By employing diphenylhexatriene steady-state fluorescence anisotropy, pyrenedecanoic acid excimer formation, and high sensitivity scanning calorimetry we have demonstrated that the liposomes containing phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and various mole fractions of ganglioside GD1ahad a gel-liquid crystalline phase transition between 15 and 25° C. Calorimetric measurements indicated that these phase transitions were broad and centered between 17 and 21° C. The enthalpy change of the transition was linearly dependent on the ganglioside concentration up to 10.0 mol% and plateaued between 11.4–16.2 mol%. The high enthalpy change (37 kcal/mol of GD1aadded into the PE bilayer) indicates the existence of PE-GD1acomplex structure in the liposomal membrane. It is proposed that semi-fluid domains containing six PE and one ganglioside molecule are present in the PE-GD1amembranes at temperatures above gel-liquid crystalline phase transition. The Sendai virus induced leakage of PE-GD1aliposomes has been investigated by using an entrapped, self-quenching fluorescent dye, calcein. The leakage rate was dependent on the mole fraction of ganglioside GD1aand was maximal at 6.3 mol%. Arrhenius plots of the leakage rates showed breaks in the 20–25° C temperature range, which correspond to the gel-liquid crystalline phase transition of the target liposomes. These data suggest that the rate of Sendai virus-induced leakage can be regulated via fluidity modulation by changing the PE to GD1aratio at constant temperatures.
