Revealing the roles of glycosphingolipid metabolism pathway in the development of keloid: a conjoint analysis of single-cell and machine learning

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Keloid is a pathological scar formed by abnormal wound healing, characterized by the persistence of local inflammation and excessive collagen deposition, where the intensity of inflammation is positively correlated with the size of the scar formation ...

GOLM1 depletion modifies cellular sphingolipid metabolism and adversely affects cell growth

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) is a Golgi-resident type 2 transmembrane protein known to be overexpressed in several cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as in viral infections.

The Involvement of Lactosylceramide in Central Nervous System Inflammation Related to Neurodegenerative Disease

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of slow-progressing terminal illnesses characterized by neuronal lesions, such as multiple sclerosis [MS, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)]. Their incidence

Structure Elucidation of Calyxoside B, a Bipolar Sphingolipid from a Marine Sponge Cladocroce sp. through the Use of Beckmann Rearrangement

Marine Drugs, 2021
Marine sponges are an excellent source of biologically active secondary metabolites. We focus on deep-sea sponges for our discovery study. A marine sponge Cladocroce sp. exhibited cytotoxic activity in the bioactivity screening.

The Cellular and Chemical Biology of Endocytic Trafficking and Intracellular Delivery—The GL–Lect Hypothesis

Molecules, 2021
Lipid membranes are common to all forms of life. While being stable barriers that delimitate the cell as the fundamental organismal unit, biological membranes are highly dynamic by allowing for lateral diffusion, transbilayer passage via selective ...

Genetic Defects and Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Parkinson's Disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder attributed to the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons mainly in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Motor symptoms include resting tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesias, while non-motor symptoms include ...

Glycosphingolipids and Infection. Potential New Therapeutic Avenues

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), the main topic of this review, are a subclass of sphingolipids. With their glycans exposed to the extracellular space, glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous components of the plasma membrane of cells.

Dimeric Lectin Chimeras as Novel Candidates for Gb3-Mediated Transcytotic Drug Delivery through Cellular Barriers

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Receptor-mediated transcytosis is an elegant and promising strategy for drug delivery across biological barriers. Here, we describe a novel ligand–receptor pair based on a dimeric, engineered derivative of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecA, here ...

Isolation and Structure Elucidation of GM4-Type Gangliosides from the Okinawan Starfish Protoreaster nodosus

Marine Drugs, 2012
Three new ganglioside molecular species, termed PNG-1, PNG-2A, and PNG-2B were isolated from pyloric caeca of the starfish Protoreaster nodosus. Their structures were elucidated using a combination of spectroscopic and chemical methods, and characterized
