Sakaguchi Y, Kobayashi K, Takehara M, Nagahama M. Clostridium perfringens epsilon-toxin requires acid sphingomyelinase for cellular entry. Anaerobe 2023; 82:102753. [PMID: 37308057 DOI: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clostridium perfringens epsilon-toxin is considered to be a crucial agent in enterotoxemia in domestic animals. Epsilon-toxin enters host cells via endocytosis and results in the formation of late endosome/lysosome-derived vacuoles. In the present study, we found that acid sphingomyelinase promotes the internalization of epsilon-toxin in MDCK cells. METHODS We measured the extracellular release of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) by epsilon-toxin. We examined the role of ASMase in epsilon-toxin-induced cytotoxicity using selective inhibitors and knockdown of ASMase. Production of ceramide after toxin treatment was determined by immunofluorescence technique. RESULTS Blocking agents of ASMase and exocytosis of lysosomes inhibited this epsilon-toxin-induced vacuole formation. Lysosomal ASMase was liberated to extracellular space during treatment of the cells with epsilon-toxin in the presence of Ca2+. RNAi-mediated attenuation of ASMase blocked epsilon-toxin-induced vacuolation. Moreover, incubation of MDCK cells with epsilon-toxin led to production of ceramide. The ceramide colocalized with lipid raft-binding cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) in the cell membrane, indicating that conversion of lipid raft associated sphingomyelin to ceramide by ASMase facilitates lesion of MDCK cells and internalization of epsilon-toxin. CONCLUSIONS Based on the present results, ASMase is required for efficient internalization of epsilon-toxin.

Recruitment of tetraspanin TSP-15 to epidermal wounds promotes plasma membrane repair in C. elegans. Dev Cell 2022; 57:1630-1642.e4.

Abstract
Maintaining the integrity of the plasma membrane after cellular damage is essential for cell survival. However, it is unclear how cells repair large membrane injuries in vivo. Here, we report that the tetraspanin protein, TSP-15, is recruited to large membrane wounds and forms a ring-like structure in C. elegans epidermis and promotes membrane repair after an injury. TSP-15 recruits from the adjacent region underneath the plasma membrane to the wound site in a RAB-5-dependent manner upon membrane damage. Genetic and live-imaging analysis suggested that the endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT III) is necessary for recruiting TSP-15 from the early endosome to the damaged membrane. Moreover, TSP-15 interacts with and is required for the accumulation of t-SNARE protein Syntaxin-2, which facilitates membrane repair. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of the conserved tetraspanin TSP-15 in the cellular repair of large wounds resulting from environmental insults.

Abstract
Parasitic protozoa are eukaryotic unicellular organisms that depend on a variety of living organisms and can develop intra- and extracellularly inside their hosts. In humans, these parasites cause diseases with a significant impact on public health, such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis and amebiasis. The ability of a parasite in establishing a successful infection depends on a series of intricate evolutionarily selected adaptations, which include the development of molecular and cellular strategies to evade the host immune system effector mechanisms. The complement system is one of the main effector mechanisms and the first humoral shield of hosts innate immunity against pathogens. For unicellular pathogens, such as protozoa, bacteria and fungi, the activation of the complement system may culminate in the elimination of the invader mainly via 1- the formation of a pore that depolarizes the plasma membrane of the parasite, causing cell lysis; 2- opsonization and killing by phagocytes; 3- increasing vascular permeability while also recruiting neutrophils to the site of activation. Numerous strategies to avoid complement activation have been reported for parasitic protozoa, such as 1- sequestration of complement system regulatory proteins produced by the host, 2- expression of complement system regulatory proteins, 3- proteolytic cleavage of different complement effector molecules, 4- formation of a physical glycolipid barrier that prevents deposition of complement molecules on the plasma membrane, and 5- removal, by endocytosis, of complement molecules bound to plasma membrane. In this review, we revisit the different strategies of blocking various stages of complement activation described for the main species of parasitic protozoa, present the most recent discoveries in the field and discuss new perspectives on yet neglected strategies and possible new evasion mechanisms.

Caspase-7 activates ASM to repair gasdermin and perforin pores. Nature 2022; 606:960-967.

