Abstract
The importance of altered glycosphingolipid (GSL) metabolism is increasingly gaining attention as a characteristic of multiple chronic kidney diseases. Previously, we reported elevated levels of GSLs and neuraminidase (NEU) enzyme activity/expression in the urine or kidney of lupus patients and lupus-prone mice, and demonstrated NEU activity mediates the production of cytokines by lupus-prone mouse primary mesangial cells. This mediation occurs in part through TLR4 and p38/ERK MAPK signalling in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lupus serum (LS). However, the precise role of NEU1, the most abundant NEU in the kidney, is incompletely known. In this study, we investigated the effect of genetically reduced Neu1 levels in vitro and in vivo. Mesangial cells from non-autoimmune prone Neu1+/- C57BL/6 mice had significantly reduced NEU activity, cytokine expression and cytokine secretion in response to LS and LPS, thereby suggesting reducing Neu1 expression may reduce the inflammatory response in lupus nephritis. Disease was assessed in female B6.SLE1/2/3 lupus-prone mice with genetically reduced levels (Neu1+/-) or wild-type levels (Neu1+/+) of Neu1 from 28 to 44 weeks of age along with aged-matched C57BL/6 controls. Renal disease was unexpectedly mild in all B6.SLE1/2/3 mice despite evidence of systemic disease. B6.SLE1/2/3 Neu1+/- mice exhibited significantly reduced levels of renal NEU1 expression and changes in renal α-2,6 linked sialylated N-glycans compared to the Neu1+/+ or healthy C57BL/6 mice, but measures of renal and systemic disease were similar between the B6.SLE1/2/3 Neu1+/+ and Neu1+/- mice. We conclude that NEU1 is the NEU largely responsible for mediating cytokine release by mesangial cells, at least in vitro, but may not be involved in modulating renal GSL levels in vivo or impact onset of nephritis in lupus-prone mice. However, the effect of reduced NEU1 levels on disease may not be appreciated in the mild disease expression in our colony of B6.SLE1/2/3 mice. The impact of the altered renal sialylated N-glycan levels and potential role of NEU1 with respect to established nephritis (late disease) in lupus-prone mice bears further investigation.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) hexosylceramides and lactosylceramides are elevated in lupus mice and human patients with nephritis. Whereas other renal diseases characterized by increased GSL levels are thought to be a result of upregulated GSL synthesis, our results suggest elevated hexosylceramides and lactosylceramides in lupus nephritis is a result of increased catabolism of ganglioside GM3 due to significantly increased neuraminidase (NEU) activity. Thus, we hypothesized GM3 would be decreased in lupus nephritis kidneys and blocking NEU activity would reduce GSLs and improve disease in lupus mice. Female MRL/lpr lupus mice were treated with water or the NEU inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate at the onset of proteinuria to block GSL catabolism. Age-matched (non-nephritic) female MRL/MpJ lupus mice served as controls. Renal GM3 levels were significantly higher in the nephritic MRL/lpr water-treated mice compared to non-nephritic MRL/MpJ mice, despite significantly increased renal NEU activity. Blocking GSL catabolism increased, rather than decreased, renal and urine GSL levels and disease was not significantly impacted. A pilot study treating MRL/lpr females with GlcCer synthase inhibitor Genz-667161 to block GSL synthesis resulted in a strong significant negative correlation between Genz-667161 dose and renal GSL hexosylceramide and GM3 levels. Splenomegaly was negatively correlated and serum IgG levels were marginally correlated with increasing Genz-667161 dose. These results suggest accumulation of renal GM3 may be due to dysregulation of one or more of the GSL ganglioside pathways and inhibiting GSL synthesis, but not catabolism, may be a therapeutic approach for treating lupus nephritis.

