Abstract
Bioprinting is an automated bioassembly method that enables the formation of human tissue-like constructs to restore or replace damaged tissues. Regardless of the employed bioprinting method, cells undergo mechanical stress that can impact their survival and function postprinting. In this study, we investigate the use of a synthetic cell-like unit, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), as adjuvants of the cellular function of human cells postprinting, or in future as the complete replacement of human cells. We analyzed the impact of two nozzle-based bioprinting methods (drop-on-demand and extrusion bioprinting) on the structure, stability, and function of GUVs. We showed that over 65% of the GUVs remain intact when printing at 0.5 bar, demonstrating the potential of using GUVs as a synthetic cell source. We further increased the stability of GUVs in a cell culture medium by introducing polyethylene glycol (PEG) into the GUV lipid membrane. The presence of PEG, however, diminished the structural properties of GUVs postprinting, and reduced the interaction of GUVs with human cells. Although the design of PEG-GUVs can still be modified in future studies for better cell-GUV interactions, we demonstrated that GUVs are functional postprinting. Chlorin e6-PEG-GUVs loaded with a fluorescent dye were bioprinted, and they released the dye postprinting only upon illumination. This is a new strategy to deliver carriers, such as growth factors, drugs, nutrients, or gases, inside large bioprinted specimens on a millimeter to centimeter scale. Overall, we showed that printed GUVs can augment the functionality of manufactured human tissues.

Abstract
This study investigated the incorporation of triacylglycerol droplets in the bilayers of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) using four triacylglycerols and four phosphatidylcholines by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The triacylglycerol droplets were incorporated between the monolayer leaflets of the GUVs. Among the spherical droplets protruding on only one side of the bilayers, the droplets bound to the outer leaflets outnumbered those bound to the inner leaflets. The more frequent droplet binding to the outer leaflet caused transbilayer asymmetry in the droplet surface density. A vesicle consisting of a single-bilayer spherical segment and a double-bilayer spherical segment was also observed. The yield of these vesicles was comparable with or higher than that of the droplet-incorporating GUVs for many of the phosphatidylcholine-triacylglycerol combinations. In a vesicle consisting of single-bilayer and double-bilayer segments, most of the triacylglycerol droplets were localized on the outermost membrane surface along the segment boundary and in the double-bilayer segment. To rationalize the formation of these vesicle structures, we propose that the transbilayer asymmetry in the droplet surface density induces spontaneous curvature of the bilayer, with the bilayer spontaneously bending away from the droplets. Energy calculations performed assuming the existence of spontaneous curvature of the bilayer corroborated the experimentally determined membrane shapes for the vesicles consisting of unilamellar and bilamellar regions.

Abstract
As the primary products of lipid oxidation, lipid hydroperoxides constitute an important class of lipids generated by aerobic metabolism. However, despite several years of effort, the structure of the hydroperoxidized bilayer has not yet been observed under electron microscopy. Here we use a 200 kV Cryo-TEM to image small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) made (i) of pure POPC or SOPC, (ii) of their pure hydroperoxidized form, and (iii) of their equimolar mixtures. We show that the challenges posed by the determination of the thickness of the hydroperoxidized bilayers under these observation conditions can be addressed by an image analysis method that we developed and describe here.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small phospholipid bilayer-bond structures released by diverse cell types into the extracellular environment, maintaining homeostasis of the cell by balancing cellular stress. This article provides a comprehensive overview of extracellular vesicles, their heterogeneity, and diversified roles in cellular processes, emphasizing their importance in the elimination of unwanted molecules. They play a role in regulating oxidative stress, particularly by discarding oxidized toxic molecules. Furthermore, endoplasmic reticulum stress induces the release of EVs, contributing to distinct results, including autophagy or ER stress transmission to following cells. ER stress-induced autophagy is a part of unfolded protein response (UPR) and protects cells from ER stress-related apoptosis. Mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs) also play a role in maintaining homeostasis, as they carry damaged mitochondrial components, thereby preventing inflammation. Moreover, EVs partake in regulating aging-related processes, and therefore they can potentially play a crucial role in anti-aging therapies, including the treatment of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or cardiovascular conditions. Overall, the purpose of this article is to provide a better understanding of EVs as significant mediators in both physiological and pathological processes, and to shed light on their potential for therapeutic interventions targeting EV-mediated pathways in various pathological conditions, with an emphasis on age-related diseases.

Biophys J 2023; 122:4503-4517.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation is a universal degradative process of cell membrane lipids that is induced by oxidative stress and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in multiple pathophysiological situations. It has been shown that certain oxidized lipids alter membrane properties, leading to a loss of membrane function. Alteration of membrane properties is thought to depend on the initial membrane lipid composition, such as the number of acyl chain unsaturations. However, it is unclear how oxidative damage is related to biophysical properties of membranes. We therefore set out to quantify lipid oxidation through various analytical methods and determine key biophysical membrane parameters using model membranes containing lipids with different degrees of lipid unsaturation. As source for RONS, we used cold plasma, which is currently developed as treatment for infections and cancer. Our data revealed complex lipid oxidation that can lead to two main permeabilization mechanisms. The first one appears upon direct contact of membranes with RONS and depends on the formation of truncated oxidized phospholipids. These lipids seem to be partly released from the bilayer, implying that they are likely to interact with other membranes and potentially act as signaling molecules. This mechanism is independent of lipid unsaturation, does not rely on large variations in lipid packing, and is most probably mediated via short-living RONS. The second mechanism takes over after longer incubation periods and probably depends on the continued formation of lipid oxygen adducts such as lipid hydroperoxides or ketones. This mechanism depends on lipid unsaturation and involves large variations in lipid packing. This study indicates that polyunsaturated lipids, which are present in mammalian membranes rather than in bacteria, do not sensitize membranes to instant permeabilization by RONS but could promote long-term damage.

