1 Supplementary Figure 1. Characterization of NPC1 knockdown hESC lines. (A) Knockdown of NPC1 measured by qRT-PCR in four clonal NPC1 hESC lines. NPC1 levels were normalized to NONO and HPRT internal controls. Pr= primer set. (B) NPC1 KD hESC can generate cells from the three germ layers through formation of embryoid bodies. Immunofluorescence is shown for ectoderm marker beta-III tubulin (TUJ1), mesoderm marker smooth muscle actin (SMA) and endoderm marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Scale bar is 50μm. (C) NPC1 KD hESC can generate neurospheres and mixed neuronal cultures that express lineage specific markers TUJ1 and MAP2. Immunofluorescence and WB of representative clone are shown. Scale bar is 50μm for neurospheres and 10μm for neuronal cultures.

2 Supplementary Figure 2. Characterization of NPC1 phenotypes in NPC1 knockdown hESC and method for generation of NSC lines. (A) NPC1 KD hESC accumulate LysoTracker positive organelles and internalized HDL particles labeled with Bodipy-cholesteryl. Quantification shown is normalized to wt (** for p<0.001, n=15 from 3 independent experiments). Scale bar is 10um. (B) FACS of hESCs co-cultured with PA6 stromal line. Cultures were dissociated, stained with surface markers and sorted at 12-16 days. CD184+CD15+CD44-CD271- cells were selected, replated and expanded to generate pure NSC lines. NSCs stain positive for lineage markers Ki-67 and Sox2. Scale bar is 50μm. (C) Neural stem cells (NSC) infected with NPC1 shRNA pSicoR- GFP vector have normal morphology and express lineage specific markers nestin and Sox2. Scale bar is 10μm.

3 Supplementary Figure 3. Additional characterization of mitochondrial phenotypes in NPC1 fibroblasts and neural cells. (A) No significant difference in MitoTracker signal is evident in NPC1 compared to wt fibroblasts grown under baseline conditions, however MitoTracker signal is increased in NPC1 fibroblasts when subjected to serum deprivation. No significant difference of MitoTracker Red-CM-H 2 XRos staining was observed under baseline or serum deprivation conditions. (B) MitoTracker Red- CM-H 2 XRos stained NPC1 fibroblasts and neurons do not show mitochondrial fragmentation. Mean mitochondrial length is quantified and normalized to wt (n=10 from 2 independent experiments). Scale bar is 10μm.

(A) Confocal live imaging of human fibroblasts grown under serum deprivation, transfected with GFP-LC3 plasmid and stained with MitoTracker shows co- localization of mitochondrial fragments with LC3-GFP punctae in NPC1 fibroblasts (n=10 from two independent experiments). (B) NPC1 fibroblasts have increased LC3- GFP signal measured by live imaging and flow cytometry. Quantification of LC3-GFP fluorescence intensity is shown (** for p<0.001, * for p<0.05, n=9 from 3 independent experiments). Scale bar is 10μm. A NPC1U18666Awt LC3-GFP MITOTRACKER merge
