Astaxanthin (ASX) is a natural xanthophyll carotenoid recognized for its strong antioxidant bioactive function, and it has been used in the prevention of heart disease, inflammation, neurological disorders, scavenger of environmental produced free radicals and as an anti-aging and anti-cancer biomolecule. ASX is a long lipophilic molecule with two terminal relatively polar rings connected by a long hydrophobic chain. This work describes the dynamics, orientation, location and interactions of ASX in a complex biomembrane. In water, ASX form high-order aggregates where the molecules are joined together by the hydrophobic chain. Depending on the number of ASX molecules, the aggregates can have different structures and the polar groups positioned superficially contacting the solvent. ASX molecules are not able to insert themselves into the membrane, forming high-order aggregates quickly. In the membrane, ASX molecules do not aggregate, remaining all time in the monomeric state. ASX is capable of reaching both membrane surfaces, one at a time. The ASX molecules form an approximate angle of 20º with respect to the membrane perpendicular and it is inserted between the phospholipid hydrocarbon chains, increasing slightly the membrane fluidity. ASX is readily miscible with membrane phospholipids and its location within the membrane is suited for its potent antioxidant activity. Furthermore, since ASX has two polar groups at both ends, the molecule can function in a wide range of depths. ASX is therefore perfectly suited for its antioxidant task in the membrane.
虾青素(Astaxanthin, ASX)是一种天然的类胡萝卜素类叶黄素,具有较强的抗氧化活性,被广泛应用于预防心脏病、炎症、神经系统疾病、清除环境产生的自由基以及抗衰老、抗癌等生物分子。ASX是一种长亲脂分子,具有两个末端相对极性的环,由一条长疏水链连接。这项工作描述了动态,取向,位置和相互作用的ASX在一个复杂的生物膜。在水中,ASX形成高阶聚集体,其中分子通过疏水链连接在一起。根据ASX分子的数量,聚集体可以有不同的结构和极性基团定位在与溶剂接触的表面。ASX分子不能将自己插入到膜中,迅速形成高阶聚集体。在膜中,ASX分子不聚集,一直保持单体状态。ASX能够到达膜的两个表面,一次一个。ASX分子与膜垂直形成约20º的夹角,并插入磷脂烃链之间,略微增加膜的流动性。ASX很容易与膜磷脂混溶,其在膜内的位置适合其强大的抗氧化活性。此外,由于ASX在两端有两个极性基团,该分子可以在很宽的深度范围内发挥作用。因此,ASX非常适合其在膜中的抗氧化任务。

We report on the lyotropic phase behaviour of fully-hydrated mixtures of α-tocopherol (α-toc) with the unsaturated phospholipid dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC), as studied by synchrotron small-angle x-ray diffraction. Increasing amounts of α-toc progressively swell the layer spacing of the fluid lamellar Lα phase of DOPC, and then induce a transition to an inverse hexagonal HII phase. Low-resolution electron density profiles show that this increase is largely due to an increased thickness of the bilayer, with little change in the water layer thickness. In the range 30 – 50 mol% α-toc, additional weak low-angle peaks were observed, whose characteristic ratios are in agreement with the presence of swollen inverse bicontinuous cubic phases of spacegroups Im3m / Pn3m. This research has applications both in the biological field and for industrial product development. We show that the effect of α-toc addition in DOPC membranes has some similarities to that of cholesterol by stabilizing inverse curvature structures, which play crucial roles in cell division, membrane trafficking and endocytosis. Concerning industrial applications, the stabilization of inverted hexagonal (HII) and swollen bicontinuous cubic phases offers the opportunity to develop new delivery systems.
用同步小角x射线衍射研究了α-生育酚(α-toc)与不饱和磷脂二油基磷脂酰胆碱(DOPC)的完全水合混合物的溶变相行为。α-toc含量的增加使DOPC流体层状Lα相的层间距逐渐膨胀,并诱导其向逆六方HII相转变。低分辨率电子密度谱显示,这种增加主要是由于双层厚度的增加,而水层厚度变化不大。在30 ~ 50mol% α-toc范围内,观察到额外的弱低角峰,其特征比与空间群Im3m / Pn3m存在膨胀的逆双连续立方相一致。这项研究在生物领域和工业产品开发中都有应用。我们发现α-toc在DOPC膜中的作用与胆固醇的作用有一些相似之处,即稳定了在细胞分裂、膜运输和内吞作用中起关键作用的逆曲率结构。在工业应用方面,倒六边形(HII)和膨胀双连续立方相的稳定为开发新的输送系统提供了机会。

Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FAs) are endogenous electrophilic signalling modulators, and some of them have been proposed as drug candidates. The main ones include nitro-oleic acid (NO2-OA) and other derivatives of unsaturated fatty acids such as nitro-linoleic acid (NO2-LA). In this study, we describe the behavior of 9/10-NO2-OA, 10-NO2-LA and the conjugated nitro-linoleic acid (9/12-NO2-cLA) in a model POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) membrane using molecular dynamics and selected experimental approaches. We showed that when loaded in liposomes, NO2-FAs undergo degradation (a decay reaction) to a very limited extent, in contrast to the free molecular form in an aqueous environment. This was confirmed by the electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of NO radical release. In general, NO2-FAs suppress membrane hydration, especially in the segment where the ester groups are located. Further, in the presence of NO2-FAs, there is increased membrane fluidity and a decrease in the degree of lipid order. These effects are greater for NO2-FAs than for their non-nitrated versions. The presence of a nitro group in close contact with the polar head groups was confirmed. This drives the tilt of the lipid chain which in turn induces membrane disorder. Protonated NO2-FAs penetrated more easily/deeper into the membrane structure than the dissociated forms and this makes the membrane bilayer surface more negatively charged based on zeta potential measurement. We also found that NO2-FAs incorporated into POPC liposomes retained their ability to activate the Nrf2 pathway. This was documented by an increased expression of heme oxygenase-1 at the level of mRNA, with a parallel decrease in protein levels of Keap1, in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The NO2-FAs treatment resulted in an increase in intracellular NO level in vitro as determined by a genetically encoded G-geNOp sensor. This was confirmed at statistically significant level only for NO2-OA, not for NO2-LA or NO2-cLA. The results indicate that biologically relevant NO release may be strictly dependent on which NO2-FA is investigated. This study supports the hypothesis that NO2-FAs are distributed (co-localized) in cells and tissues in the lipid or aqueous phase, which affects whether they are mobile, stable, and thus biologically active.
硝基脂肪酸(NO2-FAs)是内源性亲电信号调节剂,其中一些已被提出作为候选药物。主要有硝基油酸(NO2-OA)和硝基亚油酸(NO2-LA)等不饱和脂肪酸衍生物。在这项研究中,我们用分子动力学和选择的实验方法描述了9/10-NO2-OA、10-NO2-LA和共轭硝基亚油酸(9/12-NO2-cLA)在模型POPC(1-棕榈酰-2-油酰- asn -甘油-3-磷胆碱)膜中的行为。我们发现,与水环境中的自由分子形式相比,当装载在脂质体中时,NO2-FAs在非常有限的程度上进行降解(衰变反应)。通过对NO自由基释放的电子顺磁共振光谱分析证实了这一点。一般来说,NO2-FAs抑制膜水合作用,特别是在酯基所在的部分。此外,在NO2-FAs存在下,膜流动性增加,脂质有序度降低。这些影响对NO2-FAs比它们的非硝化版本更大。与极性头基团密切接触的硝基被证实存在。这导致脂质链倾斜,进而引起膜紊乱。质子化的NO2-FAs比解离的NO2-FAs更容易/更深地渗透到膜结构中,这使得膜双层表面更带负电荷。我们还发现,与POPC脂质体结合的NO2-FAs保留了激活Nrf2途径的能力。在小鼠巨噬细胞RAW264.7细胞中,血红素加氧酶-1 mRNA水平的表达增加,Keap1蛋白水平平行下降,证明了这一点。通过基因编码的G-geNOp传感器测定,NO2-FAs处理导致体外细胞内NO水平升高。只有NO2-OA,而NO2-LA或NO2-cLA没有统计学意义。结果表明,生物学上相关的NO释放可能严格依赖于NO2-FA的研究。本研究支持NO2-FAs在细胞和组织中的脂相或水相分布(共定位)的假设,这影响了它们的流动性、稳定性和生物活性。

