Loss of NPC1 enhances phagocytic uptake and impairs lipid trafficking in microglia
24 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Niemann-Pick type C disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by mutations in NPC1 , resulting in abnormal late endosomal/lysosomal lipid storage. Although microgliosis is a prominent pathological feature, direct consequences of NPC1 loss on microglial function remain not fully characterized. We discovered pathological proteomic signatures and phenotypes in NPC1-deficient murine models...
