Imaging and Manipulation of Plasma Membrane Fatty Acid Clusters Using TOF-SIMS Combined Optogenetics

Abstract: The plasma membrane (PM) serves multiple functions to support cell activities with its heterogeneous molecular distribution. Fatty acids (FAs) are hydrophobic components of the PM whose saturation and length determine the membrane’s physical properties. The FA distribution contributes to the PM’s lateral heterogeneity. However, the distribution of PM FAs is poorly understood. Here, we proposed the FA cluster hypothesis, which suggested that FAs on the PM exist as clusters. By the optogenetic tool translocating… Show more

“…Lipids play a critical role in various biological processes, including signaling, energy storage, and membrane structure. ToF-SIMS emerged as a powerful technique for identifying and quantifying lipids in biological samples, including brain ( Amaya et al, 2007 ), skin ( Kezutyte et al, 2013 ), liver ( Debois et al, 2009 ), heart ( Sämfors et al, 2019 ) etc., related to various research fields such as tumor microenvironment, pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury, and cellular membrane lipid composition ( Bich et al, 2014a ; Bich et al, 2014b ; Sämfors and Fletcher, 2020 ; Li et al, 2023 ; Zhang et al, 2023 ).…”
