Abstract
The rise of the populations of antibiotic resistant bacteria represents an increasing threat to human health. In addition to the synthesis of new antibiotics, which is an extremely expensive and time-consuming process, one of the ways to combat bacterial infections is the use of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the vehicles for targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs. Since such a strategy requires the investigation of the effect of Au NPs (with and without drugs) on both bacterial and human cells, we investigated how the presence of coating-free Au NPs affects the physicochemical properties of lipid membranes that model prokaryotic (PRO) and eukaryotic (EU) cells. PRO/EU systems prepared as multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) and hybrid structures (HSs) from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (DPPG)/1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (DPPS) in the absence (MLVs)/presence (HSs) of differently distributed Au NPs (sizes ∼20 nm) reported stabilization of the gel phase of PRO systems in comparison with EU one (DSC data of PRO/EU were Tm(MLVs) ≈ 41.8 °C/42.0 °C, Tm¯ (HSs) ≈ 43.1 °C/42.4 °C, whereas UV-Vis response Tm(MLVs) ≈ 41.5 °C/42.0 °C, Tm¯ (HSs) ≈ 42.9 °C/41.1 °C). Vibrational spectroscopic data unraveled a substantial impact of Au NPs on the non-polar part of lipid bilayers, emphasizing the increase of kink and gauche conformers of the hydrocarbon chain. By interpreting the latter as Au NPs-induced defects, which exert the greatest effect when Au NPs are found exclusively outside the lipid membrane, these findings suggested that Au NPs reduced the compactness of EU-based lipid bilayers much more than in analogous PRO systems. Since the uncoated Au NPs manifested adverse effects when applied as antimicrobials, the results obtained in this work contribute towards recognizing AuNP functionalization as a strategy in tuning and reversing this effect.

Abstract
Membrane fusion is closely related to plasma membrane domains rich in cone-shaped phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) lipids that can reverse membrane curvature under certain conditions. The phase transition of PE-based lipid membranes from the lamellar fluid phase (Lα) to the inverse hexagonal phase (HII) is commonly taken as a general model in reconstructing the membrane fusion pathway, and whose structural features have been mostly described so far using structural and microscopic techniques. The aim of this paper is to decipher the optical and molecular features of Lβ → Lα and especially of Lα → HII transition of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE) lipids at pH = 7.0 when they are initially prepared in the form of both multi- and unilamellar liposomes (MLVs and LUVs). The distinction between optical properties of MLS- and LUVs-derived HII phase, provided from turbidity-sensitive temperature-dependent UV-Vis spectra, was attributed to different formation mechanisms of HII phase. Most importantly, from FTIR spectroscopic data of POPE lipids in Lβ (15 °C), Lα (50 °C) and HII (85 °C) phases we identified the changes in molecular features of POPE lipids during phase transitions. Among the latter, by far the most significant is different hydration pattern of POPE lipids in MLVs- and LUVs-derived HII phase which extends from the polar-apolar interface all the way to the terminal amino group of the POPE lipid, along with the changes in the conformation of glycerol backbone as evidenced by the signature of α-methylene groups. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed higher water penetration in HII phase and provided insight into hydrogen bonding patterns.

Abstract
Metal pollutants are a growing concern due to increased use in mining and other industrial processes. Moreover, the use of metals in daily life is becoming increasingly prevalent. Metals such as manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni) are toxic in high amounts whereas lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are acutely toxic at low µM concentrations. These metals are associated with system dysfunction in humans including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other cellular process'. One known but lesser studied target of these metals are lipids that are key membrane building blocks or serve signalling functions. It was shown that Mn, Co, Ni, Pb, and Cd cause rigidification of liposomes and increase the phase transition in membranes composed of both saturated or partly unsaturated phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylserine (PS). The selected metals showed differential effects that were more pronounced on saturated lipids. In addition, more rigidity was induced in the biologically relevant liquid-crystalline phase. Moreover, metal affinity, induced rigidification and liposome size increases also varied with the headgroup architecture, whereby the carboxyl group of PS appeared to play an important role. Thus, it can be inferred that Mn, Co, Ni, Cd, and Pb may have preferred binding coordination with the lipid headgroup, degree of acyl chain unsaturation, and membrane phase.

