Direct contact between fullerene C60 nanoparticles (NPs) and cell membranes is one of mechanisms for its cytotoxicity. In this study, the influence of C60 NPs on lipid membranes was investigated. Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) were used as model cell membranes to observe the membrane disruption after C60 exposure. C60 NPs disrupted the positively charged GUVs but not the negatively charged vesicles, confirming the role of electrostatic forces. To quantify the C60 adhesion on membrane and the induced membrane disruption, a supported lipid bilayer (SLB) and a layer of small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) were used to cover the sensor of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The mass change on the SLB (ΔmSLB) was caused by the C60 adhesion on the membrane, while the mass change on the SUV layer (ΔmSUV) was the combined result of C60 adhesion (mass increase) and SUV disruption (mass loss). The surface area of SLB (ASLB) was much smaller than the surface area of SUV (ASUV), but ΔmSLB was larger than ΔmSUV after C60 deposition, indicating that C60 NPs caused remarkable membrane disruption. Therefore a new method was built to quantify the degree of NP-induced membrane disruption using the values of ΔmSUV/ΔmSLB and ASUV/ASLB. In this way, C60 can be compared with other types of NPs to know which one causes more serious membrane disruption. In addition, C60 NPs caused negligible change in the membrane phase, indicating that membrane gelation was not the mechanism of cytotoxicity for C60 NPs. This study provides important information to predict the environmental hazard presented by fullerene NPs and to evaluate the degree of membrane damage caused by different NPs. Fullerene C60 NPs adhere on lipid membrane due to electrostatic force and cause membrane disruption.