Abstract
In our study, we harnessed an original Enhanced Speed Structured Illumination Microscopy (Fast-SIM) imaging setup to explore the dynamics of mitochondrial and inner membrane ultrastructure under specific photo-oxidation stress induced by Chlorin-e6 and light irradiation. Notably, our Fast-SIM system allowed us to observe and quantify a distinct remodeling and shortening of the mitochondrial structure after 60-80 s of irradiation. These changes were accompanied by fusion events of adjacent inner membrane cristae and global swelling of the organelle. Preceding these alterations, a larger sequence was characterized by heightened dynamics within the mitochondrial network, featuring events such as mitochondrial fission, rapid formation of tubular prolongations, and fluctuations in cristae structure. Our findings provide compelling evidence that, among enhanced-resolution microscopy techniques, Fast-SIM emerges as the most suitable approach for non-invasive dynamic studies of mitochondrial structure in living cells. For the first time, this approach allows quantitative and qualitative characterization of successive steps in the photo-induced oxidation process with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution.

Abstract
The chase toward endowing chemical compounds with machine-like functions mimicking those of biological molecular machineries has yielded a variety of artificial molecular motors (AMMs). Pharmaceutical applications of photoexcited monomolecular unidirectionally-rotating AMMs have been envisioned in view of their ability to permeabilize biological membranes. Nonetheless, the mechanical properties of lipid membranes render the proposed drilling activity of AMMs doubtful. Here, we show that singlet oxygen released by a photoexcited "molecular drill" oxidized unsaturated lipids composing giant unilamellar vesicles. In contrast, giant liposomes built of saturated lipids were inert to AMM photoactuation. The AMM did not mechanically destroy gramicidin A ion channels in planar bilayer lipid membranes but instead photoinactivated them. Sodium azide, a singlet oxygen quencher, reduced both AMM-mediated light-induced dye release from unsaturated large unilamellar vesicles and protected gramicidin A from photoinactivation. Upon additional consideration of the underlying bilayer mechanics, we conclude that AMMs' envisioned therapeutic and pharmaceutical applications rely on their photodynamic activity rather than their nanomechanical drilling abilities.

Abstract
Studies in the last decade have established the roles of oxidized phospholipids as modulators of various cellular processes, from inflammation and immunity to cell death. Oxidized lysophospholipids, formed through the activity of phospholipases and oxidative enzymes and lacking an acyl chain in comparison with parent phospholipids, are now emerging as novel bioactive lipid mediators. Their detection and structural characterization have been limited in the past due to low amounts and the complexity of their biosynthetic and removal pathways, but recent studies have unequivocally demonstrated their formation under inflammatory conditions. The involvement of oxidized lysophospholipids in immune regulation classifies them as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which can promote sterile inflammation and contribute to autoimmune and chronic diseases as well as aging-related diseases. Their signaling pathways are just beginning to be revealed. As the first publications indicate that oxidized lysophospholipids use the same receptors as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), it is likely that the inhibition of signaling pathways activated by oxidized lysophospholipids would affect innate immunity per se. On the other hand, inhibition or modulation of their enzymatic formation, which would not interfere with the response to pathogens, might be beneficial and is potentially a promising new field of research.

Use of giant unilamellar lipid vesicles as antioxidant carriers in in vitro culture medium of bovine embryos. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11228.

