Resumo
Estudos de visualização de GUVs por microscopias de fluorescência e contraste de fase, realizados com três mastoparanos (MP-1, N-MP-1 e MPX), evidenciam que alguns destes peptídeos induzem a formação de regiões densas na superfície das GUVS que foram atribuídas a agregacão ou segregação lipídica. Evidências experimentais anteriores mostraram que estes peptídeos apresentam atividade interfacial e suas cargas líquidas +2, +3 e +4 conferem atividade lítica preferencial em vesículas aniônicas, bem como atividade antimicrobiana contra bactérias Gram negativas e Gram positivas. A formação de domínios poderia ser um mecanismo lítico alternativo para a atividade interfacial. Segregação lipídica induzida por estes peptídeos foi então avaliada por calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC), observando-se o impacto destes peptídeos nas propriedades termotrópicas de misturas de lipídios que são miméticas de bactérias Gram negativas. As misturas binárias utilizadas foram POPE:DOPG (3:1) e DPPE:DPPG (4:1 e 1:4). A transição de fase gel-líquida cristalina da mistura POPE:DOPG em 20mM PIPES (140mM NaCl + 1mM EDTA, pH=7,4) foi centrada em 14 oC com um ”ombro”em, apro-ximadamente, 16 oC indicando miscibilidade incompleta destes lipídios. Na razão molar de lipídio por peptídeo (L/P)=400, os três peptídeos estudados induziram aumento na temperatura de fusão (Tm) de suspensão de vesículas multilamelares. Destes peptídeos MP-1, com carga +2, mostrou a maior variação de Tm. As mudanças em Tm foram observadas ser dependente da relação L/P, sendo maior deslocamento de Tm em L/P=15. O aumento da temperatura de transição de fase indica interação preferencial destes...
GUVs visualization studies by fluorescence and phase contrast microscopies, carried out with three mastoparan peptides (MP-1, N-MP-1 and MPX) provided evidences that some of these peptides induce dense regions in the GUV’s surfaces that were attributed to aggregation or lipid segregation. Previous experimental evidences showed that these peptides display inter-facial activity and their net charges +2, +3 and +4 confer preferential lytic activity in anionic vesicles as well as antimicrobial activity against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. The domain formation could be an alternative lytic mechanism for the interfacial activity. Lipid segregation induced by these peptides was then evaluated by differential scanning calorime-try (DSC), by observing the impact of these peptides on the thermotropic properties of lipid mixtures which are mimetics of the Gram negative bacteria. The binary mixtures used were POPE:DOPG (3:1) and DPPE:DPPG (4:1 and 1:4). The gel to liquid crystalline phase transi-tion of the mixture POPE:DOPG in 20 mM PIPES (140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH7.4) was centered in 14 oC with a shoulder in approximately 16 oC indicating incomplete miscibility. At lipid to peptide molar ratio (L/P)=400 the three peptides studied induced increase of the melting temperature Tm of multilamelar vesicle suspensions. From these peptides MP-1, with charge +2, showed the largest variation of Tm. The changes in Tm were observed to be dependent on the L/P ratio, displacing to larger temperature for L/P =15 ratio. The increase in the of the phase transition temperature indicate preferential interaction of these peptides with the anionic com-ponent of the mixture leading to the formation of domains enriched with the other component (POPE) which, in pure state, has the largest Tm.