Abstract
In contrast to symmetric unilamellar liposomes (sLUVs) prepared from a mixture of different lipids, asymmetric ones (aLUVs) with different lipid composition in the inner and outer membrane leaflets are more suitable model systems of eukaryotic plasma membranes. However, apart from the challenging preparation of asymmetric liposomes and small amounts of obtained asymmetric unilamellar liposomes (aLUVs), a major drawback is the qualitative characterization of asymmetry, as each of the techniques used so far has certain limitations. In this regard, we prepared aLUVs composed dominantly of DPPC(out)/DPPS(in) lipids and, along with 1H NMR and DSC characterization, we showed for the first time how FTIR spectroscopy can be used in the presence of (a)symmetry between DPPC/DPPS lipid bilayers. Using second derivative FTIR spectra we demonstrated not only that the hydration of lipids glycerol backbone and choline moiety of DPPC differs in s/aLUVs, but in addition that the lateral interactions between hydrocarbon chains during the phase change display different trend in s/aLUVs. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed different chain ordering and packing between s/a bilayers, with a significant influence of temperature, i.e. membrane phase.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine lipids are anionic molecules present in eukaryotic plasma membranes, where they have essential physiological roles. The altered distribution of phosphatidylserine in cells such as apoptotic cancer cells, which, unlike healthy cells, expose phosphatidylserine, is of direct interest for the development of biomarkers. We present here applications of a recently implemented Depth-First-Search graph algorithm to dissect the dynamics of transient water-mediated lipid clusters at the interface of a model bilayer composed of 1-palmytoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-2-phosphatidylserine (POPS) and cholesterol. Relative to a reference POPS bilayer without cholesterol, in the POPS:cholesterol bilayer there is a somewhat less frequent sampling of relatively complex and extended water-mediated hydrogen-bond networks of POPS headgroups. The analysis protocol used here is more generally applicable to other lipid:cholesterol bilayers.

Abstract
The ability of arginine-rich peptides to cross the lipid bilayer and enter cytoplasm, unlike their lysine-based analogues, is intensively studied in the context of cell-penetrating peptides. Although the experiments have not yet reconstructed their internalization mechanism, the computational studies have shown that the type or charge of lipid polar groups is one of the crucial factors in their translocation. In order to gain more detailed insight into the interaction of guanidinium (Gdm+) and ammonium (NH4+) cations, as important building blocks in arginine and lysine amino acids, with lipid bilayers, we conducted the experimental and computational study that tackles this phenomenon. The adsorption of Gdm+ and NH4+ on lipid bilayers prepared from a zwitterionic (DPPC) and an anionic (DPPS) lipid was examined by thermoanalytic and spectroscopic techniques. Using temperature-dependent UV-Vis spectroscopy and DSC calorimetry we determined the impact of Gdm+ and NH4+ on the thermotropic properties of lipid bilayers. FTIR data, along with molecular dynamics simulations, unraveled the molecular-level details on the nature of their interactions, showing the proton transfer between NH4+ and DPPS, but not between Gdm+ and DPPS. The findings originated from this work imply that Gdm+ and NH4+ form qualitatively different interactions with lipids of different charge which is reflected in the physico-chemical interactions that arginine-and lysine-based peptides establish at a complex and chemically heterogeneous environment such as the biological membrane.

Abstract
The effect of lipid composition on models of the inner leaflet of mammalian cell membranes has been investigated. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and X-ray and neutron reflectivity have been used to characterize lipid packing and solvation, while electrochemical and infrared spectroscopic methods have been employed to probe phase behavior in an applied electric field. Introducing a small quantity of the anionic lipid dimyristoylphosphatidylserine (DMPS) into bilayers of zwitterionic dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) results in a significant change in the bilayer response to an applied field: the tilt of the hydrocarbon chains increases before returning to the original tilt angle on detachment of the bilayer. Equimolar mixtures, with slightly closer chain packing, exhibit a similar but weaker response. The latter also tend to incorporate more solvent during this electrochemical phase transition, at levels similar to those of pure DMPS. Reflectivity measurements reveal greater solvation of lipid layers for DMPS > 30 mol %, matching the greater propensity for DMPS-rich bilayers to incorporate water. Taken together, the data indicate that the range of 10-35 mol % DMPS provides optimum bilayer properties (in flexibility and function as a barrier), which may explain why the DMPS content of cell membranes tends to be found within this range.