Abstract
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are composed of lipophilic layers and are sensitive to the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The use of GUVs as microcarriers of biological macromolecules is particularly interesting since ROS produced by gametes or embryos during in vitro culture can induce the opening of pores in the membrane of these vesicles and cause the release of their content. This study investigated the behavior of GUVs [composed of 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl)] in co-culture with in vitro produced bovine embryos, as well as their embryotoxicity and effectiveness as cysteine carriers in culture medium. Embryonic developmental rates were unaffected, demonstrating the absence of toxicity of GUVs co-cultured with the embryos. No increase of intracellular ROS levels was observed in the embryos co-cultured with GUVs, indicating that the higher lipid content of the culture environment resulting from the lipid composition of the GUV membrane itself did not increase oxidative stress. Variations in the diameter and number of GUVs demonstrated their sensitivity to ROS produced by embryos cultured under conditions that generate oxidative stress. Encapsulation of cysteine in GUVs was found to be more effective in controlling the production of ROS in embryonic cells than direct dilution of this antioxidant in the medium. In conclusion, the use of GUVs in in vitro culture was found to be safe since these vesicles did not promote toxic effects nor did they increase intracellular ROS concentrations in the embryos. GUVs were sensitive to oxidative stress, which resulted in structural changes in response to the action of ROS. The possible slow release of cysteine into the culture medium by GUV rupture would therefore favor the gradual supply of cysteine, prolonging its presence in the medium. Thus, the main implication of the use of GUVs as cysteine microcarriers is the greater effectiveness in preventing the intracytoplasmic increase of ROS in in vitro produced bovine embryos.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation has significant effects on lipid bilayer properties; these effects can be expected to extend to interactions between the lipid bilayer and integral membrane proteins. Given that G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity is known to depend on the properties of the surrounding lipid bilayer, these proteins represent an intriguing class of molecules in which the impact of lipid oxidation on protein behavior is studied. Here, we study the effects of lipid oxidation on the human serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1AR). Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) containing integral 5-HT1AR were fabricated by the hydrogel swelling method; these GUVs contained polyunsaturated 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLinPC) and its oxidation product 1-palmitoyl-2-(9'-oxo-nonanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PoxnoPC) at various ratios. 5-HT1AR-integrated GUVs were also fabricated from lipid mixtures that had been oxidized by extended exposure to the atmosphere. Both types of vesicles were used to evaluate 5-HT1AR activity using an assay to quantify GDP-GTP exchange by the coupled G protein α subunit. Results indicated that 5-HT1AR activity increases significantly in bilayers containing oxidized lipids. This work is an important step in understanding how hyperbaric oxidation can change plasma membrane properties and lead to physiological dysfunction.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) plays a key role in many age-related neurodegenerative conditions and other disorders. Light irradiation can initiate LPO through various mechanisms and is of importance in retinal and dermatological pathologies. The introduction of deuterated polyunsaturated fatty acids (D-PUFA) into membrane lipids is a promising approach for protection against LPO. Here, we report the protective effects of D-PUFA against the photodynamically induced LPO, using illumination in the presence of the photosensitizer trisulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPcS3) in liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV), as assessed in four experimental models: 1) sulforhodamine B leakage from liposomes, detected with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS); 2) formation of diene conjugates in liposomal membranes, measured by absorbance at 234 nm; 3) membrane leakage in GUV assessed by optical phase-contrast intensity observations; 4) UPLC-MS/MS method to detect oxidized linoleic acid (Lin)-derived metabolites. Specifically, in liposomes or GUV containing H-PUFA (dilinoleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine), light irradiation led to an extensive oxidative damage to bilayers. By contrast, no damage was observed in lipid bilayers containing 20% or more D-PUFA (D2-Lin or D10-docosahexanenoic acid). Remarkably, addition of tocopherol increased the dye leakage from liposomes in H-PUFA bilayers compared to photoirradiation alone, signifying tocopherol's pro-oxidant properties. However, in the presence of D-PUFA the opposite effect was observed, whereby adding tocopherol increased the resistance to LPO. These findings suggest a method to augment the protective effects of D-PUFA, which are currently undergoing clinical trials in several neurological and retinal diseases that involve LPO.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are incredibly important biomolecules because they mediate interactions between a cell's external and internal environment. Obtaining information about membrane protein structure and interactions is thus important for understanding these essential biomolecules. Compared with the analyses of water-soluble proteins, the structural analysis of membrane proteins is more challenging owing to their unique chemical properties and the presence of lipid components that are necessary to solubilize them. The combination of covalent labeling (CL) and mass spectrometry (MS) has recently been applied with great success to study membrane protein structure and interactions. These studies have demonstrated the many advantages that CL-MS methods have over other traditional biophysical techniques. In this review, we discuss both amino acid-specific and non-specific labeling approaches and the special considerations needed to address the unique challenges associated with interrogating membrane proteins. This review highlights the aspects of this approach that require special care to be applied correctly and provides a comprehensive review of the membrane protein systems that have been studied by CL-MS. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Lipids are important targets of the photosensitized oxidation reactions, forming important signaling molecules, disorganizing and permeabilizing membranes, and consequently inducing a variety of biological responses. Although the initial steps of the photosensitized oxidative damage in lipids are known to occur by both Type I and Type II mechanisms, the progression of the peroxidation reaction, which leads to important end-point biological responses, is poorly known. There are many experimental tools used to study the products of lipid oxidation, but neither the methods nor their resulting observations were critically compared. In this article, we will review the tools most frequently used and the key concepts raised by them in order to rationalize a comprehensive model for the initiation and the progression steps of the photoinduced lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Lipid-porphyrin conjugates are considered nowadays as promising building blocks for the conception of drug delivery systems with multifunctional properties such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), phototriggerable release, photoacoustic and fluorescence imaging. For this aim, we have recently synthesized a new lipid-porphyrin conjugate named PhLSM. This was obtained by coupling pheophorbide-a (Pheo-a), a photosensitizer derived from chlorophyll-a, to egg lyso-sphingomyelin. The pure PhLSMs were able to self-assemble into vesicle-like structures that were however not stable and formed aggregates with undefined structures due to the mismatch between the length of the alkyl chain in sn-1 position and the adjacent porphyrin. Herein, stable PhLSMs lipid bilayers were achieved by mixing PhLSMs with cholesterol which exhibits a complementary packing parameter. The interfacial behavior as well as the fine structures of their equimolar mixture was studied at the air/buffer interface by the mean of Langmuir balance and x-ray reflectomerty (XRR) respectively. Our XRR analysis unraveled the monolayer thickening and the increase in the lateral ordering of PhLSM molecules. Interestingly, we could prepare stable vesicles with this mixture that encapsulate hydrophilic fluorescent probe. The light-triggered release kinetics and the photothermal conversion were studied. Moreover, the obtained vesicles were photo-triggerable and allowed the release of an encapsulated cargo in an ON-OFF fashion.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation, detected in metabolic processes, is induced in excess when the cellular membrane suffers extra oxidative stress. Lipid oxidation can compromise biomembrane function in part through perturbations of lipid packing, membrane permeability, and morphology. Two major types of oxidation products, one with a partially truncated lipid tail with a hydrophilic group at the tail-end, and secondly, a lysolipid (with one of the chains completely truncated) can disturb the membrane bilayer packing significantly. However, they also have an increased tendency to desorb from the membrane. In this study we investigated desorption kinetics of two characteristic lipid oxidation products (PAzePC and 18 : 1 LysoPC) from a model membrane system, and we evaluated the consequences of this process on membrane shape transitions. Using a microfluidic chamber coupled with micropipette aspiration, we observed the incorporation of the two lipids into the membrane of a giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) and further determined their desorption rates, association rates and flip-flop rates. For both lipids, the desorption is on the time scale of seconds, one to two orders of magnitude faster than their flipping rates. Dilution of the outer solution of the GUVs allowed asymmetric desorption of these two lipids from the GUVs. This process induced lipid number asymmetry and charge asymmetry, specifically for PAzePC containing GUVs, and caused membrane tubulation. Our results indicate that the desorption of lipid oxidation products can alter the local structure of biomembranes and result in morphological changes that may relate to membrane function.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) formed through photosensitization may initiate oxidative destruction of biomembranes, however, the influence from the spatial organization of photosensitizers (PS) relative to membranes remains unclear. To clarify this issue, we loaded riboflavin 5'-(dihydrogen phosphate) monosodium (FMN-Na) as a hydrophilic PS into the lumen of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), and attached the nanoassemblies (FMN-Na@HNTs), via Pickering effects, to the outer surfaces of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) of phospholipids. We also prepared GUVs dopped with lumiflavin (LF) as a lipophilic PS having a 1O2 quantum yield comparable to FMN-Na. FMN-Na capsulated in HNT was characterized by a longer triplet excited state lifetime (12.1 μs) compared to FMN-Na free in solution (7.5 μs), and FMN-Na in both forms efficiently generated 1O2 upon illumination. The spatio-effects of PS on the photosensitized morphological changes of membranes were studied using conventional optical microscopy by monitoring GUV morphological changes. Upon light exposure (400-440 nm), the GUVs attached with FMN-Na@HNT merely experienced membrane deformation starting from the original spherical shape, ascribed to Type II photosensitization with 1O2 as oxidant. In contrast, photooxidation of LF dopped GUVs mainly led to membrane coarsening and budding assigned to Type I photosensitization. The spatial effects of PS on photosensitized morphological changes were related to the different lipid oxidation products generated through Type I and Type II photosensitized lipid oxidation.

