[PMID: 38579619 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a central technique in investigating drug - membrane interactions, a critical component of pharmaceutical research. DSC measures the heat difference between a sample of interest and a reference as a function of temperature or time, contributing essential knowledge on the thermally induced phase changes in lipid membranes and how these changes are affected by incorporating pharmacological substances. The manuscript discusses the use of phospholipid bilayers, which can form structures like unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles, providing a simplified yet representative membrane model to investigate the complex dynamics of how drugs interact with and penetrate cellular barriers. The manuscript consolidates data from various studies, providing a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying drug - membrane interactions, the determinants that influence these interactions, and the crucial role of DSC in elucidating these components. It further explores the interactions of specific classes of drugs with phospholipid membranes, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticancer agents, natural products with antioxidant properties, and Alzheimer's disease therapeutics. The manuscript underscores the critical importance of DSC in this field and the need for continued research to improve our understanding of these interactions, acting as a valuable resource for researchers.

Abstract
Protein S-palmitoylation (hereinafter referred to as protein palmitoylation) is a reversible lipid posttranslational modification catalyzed by the zinc finger DHHC-type containing (ZDHHC) protein family. The reverse reaction, depalmitoylation, is catalyzed by palmitoyl-protein thioesterases (PPTs), including acyl-protein thioesterases (APT1/2), palmitoyl protein thioesterases (PPT1/2), or alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein 17A/B/C (ABHD17A/B/C). Proteins encoded by several oncogenes and tumor suppressors are modified by palmitoylation, which enhances the hydrophobicity of specific protein subdomains, and can confer changes in protein stability, membrane localization, protein-protein interaction, and signal transduction. The importance for protein palmitoylation in tumorigenesis has just started to be elucidated in the past decade; palmitoylation appears to affect key aspects of cancer, including cancer cell proliferation and survival, cell invasion and metastasis, and antitumor immunity. Here we review the current literature on protein palmitoylation in the various cancer types, and discuss the potential of targeting of palmitoylation enzymes or palmitoylated proteins for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Synthetic antitumor lipids are metabolically stable lysophosphatidylcholine derivatives, encompassing a class of non-mutagenic drugs that selectively target cancerous cells. In this chapter we review the literature as relates to the clinical efficacy of these antitumor lipid drugs and how our understanding of their mode of action has evolved alongside key advances in our knowledge of membrane structure, organization, and function. First, the history of the development of this class of drugs is described, providing a summary of clinical outcomes of key members including edelfosine, miltefosine, perifosine, erufosine, and erucylphosphocholine. A detailed description of the biophysical properties of these drugs and specific drug-lipid interactions which may contribute to the selectivity of the antitumor lipids for cancer cells follows. An updated model on the mode of action of these lipid drugs as membrane disorganizing agents is presented. Membrane domain organization as opposed to targeting specific proteins on membranes is discussed. By altering membranes, these antitumor lipids inhibit many survival pathways while activating pro-apoptotic signals leading to cell demise.

Abstract
We describe the production of stable DPPC and DPPC:DPPS-proteoliposomes harboring annexin V (AnxA5) and tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) and their use to investigate whether the presence of AnxA5 impacts the kinetic parameters for hydrolysis of TNAP substrates at physiological pH. The best catalytic efficiency was achieved in DPPS 10%-proteoliposomes (molar ratio), conditions that also increased the specificity of TNAP hydrolysis of PPi. Melting behavior of liposomes and proteoliposomes was analyzed via differential scanning calorimetry. The presence of 10% DPPS in DPPC-liposomes causes a broadening of the transition peaks, with AnxA5 and TNAP promoting a decrease in ΔH values. AnxA5 was able to mediate Ca(2+)-influx into the DPPC and DPPC:DPPS 10%-vesicles at physiological Ca(2+) concentrations (∼2 mM). This process was not affected by the presence of TNAP in the proteoliposomes. However, AnxA5 significantly affects the hydrolysis of TNAP substrates. Studies with GUVs confirmed the functional reconstitution of AnxA5 in the mimetic systems. These proteoliposomes are useful as mimetics of mineralizing cell-derived matrix vesicles, known to be responsible for the initiation of endochondral ossification, as they successfully transport Ca(2+) and possess the ability to hydrolyze phosphosubstrates in the lipid-water interface.

