Abstract BACKGROUND: Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is an autosomal-recessive lipid-storage disorder with an estimated minimal incidence of 1/120,000 live births. Besides other neuronal and visceral symptoms, NPC1 patients develop spleen dysfunction, isolated spleno- or hepatosplenomegaly and infections. The mechanisms of splenomegaly and alterations of lipid metabolism-related genes in NPC1 disease are still poorly understood. METHODS: Here, we used an NPC1 mouse model to study a splenoprotective effect of a treatment with miglustat, 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin and allopregnanolone and showed that this treatment has a positive effect on spleen morphology and lipid metabolism. RESULTS: Disease progress can be halted and blocked at the molecular level. Mutant Npc1 (Npc1-/-) mice showed increased spleen weight and increased lipid accumulation that could be avoided by our treatment. Also, FACS analyses showed that the increased number of splenic myeloid cells in Npc1-/- mice was normalized by the treatment. Treated Npc1-/- mice showed decreased numbers of cytotoxic T cells and increased numbers of T helper cells. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the treatment promotes normal spleen morphology, stabilization of lipid homeostasis and blocking of inflammation, but alters the composition of T cell subtypes.
