Glycolipid composition of purified plasma membranes from rat ascites hepatomas, two island-forming cell-lines and two cell-lines of the free-type, and normal rat liver were compared. Ceramide monohexoside (CMH), ceramide dihexoside (CDH), and hematoside (GM3) were found in normal rat liver cell membranes. The island-type hepatomas contained ceramide trihexoside (CTh) and globoside besides CMH, CDH, and GM3. The free-type of hepatomas were characterized by the presence of asialo-type gangliosides but not GM3. The free-type of hepatomas were characterized by the presence of asialo-type gangliosides but not GM3. Blood group H active fucolipid was a major glycolipid in the free-type of ascites hepatoma cell (AH 7974 F). The increase of glycolipid content in cell membranes seemed to be accompanied with a decrease of cell adhesiveness. 相似文献

GQ1b, a bioactive ganglioside that exhibits novel nerve growth factor (NGF)-like activities in the two neuroblastoma cell lines 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
To clarify the role of gangliosides in the morphological and biochemical differentiation of neuronal cell cultures, the model cell culture system represented by two neuroblastoma cell lines, GOTO and NB-1, which were established from adrenal gland and metastatic neck lymph node, respectively, was examined. We found that the total ganglioside fraction from human brain had two remarkable effects on these cell lines, which are similar to those of nerve growth factor (NGF): (a) an increase in the cell number, and (b) an increase in the neurite number and the total length of neurites. In these cases, the genuine effector in total gangliosides could not be ascribed to a possibly contaminating NGF-like protein, but rather to a particular molecular species of the gangliosides, GQ1b, which could completely replace the effector function not only qualitatively but also quantitatively. Our results provide direct evidence for the participation of gangliosides in such functions. 相似文献

Trypsinized normal rat embryo fibroblasts and untrypsinized and trypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts have two orders of binding sites for bacterial glycolipid mR595. The high order sites fix 1–3 μg glycolipid mR595/105 cells and those of the low order fix about 6 μg glycolipid mR595/106 cells. Ca++ is required for the low order glycolipid mR595 binding to be trypsinized but not to the untrypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts. The low order binding but not to the untrypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts. The low order binding is temperature dependent with the transition temperature lying between 25 and 37°C. Exogenously added ganglioside and glycoproteins contained in the fetal calf serum do not inhibit fixation of glycolipid mR595. Only β-lipoprotein at high concentrations is slightly inhibitory. Glycolipid mR595 fixation to transformed fibroblast does not alter their morphology and appears to slightly improve cell attachment to substratum. Glycolipid mR595 fixation results in a lengthening of the S-phase of the cell cycle and a reduction in 2-deoxyglucose uptake. Uptake of inorganic phosphate is not affected. Inhibition of phospholipid synthesis is observed in mR595 fixed fibroblasts whereas synthesis of cell surface glycoproteins and the content of cellular gangliosides is not affected. 相似文献

The plasma membranes from ejaculated human spermatozoa were removed by nitrogen cavitation (600 PSI for 10 min) and isolated by centrifugation followed by a discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Glycolipid analysis of the plasma membrane revealed a three-fold enrichment in gangliosides: GM3 and GD1a/GD1b and neutral glycolipids: globoside and sulfatide as compared to that of whole human sperm. Two dimensional electrophoresis of human sperm plasma membranes revealed about 75 polypeptides. Several of these polypeptides were similar in migration and in display of shape and color to that found in boar sperm plasma membranes. 相似文献

2The ganglioside compositions of the chick optic tectum and aggregating tectal cell cultures were examined. Both showed similar trends in changes in ganglioside patterns during development. GD3 and GD1b were the predominant gangliosides early in development, while GD1a and several other multisialogangliosides increased in relative amounts with increasing age in vivo and in vitro. Four gangliosides were present early in development which have not previously been reported. These gangliosides are not present at later developmental times suggesting a possible role for them during the critical early stages of nervous tissue differentiation. Some differences were noted when comparing in vivo versus in vitro ganglioside patterns; these differences may possibly be due to the lack of normal retinotectal connections in the cultures. Cytochemical studies on the localization of the presumed cholera toxin--peroxidase binding site GM1 showed conjugate binding correlates with increasing levels of GM1 in the cultures. In older cultures, the conjugate was uniformly localized on all cells and processes in the aggregates. The conjugate also bound to synaptic membranes and intensely stained the synaptic cleft. This latter observation suggests an enrichment of GM1 in the synaptic cleft region. 相似文献

