Treatment of human erythrocyte membranes with active forms of chlorine (hypochlorous acid and chloramine T) resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of the membrane Na(+), K(+)- and Mg(2+)-ATPases. Membrane protein thiol group oxidation was consistent with inactivation of enzymes and preceded oxidation of tryptophan residues and chloramine formation. Erythrocyte exposure to hypochlorous acid led to complex changes of cell membrane rigidity and cell morphological transformations: cell swelling, echinocyte formation, and haemolysis. The inhibition of ion pump ATPases of human erythrocyte membranes may be due to direct oxidation of essential residues of enzyme (thiol groups) and structural rearrangement of the membrane. 相似文献

The effect of radiation-induced peroxidation on the fluidity of the phospholipids of the erythrocyte membrane was studied using both erythrocyte ghosts and liposomes formed from the polar lipids of erythrocytes. In liposomes, the oxidation of the phospholipids increased with radiation dose, but there was no change in the fluidity of the lipids as measured by spin-label motion. Under the same conditions of irradiation, no oxidation of phospholipid was detected in erythrocyte ghosts, although changes occurred in the motion of spin labels intercalated with the membrane. These changes were attributed to radiation-induced alterations in the membrane proteins. It is concluded that alterations in motion of spin labels, observed with intact membranes after irradiation, are most likely the result of changes in the structure of membrane proteins rather than the lipids. 相似文献

Involvement of erythrocyte skeletal proteins in the modulation of membrane fluidity by phenothiazines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine sulfoxide, and trifluoperazine) and antimitotic drugs (colchicine and vinblastine) on the erythrocyte membrane have been investigated. Chlorpromazine and trifluoperazine induced a dose-dependent increase in the freedom of motion of stearic acid spin-labels bound to both intact erythrocytes and ghosts, but did not affect the freedom of motion of stearic acids bound to vesicles depleted of spectrin and actin or of ghosts resealed with anti-spectrin antibodies. Further, chlorpromazine and trifluoperazine were able to eliminate a protein 4.1 dependent membrane thermal transition detected by stearic acid spin-labels at 8.5 +/- 1.5 degrees C. Antimitotic drugs and chlorpromazine sulfoxide did not change either the freedom of motion of stearic acid spin-labels or the 8.5 degrees C membrane thermal transition. Results indicate the involvement of skeletal proteins as possible membrane target sites of biologically active phenothiazines and suggest that the control of stearic acid spin-label freedom of motion is mediated by the spectrin-actin network and the proteins that link the skeletal network to the membrane. 相似文献

Lipid composition of plasma lipoproteins and erythrocyte ghost membranes has been studied in 16 healthy normolipidaemic subjects and in 16 patients affected by primary lipoprotein lipase deficiency, resulting in severe chylomicronaemia and in cholesterol-depleted low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins. A significant decrease in membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was observed in lipoprotein lipase deficient patients compared to controls (3.27 +/- 0.33 vs. 3.95 +/- 0.50, mean +/- S.D.; P less than 0.0001). There was also an increase in the erythrocyte membrane phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin ratio in lipoprotein lipase deficient patients compared to controls (1.53 +/- 0.10 vs. 1.05 +/- 0.13; P less than 0.0001) due to a concurrent increase in phosphatidylcholine and decrease in sphingomyelin relative concentrations in these patients. Erythrocyte ghost membrane fluidity was determined by fluorescence anisotropy and found to be higher in membranes from lipoprotein lipase deficient patients. This increase in membrane fluidity can be attributed in part to changes in membrane cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations in response to abnormal plasma lipoprotein composition. 相似文献

Effect of ethanol intake on human erythrocyte membrane fluidity and lipid composition 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Erythrocyte membrane fluidity was evaluated in chronic alcoholic patients without any liver alteration, assuming different daily ethanol amounts, and in normal subjects and related to ghost fatty acid and total lipid composition obtained by high resolution gas chromatography. Erythrocyte membrane fluidity was significantly increased in a dose dependent manner in chronic alcoholic patients respect to normal subjects. This real fluidizing effect of ethanol "in vivo" was attributed mainly to a significant increase in the polyunsaturated fatty acids amount in patient ghosts in comparison with control subjects. On the other hand the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was not significantly affected by chronic ethanol assumption. 相似文献

