1 knockout mouse), we show that accumulated LLOs are not the result of a defect in LLO synthesis, extension, or transfer but rather are catabolic intermediates derived from LLO degradation. LLOs are enriched about 60-fold in the autofluorescent storage material purified from PPT1 knockoutmouse brain but comprise only 0.3% of the autofluorescent storage material by mass. The accumulation of LLOs is postulated to result from inhibition of late stages of lysosomal degradation of autophagosomes, which may be enriched in these metabolic precursors. 相似文献

Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids in the endolysosomal system. NPC disease results from a defect in either of two distinct cholesterol-binding proteins: a transmembrane protein, NPC1, and a small soluble protein, NPC2. NPC1 and NPC2 are thought to function closely in the export of lysosomal cholesterol with both proteins binding cholesterol in vitro but they may have unrelated lysosomal roles. To investigate this possibility, we compared biochemical consequences of the loss of either protein. Analyses of lysosome-enriched subcellular fractions from brain and liver revealed similar decreases in buoyant densities of lysosomes from NPC1 or NPC2 deficient mice compared to controls. The subcellular distribution of both proteins was similar and paralleled a lysosomal marker. In liver, absence of either NPC1 or NPC2 resulted in similar alterations in the carbohydrate processing of the lysosomal protease, tripeptidyl peptidase I. These results highlight biochemical alterations in the lysosomal system of the NPC-mutant mice that appear secondary to lipid storage. In addition, the similarity in biochemical phenotypes resulting from either NPC1 or NPC2 deficiency supports models in which the function of these two proteins within lysosomes are linked closely. 相似文献

Glycoproteinoses belong to the lysosomal storage disorders group. The common feature of these diseases is the deficiency of a lysosomal protein that is part of glycan catabolism. Most of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of glycoprotein carbohydrate chains are exo-glycosidases, which stepwise remove terminal monosaccharides. Thus, the deficiency of a single enzyme causes the blockage of the entire pathway and induces a storage of incompletely degraded substances inside the lysosome. Different mutations may be observed in a single disease and in all cases account for the nonexpression of lysosomal glycosidase activity. Different clinical phenotypes generally characterize a specific disorder, which rather must be described as a continuum in severity, suggesting that other biochemical or environmental factors influence the course of the disease. This review provides details on clinical features, genotype-phenotype correlations, enzymology and biochemical storage of four human glycoprotein lysosomal storage disorders, respectively alpha- and beta-mannosidosis, fucosidosis and alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency. Moreover, several animal disorders of glycoprotein metabolism have been found and constitute valuable models for the understanding of their human counterparts. 相似文献

This paper gives an overview of the two sialic acid storage disorders, Salla disease and infantile sialic acid storage disease, and the related disorders cystinosis, sialuria, sialidosis, and galactosialidosis. Sialic acid storage disease and cystinosis are models for a deficient lysosomal transport of monosaccharides and amino acids, respectively. Several gene mutations leading to the production of the faulty membrane proteins sialin and cystinosin have been identified in recent years. Knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology is a prerequisite for future research projects, which will focus on the expression of the disease genes in living systems and the physical characterization of these proteins by X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 相似文献

Loss of the Batten disease gene CLN3 prevents exit from the TGN of the mannose 6-phosphate receptor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Metcalf DJ Calvi AA Seaman MNj Mitchison HM Cutler DF 《Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark)》2008,9(11):1905-1914
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of inherited childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of undigested material within cells. To understand this dysfunction, we analysed trafficking of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), which delivers the digestive enzymes to lysosomes. A common form of NCL is caused by mutations in CLN3, a multipass transmembrane protein of unknown function. We report that ablation of CLN3 causes accumulation of CI-MPR in the trans Golgi network, reflecting a 50% reduction in exit. This CI-MPR trafficking defect is accompanied by a fall in maturation and cellular activity of lysosomal cathepsins. CLN3 is therefore essential for trafficking along the route needed for delivery of lysosomal enzymes, and its loss thereby contributes to and may explain the lysosomal dysfunction underlying Batten disease. 相似文献

Infantile and juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) are progressive neurodegenerative disorders of childhood with distinct ages of clinical onset, but with a similar pathological outcome. Infantile and juvenile NCL are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner due to mutations in the CLN1 and CLN3 genes, respectively. Recently developed Cln1- and Cln3-knockout mouse models share similarities in pathology with the respective human disease. Using oligonucleotide arrays we identified reproducible changes in gene expression in the brains of both 10-week-old Cln1- and Cln3-knockout mice as compared to wild-type controls, and confirmed changes in levels of several of the cognate proteins by immunoblotting. Despite the similarities in pathology, the two mutations affect the expression of different, non-overlapping sets of genes. The possible significance of these changes and the pathological mechanisms underlying NCL diseases are discussed. 相似文献

Lysosomal storage disorders represent a group of over 45 distinct genetic diseases, each one resulting from a deficiency of a particular lysosomal protein or, in a few cases, from non-lysosomal proteins that are involved in lysosomal biogenesis. A common biochemical feature of this group of disorders is the accumulation within lysosomes of undegraded or partially degraded substrates that are normally degraded within, and transported out of the lysosome. The particular substrates stored and the site(s) of storage vary with disease type and enzyme/protein deficiency. The nature of the substrate can be used to group the disorders into broad categories including the mucopolysaccharidoses, lipidoses, glycogenoses and oligosaccharidoses. These categories show many clinical similarities within groups as well as significant similarities between groups. For most lysosomal storage disorders the relationship between the stored substrates (type, amount and location) and the disease pathology is not well understood. The use of mass spectrometry and in particular tandem mass spectrometry provides a powerful tool for the investigation of stored substrates in this group of disorders. In this review we will describe the use of mass spectrometry for the analysis of stored substrates. We will discuss progress in the field, limitations of current methods, and summarise issues relating to the diagnosis and treatment of some of the more prevalent lysosomal storage disorders. 相似文献

