Mutations in the Niemann-Pick disease genes cause lysosomal cholesterol
accumulation and impaired low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
esterification. These findings have been attributed to a block in cholesterol
movement from lysosomes to the site of the sterol regulatory machinery. In
this study we show that Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) and Niemann-Pick type C2
(NPC2) mutants have increased cellular cholesterol, yet they are unable to
suppress LDL receptor activity and cholesterol biosynthesis. Cholesterol
overload in both NPC1 and NPC2 mutants results from the failure of LDL
cholesterol tobothsuppresssterolregulatoryelement-bindingprotein-dependent
gene expression and promote liver X receptor-mediated responses. However, the
severity of the defect in regulation of sterol homeostasis does not correlate
with endoplasmic reticulum cholesterol levels, but rather with the degree to
which NPC mutant fibroblasts fail to appropriately generate
25-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol in response to LDL
cholesterol. Moreover, we demonstrate that treatment with oxysterols reduces
cholesterol in NPC mutants and is able to correct the NPC1I1061T
phenotype, the most prevalent NPC1 disease genotype. Our findings support a
role for NPC1 and NPC2 in the regulation of sterol homeostasis through
generation of LDL cholesterol-derived oxysterols and have important
implications for the treatment of NPC disease.
