Three types of glycosphingolipid (GSL) component profiles have been established for human intracranial gliomas. GSL-type I shows only Glac- and lacto-series-sialoglycolipids. Type II consist of Glac- and Gtri-gangliosides, whereas only GSL-type III contains sulphatide and, as a major neutral glycolipid, galactocerebroside, besides gangliosides of the Glac-, Gtri-, and Gtet-families. Whole gliomas of malignancy grading I/II, III and IV, display GSL-Types III, II, and I, respectively. Thus, the GSL component distribution of the samples taken after surgery from three individual gliomas and two biopsies correlate closely with the general diagnosis of these tumours. Arthrobacter ureafaciens sialidase was used for the characterization of gangliosides. GSL-type analysis of multiple regional samples, taken from necropsy and biopsy, were determined by microanalysis of microscopic cryostat section, and shown to be in good agreement with their histology. The results validate the relevance of tumour ganglioside analysis for the characterization and diagnosis of gliomas.
