| Abstract | Anti-ganglioside antibodies (Abs) are strongly associated with axonal forms of Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS). Some studies indicate that these Abs, including those with GD1a reactivity, are associated with poor prognosis and/or incomplete recovery. We recently demonstrated that a disease-relevant anti-ganglioside Ab with GD1a reactivity inhibits axon regeneration after PNS injury in an animal model (Lehmann et al., 2007). An implication of these findings is that anti-GD1a Abs can mediate inhibition of axon regeneration and limit recovery in some patients with GBS. The downstream inhibitory intracellular signaling that mediates anti-ganglioside Ab-induced axon inhibition remains unclear. In the current study, we show that disease-relevant and GBS patient's anti-ganglioside Abs can inhibit neurite outgrowth in dissociated primary neuronal cultures. Activation of small GTPase RhoA and its key downstream effector Rho kinase (ROCK) are critical mediators of growth cone and neurite outgrowth inhibition. Therefore, we examined the role of these intracellular signaling molecules in our primary neuronal cultures by molecular and pharmacologic approaches. Our results show that the Ab-mediated inhibition of neurite outgrowth involves the activation of RhoA and ROCK pathway and this activation is through the engagement of specific cell-surface gangliosides by Abs. In summary, these studies directly link patient autoantibodies to an intracellular inhibitory signaling pathway involved in anti-ganglioside Ab-mediated inhibition of neurite outgrowth. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