Abstract
Among the caspases that cause regulated cell death, a unique function for caspase-7 has remained elusive. Caspase-3 performs apoptosis, whereas caspase-7 is typically considered an inefficient back-up. Caspase-1 activates gasdermin D pores to lyse the cell; however, caspase-1 also activates caspase-7 for unknown reasons1. Caspases can also trigger cell-type-specific death responses; for example, caspase-1 causes the extrusion of intestinal epithelial cell (IECs) in response to infection with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium)2,3. Here we show in both organoids and mice that caspase-7-deficient IECs do not complete extrusion. Mechanistically, caspase-7 counteracts gasdermin D pores and preserves cell integrity by cleaving and activating acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), which thereby generates copious amounts of ceramide to enable enhanced membrane repair. This provides time to complete the process of IEC extrusion. In parallel, we also show that caspase-7 and ASM cleavage are required to clear Chromobacterium violaceum and Listeria monocytogenes after perforin-pore-mediated attack by natural killer cells or cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which normally causes apoptosis in infected hepatocytes. Therefore, caspase-7 is not a conventional executioner but instead is a death facilitator that delays pore-driven lysis so that more-specialized processes, such as extrusion or apoptosis, can be completed before cell death. Cells must put their affairs in order before they die.

ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2022; 48:760-777.

Abstract
To develop new strategies for improving the efficacy and biosafety of sonoporation-based macromolecule delivery, it is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying plasma membrane re-sealing and function recovery of the cells perforated by ultrasound-driven microbubbles. However, we lack a clear understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of the disrupted actin cytoskeleton and its role in the re-sealing of sonoporated cells. Here we used a customized experimental setup for single-pulse ultrasound (133.33-µs duration and 0.70-MPa peak negative pressure) exposure to microbubbles and for real-time recording of single-cell (human umbilical vein endothelial cell) responses by laser confocal microscopic imaging. We found that in reversibly sonoporated cells, the locally disrupted actin cytoskeleton, which was spatially correlated with the perforated plasma membrane, underwent three successive phases (expansion; contraction and re-sealing; and recovery) to re-model and that each phase of the disrupted actin cytoskeleton was approximately synchronized with that of the perforated plasma membrane. Moreover, compared with the closing time of the perforated plasma membrane, the same time was used for the re-sealing of the actin cytoskeleton in mildly sonoporated cells and a longer time was required in moderately sonoporated cells. Further, the generation, directional migration, accumulation and re-polymerization of globular actin polymers during the three phases drove the re-modeling of the actin cytoskeleton. However, in irreversibly sonoporated cells, the actin cytoskeleton, which underwent expansion and no contraction, was progressively de-polymerized and could not be re-sealed. Finally, we found that intracellular calcium transients were essential for the recruitment of globular actin and the re-modeling of the actin cytoskeleton. These results provide new insight into the role of actin cytoskeleton dynamics in the re-sealing of sonoporated cells and serve to guide the design of new strategies for sonoporation-based delivery.

Abstract
Expression of the deubiquitinase USP17 is induced by multiple stimuli, including cytokines (IL‐4/6), chemokines (IL‐8, SDF1), and growth factors (EGF), and several studies indicate it is required for cell proliferation and migration. However, the mechanisms via which USP17 impacts upon these cellular functions are unclear. Here, we demonstrate that USP17 depletion prevents peripheral lysosome positioning, as well as trafficking of lysosomes to the cell periphery in response to EGF stimulation. Overexpression of USP17 also increases secretion of the lysosomal protease cathepsin D. In addition, USP17 depletion impairs plasma membrane repair in cells treated with the pore‐forming toxin streptolysin O, further indicating that USP17 is required for lysosome trafficking to the plasma membrane. Finally, we demonstrate that USP17 can deubiquitinate p62, and we propose that USP17 can facilitate peripheral lysosome trafficking by opposing the E3 ligase RNF26 to untether lysosomes from the ER and facilitate lysosome peripheral trafficking, lysosome protease secretion, and plasma membrane repair.

Abstract
Iota-toxin from Clostridium perfringens type E is a binary toxin composed of two independent proteins: actin-ADP-ribosylating enzyme component, iota-a (Ia), and binding component, iota-b (Ib). Ib binds to target cell receptors and mediates the internalization of Ia into the cytoplasm. Extracellular lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) was previously shown to facilitate the internalization of iota-toxin. In this study, we investigated how lysosomal cathepsin promotes the internalization of iota-toxin into target cells. Cysteine protease inhibitor E64 prevented the cytotoxicity caused by iota-toxin, but aspartate protease inhibitor pepstatin-A and serine protease inhibitor AEBSF did not. Knockdown of lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsins B and L decreased the toxin-induced cytotoxicity. E64 suppressed the Ib-induced ASMase activity in extracellular fluid, showing that the proteases play a role in ASMase activation. These results indicate that cathepsin B and L facilitate entry of iota-toxin via activation of ASMase.

