Analysis of the induction of the myelin basic protein binding to the plasma membrane phospholipid monolayer

Myelin basic protein(MBP) is an essential structure involved in the generation of central nervous system(CNS)myelin.Myelin shape has been described as liquid crystal structure of biological membrane.The interactions of MBP with monolayers of different lipid compositions are responsible for the multi-lamellar structure and stability of myelin.In this paper,we have designed MBP-incorporated model lipid monolayers and studied the phase behavior of MBP adsorbed on the plasma membrane at the air/water interface by thermodynamic method and atomic force microscopy(AFM).By analyzing the pressure–area(π–A) and pressure–time(π–T) isotherms,univariate linear regression equation was obtained.In addition,the elastic modulus,surface pressure increase,maximal insertion pressure,and synergy factor of monolayers were detected.These parameters can be used to modulate the monolayers binding of protein,and the results show that MBP has the strongest affinity for 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine(DPPS) monolayer,followed by DPPC/DPPS mixed and1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-choline(DPPC) monolayers via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.AFM images of DPPS and DPPC/DPPS mixed monolayers in the presence of MBP(5 n M) show a phase separation texture at the surface pressure of 20 m N/m and the incorporation of MBP put into the DPPC monolayers has exerted a significant effect on the domain structure.MBP is not an integral membrane protein but,due to its positive charge,interacts with the lipid head groups and stabilizes the membranes.The interaction between MBP and phospholipid membrane to determine the nervous system of the disease has a good biophysical significance and medical value.     

二次谐波光谱和布鲁斯特角显微镜研究二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱和维生素B2的相互作用

二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱（DPPC）分子在气液界面上形成的Langmuir膜是一种重要的生物膜模拟体系,其手性结构及其与外来物质的相互作用一直是相关学科研究的前沿问题。维生素B₂（VB₂）是人体中一种重要的营养物质,它在代谢障碍引起的脂质沉积性类疾病中有大量的实例应用,经常在一些特殊的临床症状中有出乎意料的治疗奇效。目前,VB₂如何参与到膜上生物事件的过程和细胞乃至生命的作用过程中的研究报道较少,特别是VB₂分子与磷脂分子靶标的立体相互作用,其可能发生的手性分子识别现象会在许多生物事件中起着关键作用。综合二次谐波-线二色光谱（SHG-LD）、Langmuir膜天平和布鲁斯特角显微镜(BAM)技术初步研究了VB₂和DPPC分子在气液界面上的相互作用,分别从气液界面上介观水平和宏观水平上互补表征脂质分子在气液界面上的分子骨架自组装的结构。压缩等温线发现纯水界面L-DPPC和D-DPPC液态扩展相/液态凝聚相(LE/LC)共存阶段的膜压几乎不变,race-DPPC的共存相膜压区域稍微缩短,VB₂水溶液界面上race-DPPC的LE/LC共存相消失。此外,弹性模量研究表明VB₂分子可以提高L-DPPC单分子层膜的弹性模量,但降低D-DPPC和race-DPPC单层膜的弹性模量。结合SHG-LD研究发现,在膜压13 mN·m-1下,L-DPPC在纯水和VB₂水溶液界面上表面手性过量值（DCE）保持不变。与纯水界面相比较,D-DPPC在VB₂水溶液上DCE值出现反转,而race-DPPC的DCE值则不随亚相改变而变化。相同膜压下,BAM观察到单一手性相互作用使得L-DPPC和D-DPPC在纯水界面上各自组装成不同枝臂弯曲方向的手性三叶草微畴(microdomain)。VB₂诱导D-DPPC微畴,使其直径增大1～2倍。同时,VB₂也诱导了race-DPPC单层膜上近似圆形状的微畴伸展,并长出了三条有曲率的枝臂。对此可以解释为VB₂降低了非单一手性相互作用的能量,使得race-DPPC出现手性相分离。与此同时,VB₂也诱导了race-DPPC单层膜微畴的手性结构发生变化。该研究有助于理解VB₂调节磷脂膜横向组织结构的分子机理,在细胞膜界面发生的过程中,脂层单层的二维特性和生物分子之间的相互作用可能决定了生物分子的亲和力。     

Studies on behaviors of dipalmitoylposphatidylcholine and bilirubin in mixed monolayer at the air/water interface

