Structures and rheological properties of hen egg yolk low density lipoprotein layers spread at the air-water interface at pH 3 and 7.

Résumé

Low density lipoproteins (LDL) from egg yolk have a classical structure of lipoprotein with a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a monolayer of apoproteins and phospholipids. This structure collapses during adsorption and all constituents spread at the interface. To understand better the nature of the interactions between apoproteins and lipids at the interface, we have deposited LDL at an air-water interface and analysed the isotherms during their compression on a Langmuir trough. Then, these LDL films were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. To identify the protein and lipid structures, we imaged films before and after lipid solubilisation by butanol. To study the interactions in the LDL films, we have varied the pH, ionic strength and used simplified model systems. We also studied the correlation between observed structures and interfacial rheology of the film. The isotherms of interfacial LDL films were similar for pH 3 and 7, but their structures observed in AFM were different. At surface pressures below the transition corresponding to the demixion of apoprotein-neutral lipid complexes, the LDL film structure was not governed by electrostatic interactions. However, above this surface pressure transition (45mN/m), there was an effect of charge on this structure. Around the transition zone, the rheological properties of LDL films at pH 3 were different as a function of pH (viscous at pH 3 and visco-elastic at pH 7). So, the rheological properties of LDL films could be linked to the structures formed by apoproteins and observed in AFM.
