The Effect of Ethanol on the Physical Properties of Neuronal Membranes

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl) propane(Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the rate and range of lateral and rotational mobilities of bulk bilayer structures of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMVs)
from the bovine cerebral cortex. Ethanol increased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I′/I ) of Py-3-Py in the SPMVs. Selective quenching of both
DPH and Py-3-Py by trinitrophenyl groups was used to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational
mobility and the rate and range of transbilayer asymmetric lateral mobility of SPMVs. Ethanol increased the rotational and lateral mobility of the outer monolayer more than of the inner one. Thus ethanol has a selective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the SPMVs. Radiationless energy transfer
from the tryptophans of membrane proteins to Py-3-Py was used to examine both the effect of ethanol on annular lipid fluidity and protein distribution in the SPMVs. Ethanol increased annular lipid fluidity and
also caused membrane proteins to cluster. These effects on neuronal membranes may be responsible for some, though not all, of the general anesthetic actions of ethanol.