Abstract
The plasma membrane protects the eukaryotic cell from its surroundings and is essential for cell viability; thus, it is crucial that membrane disruptions are repaired quickly to prevent immediate dyshomeostasis and cell death. Accordingly, cells have developed efficient repair mechanisms to rapidly reseal ruptures and reestablish membrane integrity. The cortical actin cytoskeleton plays an instrumental role in both plasma membrane resealing and restructuring in response to damage. Actin directly aids membrane repair or indirectly assists auxiliary repair mechanisms. Studies investigating single-cell wound repair have often focused on the recruitment and activation of specialized repair machinery, despite the undeniable need for rapid and dynamic cortical actin modulation; thus, the role of the cortical actin cytoskeleton during wound repair has received limited attention. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of membrane repair mechanisms directly or indirectly involving cortical actin cytoskeletal remodeling.

Internalization of Clostridium botulinum C2 Toxin Is Regulated by Cathepsin B Released from Lysosomes. Toxins (Basel) 2021; 13:toxins13040272.

Abstract
Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin is a clostridial binary toxin consisting of actin ADP-ribosyltransferase (C2I) and C2II binding components. Activated C2II (C2IIa) binds to cellular receptors and forms oligomer in membrane rafts. C2IIa oligomer assembles with C2I and contributes to the transport of C2I into the cytoplasm of host cells. C2IIa induces Ca2+-induced lysosomal exocytosis, extracellular release of the acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), and membrane invagination and endocytosis through generating ceramides in the membrane by ASMase. Here, we reveal that C2 toxin requires the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin B (CTSB) during endocytosis. Lysosomes are a rich source of proteases, containing cysteine protease CTSB and cathepsin L (CTSL), and aspartyl protease cathepsin D (CTSD). Cysteine protease inhibitor E64 blocked C2 toxin-induced cell rounding, but aspartyl protease inhibitor pepstatin-A did not. E64 inhibited the C2IIa-promoted extracellular ASMase activity, indicating that the protease contributes to the activation of ASMase. C2IIa induced the extracellular release of CTSB and CTSL, but not CTSD. CTSB knockdown by siRNA suppressed C2 toxin-caused cytotoxicity, but not siCTSL. These findings demonstrate that CTSB is important for effective cellular entry of C2 toxin into cells through increasing ASMase activity.

Abstract
The perforation of plasma membrane by ultrasound-driven microbubbles (i.e., sonoporation) provides a temporary window for transporting macromolecules into the cytoplasm that is promising with respect to drug delivery and gene therapy. To improve the efficacy of delivery while ensuring biosafety, membrane resealing and cell recovery are required to help sonoporated cells defy membrane injury and regain their normal function. Blebs are found to accompany the recovery of sonoporated cells. However, the spatiotemporal characteristics of blebs and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. With a customized platform for ultrasound exposure and 2-D/3-D live single-cell imaging, localized membrane perforation was induced with ultrasound-driven microbubbles, and the cellular responses were monitored using multiple fluorescent probes. The results indicated that localized blebs undergoing four phases (nucleation, expansion, pausing and retraction) on a time scale of tens of seconds to minutes were specifically involved in the reversibly sonoporated cells. The blebs spatially correlated with the membrane perforation site and temporally lagged (about tens of seconds to minutes) the resealing of perforated membrane. Their diameter (about several microns) and lifetime (about tens of seconds to minutes) positively correlated with the degree of sonoporation. Further studies revealed that intracellular calcium transients might be an upstream signal for triggering blebbing nucleation; exocytotic lysosomes not only contributed to resealing of the perforated membrane, but also to the increasing bleb volume during expansion; and actin components accumulation facilitated bleb retraction. These results provide new insight into the short-term strategies that the sonoporated cell employs to recover on membrane perforation and to remodel membrane structure and a biophysical foundation for sonoporation-based therapy.

Abstract
Plasma membrane repair is essential for eukaryotic cell life and is triggered by the influx of calcium through membrane wounds. Repair consists of sequential steps, with closure of the membrane hole being the key event that allows the cell to recover, thus identifying the kinetics of hole closure as important for clarifying repair mechanisms and as a quantitative handle on repair efficiency. We implement calcium imaging in MCF7 breast carcinoma cells subject to laser damage, coupled with a model describing the spatio-temporal calcium distribution. The model identifies the time point of hole closure as the time of maximum calcium signal. Analysis of cell data estimates the closure time as: [Formula: see text] s and [Formula: see text] s using GCaMP6s-CAAX and GCaMP6s probes respectively. The timescale was confirmed by independent time-lapse imaging of a hole during sealing. Moreover, the analysis estimates the characteristic time scale of calcium removal, the penetration depth of the calcium wave and the diffusion coefficient. Probing of hole closure times emerges as a strong universal tool for quantification of plasma membrane repair.

