Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been applied primarily to the analysis of glycosphingolipids separated from other complex mixtures by TLC, but it is difficult to obtain quantitative profiling of each glycosphingolipid among the different spots on TLC by MALDI-MS. Thus, the development of a convenient approach that utilizes liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization (LC/ESI)-MS has received interest. However, previously reported methods have been insufficient to separate and distinguish each ganglioside class. Here we report an effective method for the targeted analysis of theoretically expected ganglioside molecular species by LC/ESI tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) in combination with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). MRM detection specific for sialic acid enabled us to analyze ganglioside standards such as GM1, GM2, GM3, GD1, and GT1 at picomolar to femtomolar levels. Furthermore, other gangliosides, such as GD2, GD3, GT2, GT3, and GQ1, were also detected in glycosphingolipid standard mixtures from porcine brain and acidic glycolipid extract from mouse brain by theoretically expanded MRM. We found that this approach was also applicable to sulfatides contained in the glycosphingolipid mixtures. In addition, we established a method to separate and distinguish regioisomeric gangliosides, such as GM1a and -1b, GD1a, -1b, and -1c, and GT1a, -1b, and -1c with diagnostic sugar chains in the MRM.
