PFOA induces fission of phase-separated phospholipid vesicles
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known for their strong surface activity, making them easy to disrupt cellular membranes. Here, we examine how perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most widespread PFAS species in the environment, interacts with phase-separated ternary vesicles as a model system for cellular membranes. We show experimentally that PFOA induces a rapid fission of the vesicle along the phase boundary. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the mechanism behind the fission process is attributed to the drastic change in the spontaneous curvature of the vesicle upon interacting with PFOA. Our findings reveal the significance of PFAS on the dynamics of phase-separated vesicles, implying a potential disruptive impact of PFAS exposure on cellular membranes.