Abstract
A minimal synthetic cell should contain a substrate for information storage and have the capability to divide. Notable efforts were made to assemble functional synthetic cells from the bottom up, however often lacking the capability to reproduce. Here, we develop a mechanism to fully control reversible cargo loading and division of DNA-containing giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) with light. We make use of the photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) which self-assembles into lipid bilayers and leads to local lipid peroxidation upon illumination. On the time scale of minutes, illumination induces the formation of transient pores, which we exploit for cargo encapsulation or controlled release. In combination with osmosis, complete division of two daughter GUVs can be triggered within seconds of illumination due to a spontaneous curvature increase. We ultimately demonstrate the division of a selected DNA-containing GUV with full spatiotemporal control-proving the relevance of the division mechanism for bottom-up synthetic biology.

Abstract
Lipid hydroperoxides are the primary reaction products of lipid oxidation, a natural outcome of life under oxygen. While playing a major role in cell metabolism, the microscopic origins of the effects of lipid hydroperoxidation on biomembranes remain elusive. Here we probe the polar structure of partially to fully hydroperoxidized bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) by a combination of environment-sensitive fluorescent probes and coarse-grained Martini numerical simulations. We find that the inserted organic hydroperoxide group -OOH migrates preferentially to the surface for bilayers with small fractions of hydroperoxidized lipids, but populates also significantly the bilayer interior for larger fractions. Our findings suggest that by modifying the intimate polarity of biomembranes, lipid peroxidation will have a significant impact on the activity of transmembrane proteins and on the bio-medical efficiency of membrane active molecules such as cell-penetrating and antimicrobial peptides.

Abstract
Membrane interactions and photooxidative membrane destabilization of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were investigated, focusing on the effects of membrane composition, notably phospholipid headgroup charge and presence of cholesterol. For this, we employed a battery of state-of-the-art methods for studies of bilayers formed by zwitterionic palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) containing also polyunsaturated palmitoylarachidonoylphosphocholine (PAPC), as well as its mixtures with anionic palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylglycerol (POPG) and cholesterol. It was found that the TiO2 nanoparticles display close to zero charge at pH 7.4, resulting in aggregation. At pH 3.4, in contrast, the 6 nm TiO2 nanoparticles are well dispersed due to a strongly positive ζ-potential. Mirroring this pH dependence, TiO2 nanoparticles were observed to bind to negatively charged lipid bilayers at pH 3.4, but much less so at pH 7.4. While nanoparticle binding has some destabilizing effect alone, illumination with ultraviolet (UV) light accentuates membrane destabilization, a result of oxidative stress caused by generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Neutron reflectivity (NR), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) results all demonstrate that membrane composition strongly influences membrane interactions and photooxidative destabilization of lipid bilayers. In particular, the presence of anionic POPG makes the bilayers more sensitive to oxidative destabilization, whereas a stabilizing effect was observed in the presence of cholesterol. Also, structural aspects of peroxidation were found to depend strongly on membrane composition, notably the presence of anionic phospholipids. The results show that membrane interactions and UV-induced ROS generation act in concert and need to be considered together to understand effects of lipid membrane composition on UV-triggered oxidative destabilization by TiO2 nanoparticles, e.g., in the context of oxidative damage of bacteria and cells.

