摘要

Mice engineered to lack GM2/GD2 synthase (GalNAc-T), with resultant deficit of GM2, GD2, and all gangliotetraose gangliosides, were originally described as showing a relatively normal pheno- type with only a slight reduction in nerve conduction. However, a subsequent study showed that similar animals suffer axonal de- generation, myelination defects, and impaired motor coordination. We have examined the behavior of cerebellar granule neurons from these neonatal knockouts in culture and have found evidence of impaired capacity for Ca~2+ regulation. These cells showed relatively normal behavior when grown in the presence of phys- iological or moderately elevated K~+ but gradually degenerated in the presence of high K~+. This degeneration in depolarizing medium was accompanied by progressive elevation of intracellular calcium and onset of apoptosis, phenomena not observed with normal cells. No differences were detected in cells from normal vs. Het- erozygous mice. These findings suggest that neurons from Gal- NAc-T knockout mice are lacking a calcium regulatory mechanism that is modulated by one or more of the deleted gangliosides, and they support the hypothesis that maintenance of calcium ho- meostasis is one function of complex gangliosides during, and perhaps subsequent to, neuronal development.