Abstract
Gangliosides are multifunctional molecules, abundantly expressed in renal cell membrane but also in sera of patients with renal disease. The aim of this study was to quantify the serum levels of sialic acid-ganglioside in patients diagnosed with diabetes for an eventual biomarker stratification of patients with renal complications. We included 35 diabetic patients without metabolic complications, 35 patients with diabetic nephropathy, 35 non-diabetic individuals. We found that sialic acid ganglioside serum level was significantly increased in patients with diabetic nephropathy compared to the level obtained in patients with uncomplicated diabetes and to non-diabetic controls. A statistically significant positive correlation was obtained between serum levels of sialic acid gangliosides, HbA1c, and serum creatinine in patients with diabetes without complications. Moreover positive correlation was found between sialic acid ganglioside and blood glucose, HbA1c, urea, creatinine, microalbuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We can conclude that serum sialic acid-gangliosides are statistically increased in diabetic nephropathy positively correlated with microalbuminuria.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are involved in the development of microvascular complications, including alterations of retinal pericyte and renal mesangial cell growth occurring during diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy, respectively. Because gangliosides are implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation, we hypothesized that AGEs could exert cellular effects in part by modulating ganglioside levels. Results of the present study indicate that AGEs caused an inhibition of both bovine retinal pericyte (BRP) and rat renal mesangial cell (RMC) proliferation, associated with an increase of a-series gangliosides consecutive to GM3 synthase activity increase and GD3 synthase activity inhibition. Similar modifications were also found in the renal cortex of diabetic db/db mice compared with controls. Treatment of BRP and RMC with exogenous a-series gangliosides decreased proliferation and blockade of a-series gangliosides with specific antibodies partially protecting the two cell types from the AGE-induced proliferation decrease. Further, inhibition of GM3 synthase using specific SiRNA partially reversed the AGE effects on mesangial cell proliferation. These results suggest that a-series gangliosides are mediators of the adverse AGE effects on BRP and RMC proliferation. They also raise the hypothesis of common mechanisms involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
We recently identified ganglioside GM3 as a modulator of glomerular hypertrophy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (Life Sci., 72: 1997-2006, 2003). This study examined whether alteration of ganglioside GM3 expression could modulate the high glucose-induced proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs). GMCs isolated from rat kidneys were cultured under normal (5.6 mM) or high (25 mM) glucose condition for 24-72 hrs. Cell proliferation was predominantly stimulated when GMCs were cultured with high glucose as well as 20 microM of d-threo-PDMP, an inhibitor of ganglioside biosynthesis, for 24 hrs, whereas raising ambient glucose significantly reduced the mesangial sialic acid contents. Based upon mobility on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), GMCs showed a complex pattern of ganglioside expression that consisted of three major components of gangliosides, mainly GM3. High glucose induced a significant reduction of ganglioside expression with apparent changes in the composition of major ganglioside GM3, and semi-quantitative analysis by HPTLC showed that ganglioside GM3 was reduced to 62% of GMCs cultured under normal glucose condition. A prominent immunofluorescence microscopy using anti-GM3 monoclonal antibody also showed a dramatic disappearance of immunoreactivity in high glucose-treated GMCs. Moreover, high glucose significantly lowered the Km values of GM3 synthase (16 microM vs. 49 microM), but did not change the Vmax. These results provide the pathophysiological relationship between the high glucose-induced proliferation of GMCs and the decreased expression of ganglioside GM3, indicating a mechanism for the negative regulation of mesangial proliferation by ganglioside GM3. This mechanism may play an important role in the development of diabetic glomerulopathy.

Abstract
The homeostasis of the central nervous system is highly controlled by glial cells and is dramatically altered in the case of glioma. In this respect, the complex connection between cell size and division is of particular importance and needs clarifying. In order to investigate this connection, cell number and volume were measured in C6 rat glioma cells under different experimental conditions, including continuous cell culture, Cl- channel blockade, and anisotonicity, and in the presence of an inhibitory conditioned medium collected from cell cultures or in a medium containing a low level of fetal calf serum. The rate of cell proliferation changed with cell volume in a bell-shaped manner, so that it is optimal within a cell volume window and appears to be controlled by low and high cell size checkpoints. The cell size-proliferation relationship can be defined by Boltzmann-like equations, which may reflect the effects of macromolecular crowding on proteins controlling the cell cycle progression. Altogether, these observations indicate that glioma cell proliferation is controlled predominantly but not exclusively by cell size-dependent mechanisms.

Abstract
Transfection studies have implicated the multiple drug resistance pump, MDR1, as a glucosyl ceramide translocase within the Golgi complex (Lala, P., Ito, S., and Lingwood, C. A. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 6246-6251). We now show that MDR1 inhibitors, cyclosporin A or ketoconazole, inhibit neutral glycosphingolipid biosynthesis in 11 of 12 cell lines tested. The exception, HeLa cells, do not express MDR1. Microsomal lactosyl ceramide and globotriaosyl ceramide synthesis from endogenous or exogenously added liposomal glucosyl ceramide was inhibited by cyclosporin A, consistent with a direct role for MDR1/glucosyl ceramide translocase activity in their synthesis. In contrast, cellular ganglioside synthesis in the same cells, was unaffected by MDR1 inhibition, suggesting neutral and acid glycosphingolipids are synthesized from distinct precursor glycosphingolipid pools. Metabolic labeling in wild type and knock-out (MDR1a, 1b, MRP1) mouse fibroblasts showed the same loss of neutral glycosphingolipid (glucosyl ceramide, lactosyl ceramide) but not ganglioside (GM3) synthesis, confirming the proposed role for MDR1 translocase activity. Cryo-immunoelectron microscopy showed MDR1 was predominantly intracellular, largely in rab6-containing Golgi vesicles and Golgi cisternae, the site of glycosphingolipid synthesis. These studies identify MDR1 as the major glucosyl ceramide flippase required for neutral glycosphingolipid anabolism and demonstrate a previously unappreciated dichotomy between neutral and acid glycosphingolipid synthesis.

