We describe a new method to prepare asymmetric giant unilamellar vesicles (aGUVs) via hemifusion. Hemifusion of giant unilamellar vesicles and a supported lipid bilayer, triggered by calcium, promotes the lipid exchange of the fused outer leaflets mediated by lipid diffusion. We used different fluorescent dyes to monitor the inner and the outer leaflets of the unsupported aGUVs. We confirmed that almost all newly exchanged lipids in the aGUVs are found in the outer leaflet of these asymmetric vesicles. In addition, we test the stability of the aGUVs formed by hemifusion in preserving their contents during the procedure. For aGUVs prepared from the hemifusion of giant unilamellar vesicles composed of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/cholesterol = 0.39/0.39/0.22 and a supported lipid bilayer of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/cholesterol = 0.8/0.2, we observed the exchanged lipids to alter the bilayer properties. To access the physical and chemical properties of the asymmetric bilayer, we monitored the dye partition coefficients of individual leaflets and the generalized polarization of the fluorescence probe 6-dodecanoyl-2-[ N-methyl-N-(carboxymethyl)amino] naphthalene, a sensor for the lipid packing/order of its surroundings. For a high percentage of lipid exchange (>70%), the dye partition indicates induced-disordered and induced-ordered domains. The induced domains have distinct lipid packing/order compared to the symmetric liquid-disordered and liquid-ordered domains.
我们描述了一种通过半融合制备不对称巨单层囊泡(aGUV)的新方法。通过钙触发的巨大单层囊泡和支撑脂质双层的半融合促进了融合外叶由脂质扩散介导的脂质交换。我们使用不同的荧光染料来监测无支撑的 aGUV 的内叶和外叶。我们证实,在 aGUV 中几乎所有新交换的脂质都存在于这些不对称囊泡的外叶中。此外,我们还测试了半融合形成的 aGUV 在保存其内容物方面的稳定性。对于由 1,2-二硬脂酰-sn-甘油-3-磷酸胆碱/1,2-二油酰-sn-甘油-3-磷酸胆碱/胆固醇 = 0.39/0.39/0.22 组成的巨大单层囊泡和由 1,2-二油酰-sn-甘油-3-磷酸胆碱/胆固醇 = 0.8/0.2 的支撑脂质双层的半融合制备的 aGUV,我们观察到交换脂质改变了双层性质。为了了解不对称双层的物理和化学性质,我们监测了各个叶层的染料分配系数和荧光探针 6-十二烷酰基-2-[N-甲基-N-(羧甲基)氨基]萘的广义极化,该探针是其周围脂质包装/顺序的传感器。对于高脂质交换百分比(>70%),染料分配表明诱导无序和诱导有序域。与对称的无序相和有序相相比,诱导域具有独特的脂质包装/顺序。
