Abstract
The oxidized phospholipid oxPAPC, an oxidation product of polyunsaturated 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonylphosphatidylcholine (PAPC), has unique biological properties that include driving inflammation in select cell types. However, the underlying mechanisms by which oxPAPC exerts its effects on cellular function are unclear. Here we investigate the effects of oxPAPC (a mixture of oxidized products), compared to PAPC, on molecular organization in model membranes composed of mixtures of 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol that serve as a proxy for lipid rafts.
