      H. HIGASHID*, K.Z. HOSSAIN, H. TAKAHAGI, M. NODA (*Department of Biophysical Genetics, Kanazawa University Graduate School of Medicine, Kanazawa 920-8640, Japan)

      Anal. Biochem. 308 (1), 106-111 (2002). TLC of cyclic AMP (cAMP) on silica gel with water - ethanol - NH4HCO3 3:7:0.2 M. This procedure separated [32P]cAMP from other radioactive metabolites of [32P]ATP in up to 19 samples on one sheet (20×10 cm) over 40–60 min at room temperature (21 °C). This simple and rapid isolation method provides a novel and convenient technique for the assay of adenylyl cyclase.

      PLoS ONE 8(3), e57908 (2013). Feline SD (Sandhoff disease) fibroblasts GM2 SV3 and human TSD (Tay-Sachs disease) glial cells were transfected to express hybrid subunits H1 and H2 of beta-hexosaminidase A (Hex) and grown for 18 h in medium containing 4.7 µg/mL NBD-GM2 (2-nitro1,3-benzoxadiazol fluorescent derivative of GM2 ganglioside, substrate of Hex) and 50 µM CBE (conduritol-B-epoxide). To check the transfection, HPTLC of glycosphingolipids, extracted according to Folch’s method into acidic and neutral glycolipids, on silica gel first with chloroform – acetone 1:1, followed by chloroform – methanol – 0.2% CaCl2 55:45:10; the separated gangliosides (NBD-GM2 and its breakdown NBD-products) were quantified by a fluor image analyzer (Storm Imager). Total ganglioside fractions obtained through ion-exchange chromatography from transfected SD lysates were incubated with NBD-GM2 and separated on HPTLC, with the same first mobile phase followed by chloroform – methanol – water 65:25:4; the reaction product NBD-GM3 appeared only when GM2 activator protein was added during the incubation.
