Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a randomly sulfated polysaccharide that is present on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. The sulfated structures of HS were synthesized by multiple HS sulfotransferases, thereby regulating various activities such as growth factor signaling, cell differentiation, and tumor metastasis. Therefore, if the sulfated structures of HS could be artificially controlled, those manipulations would help to understand the various functions depending on HS. However, little knowledge is currently available to realize the mechanisms controlling the expression of such enzymes. In this study, we found that the ratio of 6-O-sulfated disaccharides increased at 3 h after adrenaline stimulation in mouse fibroblast cells. Furthermore, adrenaline-induced up-regulation of HS 6-O-sulfotransferase-1 (6-OST-1) was controlled by Src-ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Finally, inhibiting the signaling pathways for 6-OST-1 intentionally suppressed the adrenaline-induced structural alteration of HS. These observations provide fundamental insights into the understanding of structural alterations in HS by extracellular cues.

Abstract
Common practice to evaluate the efficacy of any compound as drug is done in cell-based in vitro system followed by in vivo murine model prior to clinical trial in human. Cardiac glycosides are very effective to kill human cells, but not murine cells. In this report, we describe the comparative molecular mechanism of oleandrin, a cardiac glycoside action in human and murine cells. Treatment with oleandrin facilitated nuclear translocation of FKHR in human, but not murine cells by dephosphorylating Akt. It activated MAPK and JNK in human, but not in murine cells and also induced expression of FasL leads to apoptosis in human cells as detected by assaying caspases activation, PARP cleavage, nuclear fragmentation, and annexin staining. Oleandrin interacted with human plasma membrane as evaluated by HPLC, altered its fluidity as detected by DPH binding, inhibited Na+/K+-ATPase activity, and increased intracellular free Ca2+ level followed by calcineurin activity only in human, but not in murine cells. Results suggest that human plasma membrane might be different than murine, which interact with oleandrin that disturb Na+/K+-ATPase pump resulting in the calcification followed by induction of Ca2+-dependent cellular responses such as apoptosis.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 is released from cells as a constituent of a complex that contains the small calcium binding protein S100A13, and the p40 kDa form of synaptotagmin (Syt)1, through an ER-Golgi-independent stress-induced pathway. FGF1 and the other components of its secretory complex are signal peptide-less proteins. We examined their capability to interact with lipid bilayers by studying protein-induced carboxyfluorescein release from liposomes of different phospholipid (pL) compositions. FGF1, p40 Syt1, and S100A13 induced destabilization of liposomes composed of acidic but not of zwitterionic pL. We produced mutants of FGF1 and p40 Syt1, in which specific basic amino acid residues in the regions that bind acidic pL were substituted. The ability of these mutants to induce liposomes destabilization was strongly attenuated, and they exhibited drastically diminished spontaneous and stress-induced release. Apparently, the non-classical release of FGF1 and p40 Syt1 involves destabilization of membranes containing acidic pL.

Abstract
The rates of accumulation, influx and efflux of vincristine have been examined in a series of multidrug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines which show exceptionally high levels of hypersensitivity (collateral sensitivity) to several resistance modifiers. The more highly resistant members of the series show significantly reduced levels of vincristine influx compared to the control cell line from which they were derived. It is possible that resistance modifier hypersensitivity and reduced vincristine influx may be due to a common change in membrane composition which has arisen during prolonged selection for vincristine resistance in these cell lines.

Abstract
The high-resolution proton magnetic resonance spectrum of leukaemic lymphoblasts is characteristic of neutral lipid in an isotropic environment. When such lymphoblasts are selected for resistance to the anticancer drug vinblastine, the intensity of this spectrum increases with increasing drug resistance. A reversal of this trend can be achieved by growing cells in delipidated serum, whereby lipid spectrum and drug resistance are diminished. However, both can be restored by subsequent regrowth in normal medium. Thus, although detectable genetic changes accompany the development of vinblastine resistance, the expression of these changes can be modulated by environmental lipid.

Abstract
Plasma membranes purified 32- to 45-fold were isolated from leukaemic T-lymphoblasts, both sensitive and resistant to the Vinca alkaloid vinblastine. On development of drug resistance there was a very significant elevation of ether lipid content. 1-0-alkyl phospholipid increased by 200% with a smaller 30% increase in 1-0-alkenyl phospholipid. Cholesterol and phospholipid levels were also found to increase by 50% and 30% respectively, while the lipid to protein ratio increased by 60%. More modest changes were observed in the fatty acid composition of the membranes, with an alteration in the double bond index from 35.3 to 41.2. These lipid changes may have important implications in the changes to membrane permeability that develop with drug resistance.