Abstract
The lipid composition impacts directly on the structure and function of the cytoplasmic as well as organelle membranes. Depending on the type of membrane, specific lipids are required to accommodate, intercalate, or pack membrane proteins to the proper functioning of the cells/organelles. Rather than being only a physical barrier that separates the inner from the outer spaces, membranes are responsible for many biochemical events such as cell-to-cell communication, protein-lipid interaction, intracellular signaling, and energy storage. Photochemical reactions occur naturally in many biological membranes and are responsible for diverse processes such as photosynthesis and vision/phototaxis. However, excessive exposure to light in the presence of absorbing molecules produces excited states and other oxidant species that may cause cell aging/death, mutations and innumerable diseases including cancer. At the same time, targeting key compartments of diseased cells with light can be a promising strategy to treat many diseases in a clinical procedure called Photodynamic Therapy. Here we analyze the relationships between membrane alterations induced by photo-oxidation and the biochemical responses in mammalian cells. We specifically address the impact of photosensitization reactions in membranes of different organelles such as mitochondria, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasma membrane, and the subsequent responses of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by bactericidal antibiotics has been associated with a common, nonspecific mechanism of cellular death. Herein, we report real-time single-cell fluorescence studies on Escherichia coli stained with a fluorogenic probe for lipid peroxyl radicals showing the generation of this form of ROS when exposed to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and 10× MIC of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (3 and 30 μM, respectively). Single-cell intensity-time trajectories show an induction period followed by an accelerating phase for cells treated with antibiotic, where initial and maximum intensity achieved following 3.5 h of incubation with antibiotic showed dose-dependent average values. A large fraction of bacteria remains viable after the studies, indicating ROS formation is occurring a priori of cell death. Punctate structures are observed, consistent with membrane blebbing. The addition of a membrane embedding lipid peroxyl radical scavenger, an α-tocopherol analogue, to the media increased the MIC of ciprofloxacin. Lipid peroxyl radical formation precedes E. coli cell death and may be invoked in a cascade event including membrane disruption and consequent cell wall permeabilization. Altogether, our work illustrates that lipid peroxidation is caused by ciprofloxacin in E. coli and suppressed by α-tocopherol analogues. Lipid peroxidation may be invoked in a cascade event including membrane disruption and consequent cell wall permeabilization. Our work provides a methodology to assess antibiotic-induced membrane peroxidation at the single-cell level; this methodology provides opportunities to explore the scope and nature of lipid peroxidation in antibiotic-induced cell lethality.

Abstract
The antioxidant vitamin E is a commonly used vitamin supplement. Although the multi-billion dollar vitamin and nutritional supplement industry encourages the use of vitamin E, there is very little evidence supporting its actual health benefits. Moreover, vitamin E is now marketed as a lipid raft destabilizing anti-cancer agent, in addition to its antioxidant behaviour. Here, we studied the influence of vitamin E and some of its vitamers on membrane raft stability using phase separating unilamellar lipid vesicles in conjunction with small-angle scattering techniques and fluorescence microscopy. We find that lipid phase behaviour remains unperturbed well beyond physiological concentrations of vitamin E (up to a mole fraction of 0.10). Our results are consistent with a proposed line active role of vitamin E at the domain boundary. We discuss the implications of these findings as they pertain to lipid raft modification in native membranes, and propose a new hypothesis for the antioxidant mechanism of vitamin E.

Abstract
Fluorescent lipid probes are commonly used to label membranes of cells and model membranes like giant vesicles, liposomes, and supported lipid bilayers (SLB). Here, we show that excitation of fluorescent lipid probes with BODIPY-like conjugates results in a significant acceleration of the rupture and SLB formation process for unsaturated phospholipid vesicles on SiO2 surfaces. The resulting SLBs also have smaller measured masses, which is indicative of a reduction in membrane thickness and/or membrane density. The excitation of fluorescent probes with NBD and Texas Red conjugates does not accelerate the SLB formation process. In the absence of fluorescent probes or light, the inclusion of oxidized phospholipids also accelerates SLB formation. The excitation-induced acceleration caused by BODIPY-like probes is eliminated when the probes are present with saturated phospholipids not susceptible to oxidation, and it is attenuated when a lipophilic antioxidant (α-tocopherol) is present. These results suggest that BODIPY-phospholipid conjugates are photosensitizers, and their excitation causes oxidation of lipid membranes, which significantly alters membrane properties.

PIP2 Reshapes Membranes through Asymmetric Desorption. Biophys J 2019; 117:962-974.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is an important signaling lipid in eukaryotic cell plasma membranes, playing an essential role in diverse cellular processes. The headgroup of PIP2 is highly negatively charged, and this lipid displays a high critical micellar concentration compared to housekeeping phospholipid analogs. Given the crucial role of PIP2, it is imperative to study its localization, interaction with proteins, and membrane-shaping properties. Biomimetic membranes have served extensively to elucidate structural and functional aspects of cell membranes including protein-lipid and lipid-lipid interactions, as well as membrane mechanics. Incorporation of PIP2 into biomimetic membranes, however, has at times resulted in discrepant findings described in the literature. With the goal to elucidate the mechanical consequences of PIP2 incorporation, we studied the desorption of PIP2 from biomimetic giant unilamellar vesicles by means of a fluorescent marker. A decrease in fluorescence intensity with the age of the vesicles suggested that PIP2 lipids were being desorbed from the outer leaflet of the membrane. To evaluate whether this desorption was asymmetric, the vesicles were systematically diluted. This resulted in an increase in the number of internally tubulated vesicles within minutes after dilution, suggesting that the desorption was asymmetric and also generated membrane curvature. By means of a saturated chain homolog of PIP2, we showed that the fast desorption of PIP2 is facilitated by presence of an arachidonic lipid tail and is possibly due to its oxidation. Through measurements of the pulling force of membrane tethers, we quantified the effect of this asymmetric desorption on the spontaneous membrane curvature. Furthermore, we found that the spontaneous curvature could be modulated by externally increasing the concentration of PIP2 micelles. Given that the local concentration of PIP2 in biological membranes is variable, spontaneous curvature generated by PIP2 may affect the formation of highly curved structures that can serve as initiators for signaling events.

