Abstract
Phototherapies are promising for noninvasive treatment of aggressive tumors, especially when combining heat induction and oxidative processes. Herein, we show enhanced phototoxicity of gold shell-isolated nanorods conjugated with toluidine blue-O (AuSHINRs@TBO) against human colorectal tumor cells (Caco-2) with synergic effects of photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapies (PDT). Mitochondrial metabolic activity tests (MTT) performed on Caco-2 cell cultures indicated a photothermal effect from AuSHINRs owing to enhanced light absorption from the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The phototoxicity against Caco-2 cells was further increased with AuSHINRs@TBO where oxidative processes, such as hydroperoxidation, were also present, leading to a cell viability reduction from 85.5 to 39.0%. The molecular-level mechanisms responsible for these effects were investigated on bioinspired tumor membranes using Langmuir monolayers of Caco-2 lipid extract. Polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) revealed that the AuSHINRs@TBO incorporation is due to attractive electrostatic interactions with negatively charged groups of the Caco-2 lipid extract, resulting in the expansion of surface pressure isotherms. Upon irradiation, Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers containing AuSHINRs@TBO (1:1 v/v) exhibited ca. 1.0% increase in surface area. This is attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their interaction with Caco-2 lipid extract monolayers, leading to hydroperoxide formation. The oxidative effects are facilitated by AuSHINRs@TBO penetration into the polar groups of the extract, allowing oxidative reactions with carbon chain unsaturations. These mechanisms are consistent with findings from confocal fluorescence microscopy, where the Caco-2 plasma membrane was the primary site of the cell death induction process.

Amphipathic peptide-phospholipid nanofibers: Kinetics of fiber formation and molecular transfer between assemblies. Biophys Chem 2023; 296:106985.

Abstract
Understanding the kinetics of nano-assembly formation is important to elucidate the biological processes involved and develop novel nanomaterials with biological functions. In the present study, we report the kinetic mechanisms of nanofiber formation from a mixture of phospholipids and the amphipathic peptide 18A[A11C], carrying cysteine substitution of the apolipoprotein A-I-derived peptide 18A at residue 11. 18A[A11C] with acetylated N-terminus and amidated C-terminus can associate with phosphatidylcholine to form fibrous aggregates at neutral pH and lipid-to-peptide molar ratio of ∼1, although the reaction pathways of self-assembly remain unclear. Here, the peptide was added to giant 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles to monitor nanofiber formation under fluorescence microscopy. The peptide initially solubilized the lipid vesicles into particles smaller than the resolution of optical microscope, and fibrous aggregates appeared subsequently. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analyses revealed that the vesicle-solubilized particles were spherical or circular, measuring ∼10-20 nm in diameter. The rate of nanofiber formation of 18A with 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine from the particles was proportional to the square of lipid-peptide concentration in the system, suggesting that the association of particles, accompanied by conformational changes, was the rate-limiting step. Moreover, molecules in the nanofibers could be transferred between aggregates faster than those in the lipid vesicles. These findings provide useful information for the development and control of nano-assembling structures using peptides and phospholipids.

Abstract
The physical properties of lipid membranes depend on their lipid composition. Photosensitized singlet oxygen (1O2) provides a handle to spatiotemporally control the generation of lipid hydroperoxides via the ene reaction, enabling fundamental studies on membrane dynamics in response to chemical composition changes. Critical to relating the physical properties of the lipid membrane to hydroperoxide formation is the availability of a sensitive reporter to quantify the arrival of 1O2. Here, we show that a fluorogenic α-tocopherol analogue, H4BPMHC, undergoes a >360-fold emission intensity enhancement in liposomes following a reaction with 1O2. Rapid quenching of 1O2 by the probe (kq = 4.9 × 108 M-1 s-1) ensures zero-order kinetics of probe consumption. The remarkable intensity enhancement of H4BPMHC upon 1O2 trapping, its linear temporal behavior, and its protective role in outcompeting membrane damage provide a sensitive and reliable method to quantify the 1O2 flux on lipid membranes. Armed with this probe, fluorescence microscopy studies were devised to enable (i) monitoring the flux of photosensitized 1O2 into giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), (ii) establishing the onset of the ene reaction with the double bonds of monounsaturated lipids, and (iii) visualizing the ensuing collective membrane expansion dynamics associated with molecular changes in the lipid structure upon hydroperoxide formation. A correlation was observed between the time for antioxidant H4BPMHC consumption by 1O2 and the onset of membrane fluctuations and surface expansion. Together, our imaging studies with H4BPMHC in GUVs provide a methodology to explore the intimate relationship between photosensitizer activity, chemical insult, membrane morphology, and its collective dynamics.

