Photomodification of cell membranes, which in many cases is critical for cell k i l l i n g , is governed by the properties of membrane associated sensitizer. The heterogeneous structure of biological membranes can be an important factor in photosensitization reactions. Sensitizers and protective agents may associate preferentially with the hydrophobic membrane core, may accumulate at the aqueous interface or may bind to membrane proteins. Such localization effects can alter photomodification rates. Although singlet oxygen can diffuse across membrane interfaces in high yield in some cases, membrane associated sensitizer mediates most membrane photomodifications. The membrane environment can influence singlet oxygen generation. Model studies have shown that singlet oxygen quantum yields increase with decreasing solvent polarity. In liposomes or micelles both quantum yields and lifetimes are increased. Aggregation states of sensitizers are changed in the membrane environment leading to alteration of singlet oxygen production. Finally increases in temperature can increase singlet oxygen production due to effects on membrane fluidity.

B i o l o g i c a l membranes. Not o n l y a r e membranes c r i t i c a l cellular components and c r i t i c a l t a r g e t s f o r p h o t o m o d i f i c a t i o n , they a l s o present a unique environment f o r p h o t o s e n s i t i z e r s which generate s i n g l e t oxygen. I n f a c t i f t h i s were not the case we would not need to c o n s i d e r membrane s e n s i t i z a t i o n as a separate topic. The c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of s i n g l e t oxygen g e n e r a t i o n by s e n s i t i z e r s i n aqueous s o l u t i o n would a p p l y . As we s h a l l see t h i s i s not the case. Membranes present an environment that d i f f e r s from the s u r r o u n d i n g medium not o n l y i n p o l a r i t y , water content and d i e l e c t r i c c o n s t a n t , but they a r e heterogenous s t r u c t u r e s which present a v a r i e t y of domains w i t h which s e n s i t i z e r s can a s s o c i a t e and from which they can act. Current concepts of the s t r u c t u r e of c e l l membranes a r e based on the f l u i d mosaic model of S i n g e r and N i c o l s o n ( 8 ) . In this view, F i g u r e 1A, the membrane p h o s p h o l i p i d s a r e arranged i n a f l u i d b i l a y e r . T h e i r h y d r o p h o b i c , hydrocarbon t a i l s a r e o r i e n t e d toward the center of the b i l a y e r e x p o s i n g t h e i r p o l a r head groups t o the aqueous environment a t e i t h e r s u r f a c e . T h i s arrangement is s t a b i l i z e d by the h y d r o p h o b i c f o r c e s between the p h o s p h o l i p i d s and does not i n v o l v e c o v a l e n t bonding. The m a j o r i t y of the p h o s p h o l i p i d s are thus f r e e to d i f f u s e w i t h i n the plane of the membrane, but move with difficulty from one s u r f a c e of the b i l a y e r to the o t h e r . Membrane p r o t e i n s a r e i n s e r t e d i n t o the l i p i d b i l a y e r , e i t h e r p a r t way or e n t i r e l y spanning the b i l a y e r (so c a l l e d i n t e g r a l or i n t r i n s i c proteins). The p o r t i o n s of these p r o t e i n s which a r e i n c o n t a c t w i t h the h y d r o p h o b i c i n t e r i o r of the b i l a y e r a r e composed of a h i g h p r o p o r t i o n of hydrophobic amino a c i d s , w h i l e the p o r t i o n s exposed at the aqueous i n t e r f a c e have a h i g h p r o p o r t i o n of h y d r o p h i l i c amino acids. Thus the p r o t e i n s a r e a l s o s t a b i l i z e d i n p o s i t i o n by h y d r o p h o b i c f o r c e s and have the same a b i l i t y to d i f f u s e i n the p l a n e of the b i l a y e r but not a c r o s s it. Both the p r o t e i n s and p h o s p h o l i p i d s can have c a r b o h y d r a t e groups a t t a c h e d t o them, b u t such groups have been found o n l y at the o u t s i d e s u r f a c e of the c e l l . Most animal c e l l membranes have a v a r i a b l e content of c h o l e s t e r o l i n t e r s p e r s e d w i t h the p h o s p h o l i p i d s .

The most s i g n i f i c a n t m o d i f i c a t i o n of these ideas that has occurred i n recent y e a r s has been the d i s c o v e r y that i n many instances i n t e g r a l membrane p r o t e i n s a r e r e s t r i c t e d i n t h e i r m o t i o n by an i n t r a c e l l u l a r s k e l e t o n of p e r i p h e r a l ( o r e x t r i n s i c ) membrane p r o t e i n s that serve to anchor some of the i n t r i n s i c proteins i n l o o s e l y f i x e d p o s i t i o n s .

