Prkd1 regulates the formation and repair of plasma membrane disruptions (PMD) in osteocytes. Bone 2024; 186:117147. [PMID: 38866124 PMCID: PMC11246118 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
We and others have seen that osteocytes sense high-impact osteogenic mechanical loading via transient plasma membrane disruptions (PMDs) which initiate downstream mechanotransduction. However, a PMD must be repaired for the cell to survive this wounding event. Previous work suggested that the protein Prkd1 (also known as PKCμ) may be a critical component of this PMD repair process, but the specific role of Prkd1 in osteocyte mechanobiology had not yet been tested. We treated MLO-Y4 osteocytes with Prkd1 inhibitors (Go6976, kbNB 142-70, staurosporine) and generated an osteocyte-targeted (Dmp1-Cre) Prkd1 conditional knockout (CKO) mouse. PMD repair rate was measured via laser wounding and FM1-43 dye uptake, PMD formation and post-wounding survival were assessed via fluid flow shear stress (50 dyn/cm2), and in vitro osteocyte mechanotransduction was assessed via measurement of calcium signaling. To test the role of osteocyte Prkd1 in vivo, Prkd1 CKO and their wildtype (WT) littermates were subjected to 2 weeks of unilateral axial tibial loading and loading-induced changes in cortical bone mineral density, geometry, and formation were measured. Prkd1 inhibition or genetic deletion slowed osteocyte PMD repair rate and impaired post-wounding cell survival. These effects could largely be rescued by treating osteocytes with the FDA-approved synthetic copolymer Poloxamer 188 (P188), which was previously shown to facilitate membrane resealing and improve efficiency in the repair rate of PMD in skeletal muscle myocytes. In vivo, while both WT and Prkd1 CKO mice demonstrated anabolic responses to tibial loading, the magnitude of loading-induced increases in tibial BMD, cortical thickness, and periosteal mineralizing surface were blunted in Prkd1 CKO as compared to WT mice. Prkd1 CKO mice also tended to show a smaller relative difference in the number of osteocyte PMD in loaded limbs and showed greater lacunar vacancy, suggestive of impaired post-wounding osteocyte survival. While P188 treatment rescued loading-induced increases in BMD in the Prkd1 CKO mice, it surprisingly further suppressed loading-induced increases in cortical bone thickness and cortical bone formation. Taken together, these data suggest that Prkd1 may play a pivotal role in the regulation and repair of the PMD response in osteocytes and support the idea that PMD repair processes can be pharmacologically targeted to modulate downstream responses, but suggest limited utility of PMD repair-promoting P188 in improving bone anabolic responses to loading.

Abstract
The cell membrane is frequently subjected to damage, either through physical or chemical means. The swift restoration of the cell membrane's integrity is crucial to prevent the leakage of intracellular materials and the uncontrolled influx of extracellular ions. Consequently, wound repair plays a vital role in cell survival, akin to the importance of DNA repair. The mechanisms involved in wound repair encompass a series of events, including ion influx, membrane patch formation, endocytosis, exocytosis, recruitment of the actin cytoskeleton, and the elimination of damaged membrane sections. Despite the absence of a universally accepted general model, diverse molecular models have been proposed for wound repair in different organisms. Traditional wound methods not only damage the cell membrane but also impact intracellular structures, including the underlying cortical actin networks, microtubules, and organelles. In contrast, the more recent improved laserporation selectively targets the cell membrane. Studies on Dictyostelium cells utilizing this method have introduced a novel perspective on the wound repair mechanism. This review commences by detailing methods for inducing wounds and subsequently reviews recent developments in the field.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle possesses a resident, multipotent stem cell population that is essential for its repair and maintenance throughout life. Here I highlight the role of this stem cell population in muscle repair and regeneration and review the genetic control of the process; the mechanistic steps of activation, migration, recognition, adhesion, and fusion of these cells; and discuss the novel recognition of the membrane signaling that coordinates myogenic cell-cell fusion, as well as the identification of a two-part fusogen system that facilitates it.