Abstract
In addition to the known prominent role of polyunsaturated (phospho)lipids as structural blocks of biomembranes, there is an emerging understanding of another important function of these molecules as a highly diversified signaling language utilized for intra- and extracellular communications. Technological developments in high-resolution mass spectrometry facilitated the development of a new branch of metabolomics, redox lipidomics. Analysis of lipid peroxidation reactions has already identified specific enzymatic mechanisms responsible for the biosynthesis of several unique signals in response to inflammation and regulated cell death programs. Obtaining comprehensive information about millions of signals encoded by oxidized phospholipids, represented by thousands of interactive reactions and pleiotropic (patho)physiological effects, is a daunting task. However, there is still reasonable hope that significant discoveries, of at least some of the important contributors to the overall overwhelmingly complex network of interactions triggered by inflammation, will lead to the discovery of new small molecule regulators and therapeutic modalities. For example, suppression of the production of AA-derived pro-inflammatory mediators, HXA3 and LTB4, by an iPLA2 γ inhibitor, R-BEL, mitigated injury associated with the activation of pro-inflammatory processes in animals exposed to whole-body irradiation. Further, technological developments promise to make redox lipidomics a powerful approach in the arsenal of diagnostic and therapeutic instruments for personalized medicine of inflammatory diseases and conditions.

Abstract
Unsaturated lipid oxidation is a fundamental process involved in different aspects of cellular bioenergetics; dysregulation of lipid oxidation is often associated with cell aging and death. To study how lipid oxidation affects membrane biophysics, we used a chlorin photosensitizer to oxidize vesicles of various lipid compositions and degrees of unsaturation in a controlled manner. We observed different shape transitions that can be interpreted as an increase in the area of the targeted membrane followed by a decrease. These area modifications induced by the chemical modification of the membrane upon oxidation were followed in situ by Raman tweezers microspectroscopy. We found that the membrane area increase corresponds to the lipids' peroxidation and is initiated by the delocalization of the targeted double bonds in the tails of the lipids. The subsequent decrease of membrane area can be explained by the formation of cleaved secondary products. As a result of these area changes, we observe vesicle permeabilization after a time lag that is characterized in relation with the level of unsaturation. The evolution of photosensitized vesicle radius was measured and yields an estimation of the mechanical changes of the membrane over oxidation time. The membrane is both weakened and permeabilized by the oxidation. Interestingly, the effect of unsaturation level on the dynamics of vesicles undergoing photooxidation is not trivial and thus carefully discussed. Our findings shed light on the fundamental dynamic mechanisms underlying the oxidation of lipid membranes and highlight the role of unsaturations on their physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
The use of omics technologies to profile an organism's systemic response to environmental changes can improve the effectiveness of biomonitoring. In cell physiology, the dynamic characteristics of membranes can be used to identify lipid profiles that detect environmental threats and assess the health problems associated with them. The efficacy of this approach was demonstrated by profiling glycerophosphocholines (GPCs, a major membrane lipid class) in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum after exposure to Irgarol 1051. A quantitative biomonitoring model for this photosystem II herbicide was developed by correlating variations in coral lipid profile with herbicide exposure levels and degree of photoinhibition. After 4 days of exposure, the predominant changes correlated with photoinhibition were an increase in lyso-GPCs and saturated GPCs and a decrease in phosphatidylcholines with unsaturated C18 chains or a polyunsaturated C22 chain. A time-course experiment showed that most of these lipid changes occurred opposite to the initial response and that the persistent changes can be attributed to photosynthetic shortages and the membrane accommodation of photoinhibition-induced oxidative conditions. These changes can help predict risk factors leading to coral bleaching. In this study, the application of a lipidomic methodology to characterize the adaptation of coral to ambient contamination serves as a basis for advancing environmental monitoring and assessment.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cells may occur via their catalytic autoxidation through peroxyl radicals under oxidative stress conditions. Lipid peroxidation is related to a number of pathologies, and may be invoked in new forms of regulated cell death, yet it may also have beneficial roles in cell signaling cascades. Antioxidants are a natural line of defense against lipid peroxidation, and may accordingly impact the biological outcome associated with the redox chemistry of lipid peroxidation. Critical to unraveling the physiological and pathological role of lipid peroxidation is the development of novel probes with the partition, chemical sensitivity and more importantly, molecular specificity, enabling the spatial and temporal imaging of peroxyl radicals in the lipid membranes of live cells, reporting on the redox status of the cell membrane. This review describes our recent progress to visualize lipid peroxidation in model membrane systems and in live cell studies. Our work portrays the mechanistic insight leading to the development of a highly sensitive probe to monitor lipid peroxyl radicals (LOO•). It also describes technical aspects including reagents and fluorescence microscopy methodologies to consider in order to achieve the much sought after monitoring of rates of lipid peroxyl radical production in live cell studies, be it under oxidative stress but also under cell homeostasis. This review seeks to bring attention to the study of lipid redox reactions and to lay the groundwork for the adoption of fluorogenic antioxidant probeshancement and maximum intensity recorded in turn provide a benchmark to estimate, when compared to the control BODIPY dye lacking the intramolecular PeT based switch, the overall exte and related fluorescence microscopy methods toward gaining rich spatiotemporal information on lipid peroxidation in live cells.

Abstract
Upon irradiation, the photosensitizer pheophorbide-a causes dramatic morphological transitions in giant unilamellar lipid vesicles. This endocytosis-like process occurs only when the photoactive species are encapsulated in a copolymer nanocarrier and strictly depends on the chemical nature of the copolymer. Altogether, these results open up new perspectives in the field of photo-chemical internalization mediated by nanoassemblies.

