NPC1 deficiency disrupts lysosomal function by inducing cholesterol accumulation that leads to early neurodegeneration in Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease. Mitochondria pathology and deficits in NPC1 deficient cells are associated with impaired lysosomal proteolysis and metabolic signaling. It is thought that activation of the transcription factor TFEB, an inducer of lysosome biogenesis, restores lysosomal-autophagy activity in lysosomal storage disorders. Here, we investigated the effect of trehalose, a TFEB activator, in the mitochondria pathology of NPC1 mutant fibroblasts <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and in mouse developmental Purkinje cells <jats:italic>ex vivo<\/jats:italic>. We found that in NPC1 mutant fibroblasts, serum starvation or\/and trehalose treatment, both activators of TFEB, reversed mitochondria fragmentation to a more tubular mitochondrion. Trehalose treatment also decreased the accumulation of Filipin<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> cholesterol in NPC1 mutant fibroblasts. However, trehalose treatment in cerebellar organotypic slices (COSCs) from wild-type and <jats:italic>Npc1<\/jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>nmf164<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sup> mice caused mitochondria fragmentation and lack of dendritic growth and degeneration in developmental Purkinje cells. Our data suggest, that although trehalose successfully restores mitochondria length and decreases cholesterol accumulation in NPC1 mutant fibroblasts, in COSCs, Purkinje cells mitochondria and dendritic growth are negatively affected possibly through the overactivation of the TFEB-lysosomal-autophagy pathway.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0294312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,30]],"date-time":"2023-11-30T19:10:05Z","timestamp":1701371405000},"page":"e0294312","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Trehalose enhances mitochondria deficits in human NPC1 mutant fibroblasts but disrupts mouse Purkinje cell dendritic growth ex vivo"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Collin M.","family":"MacLeod","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fawad A.
