The ceramide and sphingomyelin species of cultured differentiated rat cerebellar granule cells and human fibroblasts were characterised by electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). We identified 35 different species of ceramide and 18 of sphingomyelin in human fibroblasts and 35 different species of ceramide and 9 of sphingomyelin were characterized in rat neurons . The main ceramide species of rat cerebellar granule cells contained d18:1 sphingosine linked with palmitic, stearic or nervonic fatty acid and the two main sphingomyelin species were d18:1,16:0 and d18:1,18:0. Both sphingolipids were enriched in detergent resistant membranes (DRMs or lipid rafts), and significant differences were found in the sphingolipid patterns of DRMs and of detergent soluble fraction (DSF) from these cells. In human fibroblasts the main ceramide species were d18:1,16:0, d18:2,16:0, d18:1,24:0, d18:2,24:0, d18:1,24:1 and d18:2,24:1; and the most represented species of sphingomyelin were d18:1,16:0, d18:1,24:0 and d18:1,24:1. In these cells, sphingomyelin was highly enriched in DRMs, instead ceramide was mainly associated with the detergent soluble fraction and the species found in DRMs were markedly different from those of DSF.
