Abstract

Oligomannosidic glycans play important roles in nervous system development and function. By performing a phage display screening with oligomannose-specific antibodies, we identified an oligomannose-mimicking peptide that was functionally active in modulating neurite outgrowth and neuron–astrocyte adhesion. Using the oligomannose-mimicking peptide in crosslinking experiments, synapsin I was identified as a novel oligomannose-binding protein in mouse brain. Further analyses not only verified that synapsin I is an oligomannose-binding lectin, but also indicated that it is a glycoprotein carrying oligomannose and Lewis x. We also found that synapsin I is expressed in glia-enriched cultures and is released from glial cells via exosomes. Incubation of glial-derived exosomes in the presence of high KCl concentrations or subjecting glial cell cultures to either oxygen/glucose deprivation or hydrogen peroxide resulted in release of synapsin I from exosomes. Application of synapsin I promoted neurite outgrowth from hippocampal neurons and increased survival of cortical neurons upon hydrogen peroxide treatment or oxygen/glucose deprivation. Coculture experiments using wild-type hippocampal neurons and wild-type or synapsin-deficient glial cells showed enhanced neurite outgrowth when synapsin was expressed by glial cells. Synapsin-induced neurite outgrowth was dependent on oligomannose on synapsin I and the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM at the neuronal cell surface. The data indicate that, under conditions of high neuronal activity and/or oxidative stress, synapsin can be released from glial-derived exosomes and promotes neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival by modulating the interactions between glia and neurons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