Mixed monolayers of dipalmitoylposphatidylcholine (DPPC) and bilirubin (BR) were prepared on different subphases. The properties of DPPC/BR monolayer, such as collapse pressure (π_coll), limiting area per molecule (A_lim), surface compressibility modulus, free energy (ΔG_mix) and excess free energy (ΔG_ex), were investigated based on the analysis of the surface pressure-area isotherms on pure water. The results showed that DPPC and BR were miscible and formed non-ideal mixed monolayers at the air/water interface. With the molar fraction of BR (X_BR) increasing, the LE-LC coexistence region of DPPC monolayer was eliminated gradually. The DPPC/BR complex (M_D-B) of 1:2 stoichiometry formed as a result of the strong hydrogen bonds between the polar groups of DPPC and BR. The studies of effects of pH values and calcium ions in subphase on the DPPC/BR monolayers showed that the mixed monolayer became expanded on alkali aqueous solution and on 1 mmol/L CaCl₂ aqueous solution. The orientation of DPPC and BR at air/water interface was also discussed.     

Role of non-lamellar-forming lipid in promotion of liposomal fusion

Membrane fusion is an important process in a wide range of cellular and sub-cellular activities. It is evident that during the intermediate stages of fusion some transitory non-bilayer configurations must appear within the lipid moiety. Using fluorescence techniques, we have studied here the process of aggregation and fusion of liposomes made of lipids, namely 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC). When mixed together, the complete fusion between these two liposomes took around 44 h as both DPPC and DMPC favour lamellar configuration. When the mixture was incubated at 42°C the fusion process was completed after 23 h. But, when 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) was added in the liposomal matrix the time for fusion was reduced to 21 h for mixture without incubation and 17 h when the mixture was incubated. This indicates that DPPE having a tendency to assume non-lamellar conformation, promoted destabilisation of the lamellar conformation within the liposome which facilitated the fusion between two apposing bilayers.     

Mixed 2D molecular systems: Mechanic, thermodynamic and dielectric properties

Study of Langmuir monolayers consisting of stearic acid (SA) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) molecules was done by surface pressure-area isotherms (π-A), the Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measurement, X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the selected mechanic, thermodynamic and dielectric properties based on orientational structure of monolayers. On the base of π-A isotherms analysis we explain the creation of stable structures and found optimal monolayer composition. The dielectric properties represented by MDC generated monolayers were analyzed in terms of excess dipole moment, proposing the effect of dipole-dipole interaction. XRR and AFM results illustrate deposited film structure and molecular ordering.     

Investigating lipid interactions and the process of raft formation in cellular membranes using ToF-SIMS

There is an increased interest in how lipids interact with each other, especially in the lateral separation of lipids into coexisting liquid phases as this is believed to be an attribute of raft formation in cell membranes. ToF-SIMS has shown itself to be an excellent tool for investigating cellular and model membrane systems and will be perhaps the most powerful one for investigating raft formation. Results from our laboratory show the capability of ToF-SIMS at identifying unequivocally the content of coexisting liquid lipid phases. Using supported lipid monolayers we find that the inclusion of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) to a homogeneous dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol phase results in the formation of cholesterol-rich domains [A.G. Sostarecz, C.M. McQuaw, A.G. Ewing, N. Winograd, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126 (2004) 13882]. Also, for DPPE/cholesterol systems a single homogeneous DPPE/cholesterol phase is formed at ∼50 mol% cholesterol, whereas DPPC/cholesterol systems form a single phase at 30 mol% cholesterol [C.M. McQuaw, A. Sostarecz, L. Zheng, A.G. Ewing, N. Winograd, Langmuir 21 (2005) 807]. Currently we are exploring the incorporation of sphingomyelin into phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures in an effort to gain a better understanding of its role in raft formation.     

Monomolecular films of cholesterol oxidase and S-Layer proteins

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol to cholest-5-en-3-one and subsequently the isomerization to cholest-4-en-3-one. ChOx has been very commonly studied as the detection element in cholesterol biosensors. In the biosensor development field, a relatively new approach is the use of crystalline bacterial cell surface layers, known as S-Layer proteins. These proteins exhibit the ability of self-assembling at surfaces, opening a vast spectrum of applications, both in basic and applied researches. In our study, monomolecular films of ChOx and mixed films of ChOx/S-Layer proteins and DPPC/S-Layer proteins were produced using the Langmuir technique. Characterization of the films was performed by means of surface pressure-molecular area (π-A) isotherms. Stable monolayers were obtained, which means that they can be transferred to solid substrates by Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Mixed monolayers showed an ideal like behavior.