Abstract
The phospholipid and ether linked phospholipid content of leukaemic lymphocytes alters when the cells become resistant to low levels of the anti-cancer drug, vinblastine. Sphingomyelin and cardiolipin increase, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine and serine decrease in resistant cells. In addition, increases in 1-alkyl-2-acyl phosphatidyl choline and 1-alkenyl-2-acyl-phosphatidyl ethanolamine are concomitant with decreased 1,2-diacyl phosphatidyl choline and ethanolamine. Changes to the ultrastructure of the inner half of the plasma membrane bilayer, as a consequence of drug resistance, are illustrated by freeze-fracture electron microscopy.

Abstract
The effect of the antimitotic drug vinblastine sulfate has been studied on fully hydrated dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes in the temperature range 0 degrees to 60 degrees using differential scanning calorimetry and electron spin resonance spectroscopy with two fatty acid spin labels. In the gel phase, vinblastine interacts essentially with the DPPC polar heads and induces an important disorganization of the phospholipidic bilayer. The co-operativity of the main thermal transition is decreased. In the crystal-liquid phase, the drug penetrates inside the artificial membrane and induces the formation of domains which increased thermal stability. These effects are opposite to those observed with the drug isaxonine which is used to reduce the axonal degenerating effects due to vinblastine.

Abstract
Although ethanol is known to exert its primary mode of action on the central nervous system, the exact molecular interaction underlying the behavioral and physiological manifestations of alcohol intoxication has not been elucidated. Chronic ethanol administration results in changes in organ functions. These changes are reflective of the adaptive mechanisms in response to the acute effects of ethanol. Biophysical studies have shown that ethanol in vitro disorders the membrane and perturbs the fine structural arrangement of the membrane lipids. In the chronic state, these membranes develop resistance to the disordering effects. Tolerance development is also accompanied by biochemical changes. Although ethanol-induced changes in membrane lipids have been implicated in both biophysical and biochemical studies, measurements of membrane lipids, such as cholesterol content, fatty acid unsaturation, phospholipid distribution, and ganglioside profiles, have not produced conclusive evidence that any of these parameters are directly involved in the action of ethanol. On the other hand, there is increasing evidence indicating that although ethanol in vitro produces a membrane-fluidizing effect, the chronic response to this effect is not to change the membrane bulk lipid composition. Instead, changes in membrane lipids may pertain to small metabolically active pools located in certain subcellular fractions. Most likely, these lipids are involved in important membrane functions. For example, the increase in PS in brain plasma membranes may provide an explanation for the adaptive increase in synaptic membrane ion transport activity, especially (Na,K)-ATPase. There is also evidence that the lipid pool involved in the deacylation-reacylation mechanism (i.e., PI and PC with 20:4 groups) is altered after ethanol administration. An increase in metabolic turnover of these phospholipid pools may have important implications for the membrane functional changes. Obviously, there are other lipid-metabolizing enzyme systems that may exert similar effects but have not yet been investigated in detail. From the results of these studies, it is concluded that the multiple actions of ethanol are associated with changes in enzymic systems important in the functional expression of the membranes.

Abstract
Recent advances in our understanding of the asymmetric distribution of lipids across nervous system membranes coupled with the application of biophysical techniques to examine transbilayer structure and function have led to the formulation of a new hypothesis. The author hopes that the insights presented herein will stimulate investigation into this developing new field. The theory provides an approach to correlation the accumulation of nervous tissue membrane peroxidative and cross-linking damage, the loss of transbilayer lipid asymmetry, and loss of transbilayer neuroendocrine, transport, secretory and immunoregulatory functions. Central to this scheme is the role of membrane lipid asymmetry in regulation to and/or coupling of transbilayer functions.

Abstract
Vinblastine sulphate, an antimitotic and anti-inflammatory agent, modifies the thermal behaviour of the model membranes: the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine DPPC bilayers. The mixed DPPC and vinblastine sulphate multibilayers in the range of DPPC mole fraction 0.4 to 1 display clearly the gel-liquid crystal (chain melting) transition on the thermograms obtained with a differential scanning microcalorimeter. The molar enthalpy of this transition is slightly depressed by vinblastine sulphate (less than 10%). The temperature-composition phase diagram corresponds to a total insolubility of vinblastine sulphate inside the frozen (gel) bilayers and to a solubility of 0.2 (mole fraction) of vinblastine sulphate inside the fluid (liquid crystalline) bilayers. The dissolved vinblastine sulphate depresses the cooperativity number of the frozen in equilibrium fluid transition of the bilayers very strongly (4- to 5-times). Up to its solubility concentration, vinblastine sulphate increases the amount of the structural water of the bilayers and modifies the thermal behaviour of this water. The 'expelled' vinblastine sulphate molecules are retained by the polar groups of DPPC molecules and screen their electrostatic interactions with the structural water molecules. Below 0 degree C, the amount of the structural water, which forms the aqueous separation between two bilayers, is enhanced by vinblastine sulphate. However, the drug reduces (screens) the bilayers interaction with the structural water molecules.