Abstract
The purpose of this article was to determine the internal and external loads experienced by volleyball players in a weekly cycle during the competitive season. Using accelerometers, as well as subjective rating perceived exertion (RPE) and total quality recovery scale (TQR) questionnaires, eleven female athletes were monitored during five days of training sessions over the course of the 2021 season. The data were evaluated for trends during the start period in preparation for the championship tournament. Analysis of the accelerometer data revealed a relationship between RPE and session rating perceived exertion (s-RPE), as well as the number of total accelerations. It was reported that on the training days of the same well-being level, the jump number values were significantly different. The results suggest that monitoring athletes for the number of accelerations can be used to understand the needs of volleyball players and to improve the design of training and recovery days to optimize athletes' well-being.

Abstract
Lipid peroxides result from a reaction between cis-unsaturated lipid chains and singlet oxygen molecules leading to the addition of a peroxide OOH side group next to the acyl-chain double bond. It is now established that HP-POPC (hydroperoxidized POPC) molecules form stable, thin and laterally expanded bilayers. The difference in structural organisation arises from the hydrophilic character of the OOH side group that has strong affinity with the water interface region, leading to significant reorganisation of the bilayer. In this Article we describe a coarse-grained (CG) model of POPC and DOPC lipid peroxides within the framework of the Martini CG force-field (v2.2), derived from experimental data. We then discuss extensively the predicted structure and the influence of hydration and show how shifting the position of the unsaturated bonds along the chain changes the structure. Finally, we provide electron and neutron scattering length density profiles of the simulated bilayers.

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
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 oxidation is ubiquitous in cell life under oxygen and essential for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of carcinomas. However, the mechanisms underlying lipid oxidation in rather complex systems such as plasma membranes remain elusive. Herein, Langmuir monolayers were assembled with the lipid extract of glandular breast cancer (MCF7) cells and used to probe the molecular interactions allowing adsorption of the photosensitizer (PS) erythrosine B and subsequent photooxidation outcomes. Surface pressure (π) versus area (cm2/mL) isotherms of MCF7 lipid extract shifted to larger areas upon erythrosine incorporation, driven by secondary interactions that affected the orientation of the carbonyl groups and lipid chain organization. Light-irradiation increased the surface area of the MCF7 lipid extract monolayer containing erythrosine owing to the lipid hydroperoxidation, which may further undergo decomposition, resulting in the chain cleavage of phospholipids and membrane permeabilization. Incorporation of erythrosine by MCF7 cells induced slight toxic effects on in vitro assays, differently of the severe phototoxicity caused by light-irradiation, which significantly decreased cell viability by more than 75% at 2.5 × 10-6 mol/L of erythrosine incubated for 3 and 24 h, reaching nearly 90% at 48 h of incubation. The origin of the phototoxic effects is in the rupture of the plasma membrane shown by the frontal (FSC) and side (SSC) light scattering of flow cytometry. Consistent with hydroperoxide decomposition, membrane permeabilization was also confirmed by cleaved lipids detected in mass spectrometry and subsidizes the necrotic pathway of cell death.