Modulation of membrane function by cholesterol. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The molecular basis for the essential role of cholesterol in mammalian (and other cholesterol-requiring) cells has long been the object of intense interest. Cholesterol has been found to modulate the function of membrane proteins critical to cellular function. Current literature supports two mechanisms for this modulation. In one mechanism, the requirement of 'free volume' by integral membrane proteins for conformational changes as part of their functional cycle is antagonized by the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the membrane. In the other mechanism, the sterol modulates membrane protein function through direct sterol-protein interactions. This mechanism provides an explanation for the stimulation of the activity of important membrane proteins and for the essential requirement of a structurally-specific sterol for cell viability. In some cases, these latter membrane proteins exhibit little or no activity in the absence of the specific sterol required for growth of that cell type. The specific sterol required varies from one cell type to another and is unrelated to the ability of that sterol to affect the bulk properties of the membrane. 相似文献

We have synthesized spin-labeled analogues of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine with a short beta chain (C5) bearing a doxyl group at the fourth position. When added to an erythrocyte suspension, the labels immediately incorporate in the membrane. The orientation of the spin-labels was assessed in the bilayer (i) by addition in the medium of a nonpermeant reducer (ascorbate at 5 degrees C) or (ii) by following spontaneous reduction at 37 degrees C due to the endogenous reducing agents present in the cytosol. Both techniques prove that the spin-labels are originally incorporated in the outer leaflet and redistribute differently after incubation. After a 5-h incubation at 5 degrees C, the phosphatidylcholine derivative remained in the outer layer, while the phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine derivatives were found principally in the inner leaflet. During the incubation, a small fraction of the spin-labels is hydrolyzed, particularly the phosphatidylserine derivative, presumably by an endogenous phospholipase A2. Because the hydrolyzed spin-labeled fatty acids are rejected in the aqueous phase, the spectra of the intact membrane-bound phospholipids can be obtained by an adequate spectral subtraction. The ESR spectrum corresponding to a probe in the outer leaflet indicates a more restricted motion than that associated with probes in the inner leaflet. Additional experiments have been carried out to prove that the difference in viscosity, which is likely to be due to anisotropic cholesterol distribution, is not attributable to modification of the cell morphology.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is believed to function as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for natural product anti-cancer drugs in multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor cells and in certain normal tissues. P-gp has been localized to the apical plasma membrane of the bile canaliculus where it has been shown to transport [3H]daunomycin. In this study, we investigated whether alterations in membrane lipid fluidity of canalicular membrane vesicles (CMV) could modulate the P-gp-mediated accumulation of [3H]daunomycin and [3H]vinblastine. Accumulation of both cytotoxic agents was stimulated by ATP, exhibited temperature dependence and osmotic sensitivity, and followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Alterations in CMV lipid fluidity were induced by the known fluidizers, 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl 8-(cis-2-n-octylcyclopropyl)octanoate (A2C) and benzyl alcohol, and were assessed by fluorescence polarization techniques using the fluorescent probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH). Both A2C (2.5-5.0 microM) and benzyl alcohol (10-20 mM) produced a dose-dependent increase in CMV lipid fluidity. Moreover, both fluidizers, at the above doses, significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) the ATP-dependent accumulation of [3H]daunomycin. [3H]Vinblastine accumulation was also inhibited by A2C (p < 0.05). Lower doses of A2C (0.6 microM) and benzyl alcohol (1 mM) failed to influence either lipid fluidity or P-gp-mediated drug accumulation. Kinetic analysis revealed that A2C (5.0 microM) noncompetitively inhibited [3H]daunomycin accumulation and uncompetitively inhibited [3H]vinblastine accumulation with apparent Ki values of approximately 1.5 and approximately 1.2 microM, respectively. Verapamil competitively inhibited P-gp-mediated accumulation of [3H]daunomycin but failed to alter the fluidity of CMV. Taken together, the present results demonstrate that while increases in membrane fluidity of CMV are not necessarily required to inhibit P-gp-mediated drug accumulation, they can inhibit these processes, at least in CMV. Alterations in the physical state of CMV, therefore, appear to be at least one important modulator of P-gp function. 相似文献

The molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid (C/P) in human erythrocyte membrane is modified by incubating the cells with liposomes of various C/P ratios. The observed increase in cell surface area may be accounted for by the addition of cholesterol molecules. Fusion between liposomes and cells or attachment of liposomes to cells is not a significant factor in the alteration of C/P ratio. Onset temperatures for lipid phase separation in modified membranes are measured by electron diffraction. The onset temperature increases with decreasing C/P ration from 2 degrees C at C/P = 0.95 to 20 degrees C at C/P = 0.5. Redistribution of intramembrane particles is observed in membranes freeze-quenched from temperatures below the onset temperature. The heterogeneous distribution of intramembrane particles below the onset temperature suggests phase separation of lipid, with concomitant segregation of intramembrane protein into domains, even in the presence of an intact spectrin network. 相似文献