Abstract
Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane. Different repair mechanisms and the bio-physical parameters required for efficient repair are now emerging from different research groups. However, less is known about when these mechanisms come into play. This review focuses on the existence of membrane disruptions and repair mechanisms in both physiological and pathological conditions, and across multiple cell types, albeit to different degrees. Fundamentally, irrespective of the source of membrane disruption, aberrant calcium influx is the common stimulus that activates the membrane repair response. Inadequate repair responses can tip the balance between physiology and pathology, highlighting the significance of plasma membrane integrity. For example, an over-activated repair response can promote cancer invasion, while the inability to efficiently repair membrane can drive neurodegeneration and muscular dystrophies. The interdisciplinary view explored here emphasises the widespread potential of targeting plasma membrane repair mechanisms for therapeutic purposes.

HER2-positive breast cancer that resists therapeutic drugs and ionizing radiation releases sphingomyelin-based molecules to circulating blood serum. Mol Clin Oncol 2020; 13:70.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world based on incidence, reaching more than 2 million new cases in 2018, while continuing to increase. Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of this cancer, making up approximately 70-80% of all breast cancer diagnoses. In particular, the type of breast cancer overexpressing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has potential of strong proliferation, migration and invasion and early treatment is necessary. The authors identified and studied a single patient displaying complete therapeutic resistance to monoclonal anti-HER2 antibody therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A patient who exhibited resistance to postoperative adjuvant therapy after mastectomy was selected from HER2-positive breast cancer, and this patient had the grade of T4bN2aM0, Stage IIIB. The patient samples, blood serum and cancer tissue, were analyzed by metabolome and immunostaining technique, respectively. The characteristics of peripheral blood serum and solid tumor were investigated, aiming to find new serum biomarker(s) using the metabolomics technique. A correlation between the appearance of HER2-positive cancer tissue and serum concentration of the sphingomyelin family was found. In addition, HER2-positive tumor tissue in both the primary and recurrent cancer express the sphingomyelinase. These results suggest that sphingomyelins from this cancer tissue leads to therapy resistance, induction of invasion and strong proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Defective complement inhibition can lead to the formation of membrane attack complexes (MAC; C5b-9) on the plasma membranes of vascular endothelial cells, resulting in injury that drives the progression of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), a key pathology in kidney disease. OBJECTIVE/METHODS We examined the response of human endothelial cells to complement-mediated damage using blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) derived from healthy donors. BOECs were sensitized to complement factors present in normal human serum to induce the formation of C5b-9 on their plasma membranes. RESULTS This triggered an expected abrupt rise in intracellular Ca2+ reflecting membrane leakage. Remarkably, while intracellular Ca2+ remained elevated, membrane leakage ceased within 30 minutes, and cells did not show significant death. Extensive mobilization of Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) was observed along with secretion of von Willebrand factor (VWF). The potential role of WPBs and VWF in mitigating complement-mediated damage was examined by comparing the effects of C5b-9 on BOECs derived from von Willebrand disease (VWD) patients expressing reduced amounts of VWF, lacking expression of functional VWF, or lacking both VWF and WPBs. BOECs lacking WPBs were not resistant to complement-mediated damage, but became resistant when transfected to express VWF (and thus WPBs). CONCLUSION We conclude that BOECs exposed to C5b-9 attack respond by mobilizing WPBs, which mitigate and repair damage by fusing with the plasma membrane. We propose that a similar cell-specific response may protect the vascular endothelium from complement-mediated damage in vivo.

Abstract
The small β-pore-forming α-toxin, also termed α-hemolysin or Hla is considered to be an important virulence factor of Staphylococcus aureus. Perforation of the plasma membrane (PM) by Hla leads to uncontrolled flux of ions and water. Already a small number of toxin pores seems to be sufficient to induce complex cellular responses, many of which depend on the efflux of potassium. In this article, we discuss the implications of secondary membrane lesions, for example, by endogenous channels, for Hla-mediated toxicity, for calcium-influx and membrane repair. Activation of purinergic receptors has been proposed to be a major contributor to the lytic effects of various pore forming proteins, but new findings raise doubts that this holds true for Hla. However, the recently discovered cellular pore forming proteins gasdermin D and Mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) which perforate the PM from the cytosolic side might contribute to both calcium-influx-dependent damage and membrane repair. Activation of endogenous pore forming proteins by Hla above a threshold concentration could explain the apparent dependence of pore characteristics on toxin concentrations. If secondary membrane damage in the aftermath of Hla-attack contributes significantly to overall PM permeability, it might be an interesting target for new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Dysferlin is a transmembrane C-2 domain-containing protein involved in vesicle trafficking and membrane remodeling in skeletal muscle cells. However, the mechanism by which dysferlin regulates these cellular processes remains unclear. Since actin dynamics is critical for vesicle trafficking and membrane remodeling, we studied the role of dysferlin in Ca2+-induced G-actin incorporation into filaments in four different immortalized myoblast cell lines (DYSF2, DYSF3, AB320, and ER) derived from patients harboring mutations in the dysferlin gene. As compared with immortalized myoblasts obtained from a control subject, dysferlin expression and G-actin incorporation were significantly decreased in myoblasts from dysferlinopathy patients. Stable knockdown of dysferlin with specific shRNA in control myoblasts also significantly reduced G-actin incorporation. The impaired G-actin incorporation was restored by the expression of full-length dysferlin as well as dysferlin N-terminal or C-terminal regions, both of which contain three C2 domains. DYSF3 myoblasts also exhibited altered distribution of annexin A2, a dysferlin partner involved in actin remodeling. However, dysferlin N-terminal and C-terminal regions appeared to not fully restore such annexin A2 mislocation. Then, our results suggest that dysferlin regulates actin remodeling by a mechanism that does to not involve annexin A2.

