Multiparametric MRI and imaging transcriptomics reveal brain-wide changes in GD3 synthase deficiency

Katarina Ilić, Eugene Kim, Kristina Mlinac, Camilla Simmons, Borna Puljko, Marta Balog, Marija Heffer, Diana Cash, Ivana Rosenzweig, Svjetlana Kalanj Bognar

The paper uses MRI and transcriptomic data from a GD3 synthase-deficient mouse model to identify molecular correlates of brain structural differences.

GD3 synthase deficiency disrupts Na+/K+-ATPase and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase function in mouse brain

Borna Puljko, Nikolina Maček Hrvat, Katarina Ilić, Ana Ujevic, Eva Josić, Mario Stojanović, Tadeja Režen, Klementina Fon Tacer, Damjana Rozman, Marta Balog, Marija Heffer, Svjetlana Kalanj Bognar, Kristina Mlinac

This study shows GD3S deficiency disrupts NKA and PMCA function in mouse brain by altering ganglioside and lipid raft composition, suggesting therapeutic potential through exogenous ganglioside administration.

Disruption of the ganglioside-plasma membrane calcium ATPase-neuroplastin nexus leads to impaired calcium homeostasis in glioblastoma

Borna Puljko, Anja Kafka, Nikolina Maček Hrvat, Anja Bukovac, Niko Njirić, Antonia Jakovčević, Vinka Potočki, Fran Dumančić, Ana Karla Vodanović, Ana Ujevic, Eva Josic, Svjetlana Kalanj-Bognar, Kristina Mlinac, Nives Pećina‐Šlaus

The paper identifies a disrupted gangliosides-PMCA-neuroplastin complex in glioblastoma that impairs calcium homeostasis, with GD3 as a key determinant.