Effect of surface roughness and release layer on anti-adhesion performance of the imprint template

UV imprint lithography has been initiated as an enabling, cost-effective technique to achieve 100 nm resolution patterning in recent years. However, the adhesion between resist and imprint template is one of the critical problems for the industrial application of imprint lithography. In this paper, two kinds of measures, including increase of surface roughness of template and application of a fluorinated release agent as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to the template surface, were taken to overcome the adhesion between resist and template. The test results of contact angle showed that the appropriate increase of surface roughness could improve hydrophilicity of template surface greatly, and improved the hydrophobicity of template surface when it was combined with self-assembled monolayers. The XPS, DRIR spectra indicated that the fluorinated release layers were successfully prepared on the surface of template using the process in the paper. The surface free energy of the template was 16.6 mN/m, and less than that of PTFE (18 mN/m). The imprint experiment results also showed that the anti-adhesion performance of treated template was improved greatly during detaching procedure, and the demolding force decreased by 56.64% in comparison with that of untreated template.

Comparison of phase behavior between water soluble and insoluble surfactants at the air-water interface

The surface phase behavior of 2-hydroxyethyl myristate (2-HEM) has been studied in Langmuir monolayers by measuring surface pressure (π)-area (A) isotherms with a film balance and observing monolayer morphology with a Brewster angle microscope (BAM). These results are compared with the phase behavior of 2-hydroxyethyl laurate (2-HEL) in Gibbs monolayers studied by measuring π-time (t) curves and observing monolayer morphology. The π-A isotherms of 2-HEM show a first-order phase transition from a liquid expanded (LE) phase to a liquid condensed (LC) phase in the temperature range between 5 and 35 °C whereas the π-t curves of 2-HEL represent a similar phase transition in the temperature range between 2 and 25 °C. The critical surface pressure, π_c necessary for the phase transitions increases with increasing temperature in both the cases. The LC domains formed in 2-HEM show circular shapes, which are independent of the temperature. In contrast, the circular domains having stripe texture formed at lower temperatures show a shape transition to fingering domains with uniform brightness at 15 °C. The amphiphile, 2-HEM having 13-carbon chain has higher line tension than 2-HEL that has 11-carbon chain as tail. Thus, for 2-HEM, this high line tension always dominates over other factors giving rise to circular domains at the all studied temperatures.     

吴茱萸碱与脂质体模拟生物膜的相互作用:FTIR和DSC研究

药物与生物膜相互作用的研究对于了解药物药效和改善其生物性能具有重要的意义。但生物膜的组成复杂,直接研究药物活性成分与生物膜的相互作用比较困难。以脂质体作为生物膜模型,研究了吴茱萸碱与脂质体的相互作用,分析了吴茱萸碱分子在脂质体中的包封位置,探讨了吴茱萸碱抗炎作用可能的作用机制。以二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱（DPPC）为膜材,应用薄膜分散法制备含有不同摩尔百分比（x）的吴茱萸碱脂质体,应用傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）和差示扫描量热（DSC）技术分析随着脂质体中药物摩尔百分比的增大,DPPC分子各红外特征吸收峰频率、峰形及量热参数的变化情况,从而探讨药物在脂质体中的包封位置及吴茱萸碱分子对脂质体膜流动性的影响。实验数据表明,在0＜x＜10 mol%的浓度范围内,DPPC头部区域磷酸基团的不对称伸缩振动频率没有明显变化,脂质体相变温度和相变焓均随药物摩尔百分比的增大而减小。在0＜x＜5 mol%浓度范围内,DPPC界面区域的水化的羰基峰的吸收波数由1 726.0 cm-1增加到1 731.8 cm-1,当x=10 mol%时,该波数又减小到1 728.0 cm-1。在10 mol%≤x＜20 mol%浓度范围内,磷酸基团的不对称伸缩振动的波数由1 242.0 cm-1减小为1 236.3 cm-1,水化的羰基峰的吸收频率没有明显变化,脂质体相变温度和相变焓均随药物摩尔百分比的增大而增大。纯DPPC脂质体中亚甲基的对称伸缩振动波数为2 848.4 cm-1,载药后该波数都增大到2 850.3 cm-1。这些结果表明吴茱萸碱在脂质体中的包封位置具有浓度依赖性：在0＜x＜10 mol%浓度范围内,吴茱萸碱主要作用于DPPC分子的疏水尾链区域,少部分药物分子作用于DPPC分子的界面区域。在10 mol%≤x＜20 mol%浓度范围内,吴茱萸碱分子则主要作用于DPPC分子的头部区域,少部分药物分子作用于DPPC分子的疏水尾链区。所有载药脂质体的相变温度均低于纯DPPC脂质体的相变温度,即不同浓度的吴茱萸碱均可以使脂质体的膜流动性增加,并且,当药物摩尔百分比为10 mol%时,吴茱萸碱对生物膜流动性的增加效应最为明显。研究工作对于进一步揭示吴茱萸碱与生物膜的相互作用机制具有重要意义。     

