Differential Phospholipid Substrates and Directional Transport by ATP-binding Cassette Proteins ABCA1, ABCA7, and ABCA4 and Disease-causing Mutants*♦

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: Lipid transport by the A-subfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters implicated in human disorders is poorly understood. Results: ABCA1 and ABCA7 export phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine across membranes, whereas ABCA4 ...

Effect of Nanoparticle Rigidity on the Interaction of Stromal Membrane Particles with Leukemia Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Cell membrane nanoparticles made with stromal cells are prepared and used to target leukemia cells. Deposition of the cell membrane onto rigid silica cores leads to increased uptake both in leukemia cell lines and primary cells from patients. These results show that nanoparticle rigidity affects the interaction between cell membrane nanoparticles and ...

ATP11C mutation is responsible for the defect in phosphatidylserine uptake in UPS-1 cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflets of cellular membranes. We and others previously showed that ATP11C, a member of the P4-ATPases, translocates phosphatidylserine (PS) at the ...

Direct binding of phosphatidylglycerol at specific sites modulates desensitization of a ligand-gated ion channel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are essential determinants of synaptic transmission, and are modulated by specific lipids including anionic phospholipids.

Permeation Enhancer‐based Ionogel Shows Remarkable Potential for Oral Insulin Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel formulation of decanoate in an ionic liquid inspired drug delivery system. The formulation demonstrates ideal physicochemical and material properties for oral peptide delivery. Findings indicate that choline decanoate (1:2 molar ratio) forms a viscoelastic gel that enables high oral bioavailability of insulin in rats ...

An optimized negative-staining protocol of electron microscopy for apoE4•POPC lipoprotein

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), one of the major protein components of lipoproteins in the peripheral and central nervous systems, regulates cholesterol metabolism through its interaction with members of the low density lipoprotein receptor family.

Molecular Mechanisms of Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis and Their Impact on the Design of Custom EVs

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are pivotal mediators of intercellular communication and disease, yet the fundamental mechanisms controlling their biogenesis and cargo selection remain unclear. This limitation hinders their diagnostic utility and therapeutic development.