Abstract
Although single-lipid bilayers are usually considered models of eukaryotic plasma membranes, their research drops drastically when it comes to exclusively anionic lipid membranes. Being a major anionic phospholipid in the inner leaflet of eukaryote membranes, phosphatidylserine-constituted lipid membranes were occasionally explored in the form of multilamellar liposomes (MLV), but their inherent instability caused a serious lack of efforts undertaken on large unilamellar liposomes (LUVs) as more realistic model membrane systems. In order to compensate the existing shortcomings, we performed a comprehensive calorimetric, spectroscopic and MD simulation study of time-varying structural features of LUV made from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (DPPS), whereas the corresponding MLV were examined as a reference. A substantial uncertainty of UV/Vis data of LUV from which only Tm was unambiguously determined (53.9 ± 0.8 °C), along with rather high uncertainty on the high-temperature range of DPPS melting profile obtained from DSC (≈50-59 °C), presumably reflect distinguished surface structural features in LUV. The FTIR signatures of glycerol moiety and those originated from carboxyl group serve as a strong support that in LUV, unlike in MLV, highly curved surfaces occur continuously, whereas the details on the attenuation of surface features in MLV were unraveled by molecular dynamics.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is among the greatest public health and safety concerns in the 21st century, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB, infects alveolar macrophages and uses these cells as one of its primary sites of replication. The current TB treatment regimen, which consist of chemotherapy involving a combination of 3-4 antimicrobials for a duration of 6-12 months, is marked with significant side effects, toxicity, and poor compliance. Targeted drug delivery offers a strategy that could overcome many of the problems of current TB treatment by specifically targeting infected macrophages. Recent advances in nanotechnology and material science have opened an avenue to explore drug carriers that actively and passively target macrophages. This approach can increase the drug penetration into macrophages by using ligands on the nanocarrier that interact with specific receptors for macrophages. This review encompasses the recent development of drug carriers specifically targeting macrophages actively and passively. Future directions and challenges associated with development of effective TB treatment is also discussed.

Abstract
3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoate of catechin (TMBC) is a semisynthetic catechin which shows strong antiproliferative activity against malignant melanoma cells. The amphiphilic nature of the molecule suggests that the membrane could be a potential site of action, hence the study of its interaction with lipid bilayers is mandatory in order to gain information on the effect of the catechin on the membrane properties and dynamics. Anionic phospholipids, though being minor components of the membrane, possess singular physical and biochemical properties that make them physiologically essential. Utilizing phosphatidylserine biomimetic membranes, we study the interaction between the catechin and anionic bilayers, bringing together a variety of experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulation. The experimental data suggest that the molecule is embedded into the phosphatidylserine bilayers, where it perturbs the thermotropic gel to liquid crystalline phase transition. In the gel phase, the catechin promotes the formation of interdigitation, and in the liquid crystalline phase, it decreases the bilayer thickness and increases the hydrogen bonding pattern of the interfacial region of the bilayer. The simulation data agree with the experimental ones and indicate that the molecule is located in the interior of the anionic bilayer as monomer and small clusters reaching the carbonyl region of the phospholipid, where it also disturbs the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between neighboring lipids. Our observations suggest that the catechin incorporates well into phosphatidylserine bilayers, where it produces structural changes that could affect the functioning of the membrane.