Temperature effect on thin lipid film elasticity and phase separation: insights from Langmuir monolayer and fluorescence microscopy techniques

Langmuir monolayer pressure isotherms and compressibility modulus measurements of phospholipid mixtures in several Langmuir monolayer systems at the air/water interface were investigated in this study. The ultimate aim was to carry out a comparison of the elasticity modulus for monolayers with different mixtures of l,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), l,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and chicken egg yolk sphingomyelin (eSM), in the presence/absence of cholesterol (Chol). In particular, we were able to propose that the leading force beyond the phase separation into liquid expanded (LE-) and liquid condensed (LC-) phases emerges from the increasing barrier to incorporate DOPC molecules into a highly ordered LC-phase. In addition, our findings suggest that DOPC lipid molecules have a priority to incorporate in a disordered LE-phase, while DPPC and eSM prefer the ordered one. Also, Chol seems to split almost equally into both phases, indicating that Chol has no priority for either phase and there are no particular interactions between Chol and saturated lipid molecules.     

稀土夹心双酞菁铥的LB膜及其光谱特性

采用表面压-面积(π～A)等温曲线和紫外-可见吸收光谱研究了稀土夹心双酞菁铥(TmPc2)分子在Langmuir膜及其Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)膜中分子的排列状态和光谱特性。发现TmPc2分子在纯膜中以edge-on方式面对面的排列,在与花生酸(AA)的混合膜中TmPc2分子以face-on方式平躺排列。纯的TmPc2分子在亚相表面可以形成稳定的Langmuir膜,但不易转移到固体基片上,加入花生酸混合后不仅可以在亚相表面形成稳定的Langmuir膜,而且可以较好地转移到固体基片上,制成多层LB膜。TmPc2氯仿溶液和LB膜的紫外-可见吸收光谱具有明显的Soret吸收带和Q吸收带,Soret吸收带有2个吸收峰,分别对应184—187*和178—186的轨道电子跃迁。而Q吸收带有4个吸收峰,分别对应于186—189*,190*和185—187*,188*的轨道电子跃迁。由于分子间的相互作用,TmPc2分子在LB膜中紫外-可见吸收谱的各个吸收峰与氯仿溶液中的吸收峰相比较都发生了红移。层内分子的相互作用比层间分子的相互作用强。     

Investigation of the dynamics of the interaction of metal particles with a Langmuir single layer upon an increase in the surface pressure

X-ray studies of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) single layers on the surface of a liquid provide detailed information on the interaction of metal particles with a single layer upon an increase in the surface pressure up to the collapse. Two complementary X-ray methods are used: grazing incidence diffraction and the X-ray standing waves method. The experimental results obtained for a single layer formed on a colloidal solution of magnetite nanoparticles reveal that the increase in the surface pressure is accompanied by an increase in the concentration of nanoparticles near the surface. In a series of experiments where metal particles of submicron size are sputtered onto a DPPC single layer, a sharp decrease in the intensity of the fluorescence yield from metal atoms is observed while the single layer is compressed. These data suggest that metal particles deposited onto the surface of a single layer were extruded into the aqueous subphase.     

Changes in wetting and energetic properties of glass caused by deposition of different lipid layers

An investigation of wetting and energetic properties of different lipid layers deposited on the glass surface was carried out by contact angles measurements and determination of the apparent surface free energy. The topography of the lipid layers was also determined with the help of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Two synthetic phospholipids were chosen for these studies, having the same phosphatidylcholine headgroup bound to the apolar part composed either by two saturated chains (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospshocholine - DPPC) or two unsaturated chains (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine - DOPC) and one lipid (1,2,3-trihexadecanoyl-sn-glycerol - tripalmitoylglycerol - TPG). The lipid layers, from the 1st to the 5th statistical monolayer, were deposited on the glass surface from chloroform solutions by spreading.The apparent surface free energy of the deposited layers was determined by contact angles measurements (advancing and receding) for three probe liquids (diiodomethane, water, and formamide), and then two concepts of interfacial interactions were applied. In the contact angle hysteresis approach (CAH) the apparent total surface free energy was calculated from the advancing and receding contact angles and surface tension of probe liquids. In the Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid-base approach (LWAB) the total surface free energy was calculated from the determined components of the energy, which were obtained from the advancing contact angles of the probe liquids only. Comparison of the results obtained by two approaches provided more information about the changes in the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of the layers depending on the number of monolayers and kind of the lipid deposited on the glass surface.It was found that the most visible changes in the surface free energy took place for the first two statistical monolayers irrespectively of the kind of the lipid used. Additionally, in all cases periodic oscillations from layer-to-layer in the lipid surface free energy were observed. The changes in the surface free energy correlated with those in the topography and roughness of lipid layers.     

