Dynamic caveolae exclude bulk membrane proteins and are required for sorting of excess glycosphingolipids

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
Caveolae have long been implicated in endocytosis. Recent data question this link, and in the absence of specific cargoes the potential cellular function of caveolar endocytosis remains unclear.

Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Gaucher disease mouse models: point mutations at the acid β-glucosidase locus combined with low-level prosaposin expression lead to disease variants

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
Gaucher disease is a common lysosomal storage disease caused by a defect of acid β-glucosidase (GCase). The optimal in vitro hydrolase activity of GCase requires saposin C, an activator protein that derives from a precursor, prosaposin.

The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—

Sex differences of urinary and kidney globotriaosylceramide and lyso-globotriaosylceramide in Fabry mice

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2011
The aim of our study was to measure globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and lyso-Gb3 levels by tandem mass spectrometry in the urine and kidney in Fabry (gla knockout) mice and wild-type controls.

Enhancing Lipidomics With High‐Resolution Ion Mobility‐Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipids, indispensable yet structurally intricate biomolecules, serve as critical regulators of cellular function and disease progression. Conventional lipidomics, constrained by limited resolution for isomeric and low‐abundance species, has been transformed by ion mobility‐mass spectrometry (IM‐MS).

Helicobacter pylori SabA binding gangliosides of human stomach

open access: yesVirulence, 2018
Adhesion of Helicobacter pylori to the gastric mucosa is a prerequisite for the pathogenesis of H. pylori related diseases. In this study, we investigated the ganglioside composition of human stomach as the target for attachment mediated by H.

Beyond nocardioform: Transcriptionally active microbes and host responses in equine mucoid placentitis

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nocardioform placentitis (NP) is an understudied form of equine placentitis historically attributed to nocardioform bacteria, yet it remains uncertain whether these organisms are the sole pathogens involved. Objectives To elucidate the pathophysiology of NP and the host–pathogen interaction. Study Design In vivo clinical multi‐omics

Biological Roles of Aberrantly Expressed Glycosphingolipids and Related Enzymes in Human Cancer Development and Progression

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), which consist of a hydrophobic ceramide backbone and a hydrophilic carbohydrate residue, are an important type of glycolipid expressed in surface membranes of all animal cells. GSLs play essential roles in maintenance of plasma

Glycosphingolipids and drug resistance

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2006
Drug resistance, an all too frequent characteristic of cancer, represents a serious barrier to successful treatment. Although many resistance mechanisms have been described, those that involve membrane-resident proteins belonging to the ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporter superfamily are of particular interest.
