Abstract

The two major glycosphingolipids of myelin, galactosylceramide (GalC) and sulfatide (SGC), interact with each other by trans carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions. They face each other in the apposed extracellular surfaces of the multilayered myelin sheath produced by oligodendrocytes (OLs). Multivalent galactose and sulfated galactose, in the form of GalC/SGC-containing liposomes or silica nanoparticles conjugated to galactose and galactose-3-sulfate, interact with GalC and SGC in the membrane sheets of OLs in culture. This stimulus results in transmembrane signaling, loss of the cytoskeleton and clustering of membrane domains, suggesting that GalC and SGC could participate in glycosynapses between apposed OL membranes or extracellular surfaces of mature myelin. Such glycosynapses may be important for myelination and/or myelin function.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
