The interaction of large unilamellar liposomes carrying different surface charges with rat Kupffer cells in maintenance culture was studied. In addition to 14C-labeled phosphatidylcholine, all liposome preparations contained either 3H-labeled inulin or 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin as a non-degradable or a degradable aqueous space marker, respectively. With vesicles carrying no net charge, intracellular processing of internalized liposomes caused nearly complete release of protein label into the medium in acid-soluble form, while phospholipid label was predominantly retained by the cells, only .apprx. 1/3 being released. The presence of the lysosomotropic agent, ammonia, inhibited the release of both labels from the cells. At 4.degree. C, the association and degradation of the vesicles were strongly reduced. These results are very similar to what we reported on negatively charged liposomes (Dijkstra et. al., 1984). The interaction of both types of vesicles apparently proceeds by adsorption to the cell surface followed by virtually complete internalization by endocytosis. Similar experiments with positively charged vesicles indicated that only .apprx. 1/2 of the liposomes were taken up by the endocytic route, the other half remaining absorbed to the cell-surface. Attachment of all types of liposomes to the cells was strongly dependent on the presence of divalent cations; Ca2+ appeared to be required for optimal binding. Neutral liposomes only slightly competed with the uptake of negatively charged vesicles, both at 4.degree. C and 37.degree. C, whereas negatively charged small unilamellar vesicles and negatively charged latex beads were found to compete very effectively with the large negatively charged liposomes. Neutral vesicles competed effectively for uptake with positively charged ones. Apparently, neutral and positively charged liposomes are largely bound by the same cell-surface binding sites, while negatively charged vesicles attach mainly to other binding sites.
