A Shiga Toxin B-Subunit-Based Lectibody Boosts T Cell Cytotoxicity towards Gb3-Positive Cancer Cells
Aberrant glycosylation plays a crucial role in tumour progression and invasiveness. Tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) represent a valuable set of targets for immunotherapeutic approaches.

Inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by globotriaosylceramide immunotargeting [PDF]
Current antiangiogenic immunotherapeutic strategies mainly focus on the blockade of circulating cytokines or receptors that are overexpressed by endothelial cells. We proposed globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) as a viable alternative target for antiangiogenic therapies. In this setting, we developed an anti-Gb3 antibody and validated its therapeutic efficacy

Shiga toxin is the main virulence factor of non-invasive enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains capable of causing hemolytic uremic syndrome. Our group has previously shown that the toxin can reach the kidney within microvesicles where it is taken up

Shiga Toxin Uptake and Sequestration in Extracellular Vesicles Is Mediated by Its B-Subunit
Shiga toxin (Stx)-stimulated blood cells shed extracellular vesicles (EVs) which can transfer the toxin to the kidneys and lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Structural Diversities of Lectins Binding to the Glycosphingolipid Gb3
Glycolipids are present on the surfaces of all living cells and thereby represent targets for many protein receptors, such as lectins. Understanding the interactions between lectins and glycolipids is essential for investigating the functions of lectins ...

Fabry disease – a multisystemic disease with gastrointestinal manifestations
Nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, such as postprandial cramping pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting are typical symptoms for irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease, but may also be the first symptoms of Fabry disease (FD).

Enzymatic Glyco-Modification of Synthetic Membrane Systems
The present report assesses the capability of a soluble glycosyltransferase to modify glycolipids organized in two synthetic membrane systems that are attractive models to mimic cell membranes: giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) and supported lipid ...

Inhibition of Multidrug Resistance by AdamantylGb3, a Globotriaosylceramide Analog [PDF]
Multidrug resistance (MDR) via the ABC drug transporter (ABCB1), P-glycoprotein (P-gp/MDR1) overexpression, is a major obstacle in cancer chemotherapy. Many inhibitors reverse MDR but, like cyclosporin A (CsA), have significant toxicities. MDR1 is also a translocase that flips glucosylceramide inside the Golgi to enhance neutral glycosphingolipid (GSL)