Abstract
In order to survive daily insults, cells have evolved various mechanisms that detect, stabilize and repair damages done to their plasma membrane and cytoskeletal structures. Damage to the PM endangers wounded cells by exposing them to uncontrolled exchanges with the extracellular milieu. The processes and molecular machinery enabling PM repair are therefore at the center of the bulk of the investigations into single-cell repair program. Wounds are repaired by dynamically remodeling the composition and shape of the injured area through exocytosis-mediated release of intracellular membrane components to the wounded area, endocytosis-mediated removal of the injured area, or the shedding of the injury. The wound healing program of Xenopus oocytes and early Drosophila embryos is by contrast, mostly characterized by the rapid formation of a large membrane patch over the wound that eventually fuse with the plasma membrane which restores plasma membrane continuity and lead to the shedding of patch material into the extracellular space. Formation and contraction of actomyosin ring restores normal plasma membrane composition and organizes cytoskeletal repairs. The extend of the contributions of the cytoskeleton to the wound healing program of somatic cells have comparatively received little attention. This review offers a survey of the current knowledge on how actin dynamics, myosin-based contraction and other cytoskeletal structures affects PM and cortical cytoskeleton repair of somatic cells.

Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica is a pathogen that during its infective process confronts the host defenses, which damages the amoebic plasma membrane (PM), resulting in the loss of viability. However, it is unknown whether amoebic trophozoites are able to repair their PM when it is damaged. Acid sphingomyelinases (aSMases) have been reported in mammalian cells to promote endocytosis and removal of PM lesions. In this work, six predicted amoebic genes encoding for aSMases were found to be transcribed in the HM1:IMSS strain, finding that the EhaSM6 gene is the most transcribed in basal growth conditions and rendered a functional protein. The secreted aSMase activity detected was stimulated by Mg+2 and inhibited by Co+2. Trophozoites that overexpress the EhaSM6 gene (HM1-SM6HA) exhibit an increase of 2-fold in the secreted aSMase activity. This transfectant trophozoites exposed to pore-forming molecules (SLO, Magainin, β-Defensin 2 and human complement) exhibited an increase from 6 to 25-fold in the secreted aSMase activity which correlated with higher amoebic viability in a Ca+2 dependent process. However, other agents that affect the PM such as hydrogen peroxide also induced an increase of secreted aSMase, but to a lesser extent. The aSMase6 enzyme is N- and C-terminal processed. Confocal and transmission electron microscopy showed that trophozoites treated with SLO presented a migration of lysosomes containing the aSMase towards the PM, inducing the formation of membrane patches and endosomes in the control strain. These cellular structures were increased in the overexpressing strain, indicating the involvement of the aSMase6 in the PM injury repair. The pore-forming molecules induced an increase in the expression of EhaSM1, 2, 5 and 6 genes, meanwhile, hydrogen peroxide induced an increase in all of them. In all the conditions evaluated, the EhaSM6 gene exhibited the highest levels of induction. Overall, these novel findings show that the aSMase6 enzyme from E. histolytica promotes the repair of the PM damaged with pore-forming molecules to prevent losing cell integrity. This novel system could act when encountered with the lytic defense systems of the host. The host-amoeba relationship is based on a series of interplays between host defense mechanisms and parasite survival strategies. While host cells elaborate diverse mechanisms for pathogen elimination, Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites have also developed complex strategies to counteract host immune response and facilitate its own survival while confronting host defenses. E. histolytica exposed to pore-forming proteins such as β-Defensin 2, human complement and Streptolysin O (SLO), increases the activity of secreted aSMase, which is related to greater amoebic viability. Other agents that affect plasma membrane (PM) may also increase secreted aSMase but to a lesser extent. SLO form pores in the PM of E. histolytica trophozoites that initiates the uncontrolled entry of Ca2+, recognized as the primary trigger for cell responses which favors the migration of the lysosomes to the periphery of the cell, fuses with the PM and release their content, including aSMase to the external side of the cell. The secreted aSMase favoring the internalization of the lesion for its degradation in phagolysosomes. During the early stages of PM damage, the pores are rapidly blocked by patch-like structures that prevent the lysis of the trophozoite and immediately begin internalizing the lesion. The aSMase6 overexpression favors the repair of the lesion and the survival of E. histolytica trophozoites. Pore-forming proteins induced an increase in the expression of EhaSM1, 2, 5 and 6 genes, meanwhile oxidative stress induced an increase in all of them. Here we report, for the first time, that E. histolytica possess a mechanism for PM damage repair mediated by aSMase similar to the system described in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Microbubble-assisted ultrasound has emerged as a promising method for the delivery of low-molecular-weight chemotherapeutic molecules, nucleic acids, therapeutic peptides, and antibodies in vitro and in vivo. Its clinical applications are under investigation for local delivery drug in oncology and neurology. However, the biophysical mechanisms supporting the acoustically mediated membrane permeabilization are not fully established. This review describes the present state of the investigations concerning the acoustically mediated stimuli (i.e., mechanical, chemical, and thermal stimuli) as well as the molecular and cellular actors (i.e., membrane pores and endocytosis) involved in the reversible membrane permeabilization process. The different hypotheses, which were proposed to give a biophysical description of the membrane permeabilization, are critically discussed.

