The interaction of amyloid A beta(1-40) with lipid bilayers and ganglioside as studied by P-31 solid-state NMR [PDF]

, 2009
Amyloid P-peptide (A beta) is a major component of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, and formation of senile plaques has been suggested to originate fro m regions of neuronal membrane rich in gangliosides. We analyzed the mode of interaction of A beta with

Preparation of lyso-GM1 (II3Neu5AcGgOse4-long chain bases) by a one-pot reaction.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
A simple procedure is described for preparing lyso-GM1, a GM1 derivative that lacks the fatty acid moiety, starting from GM1 ganglioside using a one-pot reaction. Ganglioside deacylation was carried out in KOH/propan-1-ol in the absence of oxygen.

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.

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.

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

GM1 ganglioside-independent intoxication by Cholera toxin. [PDF]

PLoS Pathog, 2018
Cholera toxin (CT) enters and intoxicates host cells after binding cell surface receptors via its B subunit (CTB). We have recently shown that in addition to the previously described binding partner ganglioside GM1, CTB binds to fucosylated proteins. Using flow cytometric analysis of primary human jejunal epithelial cells and granulocytes, we now show ...

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).