Abstract
Metal ion-membrane interactions have gained appreciable attention over the years resulting in increasing investigations into the mode of action of toxic and essential metals. More work has focused on essential ions like Ca or Mg and toxic metals like Cd and Pb, whereas this study investigates the effects of the abundant essential trace metal manganese with model lipid systems by screening zwitterionic and anionic glycerophospholipids. Despite its essentiality, deleterious impact towards cell survival is known under Mn stress. The fluorescent dyes Laurdan and diphenylhexatriene were used to assess changes in membrane fluidity both in the head group and hydrophobic core region of the membrane, respectively. Mn-rigidified membranes composed of the anionic phospholipids, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, and phosphatidylserine. Strong binding resulted in large shifts of the phase transition temperature. The increase was in the order phosphatidylserine > phosphatidylglycerol > cardiolipin, and in all cases, saturated analogues > mono-unsaturated forms. Dynamic light scattering measurements revealed that Mn caused extensive aggregation of liposomes composed of saturated analogues of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine, whilst the mono-unsaturated analogue had significant membrane swelling. Increased membrane rigidity may interfere with permeability of ions and small molecules, possibly disrupting cellular homeostasis. Moreover, liposome size changes could indicate fusion, which could also be detrimental to cellular transport. Overall, this study provided further understanding into the effects of Mn with biomembranes, whereby the altered membrane properties are consequential to the proper structural and signalling functions of membrane lipids.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of the kinetics and thermodynamics of chemical interactions at the phospholipid bilayer interface is crucial for developing potential drug-delivery applications. Here we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and surface-sensitive second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy to study the molecular adsorption and transport of a small organic cation, malachite green (MG), at the surface of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (DOPG) liposomes in water at different temperatures. The temperature-dependent adsorption isotherms, obtained by SHG measurements, provide information on adsorbate concentration, free energy of adsorption, and associated changes in enthalpy and entropy, showing that the adsorption process is exothermic, resulting in increased overall entropy. Additionally, the molecular transport kinetics are found to be more rapid under higher temperatures. Corresponding MD simulations are used to calculate the free energy profiles of the adsorption and the molecular orientation distributions of MG at different temperatures, showing excellent agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
β-Alaninol and its derivatives were reported to exhibit interesting biological and pharmacological activities and showed potential application in formulating drug delivery vehicles. In the present study, we report the synthesis and characterization of N-acyl-β-alaninols (NABAOHs) bearing saturated acyl chains (n = 8-20) with respect to thermotropic phase behavior, supramolecular organization and interaction with diacylphosphatidylcholine, a major membrane lipid. Results obtained from DSC and powder XRD studies revealed that the transition temperatures (Tt), transition enthalpies (ΔHt), transition entropies (ΔSt) and d-spacings of NABAOHs show odd-even alteration. A linear dependence was observed in the values of ΔHt and ΔSt on the acyl chain length, independently for even and odd acyl chains in both dry and hydrated states; further, the even chainlength molecules exhibited higher values than the odd chainlength series. The crystals structures of N-lauroyl-β-alaninol and N-palmitoyl-β-alaninol, solved in monoclinic system in the P21/c space group, show that the NABAOHs adopt a tilted bilayer structure. A number of NH⋯O, O-H⋯O, and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl and amide moieties of the head groups of NABAOH molecules belonging to adjacent and opposite layers stabilize the overall supramolecular organization of the self-assembled bilayer system. DSC studies on the interaction of N-myristoyl-β-alaninol (NMBAOH) with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) indicate that these two lipids mix well up to 45 mol% NMBAOH, whereas phase separation was observed at higher contents of NMBAOH. Transmission electron microscopic studies reveal that mixtures containing 20-50 mol% NMBAOH form stable ULVs of 90-150 nm diameter, suitable for use in drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Starting from 1-acetyl-1-cyclohexene, three enantiomeric pairs (ee ≥99%) of bicyclic δ-halo-γ-lactones with cyclohexane ring were obtained in five-step synthesis. The key stereochemical steps were lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic 1-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl) ethanol followed by transfer of chirality to ethyl 2-(2-ethylidenecyclohexyl) acetate in the Johnson-Claisen rearrangement. Synthesized halolactones exhibited antiproliferative activity towards canine B-cell leukemia cells (GL-1) and canine B-cell chronic leukemia cells (CLB70) and the most potent (IC50 18.43 ± 1.46 μg/mL against GL-1, IC50 11.40 ± 0.40 μg/mL against CLB70) comparable with the control etoposide, was (1R,6R,1'S)-1-(1'-chloroethyl)-9- oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-8-one (8b). All halolactones did not have a toxic effect on erythrocytes and did not change the fluidity of membranes in the hydrophobic region of the lipid bilayer. Only weak changes in the hydrophilic area were observed, like the degree of lipid packing and associated hydration. The racemic halolactones were also tested for their antimicrobial properties and found to exhibit selectivity towards bacteria, in particular, towards Proteus mirabilis ATCC 35659.

