Therefore, NP cytotoxicity assessment requires a thorough understanding of the mechanisms by which these engineered nanostructures interact with the cell membrane. In this study, extensive Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the partitioning of an anionic, ligand-decorated NP in model membranes containing dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) phospholipids and different concentrations of cholesterol. Spontaneous fusion and translocation of the anionic NP is not observed in any of the 10-µs unbiased MD simulations, indicating that longer timescales may be required for such phenomena to occur. This picture is supported by the free energy analysis, revealing a considerable free energy barrier for NP translocation across the lipid bilayer. 5-µs unbiased MD simulations with the NP inserted in the bilayer core reveal that the hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligands of the NP surface rearrange to form optimal contacts with the lipid bilayer, leading to the so-called snorkeling effect. Inside cholesterol-containing bilayers, the NP induces rearrangement of the structure of the lipid bilayer in its vicinity from the liquid-ordered to the liquid phase spanning a distance almost twice its core radius (8-10 nm). Based on the physical insights obtained in this study, we propose a mechanism of cellular anionic NP partitioning, which requires structural rearrangements of both the NP and the bilayer, and conclude that the translocation of anionic NPs through cholesterol-rich membranes must be accompanied by formation of cholesterol-lean regions in the proximity of NPs.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/membrane-partitioning-anionic-ligandcoated-nanoparticles-accompanied-ligand-snorkeling-local-disorde", "reader_count"=>39, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Unspecified"=>1, "Professor > Associate Professor"=>3, "Researcher"=>7, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>4, "Student > Ph.

If you read our abstract sentence carefully, you will notice that we write \"...therapeutic nanoparticles, are able to translocate across the cellular membrane...\". Translocation is a general word in the context of reaching the intracellular environment and it does not tell us anything about the mechanism of translocation. Endocytosis is a specific mechanism of translocation across a membrane, whereas \"direct translocation\" is another mechanism, which is based on diffusion.\n\nI agree with you that currently there is very little evidence as to whether a NP could translocate directly across a cellular mechanism and this is exactly what we set out to investigate with CGMD simulations. You will notice from our computed free energy barrier that NP translocation in the case of 50% cholesterol, which is close to the concentration of cholesterol in dendritic cells (used in van Lehn et al etc), is too large and I postulate that direct translocation may not be the method of NP translocation in this specific systems. We are currently investigating other mechanisms that may be probable.", "isRemoved"=>false, "created"=>"2014-12-11T13:20:56Z", "lastModified"=>"2014-12-11T13:20:56Z", "creator"=>{"userId"=>"488038"}, "highlightedText"=>"", "competingInterestStatement"=>{"creatorWasPrompted"=>true, "hasCompetingInterests"=>false}, "parentArticle"=>{"doi"=>"info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003917", "state"=>"published", "journals"=>{"PLoSCompBiol"=>{"journalKey"=>"PLoSCompBiol", "eIssn"=>"1553-7358", "title"=>"PLOS Computational Biology"}}}, "replyTreeSize"=>0, "mostRecentActivity"=>"2014-12-11T13:20:56Z", "replies"=>[]}]}