The physical properties of lipid bilayers are known to depend on their composition, but there has recently been controversy about whether cholesterol (chol) does or does not stiffen biomembranes containing unsaturated phospholipids. Herein, avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-μSR) spectroscopy has been used to probe the local dynamics in model biomembranes composed of the saturated phospholipid 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), the unsaturated phospholipids 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), and the sterol chol. The presence of chol significantly stiffens the acyl chains in lipid mixtures as evident from the reduction of the amplitude of restricted reorientational motion in the acyl chain at the C9-C10 position and the increase of the torsional barrier for rotation about the bonds in the acyl chain. Swapping POPC for DOPC slightly increases the amplitude of restricted reorientational motion and decreases the torsional barrier of the acyl chains, but the magnitude of the effect is much smaller than the inclusion of chol.
脂质双分子层的物理性质取决于它们的组成,但最近关于胆固醇是否会使含有不饱和磷脂的生物膜变硬一直存在争议。本文采用避免水平交叉μ子自旋共振(ALC-μSR)光谱,研究了由饱和磷脂1,2-二棕榈酰-2-油基-甘油-3-磷脂胆碱(DPPC)、不饱和磷脂1-棕榈酰-2-油基-甘油-3-磷脂胆碱(POPC)和1,2-二油基- asn -甘油-3-磷脂胆碱(DOPC)和甾醇组成的模型生物膜的局部动力学。从C9-C10位置的酰基链受限重定向运动幅度的减小和酰基链上键旋转的扭转势垒的增加可以看出,胆固醇的存在显著地使脂质混合物中的酰基链变硬。将POPC替换为DOPC略微增加了限制重定向运动的幅度,并降低了酰基链的扭转势垒,但其影响幅度远小于包含chol。

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) are the main lipids present in thylakoids, site of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. In this work we are interested in the behavior of highly unsaturated MGDG and DGDG, studied by surface pressure measurements. Compression isotherms of these lipids show that they are able to form Langmuir monolayers, remaining in liquid expanded phase during all the compression. However, measurements at constant surface pressure and compression modulus suggest that these monolayers are not stable, even if increasing the number of spread molecules seems to increase the stability, with a particularly noticeable effect in the case of MGDG as compared to DGDG. Monolayers are then transferred on mica supports and resulting Langmuir-Blodgett films are imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy. Images and height profiles reveal the presence of thicker areas showing that some molecules are ejected outside the monolayer’s plane, with a higher propensity in the case of MGDG monolayers. We discuss these results taking into account two mechanisms, which may occur jointly: the oxidation of lipid hydrophobic chains and the desorption of lipids from the interface. The desorption amplitude would be higher in the case of MGDG, due to its propensity to organize in non-bilayer nature.
单半乳糖基二酰基甘油(MGDG)和双半乳糖基二酰基甘油(DGDG)是叶绿体中主要存在于类囊体中的脂类。在这项工作中,我们对高度不饱和的MGDG和DGDG的行为感兴趣,通过表面压力测量研究。这些脂质的压缩等温线表明它们能够形成朗缪尔单分子层,并在所有压缩过程中保持液体膨胀相。然而,在恒定的表面压力和压缩模量下的测量表明,即使增加扩散分子的数量似乎可以增加稳定性,这些单层也不稳定,与DGDG相比,MGDG的效果尤其明显。然后将单层膜转移到云母支架上,得到的Langmuir-Blodgett薄膜通过原子力显微镜成像。图像和高度分布图显示了较厚区域的存在,表明一些分子被喷射到单层的平面外,在MGDG单层的情况下有更高的倾向。我们在讨论这些结果时考虑了两种可能共同发生的机制:脂质疏水链的氧化和脂质从界面上的解吸。在MGDG的情况下,由于其倾向于以非双层性质组织,解吸幅度会更高。

The desorption amplitude would be higher in the case of MGDG, due to its propensity to organize in non-bilayer nature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":275,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry and Physics of Lipids","volume":"270 ","pages":"Article 105506"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenomenological description of a lipid membrane within the frame of the interphase model in which membrane is a bidimensional solution of hydrated lipids allows to make compatible the membrane theory and Ling hypothesis by considering the physical chemical properties of the aqueous lipid interphase.
The membrane suffers mechanical stress inducing changes in hydration and changes in composition. These conditions affect the amount of labile active water propense to response to bioeffectors. This behavior is properly described with the approach of thermodynamic of irreversible processes in which the membrane is an open system and is in a metastable state propense to react due to bioeffectors in the adjacent aqueous solution. In terms of this analysis, the hydration shell is inert to bioeffectors and the response of the membrane is given by the excess of water that is labile and osmotically exchangeable.
在间期模型框架内对脂质膜的现象学描述,其中膜是水合脂质的二维溶液,通过考虑水质间期的物理化学性质,可以使膜理论和Ling假说相容。膜受到机械应力,导致水合作用和成分的变化。这些条件影响不稳定活性水的数量倾向于对生物效应剂的反应。这种行为可以用不可逆过程的热力学方法恰当地描述,在不可逆过程中,膜是一个开放系统,由于邻近水溶液中的生物效应物而处于亚稳态,倾向于发生反应。根据这一分析,水合壳对生物效应物是惰性的,膜的反应是由多余的不稳定和渗透交换的水给予的。