Abstract
Many cytoplasmic proteins contain a hydrophobic acyl chain, which facilitates protein binding to cell membranes. Hydrophobic interactions between the exposed acyl chain of the protein and hydrocarbon chains of lipids in the cell membrane are the driving force for this specific lipid-protein interaction. Recent studies point out that in addition to hydrophobic interactions the charge-charge and charge-dipole interactions between the polar head groups and basic amino acids contribute significantly to the binding process. Recoverin possesses a myristoyl chain at the N-terminus. In the presence of Ca2+ ions, the protein undergoes structural rearrangements, leading to the extrusion of the myristoyl chain, facilitating the protein binding to the membrane. In this work, we investigate the impact of interactions between the polar head group region of lipid molecules and recoverin which binds to the model membrane. The interaction with a planar lipid bilayer composed of phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol with myristoylated and nonmyristoylated recoverin is studied by in situ polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The binding of recoverin to the lipid bilayer depends on the transmembrane potential, indicating that the orientation of the permanent surface dipole in the supramolecular assembly of the lipid membrane influences the protein attachment to the membrane surface. Analysis of the amide I' mode indicates that the orientation of recoverin bound to the lipid bilayer is independent of the presence of myristoyl chain in the protein and of the folding of the protein into the tense or relaxed state. In contrast, it changes as a function of the membrane potential. At positive transmembrane potentials, the α-helical fragments of recoverin are oriented predominantly parallel to the bilayer surface. This orientation facilitates the insertion of the acyl chain of the protein into the hydrophobic region of the bilayer. At negative transmembrane potentials, the α-helical fragments of recoverin change their orientation with respect to the membrane surface, which is followed by the removal of the myristoyl chain from the membrane.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides are molecules of natural origin, produced by organisms such as insects, which have focused attention as potential antiparasitic agents. They can cause the death of parasites such Leishmania by interacting with their membrane. In this study, additional information was obtained on how the anionic peptide 2 and cecropin D-like peptide derived from Galleria mellonella interact with liposomes that mimic the composition of the Leishmania membrane. In order to do this, lipid bilayers consisting of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine, dimyristoylphosphatidylserine, and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol were constructed. The effect of the peptides on these membranes was evaluated using calorimetry analysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results obtained using differential scanning calorimetry indicated a concentration-dependent effect on membranes composed of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol, showing a preference of both peptides for anionic lipids. The binding of the peptides drastically reduced the transition enthalpy in the phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol liposomes. The results suggest that the mode of action of anionic peptide 2 and cecropin D-like peptide is different, with a higher effect of cecropin D-like on the anionic lipids, which led to changes in the main transition temperature and a complete solubilization of the vesicles. Interactions between peptides and phosphatidylcholine, which is the most abundant lipid on the surface of Leishmania cells, were evaluated using isothermal titration calorimetry and the anisotropy of fluorescence of DPH. The peptides had a slight effect on the gel phase of the phosphatidylcholine, with changes in the anisotropy correlated with that observed by DSC. The results showed a selectivity of these peptides toward some lipids, which will direct the study of the development of new drugs.

Abstract
Two endothelial cell lines were selected as models to investigate an effect of incubation with cytokine tumor necrosis factor type α (TNF-α) using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging spectroscopy. Both cell lines are often used in laboratories and are typical lung vascular endothelial cells (HMLVEC) derived from the fusion of umbilical vein endothelial cells with lung adenocarcinoma cells (EA.hy926). This study was focused on alteration of spectral changes accompanying inflammation at the cellular level by applying two resolution systems of FT-IR microscopy. The standard approach, with a pixel size of ca. 5.5 μm2, determined the inflammatory state of the whole cell, while a high-magnification resolution (pixel size of ca. 1.1 μm2) provided information at the subcellular level. Importantly, the analysis of IR spectra recorded with different modes produced similar results overall and yielded unambiguous classification of inflamed cells. Generally, the most significant changes in the cells under the influence of TNF-α are related with lipids-their composition and concentration; however, segregation of cells into subcellular compartments provided an additional insight into proteins and nucleic acids related events. The observed spectral alterations are specific for the type of endothelial cell line.