In an earlier study, we showed that expressions of GD3, GT1b, and GQ1b gangliosides in P19 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells were enhanced during their neural differentiation induced by retinoic acid. We now further demonstrated that this increase of the b-series gangliosides is due to an increase in their corresponding synthases (sialyltransferase-II, -IV, and -V) in the Golgi. Of the three gangliosides studied, GQ1b appeared to be the best candidate for monitoring such differentiation process. We also used fluorescence-labeled monoclonal antibodies and confocal fluorescence microscopy to obtain direct visual information about the relationship of gangliosides and neural specific proteins in neuron development. Again, GQ1b is the most interesting as it localizes with synaptophysin and neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs) on synaptic boutons or dendritic spines in RA-induced neurons (R/N). This suggests that GQ1b could be used as a marker for synapse formation during construction of the neural network. 相似文献

Glycolipid compositions of three mouse myeloid leukemia cell clones, two that are sensitive to differentiation inducers (M1-T22 and M1-S1) and one that is differentiation-resistant (M1-R1), have been compared. The T22 and S1 clones contained glucosylceramide (GlcCer), lactosylceramide (LacCer) and gangliotriaosylceramide (Gg3Cer) as the major neutral glycolipids. The differentiation resistant clone, R1, was characterized by the appearance of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3Cer) and a decrease of Gg3Cer. There was a distinct difference in the ganglioside profile between the differentiation-inducible and -resistant clones: T22 and S1 cells contained no detectable amounts of ganglioside, whereas six different gangliosides were detected in the R1 clone. These gangliosides were isolated and identified as GM3, GM2, GM1a, GD1a, GM1b, and a unique disialoganglioside, GD1 alpha, having the following structure: (formula; see text) Based on these comparative studies, the relationship between the glycolipid composition and the differentiation potential of leukemia cells is discussed. 相似文献

Nuclear gangliosides were characterized using two distinct fractions of large (N1) and small (N2) nuclear populations from rat brain. The ganglioside concentration of N1 nuclei from adult rat brain was 0.92 microg sialic acid/mg protein, which was about 3.8 times higher than that of N2 nuclei. N1 and N2 nuclear gangliosides showed similar compositional profiles; they contained major gangliosides of GM1, GD1a, GD1b, and GT1b, with GM3 in lesser amounts. c-Series gangliosides such as GT3, GQ1c, and GP1c were also detected in both nuclear preparations. Nuclear localization of gangliosides was confirmed by immunofluorescence with anti-GM1 antibody, cholera toxin B subunit, and c-series ganglioside-specific monoclonal antibody A2B5. Developmental changes of nuclear gangliosides were examined using rats of different ages ranging from embryonic day 14 (E14) to postnatal 7 weeks. The concentration of N1 nuclear gangliosides changed only slightly during development and did not correlate with that of whole-brain gangliosides. The developmental pattern of ganglioside composition of N1 nuclei was also distinguished from that of microsomal membranes; the ganglioside changes in N1 nuclei included reduced expression of di- and polysialogangliosides at E16 and higher proportions of GM3 at early and late stages of the period. These findings suggest that gangliosides in nuclear membranes are developmentally regulated in a distinct manner in brain cells. 相似文献

The two clonal murine muscle cell lines G7 and G8, originally derived from the M114 line [20], represent unique models for comparative studies of myogenesis. Glycolipid synthesis was examined during differentiation using [3H]-galactose and [3H]-glucosamine as precursors. Upon G7 contact glucosylceramide labeling increased and nLcOse5Cer labeling stopped. During membrane fusion, glucosylceramide labeling stopped and lactosylceramide became the major synthetic product. G8 cells presented a different pattern, with increased labeling of GbOse3Cer during myogenesis. The major ganglioside synthesized by both myoblasts was GM3, and more complex structures were observed following completion of myotube formation. Total glycopeptide labeling increased when G8 myoblasts fused and remained elevated in myotubes, whereas no differences during fusion of G7 cells were noted. Upon comparison of the two clonal lines, the only consistent observation was a significant increase in the synthesis of total gangliosides and neutral glycolipid during cell contact and membrane fusion (p < 0.02). The results suggest that changes in the synthesis of specific glycolipid structures during myogenesis are unique to each muscle cell line examined. However, transient increases in synthesis of total myoblast gangliosides and neutral glycolipids may be a more general phenomenon, possibly by curbing proliferation or by altering myoblast membrane fluidity characteristics during differentiation.Abbreviations MG6

