| Abstract | Cell adhesion is a central process in cellular communication and regulation. Adhesion sites are triggered by specific ligand-receptor interactions inducing the clustering of both partners at the contact point. Investigating cell adhesion using microscopy techniques requires targeted fluorescent particles with a signal sensitive to the clustering of receptors and ligands at the interface. Herein, we report on simple cell or bacterial mimics, based on liquid microparticles made of lipiodol functionalized with custom-designed fluorescent lipids. These lipids are targeted toward lectins or biotin membrane receptors, and the resulting particles can be specifically identified and internalized by cells, as demonstrated by their phagocytosis in primary murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. We also evidence the possibility to sense the binding of a multivalent lectin, concanavalin A, in solution by monitoring the energy transfer between two matching fluorescent lipids on the surface of the particles. We anticipate that these liquid particle-based sensors, which are able to report via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) on the movement of ligands on their interface upon protein binding, will provide a useful tool to study receptor binding and cooperation during adhesion processes such as phagocytosis. |
