Previous studies have demonstrated a striking difference in rat intestinal glycolipids between differentiated villus cells and immature crypt cells. Villus cells contained proportionally greater amounts of glucosylceramide and hematoside while crypt cells were deficient in hematoside, but contained proportionally greater amounts of trihexosylceramide. In order to further elucidate possible differences between villus and crypt cell glycolipids, a study of the sphingosine and fatty acids of rat intestinal glycolipids was conducted. Villus and crypt cells were separated from rat intestine and the glycolipids purified. Fatty acids and long chain bases of the 3 major glycolipids (glucosylceramide, trihexosylceramide, hematoside) extracted from these cells were characterized. Phytosphingosine accounted for 63-73% of the total long chain bases in all glycolipids whether from villus or crypt cells. Hydroxy fatty acids represented 70% of total fatty acids in the glucosylceramide and in the hematoside but accounted for only 30% in the trihexosylceramide. In addition, trihexosylceramide contained a larger percentage of fatty acids with 20-carbon atoms than glucosylceramide and hematoside isolated from villus cells. These fatty acids were more concentrated in crypt cells than in villus cells glycolipids. Hematoside and trihexosylceramide, respectively, abundant in villus and in crypt cells, may be derived from a different lactosylceramide precursor and further underscore differences in villus and crypt cell glycolipid synthesis.