Dynamic interactions between microbes and host are essential to stimulate the immune system, maintain intestinal homeostasis, and prevent pathogen colonization. In recent decades lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have received attention due to their probiotic potential and their impact on gut microbiota and host health. This paper aims to review the main molecular mechanisms by which bile acids (BA) modify the composition of the intestinal microbiota and bacterial viability, with special emphasis on the effect on LAB. The results discussed here suggest that the BA disorganize the structure of the bacterial cell wall, modify their surface properties, their adhesion capacity and compromise the integrity of the membranes, with loss of essential ions and nutrients. They then enter the cell interior, at rates that depend on their hydrobicity. There, they dissociate, causing intracellular acidification and dissipation of membrane potential. This leads to a deficiency in the biological energy needed for critical processes, leading to cell death at high concentrations. In addition, BA causes alteration and oxidation of proteins and nucleic acids. The extent of damage caused by BA is influenced by their structure, physicochemical properties—particularly hydrophobicity—and concentration. The response of LAB depends on both their intrinsic and adaptive mechanisms. Advancing research on these interactions represents a new frontier, enabling the development of strategies to modulate intestinal microbiota composition, ultimately benefiting human health.
微生物与宿主之间的动态相互作用对刺激免疫系统、维持肠道稳态和防止病原体定植至关重要。近几十年来,乳酸菌因其益生菌潜力及其对肠道菌群和宿主健康的影响而受到人们的关注。本文旨在综述胆汁酸(BA)改变肠道菌群组成和细菌活力的主要分子机制,重点介绍其对乳酸菌的影响。本文讨论的结果表明,BA破坏了细菌细胞壁的结构,改变了它们的表面性质和粘附能力,损害了细胞膜的完整性,损失了必需离子和营养物质。然后它们进入细胞内部,其速率取决于它们的水合性。在那里,它们解离,引起细胞内酸化和膜电位的耗散。这导致关键过程所需的生物能缺乏,导致高浓度的细胞死亡。此外,BA引起蛋白质和核酸的改变和氧化。胆汁酸(BA)造成的损害程度受其结构、理化性质(特别是疏水性)和浓度的影响。乳酸菌(LAB)的应答取决于其内在的和适应性的耐药机制。推进对这些相互作用的研究代表了一个新的前沿,使调节肠道微生物群组成的策略得以发展,最终有益于人类健康。

Background

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies among men, with a staggering 1.5 million new cases and 350,000 deaths reported globally in 2022. Conventional treatment methods, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and hormonal therapy, often encounter significant challenges such as systemic toxicity and diminished efficacy, particularly in the advanced stages of the disease. Treatment of prostate cancer remains a formidable challenge because of the poor water solubility of many chemotherapeutic agents, which severely limits their bioavailability. However, the rise of targeted therapies has catalyzed the development of innovative drug delivery systems designed to enhance the bioavailability and precision of therapeutic agents. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are a promising solution that can effectively encapsulate chemotherapeutic agents and genetic materials. Their unique attributes, such as biocompatibility, controlled release profile, and customizable surface properties, make them advantageous alternatives to conventional treatment strategies, effectively addressing the inherent limitations of prostate cancer therapy.

Methods

To provide the context, relevant publications were searched on Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Dimension AI, and EBSCO Host using specific keywords such as controlled drug release, cationic surfactants, drug delivery, drug loading, drug encapsulation lipid, prostate cancer, surface modification, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), tumor microenvironment, to list a few. We did not add any limits to the publication date during the inclusion of papers. However, it is noteworthy that the initial reports including the aforementioned keywords have been published starting from 2010.