Abstract
Photo-triggerable liposomes are considered nowadays as promising drug delivery devices due to their potential to release encapsulated drugs in a spatial and temporal manner. In this work, we have investigated the photopermeation efficiency of three photosensitizers (PSs), namely verteporfin, pheophorbide a and m-THPP when incorporated into liposomes with well-defined lipid compositions (SOPC, DOPC or SLPC). By changing the nature of phospholipids and PSs, the illumination of the studied systems was shown to significantly alter their lipid bilayer properties via the formation of lipid peroxides. The system efficiency depends on the PS/phospholipid association, and the ability of the PS to peroxidize acyl chains. Our results demonstrated the possible use of these three clinically approved (or under investigation) PSs as potential candidates for photo-triggerable liposome conception.

Abstract
We have attempted to evaluate, on the basis of optical microscopy for a single giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV), the potency of antioxidants in protecting GUV membranes from oxidative destruction. Photosensitized membrane budding of GUVs prepared from soybean phosphatidylcholine with chlorophyll a (Chl a) and β-carotene (β-Car) as photosensitizer and protector, respectively, were followed by microscopic imaging. A dimensionless entropy parameter, ΔE, as derived from the time-resolved microscopic images, was employed to describe the evolution of morphological variation of GUVs. As an indication of membrane instability, the budding process showed three successive temporal regimes as a common feature: a lag phase prior to the initiation of budding characterized by LP (in s), a budding phase when ΔE increased with a rate of kΔE (in s-1), and an ending phase with morphology stabilized at a constant ΔEend (dimensionless). We show that the phase-associated parameters can be objectively obtained by fitting the ΔE-t kinetics curves to a Boltzmann function and that all of the parameters are rather sensitive to β-Car concentration. As for the efficacy of these parameters in quantifying the protection potency of β-Car, kΔE is shown to be most sensitive for β-Car in a concentration regime of biological significance of <1 × 10-7 M, whereas LP and ΔEend are more sensitive for β-Car concentrations exceeding 1 × 10-7 M. Furthermore, based on the results of GUV imaging and fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies, we have revealed for different phases the mechanistic interplay among 1O2* diffusion, PC-OOH accumulation, Chl a and/or β-Car consumption, and the morphological variation. The developed assay should be valuable for characterizing the potency of antioxidants or prooxidants in the protection or destruction of the membrane integrity of GUVs.

Abstract
Purpose: Cardiac injury is a major cause of death in cancer survivors, and biomarkers for it are detectable only after tissue injury has occurred. Extracellular vesicles (EV) remove toxic biomolecules from tissues and can be detected in the blood. Here, we evaluate the potential of using circulating EVs as early diagnostic markers for long-term cardiac injury.Experimental Design: Using a mouse model of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac injury, we quantified serum EVs, analyzed proteomes, measured oxidized protein levels in serum EVs released after DOX treatment, and investigated the alteration of EV content.Results: Treatment with DOX caused a significant increase in circulating EVs (DOX_EV) compared with saline-treated controls. DOX_EVs exhibited a higher level of 4-hydroxynonenal adducted proteins, a lipid peroxidation product linked to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Proteomic profiling of DOX_EVs revealed the distinctive presence of brain/heart, muscle, and liver isoforms of glycogen phosphorylase (GP), and their origins were verified to be heart, skeletal muscle, and liver, respectively. The presence of brain/heart GP (PYGB) in DOX_EVs correlated with a reduction of PYGB in heart, but not brain tissues. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) overexpression, as well as pretreatment with cardioprotective agents and MnSOD mimetics, resulted in a reduction of EV-associated PYGB in mice treated with DOX. Kinetic studies indicated that EVs containing PYGB were released prior to the rise of cardiac troponin in the blood after DOX treatment, suggesting that PYGB is an early indicator of cardiac injury.Conclusions: EVs containing PYGB are an early and sensitive biomarker of cardiac injury.

Abstract
The short- and long-term side effects of chemotherapy limit the maximum therapeutic dose and impair quality of life of survivors. Injury to normal tissues, especially chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, is an unintended outcome that presents devastating health impacts. Approximately half of the drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for cancer treatment are associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species, and Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of them. Dox undergoes redox cycling by involving its quinone structure in the production of superoxide free radicals, which are thought to be instrumental to the role it plays in cardiomyopathy. Dox-induced protein oxidation changes protein function, translocation, and aggregation that are toxic to cells. To maintain cellular homeostasis, oxidized proteins can be degraded intracellularly by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway or by autophagy, depending on the redox status of the cell. Alternatively, the cell can remove oxidized proteins by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs), which can be transferred to neighboring or distant cells, thereby instigating an intercellular oxidative stress response. In this article, we discuss the role of EVs in oxidative stress response, the potential of EVs as sensitive biomarkers of oxidative stress, and the role of superoxide dismutase in attenuating EV-associated oxidative stress response resulting from chemotherapy.

Abstract
The incorporation of hypericin (Hyp) from aqueous solutions into giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membranes has been studied experimentally and by means of kinetic Monte Carlo modeling. The time evolution of Hyp fluorescence originating from Hyp monomers dissolved in the GUV membrane has been recorded by confocal microscopy and while trapping individual GUVs in optical tweezers. It was shown that after reaching a maximum, the fluorescence intensity gradually decreased toward longer times. Formation of oversized Hyp clusters has been observed on the GUV surface at prolonged time. A simplified kinetic Monte Carlo model is presented to follow the aggregation/dissociation processes of Hyp molecules in the membrane. The simulation results reproduced the basic experimental observations: the scaling of the characteristic fluorescence decay time with the vesicle diameter and the buildup of large Hyp clusters in the GUV membrane.

