Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) mimic the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane and are also useful drug delivery vehicles. Controlled increase of the permeability of GUVs is a delicate balance between sufficient perturbation for the delivery of the GUV contents and damage to the vesicles. Here we show that photoacoustic waves can promote the release of FITC-dextran or GFP from GUVs without damage. Real-time interferometric imaging offers the first movies of photoacoustic wave propagation and interaction with GUVs. The photoacoustic waves are seen as mostly compressive half-cycle pulses with peak pressures of ~ 1 MPa and spatial extent FWHM ~ 36 µm. At a repetition rate of 10 Hz, they enable the release of 25% of the FITC-dextran content of GUVs in 15 min. Such photoacoustic waves may enable non-invasive targeted release of GUVs and cell transfection over large volumes of tissues in just a few minutes. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105449 | ISSN: | 2045-2322 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41598-021-82140-4 | Direitos: | openAccess |