Abstract
A series of alkylphosphocholine and alkylphosphohomocholine derivatives of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, benzalkonium bromide (C16) and benzethonium chloride have been synthesized. Their physicochemical properties were also investigated. The critical micelle concentration (cmc), the surface tension value at the cmc (γcmc), and the surface area at the surface saturation per head group (Acmc) were determined by means of surface tension measurements. The prepared compounds exhibit significant cytotoxic, antifungal and antiprotozoal activities. Alkylphosphocholines and alkylphosphohomocholines possess higher antifungal activity against Candida albicans in comparison with quaternary ammonium compounds in general. However, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit significantly higher activity against human tumor cells and pathogenic free-living amoebae Acanthamoeba lugdunensis and Acanthamoeba quina compared to alkylphosphocholines. The relationship between structure, physicochemical properties and biological activity of the tested compounds is discussed.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are highly ordered membrane domains rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids that provide a scaffold for signal transduction proteins; altered raft structure has also been implicated in cancer progression. We have shown that 25 μm 10-(octyloxy) decyl-2-(trimethylammonium) ethyl phosphate (ODPC), an alkylphospholipid, targets high cholesterol domains in model membranes and induces apoptosis in leukemia cells but spares normal hematopoietic and epithelial cells under the same conditions. We performed a quantitative (SILAC) proteomic screening of ODPC targets in a lipid-raft-enriched fraction of leukemic cells to identify early events prior to the initiation of apoptosis. Six proteins, three with demonstrated palmitoylation sites, were reduced in abundance. One, the linker for activation of T-cell family member 2 (LAT2), is an adaptor protein associated with lipid rafts in its palmitoylated form and is specifically expressed in B lymphocytes and myeloid cells. Interestingly, LAT2 is not expressed in K562, a cell line more resistant to ODPC-induced apoptosis. There was an early loss of LAT2 in the lipid-raft-enriched fraction of NB4 cells within 3 h following treatment with 25 μm ODPC. Subsequent degradation of LAT2 by proteasomes was observed. Twenty-five μm ODPC inhibited AKT activation via myeloid growth factors, and LAT2 knockdown in NB4 cells by shRNA reproduced this effect. LAT2 knockdown in NB4 cells also decreased cell proliferation and increased cell sensitivity to ODPC (7.5×), perifosine (3×), and arsenic trioxide (8.5×). Taken together, these data indicate that LAT2 is an early mediator of the anti-leukemic activity of alkylphospholipids and arsenic trioxide. Thus, LAT2 may be used as a target for the design of drugs for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Proteoliposomes are systems that mimic lipid membranes (liposomes) to which a protein has been incorporated or inserted. During the last decade, these systems have gained prominence as tools for biophysical studies on lipid-protein interactions as well as for their biotechnological applications. Proteoliposomes have a major advantage when compared with natural membrane systems, since they can be obtained with a smaller number of lipidic (and protein) components, facilitating the design and interpretation of certain experiments. However, they have the disadvantage of requiring methodological standardization for incorporation of each specific protein, and the need to verify that the reconstitution procedure has yielded the correct orientation of the protein in the proteoliposome system with recovery of its functional activity. In this review, we chose two proteins under study in our laboratory to exemplify the steps necessary for the standardization of the reconstitution of membrane proteins in liposome systems: (1) alkaline phosphatase, a protein with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, and (2) Na,K-ATPase, an integral membrane protein. In these examples, we focus on the production of the specific proteoliposomes, as well as on their biochemical and biophysical characterization, with emphasis on studies of lipid-protein interactions. We conclude the chapter by highlighting current prospects of this technology for biotechnological applications, including the construction of nanosensors and of a multi-protein nanovesicular biomimetic to study the processes of initiation of skeletal mineralization.