Abstract
The regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is important in several cellular events, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that can regulate RTK activity. The addition of ganglioside GM1 to the medium of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts inhibits both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of PDGF receptor beta (PDGFRbeta) and receptor-mediated endocytosis. However, GM1 did not affect PDGF-mediated receptor phosphorylation, neuritogenesis, or endocytosis in PC12 cells stably transfected with the gene for PDGFRbeta. The ability of GM1 to modulate PDGFRbeta in 3T3 cells but not in transfected PC12 cells indicates a cell context-dependent response. We hypothesized that this inhibition of PDGFRbeta by GM1 must map to one or more domains of the receptor. Thus, a chimeric receptor was created that possessed the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor TrkA and the cytoplasmic domain of PDGFRbeta (TTbeta). In 3T3 cells transfected with the TTbeta construct, GM1 did not inhibit NGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the chimeric receptor or of Erk1/2 in this cell line. GM1 still inhibited PDGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of endogenous PDGFRbeta and of Erk1/2 in Swiss TTbeta cells. Thus, the cytoplasmic domain of PDGFRbeta is not required for GM1-dependent inhibition of PDGFRbeta in 3T3 cells. This suggests that the inhibition of PDGFRbeta by GM1 in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts maps to either the extracellular and/or transmembrane domain of PDGFRbeta.

Abstract
Ganglioside GM(3) (NeuAcalpha3Galbeta4Glcbeta1Cer) is known to regulate the proliferation of many cell types and to maintain the charge-selective filtration barrier of glomeruli. Based on these, this study examined whether altered expression of ganglioside GM(3) was pathologically related with glomerular hypertrophy and proteinuria occurring in diabetic human and rat kidneys. Diabetic rats were produced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (80 mg/kg, I.P.). At 15 days after the induction of diabetes, glomerular volume and fibrotic matrix were dramatically elevated, whereas glomerular sialic acid contents were significantly reduced compared with control. Based upon mobility on high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and reactivity to anti-GM(3) monoclonal antibody, normal glomeruli showed a complex ganglioside pattern that consisted of six different components of gangliosides, mainly GM(3), and diabetes caused a severe reduction of these gangliosides with apparent changes in the composition of major ganglioside GM(3). Semi-quantitative analysis by HPTLC showed that ganglioside GM(3) was reduced to 57% of control in diabetic glomeruli. A prominent immunofluorescence microscopy showed a dramatic disappearance of GM(3) expression in diabetic glomeruli. These results indicate that diabetic glomeruli can be characterized by decreases of glomerular sialic acid content and ganglioside GM(3) expression, which may cause loss of charge-selective filtration barrier in renal glomeruli. These changes may be account, at least in part, for the development of glomerular hypertrophy and proteinuria seen in the early stage of diabetic glomerulopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apoptosis of glomerular mesangial cells is a common feature in several types of glomerular diseases. However, its pathophysiologic significance is not known. We recently identified gangliosides as a major growth-inhibitory substance in the conditioned medium of mesangial cells. In this report, we tested whether biologically distinct forms of cell fate, apoptosis and necrosis, could modulate ganglioside shedding from mesangial cells. METHODS Mesangial cells were exposed to low (10 to 40 mJ/cm2) and high (400 mJ/cm2) doses of ultraviolet light to induce apoptosis and necrosis, respectively. Conditioned media were collected and examined for its growth-inhibitory activity for mesangial cells. Ganglioside shedding was analyzed using metabolic labeling and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). RESULTS Shedding of gangliosides as well as growth-inhibitory activity in the conditioned medium predominantly increased when mesangial cells were undergoing apoptosis in contrast to that of viable or necrotic mesangial cells. The inhibitory substance in the conditioned medium from apoptotic mesangial cells completely fulfilled the characteristic criteria of gangliosides. This substance was less than 3 kD and was sensitive to neuraminidase digestion. Shedding of gangliosides from mesangial cells reduced significantly when apoptosis was inhibited by overexpression of antiapoptotic gene, Bcl-XL. In addition, ganglioside shedding also increased when mesangial cells were exposed to other inducers of apoptosis for mesangial cells (i.e., H2O2 and staurosporin). CONCLUSION These results provide the novel link between masangial cell apoptosis and increased release of gangliosides that potentially suppress mesangial cell proliferation and thus indicate a mechanism for the negative regulation of mesangial cell growth by apoptosis.
