abstract = {Lipid-based nanoparticles are frequently used for drug or
DNA delivery into mammalian cells. However it is difficult
to determine whether such particles are taken up via
endocytosis or fusion to the plasma membrane. Here, we
propose a simple and reliable analytical method to do so
based on the unique spectral properties of the fluorescent
tracer BODIPY FL. At high local concentrations, this dye
displays an additional red-shifted emission peak that is
absent at low concentrations. In dye-loaded liposomes taken
up by endocytosis, the local dye concentration did not
significantly change upon internalization. Accordingly,
unchanged fluorescence spectra were detected. When cells
were incubated with liposomes able to fuse with the plasma
membrane of mammalian cells, a reduction of local dye
concentration and much weaker emission in the red-shifted
peak were observed. The ratio of intensities in both
fluorescence channels was shown to be a reliable indicator
of the cellular uptake mechanism. © 2015 International
