After the discovery of glycosphingolipid (GSL) glycan detaching enzymes, Rhodococcal endoglycoceramidase (EGCase) and leech ceramide glycanase (CGase), the method for enzymatically releasing glycans from GSLs has become the method of choice for preparing intact ceramide-free oligosaccharide chains from GSLs. This paper describes (1) the preparation of the intact oligosaccharides from GM1 (II(3)NeuAcGgOse(4)Cer) and GbOse(4)Cer as examples to show the use of CGase to prepare intact glycan chains from GSLs, and (2) the specificity and detergent requirements of Rhodococcal EGCases for the release of glycan chains from different GSLs.

Glucosylceramide synthase (UGCG) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the initial glycosylation step in the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) derived from glucosylceramide. UGCG is closely associated with various cellular processes, including the cell cycle, angiogenesis, multidrug resistance, and pathogen invasion. In this study, a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) library designed to target key genes involved in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway was utilized to elucidate their roles in Pseudorabies Virus (PRV).

Fascioliasis, a zoonotic disease caused by liver flukes of the genus , poses significant health threats to both humans and livestock. While some infections remain asymptomatic, others can lead to fatal outcomes, particularly during the acute phase characterized by the migration of immature parasites causing severe liver damage. Through the combination of data acquired via high-spatial-resolution atmospheric-pressure scanning microprobe matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (AP-SMALDI MSI) and nanohydrophilic interaction chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, we investigated glycosphingolipids (GSLs) in both adult and immature parasite stages as well as the host liver and bile duct to unravel the intricacies of the host-pathogen interplay and associated pathology.

Article Synopsis
- * A new method using photoinduced enrichment-deglycosylation has been developed to improve the detection of GSLs within a mass spectrometry system by selectively removing sugar groups and enhancing their visibility.
- * This innovative technique significantly increased GSL detection coverage (by 9-fold) and identified more lipid types in single neurons, revealing that certain GSLs changed notably after nerve injury.

Circulating neutral glycosphingolipids (neutral GSLs (nGSLs)) are a unique subset of nGSLs that detach from organs or cell membranes and enter the bloodstream. Altered molecular distribution of circulating nGSL is increasingly associated with diseases. However, profiling of circulating nGSLs presents a lasting challenge due to their low abundances and structural complexity.