The suppressive effect of gangliosides upon IL 2-dependent proliferation as a function of inhibition of IL 2-receptor association 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Gangliosides inhibited the proliferation of mitogen-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes and the IL 2-dependent growth of murine T cell lines and 5-day-old human PHA lymphoblasts. In the case of the murine cell lines and PHA lymphoblasts, most of the effect of gangliosides could be reversed by the addition of high levels of IL 2. In the case of freshly-stimulated mitogen blasts, however, the ganglioside-induced inhibition could not be reversed by increasing exogenous IL 2 levels. These results indicate that inhibition of proliferation by gangliosides can be divided into IL 2-reversible and IL 2-irreversible mechanisms, the latter of which were predominant during the initial stage of cellular activation. Inclusion of gangliosides in receptor binding assays for radiolabeled IL 2 indicated that the IL 2-reversible mechanism likely involved competition between gangliosides and the cellular receptor for the binding of IL 2. Gangliosides blocked binding of radiolabeled IL 2 to both the high and low affinity forms of the IL 2 receptor, and this effect was most noticeable when the gangliosides and IL 2 were preincubated before addition of the target cells. In contrast, treatment of cells with gangliosides had no effect on the affinity of the cellular IL 2 receptor if the free gangliosides were removed immediately before the binding assay. Gangliosides also blocked the binding of radiolabeled IL 2 to anti-IL 2 antibodies, supporting the notion that their inhibitory effect is mediated via a direct interaction with IL 2. Thus, one major mechanism by which gangliosides block the IL 2-dependent proliferation of activated cells is by the sequestering or inactivation of the IL 2 molecule. This effect is reversible with the addition of excess IL 2, which distinguishes it from other mechanisms of ganglioside-dependent inhibition operating during the cellular activation process. 相似文献

It is known that gangliosides, being ubiquitous membrane components, play important roles in cell-cell recognition, differentiation and transmembrane signalling. GM3, GM1 and GD1a were detected in the rat oviduct as major gangliosides by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. The total amounts of gangliosides from the oviducts at various times after hormone injection were not much changed. In order to identify their distribution and possible changes during ovulation, frozen sections of the rat oviducts were stained with specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the ganglio-series gangliosides. GM3 and GM1 were expressed in a different manner, but GD1a and other gangliosides were not immunohistochemically detected. In the ampullar region, GM3 was expressed in all the stroma and epithelial cells, but not GM1. GM1 was also not observed in epithelial cells. Staining by anti-GM1 monoclonal antibodies revealed long and minute thread-like structures in some of the stroma cells, whereas anti-GM3 monoclonal antibodies stained the entire cytoplasm, but not the nucleus, of all the stroma and epithelial cells. Other ganglio-series gangliosides, including GD1a, were not detected to some extent in the ampullar region by immunohistochemistry. Thus, these data suggest that GM3 and GM1 are oviduct-specific gangliosides. 相似文献

Identification of Disialosyl Paragloboside and O-Acetyldisialosyl Paragloboside in Cerebellum and Embryonic Cerebrum 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Abstract: The lacto series of glycolipids are only minor constituents in mammalian CNS and are found mostly during development. Expression of a significant amount (70 μg of neuraminic acid/g dry weight) of disialosyl-lacto- N -neotetraosylceramide (LD1) in adult mouse cerebellum is reported for the first time in the nervous system. The structure of this ganglioside was determined by hydrolysis with various glycosidases, immunochemical tests, sugar and fatty acid analyses after permethylation and capillary GLC-mass spectrometry, sugar linkage analysis of permethylated alditol acetates, and fast-atom bombardment-mass spectrometry of the native ganglioside. The structure of LD1 was determined to be NeuAc-NeuAc α 2-3Gal β 1-4GlcNAc β 1-3Gal β 1-4Glc β 1-1-ceramide. The major fatty acid was 18:0, and the long-chain base was C18 -sphingenine. Mouse cerebellum also contained O -acetyl-LD1 and several other O -acetylated gangliosides as recognized by monoclonal antibodies ME311 and 3G5. The levels of LD1 and O -acetyl-LD1 in cerebellum increased during postnatal development. During development of the Purkinje cell degeneration mutant, pcd/pcd , the levels of both of these gangliosides in the cerebellum declined with the loss of Purkinje cells, a finding indicating that these gangliosides are primarily associated with Purkinje cells. In the cortex, LD1, O -acetyl-LD1, and O -acetyl GD3, like GD3, are developmentally regulated antigens and are only expressed in the fetal cortex and not to any significant extent in the adult. 相似文献