Conclusion

SLNs demonstrate substantial potential as effective nanocarriers for precise delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and genetic materials to prostate cancer cells. Their targeted delivery to these cells by surface modification with suitable ligands, antigens, peptides, and other recognition molecules has enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Further research on the interaction of SLN with the tumor environment is imperative to fully comprehend the uptake pathways. Extensive translation and preclinical studies are required to determine the safety and efficacy of SLNs before their use in clinical settings.
背景:前列腺癌(PC)是男性中最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,2022年全球报告的新病例高达150万例,死亡人数达到35万例。传统的治疗方法,包括化疗、放射治疗、手术和激素治疗,经常遇到重大的挑战,如全身毒性和疗效下降,特别是在疾病的晚期。前列腺癌的治疗仍然是一个巨大的挑战,因为许多化疗药物的水溶性差,这严重限制了它们的生物利用度。然而,靶向治疗的兴起促进了创新药物输送系统的发展,旨在提高治疗药物的生物利用度和精度。固体脂质纳米颗粒(SLNs)是一种很有前途的解决方案,可以有效地封装化疗药物和遗传物质。它们独特的特性,如生物相容性、控释特性和可定制的表面特性,使它们成为传统治疗策略的有利替代品,有效地解决了前列腺癌治疗的固有局限性。方法:以谷歌Scholar、PubMed、Science Direct、Dimension AI、EBSCO Host等网站为背景,检索药物控释、阳离子表面活性剂、给药、载药、包封脂质、前列腺癌、表面修饰、固体脂质纳米颗粒(SLNs)、肿瘤微环境等相关文献。在收录论文的过程中,我们没有对发表日期进行任何限制。但值得注意的是,包含上述关键词的初始报告是从2010年开始发布的。结论:sln作为一种有效的纳米载体,具有向前列腺癌细胞精确递送化疗药物和遗传物质的巨大潜力。它们通过与合适的配体、抗原、肽和其他识别分子进行表面修饰,靶向递送到这些细胞中,提高了治疗效果。进一步研究SLN与肿瘤环境的相互作用是充分了解其摄取途径的必要条件。在临床使用sln之前,需要进行广泛的翻译和临床前研究来确定其安全性和有效性。

Phenotypic and lipidomic alterations in lung cells induced by organophosphate flame retardants 有机磷阻燃剂诱导肺细胞表型和脂质组学改变。
IF 3.4 3区 生物学 Q2 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-05-29 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2025.105508

Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are widely used as additives in plastics, electronics, and construction materials due to their flame-retardant properties. However, previous evidence suggests that OPFRs may pose potential respiratory health risks, including airway hyperresponsiveness, impaired lung function, and potential carcinogenic effects. This study evaluated the effects of seven OPFRs—TBOEP, TPhP, EHDPhP, TDCPP, TEHP, TCP, and TCEP—on the phenotype and lipidomic profile of A549 lung cancer cells, using both 2D and 3D culture models. TDCPP and TPhP significantly reduced cell viability, while TBOEP caused the highest increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by TPhP, TDCPP, and TCP. Moreover, TPhP, TDCPP, EHDPhP, and TBOEP also elevated the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). The lipidomic analysis of 3D cell spheroids exposed to OPFRs for 72 h revealed distinct lipid profiles for each compound at low (25 μM) and high (100 μM) doses. Common features were observed, particularly at high doses, including significant increases in triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, ceramide, ether-linked phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol species. These effects were generally more pronounced for TPhP, TDCPP, EHDPhP, TCP, and TBOEP. The accumulation of triglycerides, indicative of augmented energy storage, was confirmed by the visualization of lipid droplets formation. Results suggest disruptions in key toxicological pathways, including oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling (IL-8 upregulation), and apoptosis (ceramide accumulation), all implicated in lung diseases, such as COPD and fibrosis. These results provide a basis for assessing the health risks associated with OPFRs, highlighting the need for further research on chronic low-dose exposure levels.
有机磷酸酯阻燃剂(OPFRs)由于其阻燃性能被广泛应用于塑料、电子和建筑材料的添加剂。然而,先前的证据表明,OPFRs可能造成潜在的呼吸健康风险,包括气道高反应性、肺功能受损和潜在的致癌作用。本研究利用2D和3D培养模型,评估了7种OPFRs-TBOEP、TPhP、EHDPhP、TDCPP、TEHP、TCP和tcepp对A549肺癌细胞表型和脂质组学特征的影响。TDCPP和TPhP显著降低了细胞活力,而TBOEP引起的活性氧(ROS)增加最多,其次是TPhP、TDCPP和TCP。此外,TPhP、TDCPP、EHDPhP和TBOEP也升高了促炎细胞因子白介素-8 (IL-8)的水平。3D细胞球体暴露于OPFRs 72小时的脂质组学分析显示,低(25 μM)和高(100 μM)剂量下,每种化合物的脂质谱都不同。观察到共同的特征,特别是在高剂量下,包括三酰基甘油、二酰基甘油、神经酰胺、醚连接的磷脂酰乙醇胺和磷脂酰肌醇种类显著增加。这些影响在TPhP、TDCPP、EHDPhP、TCP和TBOEP中更为明显。脂滴形成的可视化证实了甘油三酯的积累,表明能量储存增强。结果表明,关键毒理学途径的破坏,包括氧化应激、炎症信号(IL-8上调)和细胞凋亡(神经酰胺积累),都与肺部疾病有关,如COPD和纤维化。这些结果为评估与OPFRs有关的健康风险提供了基础,突出了进一步研究慢性低剂量暴露水平的必要性。
