Myelination in the Absence of Galactocerebroside and Sulfatide: Normal Structure with Abnormal Function and Regional Instability
The vertebrate nervous system is characterized by ensheathment of axons with myelin, a multilamellar membrane greatly enriched in the galactolipid galactocerebroside (GalC) and its sulfated… Expand

Mouse models of Tay–Sachs and Sandhoff diseases differ in neurologic phenotype and ganglioside metabolism
Tay–Sachs and Sandhoff diseases are clinically similar neurodegenerative disorders. These two sphingolipidoses are characterized by a heritable absence of β–hexosaminidase A resulting in defective… Expand

Paranodal junction formation and spermatogenesis require sulfoglycolipids
Mammalian sulfoglycolipids comprise two major members, sulfatide (HSO3-3-galactosylceramide) and seminolipid (HSO3-3-monogalactosylalkylacylglycerol). Sulfatide is a major lipid component of the… Expand

TNFα promotes proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitors and remyelination
Here we used mice lacking tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and its associated receptors to study a model of demyelination and remyelination in which these events could be carefully controlled using a… Expand

PART 16 : LYSOSOMAL DISORDERS Chapter 145 : Niemann-Pick Disease Type C : A Lipid Trafficking Disorder
1. Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) is an autosomal recessive lipidosis with protean clinical manifestations, distinguished biochemically by a unique error in cellular trafficking of exogenous… Expand

Oligodendrocytes and progenitors become progressively depleted within chronically demyelinated lesions.
To understand mechanisms that may underlie the progression of a demyelinated lesion to a chronic state, we have used the cuprizone model of chronic demyelination. In this study, we investigated the… Expand

Consequences of NPC1 and NPC2 loss of function in mammalian neurons.
Genetic deficiency of NPC1 or NPC2 results in a devastating cholesterol-glycosphingolipidosis of brain and other organs known as Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease. While NPC1 is a transmembrane… Expand

A Myelin Galactolipid, Sulfatide, Is Essential for Maintenance of Ion Channels on Myelinated Axon But Not Essential for Initial Cluster Formation
Myelinated axons are divided into four distinct regions: the node of Ranvier, paranode, juxtaparanode, and internode, each of which is characterized by a specific set of axonal proteins.… Expand

Functional Genomic Analysis of Remyelination Reveals Importance of Inflammation in Oligodendrocyte Regeneration
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), a proinflammatory cytokine, was shown previously to promote remyelination and oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation in a murine model for demyelination and… Expand

Peripheral macrophage recruitment in cuprizone-induced CNS demyelination despite an intact blood–brain barrier
The contribution of peripheral macrophage was assessed in cuprizone intoxication, a model of demyelination and remyelination in which the blood-brain barrier remains intact. Flow cytometry of brain… Expand
