Anti-inflammatory role of GM1 and other gangliosides on microglia

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids highly enriched in the brain, with important roles in cell signaling, cell-to-cell communication, and immunomodulation.

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.

Preparation of GM1 ganglioside molecular species having homogeneous fatty acid and long chain base moieties.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
A new procedure is described for preparing the molecular species of GM1 ganglioside that carry a single fatty acid (myristic (C14:0), stearic (C18:0), arachidic (C20:0) or lignoceric (C24:0) acid) and a single long chain base (C18 or C20 sphingosine, C18

Intraventricular Sialidase Administration Enhances GM1 Ganglioside Expression and Is Partially Neuroprotective in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Preclinical and clinical studies have previously shown that systemic administration of GM1 ganglioside has neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties in Parkinson's disease (PD) models and in PD patients. However, the clinical development of GM1 for

Neuropathophysiological potential of Guillain-Barré syndrome anti-ganglioside-complex antibodies at mouse motor nerve terminals [PDF]

, 2011
Objectives:  Anti-ganglioside antibodies are present in approximately half of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) patients. Recently, it has been shown that a considerable proportion of these patients has serum antibodies against antigenic epitopes formed by a

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).

Sphingomyelin and GM1 Influence Huntingtin Binding to, Disruption of, and Aggregation on Lipid Membranes [PDF]

, 2018
Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion beyond a critical threshold of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract near the N-terminus of the huntingtin (htt) protein. Expanded polyQ promotes the formation of a variety

Characterization of GM1 ganglioside by direct inlet chemical ionization mass spectrometry.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1982
Intact permethylated and permethylated-reduced (LiAlH4) derivatives of GM1 ganglioside were analyzed by direct inlet ammonia chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry. In addition, the trimethylsilylated derivative of the permethylated-reduced sample of