Abstract
Mechanical loading is essential for maintaining bone health. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of ATP and ADP in the mechanotransduction of bone-resorptive osteoclasts. Single osteoclast in primary cultures from 10 to 12-wk-old mice was mechanically stimulated by a gentle touch with a micropipette. Changes in cytosolic free calcium [Ca2+]i were analyzed in Fura-2 loaded osteoclasts. The cell injury was assessed by analyzing the cellular Fura-2 loss and classified as severe or mild using k-means. Osteoclasts responded to mechanical stimuli with transient calcium elevation (primary responders) and transduced these signals to neighboring cells, which responded with delayed calcium elevations (secondary responders). Severely injured osteoclasts had higher calcium transients than mildly injured cells. Fluid shear stress similarly induced reversible cell injury in osteoclasts. Secondary responses were abolished by treatment with A-804598, a specific inhibitor of P2X7, but not suramin, a broad P2 receptor blocker. Osteoclasts responded to ATP and ADP with concentration-dependent changes in [Ca2+]i. We performed osteoclast micropipette stimulation in the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase which converted all ADP in solution to ATP, or with hexokinase converting all ATP to ADP. Osteoclasts with mild membrane injury demonstrated similar calcium responses in ATP and ADP-rich environments. However, when the mechanotransductive signal to severe osteoclast injury was converted to ADP, the fraction of secondary responders and their [Ca2+]i amplitude was higher. This study suggests the importance of osteoclast mechanobiology and the role of ADP-mediated signaling in conditions of altered mechanical loading associated with bone loss.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Osteoclasts are rarely considered as cells that participate in mechanical signaling in bone. We show that osteoclasts are capable of sensing and transmitting mechanical signals to neighboring cells. Mechanical stimulation commonly induces minor repairable membrane injury in osteoclasts. ATP and especially ADP were found to play important roles in the mechanoresponsiveness of osteoclasts. This study highlights the importance of osteoclast mechanobiology especially in conditions of altered mechanical loading associated with bone loss, such as in microgravity.

Abstract
Neuroscientists and Cell Biologists have known for many decades that eukaryotic cells, including neurons, are surrounded by a plasmalemma/axolemma consisting of a phospholipid bilayer that regulates trans-membrane diffusion of ions (including calcium) and other substances. Cells often incur plasmalemmal damage via traumatic injury and various diseases. If the damaged plasmalemma is not rapidly repaired within minutes, activation of apoptotic pathways by calcium influx often results in cell death. We review publications reporting what is less-well known (and not yet covered in neuroscience or cell biology textbooks): that calcium influx at the lesion sites ranging from small nm-sized holes to complete axonal transection activates parallel biochemical pathways that induce vesicles/membrane-bound structures to migrate and interact to restore original barrier properties and eventual reestablishment of the plasmalemma. We assess the reliability of, and problems with, various measures (e.g., membrane voltage, input resistance, current flow, tracer dyes, confocal microscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy) used individually and in combination to assess plasmalemmal sealing in various cell types (e.g., invertebrate giant axons, oocytes, hippocampal and other mammalian neurons). We identify controversies such as plug versus patch hypotheses that attempt to account for currently available data on the subcellular mechanisms of plasmalemmal repair/sealing. We describe current research gaps and potential future developments, such as much more extensive correlations of biochemical/biophysical measures with sub-cellular micromorphology. We compare and contrast naturally occurring sealing with recently-discovered artificially-induced plasmalemmal sealing by polyethylene glycol (PEG) that bypasses all natural pathways for membrane repair. We assess other recent developments such as adaptive membrane responses in neighboring cells following injury to an adjacent cell. Finally, we speculate how a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in natural and artificial plasmalemmal sealing is needed to develop better clinical treatments for muscular dystrophies, stroke and other ischemic conditions, and various cancers.