1. A biochemical study was carried out on the protein-bound and lipid-bound sialic acid, and neuraminidase activity in the different tracts of the oviduct of the frog Rana esculenta during the reproductive cycle. 2. Plasma sexual steroids were also investigated by RIA. 3. Fluctuations in neuraminidase activity are related to that of glycoprotein sialic acid and plasma estradiol. Glycolipid sialic acid does not have a close relationship either with neuraminidase or plasma estradiol. 4. Very high plasma concentration of progesterone before ovulation and, on the contrary, its drop after ovulation were observed. 5. The results are discussed and hypotheses advanced to explain fluctuations of the studied parameters during the reproductive cycle. 相似文献

Bovine milk undergoes changes in its ganglioside contents during the different stages of lactation. These contents are higher in colostrum (7.5 mg of lipid-bound NeuAc/kg) than in transitional (2.3 mg) or mature (1.4 mg) milk. The sialic acid content of milk follows a similar profile to that of gangliosides with the highest content during the first few days post partum followed by a gradual decrease towards the end of the period studied. When the individual distribution of gangliosides was examined throughout the course of lactation, several changes were also found. GD3 is the major ganglioside (about 60-70%) found; its content decreases from the first to the fifth day, increasing towards the end of the period considered. GM3, GD3 and GT3, sialyllactosylceramide-containing gangliosides account for 80-90% of the total lipid-bound NeuAc content. The most striking change in the ganglioside pattern was the gradual increase in G3. 相似文献

Gangliosides in rat kidney were analyzed for their composition, regional distribution, and developmental changes. Renal tissue from 7-week-old rats showed a GM3-dominant pattern with GD3 and several minor ganglioside components including GM4, GM2, GD1a, and an unknown ganglioside (ganglioside X). The tissue also contained c-series gangliosides that included GT3 as the main component with GT2 in a lesser amount. Ganglioside analysis of cortical and medullary regions of renal tissue suggested the restricted localization of some gangliosides. While GM4 and GD3 were enriched in the cortical region, GM2 was distributed mainly in the medullary area. Renal gangliosides showed unique developmental profiles during a period from Embryonic Day 20 (E20) to 7 weeks postnatal. The content of renal gangliosides increased from E20, reached the highest around Postnatal Day 1, and thereafter, decreased rapidly to the adult level. The ratio of N-glycolylneuraminic acid to total sialic acids in gangliosides tended to change in inverse proportion to the amount of total sialic acids. The composition of major gangliosides in renal tissues shifted from GD3-dominant to GM3-dominant patterns with advancing ages. While GM1 was expressed only at early stages of the development, GM4, GM2, and ganglioside X appeared after Postnatal Day 3. The expression of c-series gangliosides was less affected through the period examined. These results suggest that gangliosides may be implicated with development and function of rat kidney. 相似文献

Ganglioside-modulated protein phosphorylation. Partial purification and characterization of a ganglioside-stimulated protein kinase in brain 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
K F Chan 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1987,262(11):5248-5255
Gangliosides have profound modulatory effects on protein phosphorylation in brain. A protein kinase activated directly by gangliosides has been partially purified from the particulate fractions of guinea pig brain through extraction with nonionic detergent, ion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, and gel filtration. This novel ganglioside-stimulated protein kinase is distinct from cAMP-dependent, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent, and Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinases. The partially purified kinase preparation could undergo ganglioside-stimulated autophosphorylation of a major phosphoprotein with Mr corresponding to 68,000. It also could phosphorylate exogenous substrates such as the synthetic peptide Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala Ser-Leu-Gly. The requirement of gangliosides for the activation of kinase activity is dose-dependent and specific. Among the various gangliosides tested, GT1b and GD1a were found to be the most potent activators, whereas GD1b and GM1 were slightly less effective. The activation process is rapid and does not require the presence of Ca2+, suggesting that the stimulatory effect of gangliosides is not mediated through limited proteolysis or Ca2+-glycolipid complexes. Although the exact physiological significance of the ganglioside-stimulated protein kinase is not known at present, it is possible that certain functions related to gangliosides in the nervous system are mediated through the activation of this novel enzyme. 相似文献