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
Single giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) rupture spontaneously from their salt-laden suspension onto solid surfaces. At hydrophobic surfaces, the GUVs rupture via a recurrent, bouncing ball rhythm. During each contact, the GUVs, rendered tense by the substrate interactions, porate, and spread a molecularly transformed motif of a monomolecular layer on the hydrophobic surface from the point of contact in a symmetric manner. The competition from pore closure, however, limits the spreading and produces a daughter vesicle, which re-engages with the substrate. At solid hydrophilic surfaces, by contrast, GUVs rupture via a distinctly different recurrent burst-heal dynamics; during burst, single pores nucleate at the contact boundary of the adhering vesicles, facilitating asymmetric spreading and producing a "heart"-shaped membrane patch. During the healing phase, the competing pore closure produces a daughter vesicle. In both cases, the pattern of burst-reseal events repeats multiple times, splashing and spreading the vesicular fragments as bilayer patches at the solid surface in a pulsatory manner. These remarkable recurrent dynamics arise, not because of the elastic properties of the solid surface, but because the competition between membrane spreading and pore healing, prompted by the surface-energy-dependent adhesion, determine the course of the topological transition.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is promising for bacterial inactivation since cellular internalization of photosensitizers (PS) is not crucial for the treatment effectiveness. Photoinduced damage in the lipid envelope may already induce microbial inactivation, which requires PS capable of easily penetrating into the membrane. Herein, we report on the insertion of the PS eosin decyl ester (EosDec) into Langmuir films of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (DOPG), and cardiolipin (CLP) used as mimetic systems of bacterial membranes. Surface pressure isotherms and polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) indicated that the hydrophobic nature of EosDec favored deeper penetration in all the phospholipid monolayers. The incorporation of EosDec led to monolayer expansion, especially in the anionic DOPG and CLP owing to repulsive electrostatic interactions, and induced disorder in the lipid chains. Light irradiation of DOPE, DOPG, and CLP monolayers containing EosDec increased the rate of material loss to the subphase, which is attributed to cleavage of lipid chains triggered by contact-dependent reactions between excited states of EosDec and lipid unsaturations. The latter is key for membrane permeabilization and efficiency in microbial inactivation.

Abstract
The alarming increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics has demanded new strategies for microbial inactivation, which include photodynamic therapy whose activity relies on the photoreaction damage to the microorganism membrane. Herein, the binding mechanisms of the photosensitizer toluidine blue-O (TBO) on simplified models of bacterial membrane with Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol) (DOPG) were correlated to the effects of the photoinduced lipid oxidation. Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) were also used as a reference of mammalian membranes. The surface pressure isotherms combined with polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy revealed that TBO expands DOPC, DOPE, and DOPG monolayers owing to electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged groups in the phospholipids, with a stronger adsorption on DOPG, which has a net surface charge. Light irradiation made the TBO-containing DOPC and DOPE monolayers less unstable as a result of the singlet oxygen (1O2) reaction with the chain unsaturation and hydroperoxide formation. In contrast, the decreased stability of the irradiated TBO-containing DOPG monolayer suggests the cleavage of carbon chains. The anionic nature of DOPG allowed a deeper penetration of TBO into the chain region, favoring contact-dependent reactions between the excited triplet state of TBO and lipid unsaturations or/and hydroperoxide groups, which is the key for the cleavage reactions and further membrane permeabilization.

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
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
Incorporation into cell membranes is key for the action of photosensitizers in photomedicine treatments, with hydroperoxidation as the prominent pathway of lipid oxidation. In this paper, we use Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) as cell membrane models to investigate adsorption of the photosensitizer erythrosin and its effect on photoinduced lipid oxidation. From surface pressure isotherms and polarization-modulated infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) data, erythrosin was found to adsorb mainly via electrostatic interaction with the choline in the head groups of both DOPC and DPPC. It caused larger monolayer expansion in DOPC, with possible penetration into the hydrophobic unsaturated chains, while penetration into the DPPC saturated chains was insignificant. Easier penetration is due to the less packed DOPC monolayer, in comparison to the more compact DPPC according to the monolayer compressibility data. Most importantly, light irradiation at 530 nm made the erythrosin-containing DOPC monolayer become less unstable, with a relative surface area increase of ca. 19%, in agreement with previous findings for bioadhesive giant vesicles. The relative area increase is consistent with hydroperoxidation, supporting the erythrosin penetration into the lipid chains, which favors singlet oxygen generation close to double bonds, an important requirement for photodynamic efficiency.

Abstract
An original coarse-grained model for peroxidised phospholipids is presented, based on the MARTINI lipid force field. This model results from a combination of thermodynamic modelling and structural information on the area per lipid, which have been made available recently. The resulting coarse-grained lipid molecules form stable bilayers, and a set of elastic coefficients (compressibility and bending moduli) is obtained. We compare the compressibility coefficient to the experimental values [Weber et al., Soft Matter, 2014, 10, 4241]. Predictions for the mechanical properties, membrane thickness and lateral distribution of hydroperoxide groups in the phospholipid bilayer are presented.