Abstract
Murine fibroblasts, LM cells, were cultured in suspension or monolayer in a chemically defined medium without serum and exposed to polystyrene beads. The LM cells endocytized the beads in direct proportion to the bead/cell ratio and the bead surface area. However, equal volumes of beads irrespective of size or surface area were internalized. The lipid composition of the phagosome membrane differed significantly from the parent primary membrane in having higher contents of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and sterol but lower contents of sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine. When phagosomes isolated from suspension-cultured LM fibroblasts were exposed to trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid at 4 degrees C, 55 +/- 1.6% of the phagosomal membrane phosphatidylethanolamine was trinitrophenylated. The asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine across the phagosomal membrane was not affected by the bead/cell ratio, bead diameter, or exposure time of LM fibroblasts to the beads. When cells were reacted with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid at 4 degrees C prior to phagocytosis, the amount of trinitrophenylphosphatidylethanolamine was greater in the isolated phagosomes than in the parent primary plasma membrane. Culturing LM fibroblasts in suspension or monolayer had no effect on the asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine across primary plasma membrane bilayers. The data are consistent with the observation that LM fibroblasts grown either in suspension or monolayer internalize polystyrene beads at selective sites in the surface membrane.

Abstract
A new method for measurement of transbilayer distribution of sterol in plasma membranes is reported. The procedure utilized a fluorescent sterol, dehydroergosterol, and a chemical quenching agent, trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid. Dehydroergosterol was useful as a probe molecule for sterols for the following reasons, (a) Dehydroergosterol contained no bulky side chains as reporter groups. (b) Dehydroergosterol structurally resembled cholesterol and desmosterol, the primary sterol synthesized by LM fibroblasts. (c) Dehydroergosterol interacted with digitonin, filipin, and served as a substrate for cholesterol oxidase. (d) The phase transition of dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine was completely abolished by dehydroergosterol. (e) The native sterol of LM fibroblasts, desmosterol, was completely replaced by dehydroergosterol without effect on LM cell growth, cell doubling time, plasma membrane (Na+, K+)-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activity, microsomal NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reductase activity, and mitochondrial succinate-dependent cytochrome c reductase activity. (f) Neither the phospholipid composition nor the sterol/phospholipid ratio of LM fibroblasts were altered by supplementation with dehydroergosterol. The trinitrophenyl group of trinitrophenylglycine or of surface membranes of LM fibroblasts or red blood cells treated with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid was an excellent quencher of dehydroergosterol fluorescence. Fluorescence in mouse very-low-density lipoproteins, LM fibroblasts plasma membranes, red blood cell surface membranes, and in rat red blood cell membranes was quenched 95 +/- 3%, 20 +/- 2%, 75 +/- 4%, and 69 +/- 4% respectively when the quenching agent was present on only the extracellular site of the membrane. Trinitrophenyl residues effectively quenched the dehydroergosterol fluorescence in the plasma membrane of LM cells by 20% when dehydroergosterol was present from 1-85 mol/100 ml of the membrane sterol. When both sides of the plasma membrane were trinitrophenylated, greater than 95% of the dehydroergosterol fluorescence was quenched. In addition, when LM cells were cultured with dehydroergosterol, exposed latex beads, and the endocytosed particles isolated as phagosomes and treated with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid under non-penetrating conditions, the fluorescence of the dehydroergosterol was quenched nearly 64%. From these and other results we deduced that the inner monlayer of the LM fibroblasts plasma membrane was enriched with dehydroergosterol. In contrast, the distribution of the sterol in red blood cell membranes indicated an enrichment in the outer monolayer.

Abstract
The phospholipid polar head group composition of LM fibroblast membranes was altered by growing the cells in a chemically defined, serum-free medium containing choline, N,N'-dimethylethanolamine, N-monomethylethanolamine, or ethanolamine. The cells incorporated these bases into their membrane phospholipid such that 29-40% of the total plasma membrane phospholipids contained these polar head groups. Alteration of the phospholipid composition correlated with a depression of polystyrene bead phagocytosis by 36, 55 and 85% when the cells had been supplemented with N,N'-dimethylethanolamine, N-monoethylethanolamine, or ethanolamine, respectively. Pinocytotic uptake of horseradish peroxidase was depressed 44, 39, and 32%, respectively. The phagosomal membrane phospholipid composition qualitatively resembled that of the primary plasma membrane from which it was derived. However, enrichment of phosphatidylcholine, and other quantitative differences were noted in the phagosomal membranes as compared to the parent primary plasma membrane. Approx. 50% of the phagosomal membrane's phosphatidylethanolamine was accessible to the chemical labelling reagent trinitrobenzenesulfonate at 4 degrees C. The asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine across the phagosomal membrane did not appear to be altered by base analogues except in the case of phagosomes from cells supplemented with ethanolamine. The data were consistent with a nonrandom site for endocytosis with regard to phospholipid composition.
