Abstrakt: | GM1 gangliosidosis is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the GLB1 gene, which encodes lysosomal β-galactosidase. The enzyme deficiency blocks GM1 ganglioside catabolism, leading to accumulation of GM1 ganglioside and asialo-GM1 ganglioside (GA1 glycolipid) in brain. This disease can present in varying degrees of severity, with the level of residual β-galactosidase activity primarily determining the clinical course. Glb1 null mouse models, which completely lack β-galactosidase expression, exhibit a less severe form of the disease than expected from the comparable deficiency in humans, suggesting a potential species difference in the GM1 ganglioside degradation pathway. We hypothesized this difference may involve the sialidase NEU3, which acts on GM1 ganglioside to produce GA1 glycolipid. To test this hypothesis, we generated Glb1/Neu3 double KO (DKO) mice. These mice had a significantly shorter lifespan, increased neurodegeneration, and more severe ataxia than Glb1 KO mice. Glb1/Neu3 DKO mouse brains exhibited an increased GM1 ganglioside to GA1 glycolipid ratio compared with Glb1 KO mice, indicating that NEU3 mediated GM1 ganglioside to GA1 glycolipid conversion in Glb1 KO mice. The expression of genes associated with neuroinflammation and glial responses were enhanced in Glb1/Neu3 DKO mice compared with Glb1 KO mice. Mouse NEU3 more efficiently converted GM1 ganglioside to GA1 glycolipid than human NEU3 did. Our findings highlight NEU3's role in ameliorating the consequences of Glb1 deletion in mice, provide insights into NEU3's differential effects between mice and humans in GM1 gangliosidosis, and offer a potential therapeutic approach for reducing toxic GM1 ganglioside accumulation in GM1 gangliosidosis patients.
