Exposure to nonmicrobial N-glycolylneuraminic acid protects farmers' children against airway inflammation and colitis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Childhood exposure to a farm environment has been shown to protect against the development of inflammatory diseases, such as allergy, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.

ROLE OF XENOSIALIZATION IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF COLITIS IN THE CANINE MODEL: POSSIBLE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF NEW PROBIOTICS BLENDS [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a heterogeneous state of chronic intestinal inflammation with no exact known cause. In dogs, IBD is expressed histologically with lymphoplasmacytic inflammation (LPL) of gastrointestinal tract.

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a widely expressed sialic acid in mammalian cells. Although humans are genetically deficient in producing Neu5Gc, small amounts are present in human cells in vivo.

Alpha 1,3-Galactosyltransferase Deficiency in Pigs Increases Sialyltransferase Activities That Potentially Raise Non-Gal Xenoantigenicity [PDF]
We examined whether deficiency of the GGTA1 gene in pigs altered the expression of several glycosyltransferase genes. Real-time RT-PCR and glycosyltransferase activity showed that 2 sialyltransferases [α2,3-sialyltransferase (α2,3ST) and α2,6 ...

The Sodium Sialic Acid Symporter From Staphylococcus aureus Has Altered Substrate Specificity
Mammalian cell surfaces are decorated with complex glycoconjugates that terminate with negatively charged sialic acids. Commensal and pathogenic bacteria can use host-derived sialic acids for a competitive advantage, but require a functional sialic acid ...

The Expression of PolySia/TriSia Associated Proteins and Genes on Developing Brain and the Effect of Dietary Sialic Acid Intervention in Piglets [PDF]
摘要 研究背景:唾液酸(Sialicacid,Sia)是一类九碳单糖神经氨酸的总称,在细胞表面发挥其多种生物学功能。在体内,Sia通常以游离唾液酸、聚唾液酸(多聚/寡聚)、唾液酸衍生物(糖蛋白,糖脂)这三种形式存在。多聚唾液酸(polySialicacid,ploySia),一种唾液酸残基通过α2-8键连接而成的线性聚合物,广泛分布于在哺乳动物神经系统中,它的主要蛋白载体是神经细胞粘附因子(Neuralcelladhesionmolecule,NCAM)。PolySia-NCAM在细胞迁移、神经突生长 ...

Background N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is synthesized from its precursor N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) by cytidine-5′-monophospho-N acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH), which is encoded by the CMAH gene.

Phylogenetic distribution of CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase (CMAH), the enzyme synthetizing the pro-inflammatory human xeno-antigen Neu5Gc [PDF]
The enzyme CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) is responsible for thesynthesis of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a sialic acid present on the cell surfaceproteins of most deuterostomes.