Still, in many i n s t a n c e s models p r o v i d e the o n l y information currently available. The model systems most o f t e n employed are m i c e l l e s or l i p o s o m e s , ( F i g u r e I B ) . The former are aqueous d i s p e r s i o n s of amphipathic molecules. These m o l e c u l e s which have a h y d r o p h o b i c and h y d r o p h i l i c p o r t i o n spontaneously form aggregates i n aqueous s o l u t i o n such that the i n t e r i o r of the a g g r e g a t e , or m i c e l l e , c o n t a i n s the h y d r o p h o b i c p o r t i o n s and thus mimics the membrane i n t e r i o r . The a r e a of c o n t a c t w i t h water mimics the membrane i n t e r f a c i a l r e g i o n and can be charged of e i t h e r s i g n , or uncharged depending on the s t r u c t u r e of the a m p h i p a t h i c m o l e c u l e used.

Membrane p h o t o m o d i f i c a t i o n and s i n g l e t oxygen g e n e r a t i o n i n membranes are o b v i o u s l y d i f f e r e n t from the analogous p r o c e s s e s i n simple homogenous s o l u t i o n . Membranes are s t r u c t u r e d , c o m p a r t m e n t a l i z e d systems of l i p i d s , p r o t e i n s and c h o l e s t e r o l w i t h domains of v a r y i n g h y d r o p h o b i c i t y and r e a c t i v i t y . The i n t e r a c t i o n of s e n s i t i z e r s with the membrane can be p i v o t a l in sensitization reactions. Both h a l o g e n a t e d f l u o r e s c e i n s and p o r p h y r i n s appear to l o c a l i z e near the membrane i n t e r f a c e and are e f f e c t i v e from that l o c a t i o n . They a r e relatively i n e f f e c t i v e , f o r m o d i f i c a t i o n of b i o l o g i c a l membranes, when g e n e r a t i n g s i n g l e t oxygen i n the medium e x t e r n a l to the membrane. S i n g l e t oxygen can modify many membrane components. Singlet oxygen quantum y i e l d s may be e i t h e r i n c r e a s e d or decreased i n the membrane environment depending on the sensitizer employed. P o r p h y r i n s are d i s a g g r e g a t e d by membrane a s s o c i a t i o n and demonstrate i n c r e a s e d quantum y i e l d s . Halogenated f l u o r e s c e i n s , which show no a g g r e g a t i o n e f f e c t s , have lower quantum y i e l d s i n membranes. S i n g l e t oxygen lifetimes are i n c r e a s e d i n the membrane environment independent of the mode of g e n e r a t i o n . I t can d i f f u s e a c r o s s membrane i n t e r f a c e s but the s i g n i f i c a n c e of t h i s in biological membranes i s q u e s t i o n a b l e . Finally temperature can modulate photomodification rates, p r o b a b l y through e f f e c t s on s e n s i t i z e r a s s o c i a t i o n w i t h the membrane and p o s s i b l y by i n c r e a s e d oxygen s o l u b i l i t y above the phase t r a n s i t i o n temperature of the membrane l i p i d s .

A number of q u e s t i o n s c o n c e r n i n g membrane p h o t o m o d i f i c a t i o n remain unanswered. These i n c l u d e the f o l l o w i n g . 1. ) What i s ( a r e ) the membrane t a r g e t ( s ) which a r e c r i t i c a l f o r cell killing (inactivation, lysis)? 2. ) What i s t h e most e f f e c t i v e l o c a t i o n f o rsensitizer i n b i o l o g i c a l membranes? 3. ) What a r e the t r i p l e t quantum y i e l d s f o r halogenated fluoresceins and the s i n g l e t oxygen quantum y i e l d s i n membranes? 4. ) What i s t h e l i f e t i m e o f s i n g l e t oxygen i n b i o l o g i c a l membranes? 5. ) What i s the p e n e t r a b i l i t y of singlet oxygen through b i o l o g i c a l membranes? 6. ) Can s e n s i t i z e r uptake account f o r the temperature dependence of membrane p h o t o m o d i f i c a t i o n ? In c o n c l u s i o n membranes appear to be e x c e l l e n t targets f o r photomodification. Many s e n s i t i z e r s a s s o c i a t e p r e f e r e n t i a l l y with the membrane, some generate s i n g l e t oxygen more e f f i c i e n t l y there, oxygen s o l u b i l i t y and hence oxygen c o n c e n t r a t i o n s a r e h i g h e r i n t h e membrane i n t e r i o r , and s i n g l e t oxygen l i f e t i m e s a r e l o n g e r i n the membrane i n t e r i o r . Since many o f the m o l e c u l a r components o f membranes a r e s u s c e p t i b l e t o p h o t o m o d i f i c a t i o n r e a c t i o n s , conditions strongly favor membrane m o d i f i c a t i o n . Perhaps then i t is u n d e r s t a n d a b l e , as s t a t e d a t the o u t s e t o f t h i s c h a p t e r , that membranes are so o f t e n i d e n t i f i e d as c r i t i c a l t a r g e t s i n c e l l u l a r and organism p h o t o s e n s i t i z a t i o n .
