Reduced sphingolipid hydrolase activities, substrate accumulation and ganglioside decline in Parkinson’s disease

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2019
Haploinsufficiency in the Gaucher disease GBA gene, which encodes the lysosomal glucocerebrosidase GBA, and ageing represent major risk factors for developing Parkinson’s disease (PD).

C1q-targeted inhibition of the classical complement pathway prevents injury in a novel mouse model of acute motor axonal neuropathy [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease that results in acute paralysis through inflammatory attack on peripheral nerves, and currently has limited, non-specific treatment options.

Mice lacking sialyltransferase ST3Gal-II develop late-onset obesity and insulin resistance [PDF]

, 2016
Sialyltransferases are a family of 20 gene products in mice and humans that transfer sialic acid from its activated precursor, CMP-sialic acid, to the terminus of glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors.

The Key Role of GM1 Ganglioside in Parkinson’s Disease

Biomolecules, 2022
We have endeavored in this review to summarize our findings, which point to a systemic deficiency of ganglioside GM1 in Parkinson’s disease (PD) tissues.

The effects of age and ganglioside composition on the rate of motor nerve terminal regeneration following antibody-mediated injury in mice [PDF]

, 2013
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids highly enriched in neural plasma membranes, where they mediate a diverse range of functions and can act as targets for auto-antibodies present in human immune-mediated neuropathy sera.

Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]

, 2014
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.

Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]

, 2016
Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

Neuraminidase-1 contributes significantly to the degradation of neuronal B-series gangliosides but not to the bypass of the catabolic block in Tay–Sachs mouse models

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2015
Tay–Sachs disease is a severe lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the HEXA gene coding for α subunit of lysosomal β-Hexosaminidase A enzyme, which converts GM2 to GM3 ganglioside. HexA−/− mice, depleted of the β-Hexosaminidase A iso-enzyme,

Bioactive Functions of Lipids in the Milk Fat Globule Membrane: A Comprehensive Review

Foods, 2023
The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a complex tri-layer membrane that wraps droplets of lipids in milk. In recent years, it has attracted widespread attention due to its excellent bioactive functions and nutritional value.

Guillain-Barré syndrome: a century of progress [PDF]

, 2016
In 1916, Guillain, Barré and Strohl reported on two cases of acute flaccid paralysis with high cerebrospinal fluid protein levels and normal cell counts — novel findings that identified the disease we now know as Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).
