Abstract
Gangliozidi, složeni membranski glikosfingolipidi, sudjeluju u međustaničnim i unutarstaničnim interakcijama te imaju ključnu ulogu u patogenezi raznih neuroloških i neurodegenerativnih bolesti. Membranski protein, leptinski receptor (LepR), modulira ponašanje u hranjenju tako da utječe na signalizaciju i integraciju u mnogim područjima središnjeg živčanog sustava. Studije pokazuju da gangliozid a-serije mijenjaju aktivnost leptina interakcijom s LepR-om. Promjena sadržaja gangliozida također može utjecati na regulaciju funkcije Na⁺,K⁺-ATPaze (NKA), dok leptinski putovi mogu inhibirati NKA. Naš je cilj bio rasvijetliti kako izmijenjeni sastav gangliozida u staničnoj membrani utječe na ekspresiju LepR-a, ekspresiju i aktivnost NKA te koncentraciju kolesterola u mišjem talamusu. Koristili smo St8sia1 null model miša, kojemu nedostaje GD3-sintaza i stoga ne sintetizira b- i c-seriju gangliozida, već umjesto toga sintetizira više a-serije gangliozida u usporedbi s divljim tipom (WT) miševa. Ispitane su obje izoforme, 125 kDa i 100 kDa LepR-a. Analizirali smo proteinsku ekspresiju metodom Western blot za LepR i NKA u uzorcima talamusa. Osim toga, mjerili smo enzimsku aktivnost NKA kod St8sia1 null u usporedbi s WT miševima te izmjerili koncentraciju kolesterola u talamusu istih životinja s obzirom da je poznato da gangliozidni sastav utječe na metabolizam kolesterola, a kolesterol utječe na enzimsku aktivnost NKA. Rezultati su pokazali veće količine NKA i manje količine obje izoforme LepR-a u uzorcima talamusa kod St8sia1 null miševa u usporedbi s WT miševima. Enzimska aktivnost NKA bila je manja u uzorcima talamusa St8sia1 null miševa u usporedbi s WT miševima, dok je koncentracija kolesterola bila veća. Stoga zaključujemo da izmijenjen sastav gangliozida utječe na obilježja NKA i LepR-a, praćeno manjom enzimskom aktivnošću NKA u mišjem talamusu, sugerirajući značajnu povezanost između leptinskog receptora i NKA u raznolikom glikolipidnom okruženju.
Abstract (english)
Gangliosides, complex membrane glycosphingolipids, engage in a variety of inter- and intracellular interactions and play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Another membrane constituent, leptin receptor (LepR), modulates feeding behavior by influencing signaling and integration in many regions of the central nervous system. Studies show that a-series gangliosides alter leptin activity by interacting with LepR. The redistribution of gangliosides can also influence the regulation of the Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase (NKA) function, whereas leptin pathways can inhibit NKA. Our aim was to deepen the understanding of how altered ganglioside profile impacts the expression of LepR, the expression and activity of NKA, as well as cholesterol concentration in mouse thalamus. We used the St8sia1 null mouse model, which lacks GD3 synthase and consequently does not synthesize b-series gangliosides, but instead synthesizes more a-series gangliosides compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Both isoforms, 125 kDa and 100 kDa of LepR, were explored. We used protein expression analysis by Western blotting for LepR and NKA in thalamus samples. In addition, the enzyme activity of NKA was measured in null compared to WT mice, as well as cholesterol concentration, since according to literature ganglioside composition affects cholesterol metabolism, and cholesterol affects NKA activity. Results revealed higher amounts of NKA and lower amounts of both LepR isoforms in thalamus samples of the null mice compared to their WTs. Enzyme activity of NKA was lower in thalamus samples of null mice compared to their WTs, however cholesterol concentration was higher. Therefore, altered ganglioside composition differentially affects NKA and LepR abundance, accompanied by lower NKA enzyme activity in the mouse thalamus, suggesting a noteworthy connection between leptin receptor and NKA ion transporter in a diverse glycolipid milieu.