Abstract
Viral membrane fusion is an orchestrated process triggered by membrane-anchored viral fusion glycoproteins. The S2 subunit of the spike glycoprotein from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) contains internal domains called fusion peptides (FP) that play essential roles in virus entry. Although membrane fusion has been broadly studied, there are still major gaps in the molecular details of lipid rearrangements in the bilayer during fusion peptide-membrane interactions. Here we employed differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electron spin resonance (ESR) to gather information on the membrane fusion mechanism promoted by two putative SARS FPs. DSC data showed the peptides strongly perturb the structural integrity of anionic vesicles and support the hypothesis that the peptides generate opposing curvature stresses on phosphatidylethanolamine membranes. ESR showed that both FPs increase lipid packing and head group ordering as well as reduce the intramembrane water content for anionic membranes. Therefore, bending moment in the bilayer could be generated, promoting negative curvature. The significance of the ordering effect, membrane dehydration, changes in the curvature properties and the possible role of negatively charged phospholipids in helping to overcome the high kinetic barrier involved in the different stages of the SARS-CoV-mediated membrane fusion are discussed.

Abstract
The authors report on the effect of ionic strength on the formation of supported vesicle layers of anionic phospholipids 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-glycerol (DMPG) and dimyristoylphosphatidylserine (DMPS) onto gold. Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring the authors show that vesicle adsorption is mainly governed by NaCl concentration, reflecting the importance of electrostatic interactions in anionic lipids, as compared to zwitterionic 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. At low ionic strength, low or no adsorption is observed as a result of vesicle-vesicle electrostatic repulsion. At medium ionic strength, the negative charges of DMPG and DMPS are screened resulting in larger adsorption and a highly dissipative intact vesicle layer. In addition, DMPS exhibits a peculiar behavior at high ionic strength that depends on the temperature of the process.

Pitfalls and promises in FTIR spectromicroscopy analyses to monitor iron-mediated DNA damage in sperm. Reprod Toxicol 2016; 61:39-46. [PMID: 26923261 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2016.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2015] [Revised: 02/01/2016] [Accepted: 02/19/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Many drugs, chemicals, and environmental factors can impair sperm functionality by inducing DNA damage, one of the important causes of reduced fertility potential. The use of vibrational spectromicroscopy represents a promising approach for monitoring DNA integrity in sperm, although some limitations exist, depending from the experimental conditions. Here, we report that when using FTIR spectromicroscopy to reveal oxidative stress mediated by Fenton's reaction on hydrated sperm samples, DNA damage interpretation is partially compromised by unexpected cell surface precipitates. The precipitates give a broad band in the 1150-1000cm(-1) infrared region, which partially covers one of the signatures of DNA (phosphate stretching bands), and are detected as iron and oxygen containing material when using XRF spectroscopy. On the other hand, the analyses further support the potential of FTIR spectromicroscopy to reveal cellular oxidative damage events such as lipid peroxidation, protein misfolding and aggregations, as well as DNA strain breaks.

Physical Effects of Buckwheat Extract on Biological Membrane In Vitro and Its Protective Properties. J Membr Biol 2015; 249:155-70.

