Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the biological significance of the lactosylceramide (LacCer) branching in glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis, we established ganglioside GM3- and lactosylsulfatide SM3-reconstituted cells by introducing the GM3 synthase gene and the sulfotransferase gene, respectively. In SM3-expressing cells, the reduction of beta1 integrin mRNA expression, the reduced adhesivity to fibronectin and laminin, and...