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are inherited metabolic diseases from the group of lysosomal storage disorders (LSD). They are caused by genetic defects resulting in the absence or severe deficiency in one of lysosmal hydrolases involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Partially degraded GAGs are accumulated in lysosomes, causing dysfunction of cells, tissues and organs. Last years did bring some breakthrough discoveries, which were important to understand biochemical mechanisms of MPS appearance and course, as well as to develop therapeutic procedures for these inherited metabolic disorders. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders. CLN8 deficiency causes a subtype of NCL, referred to as CLN8 disease. CLN8 is an ER resident protein with unknown function; however, a role in ceramide metabolism has been suggested. In this report, we identified PP2A and its biological inhibitor I2PP2A as interacting proteins of CLN8. PP2A is one of the major serine/threonine phosphatases in cells and governs a wide range of signaling pathways by dephosphorylating critical signaling molecules. We showed that the phosphorylation levels of several substrates of PP2A, namely Akt, S6 kinase, and GSK3β, were decreased in CLN8 disease patient fibroblasts. This reduction can be reversed by inhibiting PP2A phosphatase activity with cantharidin , suggesting a higher PP2A activity in CLN8-deficient cells. Since ceramides are known to bind and influence the activity of PP2A and I2PP2A, we further examined whether ceramide levels in the CLN8-deficient cells were changed. Interestingly, the ceramide levels were reduced by 60% in CLN8 disease patient cells compared to controls. Furthermore, we observed that the conversion of ER-localized NBD-C6-ceramide to glucosylceramide and sphingomyelin in the Golgi apparatus was not affected in CLN8-deficient cells, indicating transport of ceramides from ER to the Golgi apparatus was normal. A model of how CLN8 along with ceramides affects I2PP2A and PP2A binding and activities is proposed. 相似文献

Much is now understood concerning the synthesis of prenylated and palmitoylated proteins, but what is known of their metabolic fate? This review details metabolic pathways for the lysosomal degradation of S-fatty acylated and prenylated proteins. Central to these pathways are two lysosomal enzymes, palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT1) and prenylcysteine lyase (PCL). PPT1 is a soluble lipase that cleaves fatty acids from cysteine residues in proteins during lysosomal protein degradation. Notably, deficiency in the enzyme causes a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. PCL is a membrane-associated flavin-containing lysosomal monooxygenase that metabolizes prenylcysteine to prenyl aldehyde through a completely novel mechanism. The eventual metabolic fates of other lipidated proteins (such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored and N-myristoylated proteins) are poorly understood, suggesting directions for future research. 相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of disorders defined by shared clinical and pathological features, including seizures and progressive decline in vision, neurocognition, and motor functioning, as well as accumulation of autofluorescent lysosomal storage material, or ‘ceroid lipofuscin’. Research has revealed thirteen distinct genetic subtypes. Precisely how the gene mutations lead to the clinical phenotype is still incompletely understood, but recent research progress is starting to shed light on disease mechanisms, in both gene-specific and shared pathways. As the application of new sequencing technologies to genetic disease diagnosis has grown, so too has the spectrum of clinical phenotypes caused by mutations in the NCL genes. Most genes causing NCL have probably been identified, underscoring the need for a shift towards applying genomics approaches to achieve a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of the NCLs and related disorders. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the thirteen identified NCL genes and the proteins they encode, touching upon the spectrum of clinical manifestations linked to each of the genes, and we highlight recent progress leading to a broader understanding of key pathways involved in NCL disease pathogenesis and commonalities with other neurodegenerative diseases. 相似文献

The past decade has witnessed remarkable advances in our ability to treat inherited metabolic disorders, especially the lysosomal storage diseases, a group of more than 40 disorders, each of which is caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme or protein. During the past few years, both enzyme replacement and enhancement therapies have been developed to treat these disorders. This review discusses the successes and shortcomings of these therapeutic strategies, and the contributions that they have made to treating lysosomal storage diseases. 相似文献

By comparing mRNA profiles in cultured fibroblasts from patients affected with lysosomal storage diseases, we identified differentially expressed genes common to these conditions. These studies, confirmed by biochemical experiments, demonstrated that lysosomal storage is associated with downregulation of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase, UCH-L1 in the cells of eight different lysosomal disorders, as well as in the brain of a mouse model of Sandhoff disease. Induction of lysosomal storage by the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 also reduced UCH-L1 mRNA, protein level and activity. All cells exhibiting lysosomal storage contained ubiquitinated protein aggregates and showed reduced levels of free ubiquitin and decreased proteasome activity. The caspase-mediated apoptosis in E-64-treated fibroblasts was reversed by transfection with a UCH-L1 plasmid, and increased after downregulation of UCH-L1 by siRNA, suggesting that UCH-L1 deficiency and impairment of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway can contribute to the increased cell death observed in many lysosomal storage disorders. 相似文献