The polyphenolic structures of flavonoids and isoflavonoids confer them with the ability to scavenge free radicals and to chelate transition metals, a basis for their potent antioxidant abilities. Another possible contributory mechanism toward their antioxidant activities is their ability to stabilize membranes by decreasing membrane fluidity. In this study, the effects of representative flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and their metabolites on membrane fluidity and their preferential localization in the membrane were investigated using large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) as the membrane models. These results were compared with those of cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol. Changes in fluorescence anisotropy values for a series of n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acid probes (n = 6, 12, 16) upon addition of the test compounds were used to monitor alterations in membrane fluidity at graded depths in lipid bilayer. The results of the study suggest that the flavonoids and isoflavonoids, similar to cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol, partition into the hydrophobic core of the membrane and cause a dramatic decrease in lipid fluidity in this region of the membrane. Localization of flavonoids and isoflavonoids into the membrane interiors and their resulting restrictions on fluidity of membrane components could sterically hinder diffusion of free radicals and thereby decrease the kinetics of free radical reactions. 相似文献

Differences between patients with cirrhosis of liver, nephrotic syndrome, coronary heart disease and normal subjects in laser Raman spectra of erythrocyte membranes have been found. In regions of 1000-1140 cm-1 and 2840-3000 cm-1, the ratios I1130/I1080 and I2890/I2850 in patient membranes are higher than those in normal ones respectively. These results mean that erythrocyte membrane fluidity of these patients is reduced. This reduction may be attributed to the possibility that erythrocyte membrane of patients get more cholesterol from their plasma and resulted in the modification of the ratio of cholesterol/phospholipids in the membranes. 相似文献

Several chemical effectors were used to induce changes in spleen B cell membrane fluidity. Membrane fluidity was monitored by fluorescence polarization analysis of the hydrophobic probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and cell viability was checked not to be affected by the treatments. Membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) endocytosis by the living B cells with modified or unmodified membranes was quantitatively measured by flow cytometry, using a previously described method (Métézeau et al., 1982, 1984). The kinetics of endocytosis of membrane Ig was not affected by chemical effectors increasing membrane fluidity. On the contrary, increasing membrane microviscosity resulted in the slowing down and eventually the blocking of membrane Ig endocytosis. It is suggested that a step depending on membrane microviscosity is involved in the process of endocytosis; this step may become rate limiting when membranes are artificially rendered or naturally become (i.e. for pathological or particularly differentiated cells) more viscous. 相似文献

Effect of protein deficient diet on hepatic plasma membrane fluidity has been studied in rats using (i) steady state fluorescence polarization and anisotropy, (ii) phospholipid and cholesterol contents, (iii) phospholipid fatty acid composition, (iv) turnover of phosphatidyl choline (PC), and (v) activities of membrane-bound enzymes as parameters and rats fed casein (20%) diet as standard group. A significant increase in steady state fluorescence and anisotropy values was registered in the deficient group, indicating increased resistance and hence decrease in fluidity of the plasma membrane. Supplementation of the diet with lysine and threonine improved these values, thereby suggesting the significance of diet for membrane fluidity. Simultaneous significant alterations in other parameters, viz. (i) decrease in PC, PE and free cholesterol and increase in esterified cholesterol contents, (ii) decrease in unsaturation of fatty acids of PC, (iii) decrease in incorporation of NaH2 32PO4, [CH3-14C]choline and [CH3-14C]methionine into plasma membrane PC, and (iv) decrease in activities of plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase and phosphodiesterase along with increase of (Na(+)-K+)ATPase and adenyl cyclase, were observed in the deficient group which on supplementation with lysine and threonine showed improvement over alterations. 相似文献

The addition of phenylhydrazine (.05 – 0.5 mM) to hemoglobin-free human erythrocyte membranes results in the peroxidation of endogenous phospholipids as measured by the thiobarbaturic acid reaction. The incorporation of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3-5-hexatriene into these membranes revealed a decrease in bulk lipid fluidity. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate was decreased and red-shifted after phenylhydrazine treatment of the membranes. The results obtained are consistent with the view that changes in the physical state of plasma membranes subsequent to the peroxidation of membrane lipids may be a determinant of the mechanical properties of drug-treated as well as aging cells. 相似文献