The Importance of Pore-Forming Toxins in Multiple Organ Injury and Dysfunction. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10123256.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple organ injury and dysfunction often occurs in acute critical illness and adversely affects survival. However, in patients who survive, organ function usually recovers without permanent damage. It is, therefore, likely that there are reversible mechanisms, but this is poorly understood in the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). AIMS Based on our knowledge of extracellular histones and pneumolysin, as endogenous and exogenous pore-forming toxins, respectively, here we clarify if the extent of cell membrane disruption and recovery is important in MODS. METHODS This is a combination of retrospective clinical studies of a cohort of 98 patients from an intensive care unit (ICU) in a tertiary hospital, with interventional animal models and laboratory investigation. RESULTS In patients without septic shock and/or disseminate intravascular coagulation (DIC), circulating histones also strongly correlated with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores, suggesting their pore-forming property might play an important role. In vivo, histones or pneumolysin infusion similarly caused significant elevation of cell damage markers and multiple organ injury. In trauma and sepsis models, circulating histones strongly correlated with these markers, and anti-histone reagents significantly reduced their release. Comparison of pneumolysin deletion and its parental strain-induced sepsis mouse model showed that pneumolysin was not essential for sepsis development, but enhanced multiple organ damage and reduced survival time. In vitro, histones and pneumolysin treatment disrupt cell membrane integrity, resulting in changes in whole-cell currents and elevated intracellular Ca2+ to lead to Ca2+ overload. Cell-specific damage markers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), were released from damaged cells. Once toxins were removed, cell membrane damage could be rapidly repaired and cellular function recovered. CONCLUSION This work has confirmed the importance of pore-forming toxins in the development of MODS and proposed a potential mechanism to explain the reversibility of MODS. This may form the foundation for the development of effective therapies.

Faster calcium recovery and membrane resealing in repeated sonoporation for delivery improvement. J Control Release 2022; 352:385-398.

Abstract
In sonoporation-based macromolecular delivery, repetitive microbubble cavitation in the bloodstream results in repeated sonoporation of cells or sonoporation of non-sonoporated neighboring cells (i.e., adjacent to the sonoporated host cells). The resealing and recovery capabilities of these two types of sonoporated cells affect the efficiency and biosafety of sonoporation-based delivery. Therefore, an improved understanding of the preservation of viability in these sonoporated cells is necessary. Using a customized platform for single-pulse ultrasound exposure (pulse length 13.33 μs, peak negative pressure 0.40 MPa, frequency 1.5 MHz) and real-time recording of membrane perforation and intracellular calcium fluctuations (using propidium iodide and Fluo-4 fluorescent probes, respectively), spatiotemporally controlled sonoporation was performed to administer first and second single-site sonoporations of a single cell or single-site sonoporation of a neighboring cell. Two distinct intracellular calcium changes, reversible and irreversible calcium fluctuations, were identified in cells undergoing repeat reversible sonoporation and in neighboring cells undergoing reversible sonoporation. In addition to an increased proportion of reversible calcium fluctuations that occurred with repeated sonoporation compared with that in the initial sonoporation, repeated sonoporation resulted in significantly shorter calcium fluctuation durations and faster membrane resealing than that produced by initial sonoporation. Similarly, compared with those in sonoporated host cells, the intracellular calcium fluctuation recovery and membrane perforation resealing times were significantly shorter in sonoporated neighboring cells. These results demonstrated that the function recovery and membrane resealing capabilities after a second sonoporation or sonoporation of neighboring cells were potentiated in the short term. This could aid in sustaining the long-term viability of sonoporated cells, therefore improving delivery efficiency and biosafety. This investigation provides new insight into the resealing and recovery capabilities in re-sonoporation of sonoporated cells and sonoporation of neighboring cells and can help develop safe and efficient strategies for sonoporation-based drug delivery.

