Gangliosides as markers of cortisone-sensitive and cortisone-resistant rabbit thymocytes: characterization of thymus-specific gangliosides and preferential changes of particular gangliosides in the thymus of cortisone-treated rabbits.

Abstract:

:Neutral glycosphingolipids and gangliosides in rabbit thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and erythrocyte ghosts were analyzed by conventional chemical and enzymatic procedures and negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS). Thymus gangliosides showed a characteristic composition. Major gangliosides comprising 75% of the total thymus gangliosides were sialosyl lacto-N-neo-tetraosyl- and sialosyl lacto-N-nor-hexaosylceramides containing NeuGc and palmitic acid. These major thymus gangliosides were not detected in spleen, bone marrow, or erythrocytes, whereas GD1a, which was not present in the thymus even in a trace amount, was present in spleen and bone marrow. In addition, the major gangliosides in rabbit thymus were preferentially reduced when an animal was given an intraperitoneal injection of cortisone acetate, as found on analysis 48 h later. The decrease was accompanied by a concomitant increase in NeuAc-containing GM3 with longer chain fatty acids.
