Cholesterol, a typical mammalian sterol, is biosynthesized by oxidation of lanosterol. From a molecular evolutionary perspective, lanosterol is considered the ancestral molecule of cholesterol. Here, we studied whether cholesterol is superior to lanosterol in regulating the physical properties of the lipid bilayer in terms of the structural effect on model biomembranes composed of a phospholipid. For comparison, oxysterol, which is formed by oxidation of cholesterol, was also studied. The phospholipid used was 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-<em>sn</em>-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), which is abundantly found in mammalian biomembranes, and 7β-hydroxycholesterol, which is highly cytotoxic, was used as the oxysterol. The apparent molecular volume was calculated from the mass density determined by the flotation method using H<sub>2</sub>O and D<sub>2</sub>O, and the bilayer thickness was determined by reconstructing the electron density distribution from X-ray diffraction data of the POPC/sterol mixtures at a sterol concentration of 30 mol%. The apparent occupied area at the bilayer surface was calculated from the above two structural data. The cholesterol system had the thickest bilayer thickness and the smallest occupied area of the three sterols studied here. This indicates that the POPC/cholesterol bilayer has a better barrier property than the other two systems. Compared to cholesterol, the effects of lanosterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol on lipid bilayer properties can be interpreted as suboptimal for the function of mammalian biomembranes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":275,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry and Physics of Lipids","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 105376"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139688534","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}

Herein, the lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNPs) constructed by a binary mixture of soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and citric acid ester of monoglyceride (citrem) at different weight ratios were used to encapsulate the hydrophobic ATV and hydrophilic PAC. The LLCNPs were further characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering.

This association is primarily attributed to HDL's direct involvement in cholesterol efflux capacity, which plays a pivotal role in reverse cholesterol transport. A novel active compound from <em>Nannochloropsis</em> microalgae termed lyso-DGTS, a lipid that contains EPA fatty acids, was previously isolated and found to increase paraoxonase 1 activity and enhance HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux and HDL-induced endothelial nitric oxide release. Here, the effect of different lyso-DGTS derivatives and analogs on HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages was examined, and the mechanism was explored. Structure–activity relationships were established to characterize the essential lipid moieties responsible for HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages. Lyso-DGTS, 1-carboxy-N-N-N-trimethyl-3-oleamidopropan-1-aminium, and lyso-platelet-activating factor increased HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages dose-dependently, mainly via the ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux pathway. The effect of lyso-DGTS derivatives and analogs on the surface polarity of HDL was examined using the Laurdan generalized polarization (GP) assay. A reverse Pearson linear regression was obtained between Laurdan GP values and HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux. Because the incorporation of bioactive lipids into the surface phospholipid layer of HDL leads to a decrease in Laurdan GP, these bioactive lipids may induce lower phospholipid ordering and greater free space on the HDL particle surface, thereby enhancing apolipoprotein A1 binding to the ABCA1 receptor and improving ABCA1 cholesterol-mediated efflux.