Abstract
The repair of wounded cell membranes is essential for cell survival. Upon wounding, actin transiently accumulates at the wound site. The loss of actin accumulation leads to cell death. The mechanism by which actin accumulates at the wound site, the types of actin-related proteins participating in the actin remodeling, and their signaling pathways are unclear. We firstly examined how actin accumulates at a wound site in Dictyostelium cells. Actin assembled de novo at the wound site, independent of cortical flow. Next, we searched for actin- and signal-related proteins targeting the wound site. Fourteen of the examined proteins transiently accumulated at different times. Thirdly, we performed functional analyses using gene knockout mutants or specific inhibitors. Rac, WASP, formin, the Arp2/3 complex, profilin, and coronin contribute to the actin dynamics. Finally, we found that multiple signaling pathways related to TORC2, the Elmo/Doc complex, PIP2-derived products, PLA2, and calmodulin are involved in the actin dynamics for wound repair.

Abstract
Stentor coeruleus, a single-cell ciliated protozoan, is a model organism for wound healing and regeneration studies. Despite Stentor's large size (up to 2 mm in extended state), microdissection of Stentor remains challenging. In this work, we describe a hydrodynamic cell splitter, consisting of a microfluidic cross junction, capable of splitting Stentor cells in a non-contact manner at a high throughput of ∼500 cells per minute under continuous operation. Introduction of asymmetry in the flow field at the cross junction leads to asymmetric splitting of the cells to generate cell fragments as small as ∼8.5 times the original cell size. Characterization of cell fragment viability shows reduced 5-day survival as fragment size decreases and as the extent of hydrodynamic stress imposed on the fragments increases. Our results suggest that cell fragment size and composition, as well as mechanical stress, play important roles in the long-term repair of Stentor cells and warrant further investigations. Nevertheless, the hydrodynamic splitter can be useful for studying phenomena immediately after cell splitting, such as the closure of wounds in the plasma membrane which occurs on the order of 100-1000 seconds in Stentor.

Abstract
During bioprinting, cells are suspended in a viscous bioink and extruded under pressure through small diameter printing needles. The combination of high pressure and small needle diameter exposes cells to considerable shear stress, which can lead to cell damage and death. Approaches to monitor and control shear stress-induced cell damage are currently not well established. To visualize the effects of printing-induced shear stress on plasma membrane integrity, we add FM 1-43 to the bioink, a styryl dye that becomes fluorescent when bound to lipid membranes, such as the cellular plasma membrane. Upon plasma membrane disruption, the dye enters the cell and also stains intracellular membranes. Extrusion of alginate-suspended NIH/3T3 cells through a 200µm printing needle led to an increased FM 1-43 incorporation at high pressure, demonstrating that typical shear stresses during bioprinting can transiently damage the plasma membrane. Cell imaging in a microfluidic channel confirmed that FM 1-43 incorporation is caused by cell strain. Notably, high printing pressure also impaired cell survival in bioprinting experiments. Using cell types of different stiffnesses, we find that shear stress-induced cell strain, FM 1-43 incorporation and cell death were reduced in stiffer compared to softer cell types and demonstrate that cell damage and death correlate with shear stress-induced cell deformation. Importantly, supplementation of the suspension medium with physiological concentrations of CaCl2greatly reduced shear stress-induced cell damage and death but not cell deformation. As the sudden influx of calcium ions is known to induce rapid cellular vesicle exocytosis and subsequent actin polymerization in the cell cortex, we hypothesize that calcium supplementation facilitates the rapid resealing of plasma membrane damage sites. We recommend that bioinks should be routinely supplemented with physiological concentrations of calcium ions to reduce shear stress-induced cell damage and death during extrusion bioprinting.

