Abstract

Plasma membrane organization profoundly impacts cellular functionality. A well-known mechanism underlying this organization is through nanoscopic clustering of distinct lipids and proteins in membrane rafts. Despite their physiological importance, rafts remain a difficult-to-study aspect of membrane organization, in part because of the paucity of chemical tools to experimentally modulate their properties. Methods to selectively target rafts for therapeutic purposes are also currently lacking. To tackle these problems, we developed a high-throughput screen and an accompanying image analysis pipeline to identify small molecules that enhance or inhibit raft formation. Cell-derived giant plasma membrane vesicles were used as the experimental platform. A proof-of-principle screen using a bioactive lipid library demonstrates that this method is robust and capable of validating established raft modulators including C6- and C8-ceramide, miltefosine, and epigallocatechin gallate as well as identifying new ones. The platform we describe here represents a powerful tool to discover new chemical approaches to manipulate rafts and their components.

摘要

质膜组织对细胞功能有着深远影响。这种组织的一个众所周知的机制是通过膜筏中不同脂质和蛋白质的纳米级聚集。尽管膜筏具有生理重要性,但它们仍是膜组织中难以研究的一个方面,部分原因是用于实验性调节其性质的化学工具匮乏。目前也缺乏用于治疗目的选择性靶向膜筏的方法。为了解决这些问题,我们开发了一种高通量筛选方法以及配套的图像分析流程,以鉴定增强或抑制膜筏形成的小分子。细胞衍生的巨大质膜囊泡被用作实验平台。使用生物活性脂质库进行的原理验证筛选表明,该方法是可靠的,能够验证已有的膜筏调节剂,包括C6 - 和C8 - 神经酰胺、米替福新以及表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯,同时还能鉴定新的调节剂。我们在此描述的平台是发现操纵膜筏及其组分新化学方法的有力工具。
