Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, which can be uptaken by cells and is essential for proper neuronal and retinal function. However, the detailed physical impact of DHA molecules on the plasma membrane is still unclear. Hence, in this work, we carried out μs-scale coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to reveal the interactions between DHA molecules and a model cell membrane. As is known, the cell membrane can segregate into liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordered (Ld) membrane domains due to the differential interactions between lipids and proteins. In order to capture this feature, we adopted the three-component phase-separated lipid membranes and considered both anionic and neutral DHA molecules in the current work. Our results showed that DHA molecules can spontaneously self-assemble into nanoclusters, fuse with lipid membranes, and localize preferably in Ld membrane domains. During the membrane fusion process, DHA molecules can change the intrinsic transmembrane potential of the lipid membrane, and the effects of anionic DHA molecules are much more significant. Besides, the presence of DHA molecules mainly in the Ld membrane domains could regulate the differences in the lipid chain order, membrane thickness, cholesterol preference, and cholesterol flip-flop basically in a concentration-dependent manner, which further promote the stability of the intraleaflet dynamics and inhibit the interleaflet dynamics (or promote membrane domain registration) of the membrane domains. In short, the impact of DHA molecules on the physical properties of a model cell membrane on the molecular level revealed in our work will provide useful insights for understanding the biological functions of DHA molecules.