Reconstitution of membrane proteins: catalysis by cholesterol of insertion of integral membrane proteins into preformed lipid bilayers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The presence of cholesterol in small unilamellar vesicles (ULV) of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) catalyzes fusion of the vesicles at temperatures below the upper limit for the gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition of the DMPC. The extent to which ULV grow depends on the concentration of cholesterol in the vesicles and on temperature. Maximum growth occurs at 21 degrees C. It decreases as the temperature is lowered below 21 degrees C. Growth does not occur at temperatures above the phase transition. In addition, the presence of cholesterol in ULV of DMPC catalyzes the insertion of integral membrane proteins into the vesicles. Thus, bacteriorhodopsin from Halobacterium halobrium, UDPglucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) from pig liver microsomes, and cytochrome oxidase from beef heart mitochondria formed stable lipid-protein complexes spontaneously when added to ULV containing cholesterol at temperatures under which these vesicles would fuse. Incorporation of these proteins into the ULV of DMPC did not occur in the absence of cholesterol or in the presence of cholesterol when the temperature of the system was above that for the phase transition. It appears that cholesterol lowers the energy barrier for fusion of ULV of DMPC and for insertion of integral membrane proteins into these bilayers. Studies with bacteriorhodopsin suggest that the energy barrier for insertion of proteins into ULV containing cholesterol is smaller than the energy barrier for fusion of the ULV with each other. 相似文献

The effects of several Ca2+-binding proteins (calmodulin, prothrombin, and synexin) on the kinetics of Ca2+-induced membrane fusion were examined. Membrane fusion was assayed by following the mixing of aqueous contents of phospholipid vesicles. Calmodulin inhibited slightly the fusion of phospholipid vesicles. Bovine prothrombin and its proteolytic fragment 1 had a strong inhibitory effect on fusion. Depending on the phospholipid composition, synexin could either facilitate or inhibit Ca2+-induced fusion of vesicles. The effects of synexin were Ca2+ specific. 10 microM Ca2+ was sufficient to induce fusion of vesicles composed of phosphatidic acid/phosphatidylethanolamine (1:3) in the presence of synexin and 1 mM Mg2+. We propose that synexin may be involved in intracellular membrane fusion events mediated by Ca2+, such as exocytosis, and discuss possible mechanisms facilitating fusion. 相似文献

A two-dimensional electrophoresis method has been developed which solubilizes erythrocyte membrane proteins, and which resolves the components of the band that migrates in detergent gels as if its molecular mass were 95,000 daltons. This method uses gel electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate in the first dimension and phenol, aqueous urea, and acetic acid in the second dimension. The 95,000 dalton band is known to contain several different membrane proteins, including those associated with anion transport, glucose transport, and (Na+,K+) transport. Two-dimensional electrophoresis resolved this band into one major spot and several minor ones. Pronase digestion of whole erythrocytes, followed by preparation of ghosts and two-dimensional electrophoresis, showed that only the major component of this band was digested by pronase. 相似文献

We have used a spin label analog of cholesterol bearing a nitroxide on the alkyl chain (26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol) to study cholesterol-protein interactions in the human erythrocyte membrane. As judged from the ESR spectrum, the spin label is readily incorporated into the membrane when added from a concentrated ethanolic solution to a cell or ghost suspension. With intact erythrocytes or white ghosts in isotonic buffer, the ESR spectrum is a superposition of a mobile component and a strongly immobilized component (outer hyperfine splitting 61–63 G). The latter corresponds to approx. 45% of the signal, a percentage which is barely affected by varying the temperature between 5 and 37°C. Removal of the cytoskeletal proteins spectrin and actin by low ionic strength treatment or of all extrinsic proteins by alkali treatment of ghosts reduces the immobilized fraction to approx. 25%. The effect of controlled proteolysis of intrinsic proteins was also tested. Pre-treatment of cells with chymotrypsin or pre-treatment of unsealed ghosts with trypsin has no effect on the ESR spectrum obtained with alkali-treated membranes. On the other hand, after chymotrypsin treatment of unsealed ghost, which reduces the band 3 protein to a 17.5 kDa membrane fragment, the strongly immobilized component is no longer observable. These data show that the cholesterol analog 26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol interacts strongly with one or several proteins of the erythrocyte membrane. That the intrinsic protein band 3 is involved is suggested by the disappearance of the immobilized fraction occurring upon chymotrypsin digestion of this protein. Our results are thus consistent with the proposal of a selective cholesterol-band 3 interaction in the erythrocyte membrane (Schubert, D. and Boss, K. (1982) FEBS Lett. 150, 4–8). Our data also suggest that this interaction is influenced by cytoskeletal proteins, an effect which can be explained considering the known linking of band 3 to the erythrocyte cytoskeleton via ankyrin. Experiments have also been carried out with 3-doxylandrostanol, a more commonly used cholesterol spin-label analog. With this spin label, at all temperatures investigated, we found it impossible to demonstrate unambiguously the existence of two separate spectral components. It is suggested that 26-nor-25-doxylcholestanol is a better reporter of cholesterol behavior in membranes. 相似文献