Abstract
Buckwheat is a valuable source of many biologically active compounds and nutrients. It has properties that reduce blood cholesterol levels, and so reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, seals the capillaries, and lowers blood pressure. The aim of the study was to determine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of polyphenols contained in extracts from buckwheat husks and stalks, the biological activity of the extracts, and biophysical effects of their interaction with the erythrocyte membrane, treated as a model of the cell. An analysis of the extract’s composition has shown that buckwheat husk and stalk extracts are a rich source of polyphenolic compounds, the stalk extracts showing more compounds than the husk extract. The study allowed to determine the location which incorporated polyphenols occupy in the erythrocyte membrane and changes in the membrane properties caused by them. It was found that the extracts do not induce hemolysis of red blood cells, causing an increase in osmotic resistance of erythrocytes. They affect mainly the hydrophilic region by changing the degree of order of the polar heads of lipids, but do little to change the fluidity of the membrane and its hydration. The results showed also that polyphenolic substances included in the extracts well protect the membranes of red blood cells against oxidation and exhibit anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract
Glycolipids are amphiphilic molecules which bear an oligo- or polysaccharide as hydrophilic head group and hydrocarbon chains in varying numbers and lengths as hydrophobic part. They play an important role in life science as well as in material science. Their biological and physiological functions are quite diverse, ranging from mediators of cell-cell recognition processes, constituents of membrane domains or as membrane-forming units. Glycolipids form an exceptional class of liquid-crystal mesophases due to the fact that their self-organisation obeys more complex rules as compared to classical monophilic liquid-crystals. Like other amphiphiles, the supra-molecular structures formed by glycolipids are driven by their chemical structure; however, the details of this process are still hardly understood. Based on the synthesis of specific glycolipids with a clearly defined chemical structure, e.g., type and length of the sugar head group, acyl chain linkage, substitution pattern, hydrocarbon chain lengths and saturation, combined with a profound physico-chemical characterisation of the formed mesophases, the principles of the organisation in different aggregate structures of the glycolipids can be obtained. The importance of the observed and formed phases and their properties are discussed with respect to their biological and physiological relevance. The presented data describe briefly the strategies used for the synthesis of the used glycolipids. The main focus, however, lies on the thermotropic as well as lyotropic characterisation of the self-organised structures and formed phases based on physico-chemical and biophysical methods linked to their potential biological implications and relevance.

Abstract
Phase behavior and structural properties were examined for phospholipid bilayers having different headgroups (DMPC, DMPS and DMPE) with added n-alkanes to study effect of flexible additives. Change in the temperatures of main transition of the lipid/alkane mixtures against the length of added alkanes depends largely on the headgroup. Theoretical analysis of the change of the temperature of transition indicates that the headgroup dependence is dominantly originated in the strong dependence of total enthalpy on the headgroups. The results of X-ray diffraction show that the enthalpic stabilization due to enhanced packing of acyl chains of the lipid by alkanes in the gel phase causes the headgroup-dependent change in the phase transition behavior. The enhanced packing in the gel phase also leads to easy emergence of the subgel phase with very short relaxation time at room temperature in the DMPE-based bilayers.

Abstract
The paper addresses theory of Sum Frequency Generation imaging of an atomic force microscopy tip-induced deformation of a bilayer phospholipid membrane deposited over a pore: known as a nano-drum system. Image modeling employed nonlinearities of the normal modes specific to hydrocarbon terminal methyls, which are distributed about the deformed surfaces of inner and outer leaflets. The deformed profiles are according to the solutions of shape equation for Canham-Helfrich Hamiltonian accounting properties of four membranes, which differ in elasticity and adhesion. The results indicate that in continuous deformed surfaces, the difference in the curvature of the outer and inner leaflets dominates in the imaged nonlinearity. This is different comparing to the results for a perfect bilayer spherical cap system (the subject of previous study), where nonlinear image response is dominated by the mismatch of the inner and outer leaflets' surface areas (as projected to the image plane) at the edge of perfectly spherical structure. The results of theoretical studies, here, demonstrate that Sum Frequency Generation imaging in continuous and deformed bilayer surfaces are helpful to address curvature locally and anticipate mechanical properties of membrane. The articles discuss applicability and practical limitations of the approach. Combination of Atomic Force Microscopy and Sum Frequency Generation imaging under controlled tip-induced deformation provides a good opportunity to probe and test membranes physical properties with rigor of adopted theory.

Abstract
Despite favorable advancements in therapy cancer is still not curative in many cases, which is often due to inadequate specificity for tumor cells. In this study derivatives of a short cationic peptide derived from the human host defense peptide lactoferricin were optimized in their selective toxicity towards cancer cells. We proved that the target of these peptides is the negatively charged membrane lipid phosphatidylserine (PS), specifically exposed on the surface of cancer cells. We have studied the membrane interaction of three peptides namely LF11-322, its N-acyl derivative 6-methyloctanoyl-LF11-322 and its retro repeat derivative R(etro)-DIM-P-LF11-322 with liposomes mimicking cancerous and non-cancerous cell membranes composed of PS and phosphatidylcholine (PC), respectively. Calorimetric and permeability studies showed that N-acylation and even more the repeat derivative of LF11-322 leads to strongly improved interaction with the cancer mimic PS, whereas only the N-acyl derivative also slightly affects PC. Tryptophan fluorescence of selective peptide R-DIM-P-LF11-322 revealed specific peptide penetration into the PS membrane interface and circular dichroism showed change of its secondary structure by increase of proportion of β-sheets just in the presence of the cancer mimic. Data correlated with in vitro studies with cell lines of human melanomas, their metastases and melanocytes, revealing R-DIM-P-LF11-322 to exhibit strongly increased specificity for cancer cells. This indicates the need of high affinity to the target PS, a minimum length and net positive charge, an adequate but moderate hydrophobicity, and capability of adoption of a defined structure exclusively in presence of the target membrane for high antitumor activity.