Ganglioside-deficient transformed mouse fibroblasts (NCTC 2071A cells), which grow in serum-free medium, synthesize fibronectin but do not retain it on the cell surface. When fluorescent derivatives of gangliosides, containing either rhodamine or Lucifer yellow CH attached to the sialic acid residues, were added to the culture medium, the cells incorporated the derivatives and their surfaces became highly fluorescent. When the cells were stained with anti-fibronectin antibodies and a fluorescent second antibody, fibrillar strands of fibronectin were observed to be attached to the cell surface, with partial coincidence of the patterns of direct ganglioside fluorescence and indirect fibronectin immunofluorescence at the cell surface. When the cells were exposed to bacterial neuraminidase during the time of ganglioside insertion, similar patterns of fluorescence were observed. Because the fluorescent gangliosides are resistant to the enzyme, these results suggest that neuraminidase-sensitive endogenous glycoconjugates were not involved in the ganglioside-mediated retention and organization of endogenous fibronectin. After cells were exposed to exogenous chicken fibronectin, most of the fibronectin was attached to the substratum and only a few fibrils were attached to the cells. When exogenous gangliosides were included in the incubation, there was a striking increase in cell-associated exogenous fibronectin, which was highly organized into a fibrillar network. Conversely, cells incubated for 18 h with exogenous unmodified gangliosides exhibited a highly organized network of endogenously derived fibronectin. Upon further incubation of the cells for 2 h with fluorescent gangliosides, there was considerable co-distribution of the fluorescent gangliosides with the fibronectin network as revealed by immunofluorescence. Our results support the concept that gangliosides can mediate the attachment of fibronectin to the cell surface and its organization into a fibrillar network. 相似文献

Abnormalities of ganglioside structure characterize the neoplastic state, and aberrant glycosylation has been implicated as underlying many new tumor ganglioside structures. However, variations in ceramide structure can also result in novel tumor gangliosides. To address systematically this aspect of ganglioside metabolism, we have initiated a study of the structures of the ceramide species of an oligosaccharide-homogeneous human tumor-derived ganglioside, GM2. The ganglioside was isolated from neuroblastoma tissue and purified by normal-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Marked ceramide heterogeneity was observed; 18 individual ceramide species of neuroblastoma GM2 were separated by reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography and collected. Their structures were determined by a combination of negative- and positive-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and collisionally activated dissociation tandem mass spectrometry of the underivatized gangliosides. The striking finding was the detection of alpha-hydroxylation of a significant fraction of each of the major fatty acid species (16:0, 18:0, 20:0, 22:0, and 24:1); alpha-hydroxylated species quantitatively represented almost one-fifth of the total tumor GM2 species. Fatty acyl hydroxylation was also detected in the ceramide of several other human tumor gangliosides. In contrast, as previously known, fatty acyl hydroxylation was not detected in the normal human brain gangliosides GM3, GM2, and GM1. We propose that aberrant fatty acid alpha-hydroxylation is a novel and sometimes quantitatively significant characteristic of human tumor ganglioside metabolism. 相似文献

The hexosamine pathway (HP) is a biochemical hypothesis recently proposed explaining cellular alterations occurring during diabetic microvascular complications. Diabetic retinopathy is a common microvascular complication of diabetes, and it is known that cell proliferation is severely affected during the development of the disease. Particularly, early stages are characterized by death of the retinal microvascular cells, pericytes. Gangliosides have often been described to regulate cell growth; however, very few studies focused on the potential role of gangliosides in diabetic microvascular alterations. The aim of this article was to investigate the effect of the HP activation on pericyte proliferation and determine the potential implication of gangliosides in this process. Results indicate first that HP activation, mimicked by glucosamine treatment, decreased pericyte proliferation. Second, glucosamine treatment induced a modification of gangliosides pattern, particularly GM1 and GD3 were significantly increased. Next, results showed that exogenous addition of a-series gangliosides (GM3, GM2, GM1, GD1a) and b-series ganglioside (GD3) caused a decrease of pericyte proliferation, whereas nonsialylated precursors glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide were without effect. Furthermore, when ganglioside biosynthesis was blocked using PPMP, a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor, the effects of glucosamine on pericyte proliferation were partially reversed. Our results suggest that in retinal pericytes, gangliosides and particularly GM1 and GD3 that are increased in response to glucosamine, are involved in the antiproliferative effect of glucosamine. These observations also underlie the potential involvement of gangliosides in a pathological context, such as diabetic microvascular complications. 相似文献
