Glycosphingolipids in the Regulation of the Nervous System

Abstract: The highest expression of gangliosides, sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids (GSLs), is found in the nervous tissue of vertebrates. Changes in the profiles of gangliosides during the development of nervous tissues indicate that they are involved in the regulation of neurogenesis and synaptogenesis. Their distinct distribution patterns support the suggestion that they are involved in both the differentiation and function of neural cells. In addition to results of studies of GSLs done using biochemical, his… Show more

“…Overexpression of the GD3 synthase also leads to an increase in GD1b and GT1b, while the level of GM1 decreases indicating that GD1b and GT1b might also be involved in regulating TrkA signalling. Surprisingly, overexpression of the GM1 synthase (B3GALT4) in PC12 cells prevents NGF-induced activation of TrkA, which is probably due to significant changes in the intracellular localization of the receptor [71]. Thus, balancing the level of GM1, as well as GD1b and GT1b, is important in controlling the TrkA signalling response in neuronal polarization.…”

“…The most important example of developmental GSL remodelling is that operating in neural differentiation (Furukawa et al, 2014). Nevertheless, metabolic channelling mechanisms are exploited during development where the GSL synthetic flux is switched from one metabolic direction to another.…”

“…The third-ranked gene set "glycosphingolipid biosynthesisglobo series" produces glycosphingolipids (GSLs) that are especially abundant in the nervous system. Mounting evidence supports regulatory roles of GSLs in neurogenesis and signal transduction in the developing human brain (Furukawa et al 2014). FLAGS also identified another significant gene set, "gap junction," which is consistent with its important roles in the nervous system.…”
