(A) TLC of the constituents of the Gb3Cer and Gb4Cer bands isolated from well- (bands T1 and G1) and poorly (bands T2 and G2) differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma. Neutral glycolipids were isolated from the total neutral lipid fraction as described in Materials and methods. The total neutral glycolipids and the isolated glycolipids were developed with chloroform/methanol/water (65:35:8, v/v) and visualized with orcinol-H2S04 reagent. Lanes Well and Poorly correspond to the total neutral glycolipids in well- and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively. Lanes T1, T2, G1 and G2 are the isolated neutral glycolipids from the three bands of Gb3Cer and the band of Gb4Cer, respectively. (B) TLC schema of T1, T2, G1 and G2. TLC, thin-layer chromatography; GlcCer, glucosylceramide; LacCer, lactosylceramide; Gb3Cer, globotriaosylceramide; Gb4Cer, globotetraosylceramide; Lc4Cer, lactotetraosyl ceramide.