Abstract
Oxidation of cellular structures is typically an undesirable process that can be a hallmark of certain diseases. On the other hand, photooxidation is a necessary step of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a cancer treatment causing cell death upon light irradiation. Here, the effect of photooxidation on the microscopic viscosity of model lipid bilayers constructed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine has been studied. A molecular rotor has been employed that displays a viscosity-dependent fluorescence lifetime as a quantitative probe of the bilayer's viscosity. Thus, spatially-resolved viscosity maps of lipid photooxidation in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were obtained, testing the effect of the positioning of the oxidant relative to the rotor in the bilayer. It was found that PDT has a strong impact on viscoelastic properties of lipid bilayers, which 'travels' through the bilayer to areas that have not been irradiated directly. A dramatic difference in viscoelastic properties of oxidized GUVs by Type I (electron transfer) and Type II (singlet oxygen-based) photosensitisers was also detected.

Abstract
The application of ionic liquids (ILs) in many industrially relevant processes provides an urgent need to better understand their molecular interactions with biological systems. A detailed understanding of the cytotoxicity mechanism of ILs can be helpful in facilitating the molecular design of nontoxic ILs. Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate the effects of imidazolium-based ILs on several lipid bilayer morphologies. Our results demonstrate that the asymmetric insertion of IL cations into one side of a lipid bilayer leaflet enhances the leaflet strain, which upon reaching a critical value triggers a morphological disruption in the bilayer. Consistently, the bending modulus of the bilayer is reduced by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude relative to that of an IL-free planar bilayer prior to the disruption event. Our results suggest that ILs that can easily insert into the lipid bilayer without diffusing across or inducing lipid flip-flop can be more disruptive to a lipid biomembrane.

Abstract
Biological membranes and model lipid systems containing high amounts of unsaturated lipids and sterols are subject to chemical and/or photo-induced lipid oxidation, which leads to the creation of exotic oxidized lipid products (OxPLs). OxPLs are known to have significant physiological impact in cellular systems and also affect physical properties of both biological and model lipid bilayers. In this paper we (i) provide a perspective on the existing literature on simulations of lipid bilayer systems containing oxidized lipid species as well as the main related experimental results, (ii) describe our new data of all-atom and coarse-grained simulations of hydroperoxidized lipid monolayer and bilayer systems and (iii) provide a comparison of the MARTINI and ELBA coarse grained force fields for lipid bilayer systems. We show that the better electrostatic treatment of interactions in ELBA is able to resolve previous conflicts between experiments and simulations.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation has been linked to plasma membrane damage leading to cell death. In previous work, we examined the effect of oxidation on bilayer permeability by replacing defined amounts of an unsaturated lipid species with the corresponding phospholipid product that would result from oxidative tail scission of that species. This study adds the cleaved tail fragment, better mimicking the chemical results of oxidation. Permeability of PEG12-NBD, a small, uncharged molecule, was measured for vesicles with oxidation concentration corresponding to between 0 and 18 mol % of total lipid content. Permeability was measured using a microfluidic trap to capture the vesicles and spinning disk confocal microscopy (SDCM) to measure the transport of fluorescent PEG12-NBD at the equatorial plane. The thicknesses of lipid bilayers containing oxidized species were estimated by measuring capacitance of a black lipid membrane while simultaneously measuring bilayer area. We found that relative to chemically modeled oxidized bilayers without tail fragments, bilayers containing cleaved tail groups were less permeable for the same degree of oxidation. Curiously, membrane capacitance measurements indicated that the addition of tail fragments to chemically modeled oxidized bilayers also thinned these bilayers relative to samples with no tail fragments; in other words, the more permeable membranes were thicker. Above 12.5% chemically modeled oxidation, compositions both with and without the cleaved tail groups showed pore formation. This work highlights the complexity of the relationship between chemically modeled lipid bilayer oxidation and cell membrane properties.

Abstract
Phospholipids having a polyunsaturated acyl chain are abundant in biological membranes, but their behavior in lipid mixtures is difficult to study. Here we elucidate the nature of such mixtures with this report of the first ternary phase diagram containing the polyunsaturated lipid SDPC in mixtures of BSM/SDPC/Chol (brain sphingomyelin/1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/cholesterol). These mixtures show coexisting macroscopic liquid-disordered (Ld) and liquid-ordered (Lo) phase separation, with phase boundaries determined by FRET and by fluorescence microscopy imaging of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Surprisingly, SDPC mixes with BSM/Chol similarly to how DOPC and POPC mix with BSM/Chol. Notably, intermediate states are produced within the Ld+Lo liquid-liquid immiscibility region upon addition of fourth component POPC. These mixtures of BSM/SDPC/POPC/Chol exhibit nanoscopic Ld+Lo domains over a very large volume of composition space, possibly because Ld/Lo line tension is not high.

Abstract
In a previous work, we have shown that a spatially localized transmembrane pH gradient, produced by acid micro-injection near the external side of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles, leads to the formation of tubules that retract after the dissipation of this gradient. These tubules have morphologies similar to mitochondrial cristae. The tubulation effect is attributable to direct phospholipid packing modification in the outer leaflet, that is promoted by protonation of cardiolipin headgroups. In this study, we compare the case of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles with that of giant unilamellar vesicles that contain phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Local acidification also promotes formation of tubules in the latter. However, compared with cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles the tubules are longer, exhibit a visible pearling, and have a much longer lifetime after acid micro-injection is stopped. We attribute these differences to an additional mechanism that increases monolayer surface imbalance, namely inward PG flip-flop promoted by the local transmembrane pH gradient. Simulations using a fully nonlinear membrane model as well as geometrical calculations are in agreement with this hypothesis. Interestingly, among yeast mutants deficient in cardiolipin biosynthesis, only the crd1-null mutant, which accumulates phosphatidylglycerol, displays significant mitochondrial activity. Our work provides a possible explanation of such a property and further emphasizes the salient role of specific lipids in mitochondrial function.
