Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, inherited lysosomal degenerative disease characterized by an abnormal sphingolipid metabolism (see lysosomal diseases ). Four types are usually identified: infantile, late infantile, juvenile and adult. Eponyms for the different forms are: Santavuori disease, Jansky Bielchowsky disease, Spielmeyer Vogt or Batten disease, Kufs' disease. Clinically a whole range of symptoms is found, including delayed psychomotor development, ataxia, hypotonia, choreoathetosis, epilepsy and visual failure. The grey matter is mainly affected and nonselective diffuse cerebral and cerebellar cortical atrophy is the MR finding; abnormal T2 hyperintensity of the white matter may also be found.

Extractions: neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis Batten's syndrome is a recessively inherited neurodegenerative condition involving a lysosomal storage defect. It is caused by abnormal storage of cerebral lipofuscins. There are a number of other names that are used to refer to this condition, depending on the age of onset: In addition this condition is sometimes known as familial amaurotic familial idiocy or as lipofuscinosis. The gene involved in this syndrome is on chromosome 16.

Hamon Center - Sandy Hofmann of a new lysosomal enzyme, palmitoylprotein thioesterase, that is defective ina neuronal degenerative disorder, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. http://www.swmed.edu/cancer/Labs/Hofmann.htm
Extractions: Sandra.Hofmann@UTSouthwestern.edu Work in the laboratory centers on the role of lipid-metabolizing enzymes in cell metabolism and signal transduction. One major emphasis is on the covalent modification of proteins by the fatty acid palmitate and the study of enzymes that transfer the palmitate on and off modified proteins. This work led to the discovery of a new lysosomal enzyme, palmitoyl-protein thioesterase, that is defective in a neuronal degenerative disorder, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. This disease has been considered to be a model for aging because lipofuscinosis occurs in all tissues with advancing age. Current work involves the enzymology and molecular genetics of this new enzyme and how a deficiency in the thioesterase leads to neuronal death.

Animal subjects IRB approved project number (where applicable): 0433-00-08-1 Project Type (patient-based research, animal-based research, or basic research; this characterization is only to permit a general classification for grouping similar types of projects) Brief Description of Project: PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-2) is a novel lysosomal fatty-acyl thioesterase recently characterized in the lab. In vitro, it hydrolyzes palmitoyl CoA but its substrates in vivo are unknown. Deficiency in PPT1 produces a neurodegenerative phenotype in mice and humans. We have recently produced mice with a targeted deletion in PPT2. The aim of the project will be to characterize any behavioral or neurological deficits in PPT2 deficient mice and to initiate metabolic labeling studies using tissues from these mice to uncover the physiological substrates for PPT2.

Neurons have been cultured from sheep for the first time. Those from affected sheep are being used to study the mechanism of degeneration and test therapies. Apoptosis and excitotoxicity are being examined along with the role of neurotrophic factors. Techniques include histology, immunocytochemistry, molecular biology and protein chemistry. The ovine forms of different genes for different forms of Batten disease are being identified and sequenced. This work involves a number of collaborations with workers in New Zealand, Europe, the USA and Japan.
