摘要

Liquid-ordered phase(Zo phase)of lipid membranes has properties that are intermediate between those of liquid-crystalline phase and those of gel phase and has attracted much attention in both biological and biophysical aspects.Rafts in the Zo phase in biomembranes play important roles in cell function of mammalian cells such as signal transduction.In this report,we have prepared giant unilamellar vesicles(GUVs)of lipid membranes in the Zo phase and investigated their physical properties using phase-contrast microscopy and fluorescence microscopy.GUVs of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine(DPPC)/cholesterol membranes and also GUVs of sphingomyelin(SM)/cholesterol membranes in the Zo phase in water were formed at 20-37 deg C successfully,when these membranes contained >30 mol % cholesterol.The diameters of GUVs of DPPC/cholesterol and SM/cholesterol membranes did not change from 50 to 28 deg C,supporting that the membranes of these GUVs were in the Zo phase.To elucidate the interaction of a substance with a long hydrocarbon chain with the Zo phase membrane,we investigated the interaction of low concentrations(less than critical micelle concentration)of lysophosphatidylcholine(lyso-PC)with DPPC/cholesterol GUVs and SM/cholesterol GUVs in the Zo phase.We found that lyso-PC induced several shape changes and vesicle fission of these GUVs above their threshold concentrations in water.The analysis of these shape changes indicates that lyso-PC can be partitioned into the external monolayer in the Zo phase of the GUV from the aqueous solution.Threshold concentrations of lyso-PC in water to induce the shape changes and vesicle fission increased greatly with a decrease in chain length of lyso-PC.Thermodynamic analysis of this result indicates that shape changes and vesicle fission occur at threshold concentrations of lyso-PC in the membrane.These new findings on GUVs of the Zo phase membranes indicate that substances with a long hydrocarbon chain such as lyso-PC can enter into the Zo phase membrane and also the raft in the cell membrane.We have also proposed a mechanism for the lyso-PC-induced vesicle fission of GUVs.
