Disease relevance of NEU3

  • Here we demonstrate that mice overexpressing the human ortholog (NEU3) develop diabetic phenotype by 18-22 weeks associated with hyperinsulinemia, islet hyperplasia, and increased beta-cell mass [1].
  • In clear contrast to the NEU3 case, the levels of mRNA for this sialidase were found by quantitative RT-PCR to be markedly decreased in colon cancers [2].
  • Here we demonstrate that NEU3 mRNA level are increased in renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues, significantly correlating with elevation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pleiotropic cytokine that has been implicated in immune responses and pathogenesis of several cancers, including RCCs [3].
  • Lysosomal and plasma membrane sialidase activities in lymphocytes were studied in four patients with sialidosis with partial beta-galactosidase deficiency, four obligate heterozygotes, and three siblings of a patient [4].
  • Effects of cell surface ganglioside sialidase inhibition on growth control and differentiation of human neuroblastoma cells [5].
 

High impact information on NEU3

  • Up-regulation of plasma membrane-associated ganglioside sialidase (Neu3) in human colon cancer and its involvement in apoptosis suppression [6].
  • Human plasma membrane-associated sialidase (Neu3) is unique in specifically hydrolyzing gangliosides, thought to participate in cell differentiation and transmembrane signaling, thereby playing crucial roles in the regulation of cell surface functions [6].
  • Accumulation of GM3 and GM2 gangliosides was found in sympathetic ganglia but a catabolic disturbance of these gangliosides was ruled out by normal levels of GM3 ganglioside sialidase and N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase A activities. beta-Galactosidase activity was decreased in leukocytes and fibroblasts, but not in serum [7].
  • In human RCC ACHN cells, IL-6 treatment enhanced NEU3 promoter luciferase activity 2.5-fold and the endogenous sialidase activity significantly [3].
  • Consistent with these data, NEU3 markedly inhibited staurosporine-induced caspase-3 activity and enhanced IL-6-dependent inhibition, which was abolished by LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor [3].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NEU3

 

Biological context of NEU3

  • Transient transfection of NEU3 into 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myocytes caused a significant decrease in IR signaling [1].
  • In response to insulin, NEU3 was found to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent association with the Grb2 protein, thus being activated and causing negative regulation of insulin signaling [1].
  • Here we describe the identification and expression of a human plasma-membrane-associated sialidase, NEU3, isolated starting from an expressed sequence tag (EST) clone [10].
  • The polypeptide contains all the typical sialidase amino acid motifs and, apart from an amino acid stretch that appears unique among mammalian sialidases, shows a high degree of homology for NEU2 and the plasma membrane-associated (NEU3) sialidases [11].
  • Particularly, increased expression of NEU3 has been implicated in the survival of various cancer cells and also in the development of insulin resistance [12].