Abstract
This paper reports measurements on the pH dependence of the electrical capacitance of lipid membranes formed by 1:1 phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine mixtures. A theoretical model was developed to describe this dependence, in which the contributions of functional groups (as the active centers of adsorption of the hydrogen and hydroxide ions) to the overall membrane capacitance were assumed to be additive. The proposed model was verified experimentally using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The theoretical predictions agreed with the experimental results over the measured pH range. A minimum corresponding to the isoelectric point appeared in both the theoretical equation and the experimental data.

Abstract
This report presents evidence that the following Solanum steroids: solasodine, diosgenin and solanine interact with human erythrocytes and molecular models of their membranes as follows: a) X-ray diffraction studies showed that the compounds at low molar ratios (0.1-10.0mol%) induced increasing structural perturbation to dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers and to a considerable lower extent to those of dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine; b) differential scanning calorimetry data showed that the compounds were able to alter the cooperativity of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine and dimyristoylphosphatidylserine phase transitions in a concentration-dependent manner; c) in the presence of steroids, the fluorescence of Merocyanine 540 incorporated to the membranes decreased suggesting a fluidization of the lipid system; d) scanning electron microscopy observations showed that all steroids altered the normal shape of human erythrocytes inducing mainly echinocytosis, characterized by the formation of blebs in their surfaces, an indication that their molecules are located into the outer monolayer of the erythrocyte membrane.

Abstract
Interactions between charged and neutral self-assembled phospholipid membranes are well understood and take into account temperature dependence. Yet, the manner in which the structure of the membrane is affected by temperature was hardly studied. Here we study the effect of temperature on the thickness, area per lipid, and volume per lipid of charged membranes. Two types of membranes were studied: membranes composed of charged lipids and dipolar (neutral) membranes that adsorbed divalent cations and became charged. Small-angle X-ray scattering data demonstrate that the thickness of charged membranes decreases with temperature. Wide-angle X-ray scattering data show that the area per headgroup increases with temperature. Intrinsically charged membranes linearly thin with temperature, whereas neutral membranes that adsorb divalent ions and become charged show an exponential decrease of their thickness. The data indicate that, on average, the tails shorten as the temperature rises. We attribute this behavior to higher lipid tail entropy and to the weaker electrostatic screening of the charged headgroups, by their counterions, at elevated temperatures. The latter effect leads to stronger electrostatic repulsion between the charged headgroups that increases the area per headgroup and decreases the bilayer thickness.

Abstract
Arbidol, a broad and potent antiviral molecule, incorporates rapidly into membranes. To gain further insight into the mode of action of Arbidol, since the exact antiviral mechanism of Arbidol is unknown, I examined its interaction and effects on model membranes composed of saturated phospholipids by performing a detailed biophysical study using calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. Arbidol interacts and modifies the physicochemical properties of the phospholipids in the membrane, having a significant effect on negatively charged phospholipids but a minor one on zwitterionic phospholipids. The data suggest that Arbidol is located at the interface of the membrane, participates in hydrogen bonding either with water or the phospholipid or both, and decreases the hydrogen bonding network of the phospholipids giving place to a phospholipid phase similar to the dehydrated solid one. The significant effects produced on negatively charged phospholipids suggest that the active molecule of Arbidol in the membrane is the protonated one, that is, the positively charged molecule. These data suggest that the potent antiviral effects of Arbidol are mediated at least in part through its membranotropic effects, likely giving place to the formation of perturbed membrane structures. These modifications interfere with proper membrane functioning and should be responsible for its broad antiviral activity.
