Omega-3 FAs EPA and DHA influence membrane fluidity, lipid rafts, and signal transduction. A clinical trial, Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl—Intervention Trial, demonstrated that high-dose EPA (4 g/d icosapent ethyl) reduced composite cardiovascular events in statin-treated high-risk patients. EPA benefits correlated with on-treatment levels, but similar trials using DHA-containing formulations did not show event reduction. We hypothesized that differences in clinical efficacy of various omega-3 FA preparations could result from differential effects on membrane structure. To test this, we used small-angle X-ray diffraction to compare 1-palmitoyl-2-eicosapentaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PL-EPA), 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PL-DHA), and 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PL-AA) in membranes with and without 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and cholesterol. Electron density profiles (electrons/Å3 vs. Å) were used to determine membrane structure, including membrane width (d-space). PL-EPA and PL-DHA had similar membrane structures without POPC and/or cholesterol but had contrasting effects in the presence of POPC and cholesterol. PL-EPA increased membrane hydrocarbon core electron density over an area of ±0–10 Å from the center, indicating an extended orientation. PL-DHA increased electron density in the phospholipid head group region, concomitant with disordering in the hydrocarbon core and a similar d-space (58 Å). Adding equimolar amounts of PL-EPA and PL-DHA produced changes that were attenuated compared with their separate effects. PL-AA increased electron density centered ±12 Å from the membrane center. The contrasting effects of PL-EPA, PL-DHA, and PL-AA on membrane structure may contribute to differences observed in the biological activities and clinical actions of various omega-3 FAs.
