    HDL is a strong negative risk factor for atherosclerotic disease, and perhaps more potent target to prevent and cure the disease than LDL in Japan. However, no specific compound to raise HDL is clinically available, so that there is no firm evidence for the clinical effect of the increase of HDL. As our knowledge of regulation of HDL metabolism has advanced significantly in the past several years, a great effort is being made to develop such compounds, by inhibiting catabolic reaction of HDL, and stimulating maturation and biogenesis of HDL.

    Plasma lipoproteins play important roles for lipid homeostasis. Lipoproteins contain triglycerides and cholesteryl ester in the core. The lipoprotein surface is formed by phospholipids and cholesterol, and various apolipoproteins are bound to the surface of lipoprotein particles. Lipid emulsion particles have been used as models for plasma lipoproteins. The lipid emulsions are prepared by the method using a high pressure emulsifier. Compared with plasma lipoproteins, it is easy to alter the lipid composition of emulsion particles and apolipoproteins bound to emulsion surface. Various lipids and proteins affect the lipoprotein metabolism, and are associated with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. However, the roles of many components of lipoprotein particles are still uncertain. Therefore, lipid emulsions are useful for examining the mechanism of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

    A number of studies have appeared recently on the underlying mechanism of liposome-cell interactions under in vitro conditions, in which isolated cell populations or cell lines were used. However, our knowledge of how liposomes interact with cells, how liposomal physicochemical properties such as size, charge or fluidity, influence the interactions and the parameters that influence this in vivo is limited. We will summarize and discuss the relevant studies on this matter in this review.

    Membrane proteins play crucial roles in the mechanism underlying several aspects of cellular function. Nowadays there are so many attempts for structural studies of proteins, because we believe that the structures give us a lot of information to understand the functions and mechanisms. Electron crystallography is a way of the structure analysis by electron microscopy using two-dimensional crystals of the membrane proteins. It is also quite difficult to make the two-dimensional crystals, as well as the three-dimensional crystals for X-ray crystallography. The number of the structures solved by electron crystallography is much less than that solved by X-ray. However, it should be a great advantage that the electron crystallography can analyze the structure of membrane proteins which exist in the lipid bilayer as they were in vivo. In this manuscript, we would introduce the methods of two-dimensional crystallization summarizing only a few successful attempts.

    The diseases caused by the membrane disorder or damages are categorized as the Membrane-related diseases. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is one of the membrane-related diseases, has been considered to be accompanied by the oxidative damage of the neuronal cell membrane. Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ), which is a pathological key peptide of AD, interacts with biomembrane and this interaction has been recently paid attention from the viewpoints of not only conformational abnormality but also the influence to biomembrane. And therefore, the modeling of biomembrane using liposome has been desired to develop the liposome-based sensor system. In this article, we surveyed the sensor system using liposome. Firstly, the immobilization techniques for preparation of the immobilized-liposome sensor are surveyed. Secondary, some kinds of sensor have been introduced: (i) (metal affinity) immobilized-liposome chromatography, (ii) immobilized-liposome quartz crystal microbalance method, (iii) immobilized-liposome sensor (Amperometric method), (iv) membrane chip system. These techniques have been developed in a framework of “Membrane Stress Biotechnology”. The above methodologies could provide us the quantitative properties of stress responsive function of both the protein and the membrane.

    Cell membrane proteins from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM465 were converted into the adenosine (As) recognition materials by adopting 9-ethyladenine (9-EA) as a print molecule. The converted molecular recognition sites gave the affinity constant of 4.62 × 104 mol–1 dm3 toward As, which was determined by SPR spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that cell membrane proteins from G. thermodenitrificans DSM465 would be one of candidate materials to be converted into molecular recognition materials via an alternative molecular imprinting.

    Gas permeation properties through silica based metal-doped microporous membranes prepared by the sol-gel method were investigated. In order to control pore size and affinity with permeating gas molecules, especially with CO2 for CO2/N2 gas separation membranes, nitrates of Ni, Al, Mg metals, and ammonium salt of vanadium were added to silica colloidal solutions. The molar ratio of additives, Si/M was 9/1. CO2 and N2 adsorption measurements on pure silica and metal-doped silica powder samples were conducted to estimate the affinity of the membrane materials with those gases. Pure silica and Ni-doped silica showed the largest amount of adsorbed CO2. Ni-doped silica membranes showed no attract difference from a typical pure silica membrane for temperature dependencies of gas permeance, while Mg-doped silica membranes might have relatively smaller effective pores for CO2/N2 separation and the value of permeance ratio of 57 could be obtained at 50 ℃. On the other hand, V-doped silica membranes had larger pores and N2 gas permeance increased with decreasing temperature, which would result in lower performance of CO2 separation. Concerning the Al-doped silica membranes, the affinity with CO2 decreased by addition of Al. In addition, activation energy of He and H2 for permeation on Al-doped membranes became greater, which suggested densification of silica network because of Al dispersion in the dense phase.
