    An increasing amount of evidence indicates that the disialoganglioside GD3 is involved in apoptosis in many cell lines. Our previous studies demonstrated that endogenous GD3 expression induced apoptosis in U-1242 MG glioma cells transfected with the GD3 synthase gene (U1242MG-GD3 cells). In this paper, we present further investigations on the molecular mechanisms of GD3-induced apoptosis in this cell line. We found that endogenously synthesized GD3 localizes to the caveolae of this cell line, where it promotes the localization of death receptor 5 (DR5), tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNF-R1), and Fas (Apo-1) to the caveolae. In addition, caspase-8 was translocated to the caveolar fraction and cleaved; the cleaved proteins were then re-located into the high density fractions. However, GD3 had no effect on the distribution of the adapter protein Fas-associated death domain (FADD). We conclude that GD3 functions as a regulatory molecule early in the extrinsic apoptosis pathway.