Abstract
Phobalysin P (PhlyP, for photobacterial lysin encoded on a plasmid) is a recently described small β-pore forming toxin of Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (Pdd). This organism, belonging to the family of Vibrionaceae, is an emerging pathogen of fish and various marine animals, which occasionally causes life-threatening soft tissue infections and septicemia in humans. By using genetically modified Pdd strains, PhlyP was found to be an important virulence factor. More recently, in vitro studies with purified PhlyP elucidated some basic consequences of pore formation. Being the first bacterial small β-pore forming toxin shown to trigger calcium-influx dependent membrane repair, PhlyP has advanced to a revealing model toxin to study this important cellular function. Further, results from co-culture experiments employing various Pdd strains and epithelial cells together with data on other bacterial toxins indicate that limited membrane damage may generally enhance the association of bacteria with target cells. Thereby, remodeling of plasma membrane and cytoskeleton during membrane repair could be involved. In addition, a chemotaxis-dependent attack-and track mechanism influenced by environmental factors like salinity may contribute to PhlyP-dependent association of Pdd with cells. Obviously, a synoptic approach is required to capture the regulatory links governing the interaction of Pdd with target cells. The characterization of Pdd’s secretome may hold additional clues because it may lead to the identification of proteases activating PhlyP’s pro-form. Current findings on PhlyP support the notion that pore forming toxins are not just killer proteins but serve bacteria to fulfill more subtle functions, like accessing their host.

Abstract
Intracellular parasites of the genus Leishmania are the causative agents of leishmaniasis. The disease is transmitted by the bite of a sand fly vector which inoculates the parasite into the skin of mammalian hosts, including humans. During chronic infection the parasite lives and replicates inside phagocytic cells, notably the macrophages. An interesting but overlooked finding is that other cell types and even non-phagocytic cells have been found infected by Leishmania spp. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which Leishmania invades such cells were not studied to date. Here we show that L. amazonensis can actively induce their own entry into fibroblasts independently of actin cytoskeleton activity, thus by a mechanism that is distinct from phagocytosis. Invasion involves subversion of host cell functions such as calcium signaling and recruitment and exocytosis of host cell lysosomes involved in plasma membrane repair.

Abstract
IL-1β is an essential cytokine, but its release needs to be strictly controlled to avoid severe inflammatory manifestations. Lacking a signal sequence, IL-1β does not follow the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi route. Several pathways have been proposed to mediate its release. One involves the translocation of pro-IL-1β into intracellular vesicles of lysosomal origin that eventually fuse with the plasma membrane. Another exploits pores formed on the plasma membrane upon proteolytic cleavage of gasdermin D (GSDMD). Here we investigated how primary monocytes-the main source of IL-1β in humans-control IL-1β release in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli of increasing intensity and found that two different routes are induced depending on the strength of activation. Triggering of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by LPS induces slow IL-1β release through LAMP2A+ vesicles. In contrast, the simultaneous stimulation of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR7/8 drives high levels of ROS, GSDMD cleavage and faster IL-1β secretion. Drugs blocking ROS production prevent GSDMD cleavage supporting a role of oxidative stress in GSDMD-mediated secretion. Singly stimulated monocytes undergo apoptosis, whereas triple stimulation triggers pyroptosis, which might amplify inflammation. In both cases, however, IL-1β secretion precedes cell death. Inhibition of caspases 4/5 prevents GSDMD cleavage and pore-mediated secretion, but not vesicular release. The two pathways also display other distinct pharmacologic sensitivities that reflect the underlying mechanisms. Remarkably, single TLR4 stimulation is sufficient to activate massive, GSDMD-mediated IL-1β secretion in monocytes from patients affected by Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS), an autoinflammatory disease linked to NLRP3 mutations. The exaggerated sensitivity to activation correlates with high basal ROS levels in CAPS monocytes. In conclusion, the vesicular pathway limits IL-1β release upon low pathogen load while stronger stimulation or concomitant cell stress induce instead uncontrolled secretion via GSDMD leading to detrimental inflammatory manifestations.

