    Abstract Lipid rafts display a lateral heterogeneity forming membrane microdomains that hold a fundamental role on biological membranes and are indispensable to physiological functions of cells. Oxidative stress in cellular environments may cause lipid oxidation, changing membrane composition and organization, thus implying in effects in cell signaling and even loss of homeostasis. The individual contribution of oxidized lipid species to the formation or disruption of lipid rafts in membranes still remains unknown. Here, we investigate the role of different structures of oxidized phospholipids on rafts microdomains by carefully controlling the membrane composition. Our experimental approach based on fluorescence microscopy of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) enables the direct visualization of the impact of hydroperoxidized POPC lipid (referred to as POPCOOH) and shortened chain lipid PazePC (1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) on phase separation. We found that the molecular structure of oxidized lipid is of paramount importance on lipid mixing and/or demixing. The hydrophobic mismatch promoted by POPCOOH coupled to its cylindrical molecular shape favor microdomains formation. In contrast, the conical shape of PazePC causes disarrangement of lipid 2D organized platforms. Our findings contribute to better unraveling how oxidized phospholipids can trigger formation or disruption of lipid rafts. As a consequence, phospholipid oxidation may indirectly affect association or dissociation of key biomolecules in the rafts thus altering cell signaling and homeostasis.

    Abstract Visible light can induce the generation of singlet oxygen and can cause oxidative stress, especially in melanocytes due to melanin photosensitization. Currently, there is no organic UV-filter that provide visible light protection. Previous studies showed that some antioxidants, such as apigenin (API), chrysin (CRI) and beta-carotene (BTC) besides neutralizing radical chain reactions can also quench singlet oxygen via physical or chemical quenching and exhibit potential for use in photoprotection. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of API, CRI and BTC on the protection against cell death induced by melanin photosensitization and understand the underlying mechanisms that are involved in the protection. Precise protocols of melanogenesis and quantification of singlet oxygen generation were developed. Viability of B16-F10 cells with melanin basal levels and after melanogenesis induction was evaluated after visible light exposure in the presence and absence of API, CRI and BTC. Results showed that API and BTC protected cells from photoinduced cell death API exhibiting superior photoprotective effect. We noticed that the efficiency of cell protection and the rate of singlet oxygen suppression are not well correlated, at least for the studied series of antioxidants, indicating that the anti-radical capacity should be playing a major role in protecting cells against the damage induced by melanin photosensitization. In terms of sun care strategies, both API and BTC offer protection against visible light-induced damages and may be effective topical antioxidants to be added to sunscreens.

    Abstract Methylene blue (MB) is a molecule that has been playing important roles in microbiology and pharmacology for some time. It has been widely used to stain living organisms, to treat methemoglobinemia, and lately it has been considered as a drug for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this review, we start from the fundamental photophysical, photochemical and photobiological characteristics of this molecule and evolved to show in vitro and in vivo applications related to PDT. The clinical cases shown include treatments of basal cell carcinoma, Kaposi's Sarcoma, melanoma, virus and fungal infections. We concluded that used together with a recently developed continuous light source (RL50(®)), MB has the potential to treat a variety of cancerous and non-cancerous diseases, with low toxicity and no side effects.
