[Fluorescence anisotropy--a parameter for characterizing membrane fluidity].

Abstract

The lipophilic fluorescent probe diphenylhexatriene (DPH) has been shown previously to behave as a marker of plasma membrane in living cell systems, and it is therefore been widely used in membrane fluidity studies via fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The anisotropic coefficient, which is inversely related to the rotational motion of the probe in membrane phospholipids, was significantly higher at 37 degrees C than at 23 degrees C for 9 series of red blood cells ghosts obtained from three healthy subjects. We also have studied the importance of the nature of two different polaroid films which permits the observation of fluorescence polarization.

Molecular order and dynamics in bilayers consisting of highly polyunsaturated phospholipids.

The time-resolved fluorescence emission and decay of fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was used to characterize equilibrium and dynamic bilayer structural properties of symmetrically substituted phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with acyl chains containing no, one, four, or six double bonds and mixed-chain phosphatidylcholines with a saturated sn-1 chain and one, four, or six double bonds in the sn-2 chain. Both the Brownian rotational diffusion (BRD) model and the wobble-in-cone model were fit to all differential polarization data, and the descriptions of the data provided by the BRD model were found to be statistically superior. Global analysis of differential polarization data revealed two statistically equivalent solutions. The solution corresponding to a bimodal orientational distribution function, f(theta), was selected based on the effects of temperature on f(theta) and previous measurements on fixed, oriented bilayers. The overall equilibrium acyl chain order in these bilayers was analyzed by comparing the orientational probability distribution for DPH, f(theta) sin theta, with a random orientational distribution. Orientational order decreased and probe dynamics increased in mixed-chain species as the unsaturation of the sn-2 chain was increased. The degree of orientational order dropped dramatically in the dipolyunsaturated species compared with the mixed-chain phosphatidylcholines, which contained a polyunsaturated sn-2 chain. In terms of both orientational order and probe dynamics, the differences between the highly polyunsaturated species and the monounsaturated species were much greater than the differences between the monounsaturated species and a disaturated PC.

Removal of dissolved O2 by a fluid membrane of Fomblin Y (perfluoro polyether): fluorescence of diphenylhexatriene in Fomblin Y.

O2 can be gently removed from solutions by contact with a "bulk fluid membrane" of the viscous and nearly inert perfluoro polyether Fomblin Y. A volume of Fomblin dissolves approximately 20 times more O2 than an equal volume of water. Hence, when a volume of aqueous solution which was in equilibrium with air is enclosed with an equal volume of Fomblin which had been flushed with argon, oxygen would diffuse into the Fomblin, leaving in the water only 5% of the oxygen that was there. When the Fomblin is stirred, diffusion is rather rapid. The residue can be removed either by placing an oxygen scavenger on the other side of the Fomblin or by flowing a trickle of deoxygenated Fomblin through the sample. Diphenylhexatriene, a fluorescent probe of cell membranes, can be dissolved in Fomblin Y and has a fluorescence lifetimes extending from 12 ns in O2 saturation to 30 ns (!) in the absence of oxygen. Stern-Volmer plots calibrated against a Clark electrode validate this system for oximetry. A general purpose anaerobic cuvette for fluorescence spectroscopy, containing the sample solution, a Fomblin compartment and the oxygen scavenger Na-dithionite is demonstrated.

Acyl chain unsaturation and vesicle curvature alter outer leaflet packing and promote poly(ethylene glycol)-mediated membrane fusion.

The poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-induced fusion of sonicated, unilamellar vesicles (SUV) and large, unilamellar vesicles (LUV) composed of a variety of phosphatidylcholine species was compared using two assays for the mixing and leakage of internal vesicle contents. In the first [Lentz et al. (1992) Biochemistry, 31, 2643], disodium 8-aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (ANTS) fluorescence is quenched by co-encapsulated N,N'-p-xylylenebis(pyridinium bromide) (DPX). For this assay, interference by the fluorescence of impurities in PEG demands that the PEG content of the sample be reduced by dilution before measurements are taken. The second assay [Viguera et al. (1993) Biochemistry, 32, 3708] monitors the fluorescence of Tb3+ complexed with dipicolinic acid (DPA) directly in concentrated PEG solutions. The two assays gave identical fusion profiles for egg PC SUVs treated with increasing concentrations of PEG, demonstrating that fusion occurs in the dehydrated state in the presence of PEG and does not require dilution. Comparison of results obtained with lipid species of varying degrees of unsaturation incorporated into either SUV or LUV suggested that acyl chain unsaturation and high membrane curvature combine to favor fusion of pure phosphatidylcholine membranes. There was a clear correlation between the fluorescence lifetime or the order parameter of the membrane probe 1-(4-trimethylammonium)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) in different membranes and the concentration of PEG needed to induce fusion of these membranes. However, the ratios of TMA-DPH lifetimes measured in D2O versus H2O buffers were the same for different lipid species, indicating that probe penetration was not very different for different lipid species. The results suggest that the combined effect of high membrane curvature and extensive chain unsaturation is an enhanced rate of lipid motion in the upper region of the bilayer, reflective of decreased packing density in the outer leaflet of unsaturated SUV bilayers, probably allowing for enhanced water penetration leading to an enhanced probability of fusion.