Abstract
Plasma membrane forms the barrier between the cytoplasm and the environment. Cells constantly and selectively transport molecules across their plasma membrane without disrupting it. Any disruption in the plasma membrane compromises its selective permeability and is lethal, if not rapidly repaired. There is a growing understanding of the organelles, proteins, lipids, and small molecules that help cells signal and efficiently coordinate plasma membrane repair. This review aims to summarize how these subcellular responses are coordinated and how cellular signals generated due to plasma membrane injury interact with each other to spatially and temporally coordinate repair. With the involvement of calcium and redox signaling in single cell and tissue repair, we will discuss how these and other related signals extend from single cell repair to tissue level repair. These signals link repair processes that are activated immediately after plasma membrane injury with longer term processes regulating repair and regeneration of the damaged tissue. We propose that investigating cell and tissue repair as part of a continuum of wound repair mechanisms would be of value in treating degenerative diseases.

Abstract
Immunotherapy provides a new treatment option for cancer. However, it may be therapeutically insufficient if only using the self-immune system alone to attack the tumor without any aiding methods. To overcome this drawback and improve the efficiency of therapy, new treatment methods are emerging. In recent years, ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction (UMMD) has shown great potential in cancer immunotherapy. Using the combination of ultrasound and targeted microbubbles, molecules such as antigens or genes encoding antigens can be efficiently and specifically delivered into the tumor tissue. This review focuses on the recent progress in the application of UMMD in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical applications ranging from biomanufacture to cell-based therapies. Here, we review techniques for membrane disruption-based intracellular delivery from 1911 until the present. These methods achieve rapid, direct, and universal delivery of almost any cargo molecule or material that can be dispersed in solution. We start by covering the motivations for intracellular delivery and the challenges associated with the different cargo types-small molecules, proteins/peptides, nucleic acids, synthetic nanomaterials, and large cargo. The review then presents a broad comparison of delivery strategies followed by an analysis of membrane disruption mechanisms and the biology of the cell response. We cover mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and chemical strategies of membrane disruption with a particular emphasis on their applications and challenges to implementation. Throughout, we highlight specific mechanisms of membrane disruption and suggest areas in need of further experimentation. We hope the concepts discussed in our review inspire scientists and engineers with further ideas to improve intracellular delivery.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle undergoes many micro-membrane lesions at physiological state. Based on their sizes and magnitude these lesions are repaired via different complexes on a specific spatio-temporal manner. One of the major repair complex is a dysferlin-dependent mechanism. Accordingly, mutations in the DYSF gene encoding dysferlin results in the development of several muscle pathologies called dysferlinopathies, where abnormalities of the membrane repair process have been characterized in patients and animal models. Recent efforts have been deployed to decipher the function of dysferlin, they shed light on its direct implication in sarcolemma resealing after injuries. These discoveries served as a strong ground to design therapeutic approaches for dysferlin-deficient patients. This review detailed the different partners and function of dysferlin and positions the sarcolemma repair in normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have various functions, including chromatin remodeling and the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. However, few lncRNAs have been investigated comprehensively, with the majority being uncharacterized. In the present study, a bioinformatics pipeline was established to identify novel lncRNA sequences similar to the 3'-untranslated regions (3'‑UTRs) of protein-coding genes. These pairs of lncRNAs and coding genes contained the same microRNA (miRNA) target sites; the lncRNA CR933609 matched the 3'‑UTR of INO80 complex subunit D (INO80D) mRNA. The expression levels of CR933609 and INO80D were significantly decreased in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other cancer tissues. The expression levels of CR933609 and INO80D were decreased in CR933609-knockdown NSCLC cells, but only expression levels of INO80D decreased in INO80D knockdown cells. It was shown that there are independent promoters in CR933609 and INO80D. It was also found that the expression levels of INO80D were downregulated by endogenous miRNA‑5096 in A549 cells, but not in CR933609-overexpressing A549 cells. Furthermore, the lncRNA CR933609 acted as a decoy to protect INO80D from downregulation by miRNA‑5096 in NSCLC cells. A protocol was established to identify novel lncRNAs in the 3'‑UTR and the existence of novel lncRNAs was confirmed.