Monomolecular film and absorption behavior of polymers having carboxyl groups

π-A isotherms of monolayers of various copolymers containing carboxyl groups derived from acrylic acid (AA) were measured. The conformation of polymer adsorbed on the water surface and interaction forces between polymer and water surface (considered to be a model for the surface of inorganic powders) owing to AA groups is discussed based on the π-A isotherms.

Polyacrylic esters having a small amount of AA groups formed the expanded type of monolayer. AA groups cause an increase in the interaction force between the polymer and water surface. Polymethyl methacrylate having a small amount of AA groups formed condensed-type monolayers, while with a large amount of AA groups it showed two types of monolayer collapse. Though polystyrene could not spread as a mono-layer, poly (styrene-acrylic acid) [p(St-AA)] copolymer formed a monolayer when the AA content was over 4 mol %. The adsorbance of P(St-AA) on water, calculated from π-A isotherm, is the same as that obtained on α-Fe₂O₃ independently. This means the conformation of the polymer on the solid surface and the interaction force can be discussed by using the π-A isotherm.     

Surface modification of polyimide films, filter papers, and cotton clothes by HMDSO/toluene plasma at low pressure and its wettability

This study demonstrates the hydrophobic and super-hydrophobic coating of various substrates by 3:1 HMDSO/toluene glow plasma discharge at low pressure and investigates the hydrophobic and super-hydrophobic behavior of the polyimide films, filter papers, and cotton clothes. The effect of 3:1 HMDSO/toluene plasma treatments on the surface of polyimide films, filter papers, and cotton clothes were investigated in terms of total surface free energy by measuring the contact angles with probe liquids. In representation, the total surface free energies of the polyimide films before and after the 3:1 HMDSO/toluene plasma modification estimated from the Owens–Wendt equation decreased from 44.5 mN/m to 13.94 mN/m, showing the significant improvement of hydrophobicity of all sample surfaces treated by 3:1 HMDSO/toluene plasma.     

Patterning silver nanocubes in monolayers using phase separated lipids as templates

Strategies for assembling silver nanocubes (NCs) into distinct 2D patterns on Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films are demonstrated using two different lipid mixtures as vehicles: (1) raft mixtures containing 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), sphingomyelin (SPM), and cholesterol in different mole ratios (2:2:1 and 1:1:1) and (2) 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) at a 1:3 mol ratio. Atomic force microscopy was employed to unveil the mechanisms of such pattern formation in the LB film. The results demonstrate that aggregation of NCs into round-like pattern is governed by preferential localization of NCs within the liquid condensed (LC) domains of DOPC/SPM/Cholesterol mixture. Cholesterol was found to govern the size and shape of the rounded islands. On the other hand, incorporation of NCs within the liquid expanded (LE) phase of DPPC/DLPC mixture produced linear-branched chains, oriented normal to the Langmuir film transfer direction. The as engineered patterns of silver NCs exhibited characteristic plasmonic signatures. Our results reveal the potential in assembling plasmonic metal nanoparticles into diverse patterns on solid substrates by exploiting their preferential localization either in LC or LE phase of appropriate lipid mixture in Langmuir film.     

纳米摩擦中极性有机分子超薄膜的结构、对称性及能量机理

采用分子动力学方法, 模拟了由脂肪酸C_nH_2n+1COOH和C₁₇H₃₅COOH (n=12,13,14,15,16,17) 按1:1比例组成的7种混合单层Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)膜和由C₁₆H₃₃COOH 分子组成的单层膜的摩擦性质. 结果显示: 1) 随着混合单层膜内的不同分子链长差的减小, 其剪切压随之减小, 摩擦力主要来自单层膜间的库伦作用; 2) 混合膜内的两种不同分子的尾基排列对其摩擦性能影响较大, 当混合LB膜中所有分子尾基全同排列时剪切压较小. 当分子链长差为1 个C-C键长时, 分子尾基排列对膜的摩擦性质影响较大. 3) 同种分子尾基全同排列组成的单层膜, 当上下两单层膜的尾基呈镜面对称时, 其剪切压随着分子链长的增加而减小, 摩擦力主要来自膜间的库伦作用; 当上下两单层膜的尾基呈中心对称时, 膜间摩擦力主要来自膜间的范德华 (VDW) 作用. 关键词： 分子动力学模拟 纳米摩擦 薄膜 库伦能