Abstract
Ultrasound-driven microbubbles can trigger reversible membrane perforation (sonoporation), open interendothelial junctions and stimulate endocytosis, thereby providing a temporary and reversible time-window for the delivery of macromolecules across biological membranes and endothelial barriers. This time-window is related not only to cavitation events, but also to biological regulatory mechanisms. Mechanistic understanding of the interaction between cavitation events and cells and tissues, as well as the subsequent cellular and molecular responses will lead to new design strategies with improved efficacy and minimized side effects. Recent important progress on the spatiotemporal characteristics of sonoporation, cavitation-induced interendothelial gap and endocytosis, and the spatiotemporal bioeffects and the preliminary biological mechanisms in cavitation-enhanced permeability, has been made. On the basis of the summary of this research progress, this Review outlines the underlying bioeffects and the related biological regulatory mechanisms involved in cavitation-enhanced permeability; provides a critical commentary on the future tasks and directions in this field, including developing a standardized methodology to reveal mechanism-based bioeffects in depth, and designing biology-based treatment strategies to improve efficacy and safety. Such mechanistic understanding the bioeffects that contribute to cavitation-enhanced delivery will accelerate the translation of this approach to the clinic.

Abstract
The plasma membrane of mammalian cells is susceptible to disruption by mechanical and biochemical damages that frequently occur within tissues. Therefore, efficient and rapid repair of the plasma membrane is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and survival. Excessive damage of the plasma membrane and defects in its repair are associated with pathological conditions such as infections, muscular dystrophy, heart failure, diabetes, and lung and neurodegenerative diseases. The molecular events that remodel the plasma membrane during its repair remain poorly understood. In the present work, we report the development of a quantitative high-throughput assay that monitors the efficiency of the plasma membrane repair in real time using a sensitive microplate reader. In this assay, the plasma membrane of living cells is perforated by the bacterial pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O and the integrity and recovery of the membrane are monitored at 37°C by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the membrane impermeant dye propidium iodide. We demonstrate that listeriolysin O causes dose-dependent plasma membrane wounding and activation of the cell repair machinery. This assay was successfully applied to cell types from different origins including epithelial and muscle cells. In conclusion, this high-throughput assay provides a novel opportunity for the discovery of membrane repair effectors and the development of new therapeutic compounds that could target membrane repair in various pathological processes, from degenerative to infectious diseases.

Abstract
Many cells in an organism are exposed to constant and acute mechanical stress that can induce plasma membrane injuries. These plasma membrane wounds have to be resealed rapidly to guarantee cell survival. Plasma membrane resealing in response to mechanical strain has been studied in some detail in muscle, where it is required for efficient recovery after insult. However, less is known about the capacity of other cell types and tissues to perform membrane repair and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here we show that vascular endothelial cells, which are subject to profound mechanical burden, can reseal plasma membrane holes inflicted by laser ablation. Resealing in endothelial cells is a Ca2+-dependent process, as it is inhibited when cells are wounded in Ca2+-free medium. We also show that annexin A1 (AnxA1), AnxA2 and AnxA6, Ca2+-regulated membrane binding proteins previously implicated in membrane resealing in other cell types, are rapidly recruited to the site of plasma membrane injury. S100A11, a known protein ligand of AnxA1, is also recruited to endothelial plasma membrane wounds, albeit with a different kinetic. Mutant expression experiments reveal that Ca2+ binding to AnxA2, the most abundant endothelial annexin, is required for translocation of the protein to the wound site. Furthermore, we show by knock-down and rescue experiments that AnxA2 is a positive regulator of plasma membrane resealing. Thus, vascular endothelial cells are capable of active, Ca2+-dependent plasma membrane resealing and this process requires the activity of AnxA2.

Abstract
Defect in membrane repair contributes to the development of limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy. In healthy skeletal muscle, unraveling membrane repair mechanisms requires to establish an exhaustive list of the components of the resealing machinery. Here we show that human myotubes rendered deficient for Annexin-A5 (AnxA5) suffer from a severe defect in membrane resealing. This defect is rescued by the addition of recombinant AnxA5 while an AnxA5 mutant, which is unable to form 2D protein arrays, has no effect. Using correlative light and electron microscopy, we show that AnxA5 binds to the edges of the torn membrane, as early as a few seconds after sarcolemma injury, where it probably self-assembles into 2D arrays. In addition, we observed that membrane resealing is associated with the presence of a cluster of lipid vesicles at the wounded site. AnxA5 is present at the surface of these vesicles and may thus participate in plugging the cell membrane disruption. Finally, we show that AnxA5 behaves similarly in myotubes from a muscle cell line established from a patient suffering from LGMD2B, a myopathy due to dysferlin mutations, which indicates that trafficking of AnxA5 during sarcolemma damage is independent of the presence of dysferlin.