Abstract
Bottlebrush polymers are characterized by an expansive parameter space, including graft length and spacing along the backbone, and these features impact various structural and physical properties such as molecular diffusion and bulk viscosity. In this work, we report a synthetic strategy for making grafted block polymers with poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide) side chains, bottlebrush analogues of poloxamers. Combined anionic and sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization yielded low dispersity polymers, at full conversion of the macromonomers, with control over graft length, graft end-groups, and overall molecular weight. A set of bottlebrush poloxamers (BBPs), with identical graft lengths and composition, was synthesized over a range of molecular weights. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize micelle formation in aqueous buffer. The critical micelle concentration scales exponentially with overall molecular weight for both linear and bottlebrush poloxamers; however, the bottlebrush architecture shifts micelle formation to a much higher concentration at a comparable molecular weight. Consequently, BBPs can exist in solution as unimers at significantly higher molecular weights and concentrations than the linear analogues.

Shock Waves Enhance Expression of Glycosphingolipid Tumor Antigen on Renal Cell Carcinoma: Dynamics of Physically Unmasking Hidden Intracellular Markers Independent of Gene-Signaling Pathways.

Abstract
Antigens associated with tumors have proven valuable in cancer immunotherapy. Their insufficient expression in the majority of tumors, however, limits their potential value as therapeutic markers. Aiming for a noninvasive approach applicable in clinical practice, we investigated the possibility of using focused shock waves to induce membrane expression of hidden intracellular tumor markers. Here, we studied the in vitro effect of a thousand focused shock waves at 16 MPa overpressure on the membrane expression of a cytosolic glycosphingolipid, monosialosyl-galactosyl-globoside (MSGG). Double-staining flow cytometry with propidium-iodide and monoclonal antibody RM1 revealed an immediate increase in MSGG expression on renal carcinoma cells (18% ± 0.5%) that reached its peak value (20.73% ± 0.4%) within one hour after the shock waves. The results of immunoelectron microscopy confirmed the incorporation of MSGG into newly formed cytosolic vesicles and their integration with the cell membrane. Based on the enzymatic nature of MSGG production that is not controlled directly by genes, the immediate upregulation of MSGG membrane expression implies that a chain of mechanochemical events affecting subcellular structures are responsible for the shock-wave-induced antigenic modification. Physically unmasking hidden tumor antigens and enhancing their expression by focused shock waves presents a potential noninvasive method of boosting tumor immunogenicity as a theranostic strategy in cancer immunotherapy.

F-actin dynamics following mechanical injury of Trichoderma atroviride and Neurospora crassa hyphae. Fungal Genet Biol 2022; 159:103672. [PMID: 35150841 DOI: 10.1016/j.fgb.2022.103672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
We investigated hyphae regeneration in Trichoderma atroviride and Neurospora crassa, with particular focus on determining the role of the actin cytoskeleton after mechanical injury. Filamentous actin (F-actin) dynamics were observed by live-cell confocal microscopy in both T. atroviride and N. crassa strains expressing Lifeact-GFP. In growing hyphae of both fungi, F-actin localized in three different structural forms: patches, cables and actomyosin rings. Most patches were conspicuously arranged in a collar in the hyphal subapex. A strong F-actin signal, likely actin filaments, colocalized with the core of the Spitzenkörper. Filaments and cables of F-actin we observed along the cortex throughout hyphae. Following mechanical damage at the margin of growing mycelia of T. atroviride and N. crassa, the severed hyphae lost their cytoplasmic contents, but plugging of the septal pore by a Woronin body, the rest of the hyphal tube remained whole. In both fungi, patches of F-actin began accumulating next to the plugged septum. Regeneration was attained by the emergence of a new hyphal tube as an extension of the plugged septum wall. The septum wall was gradually remodeled into the apical wall of the emerging hypha. Whereas in T. atroviride the re-initiation of polarized growth took about ∼1 h, in N. crassa, actin patch accumulation began almost immediately, and new growing hyphae were observed ∼30 min after injury. By confocal microscopy, we found that chitin synthase 1 (CHS-1), a microvesicle (chitosome) component, accumulated next to the plugged septum in regenerating hyphae of N. crassa. We concluded that the actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in hyphal regeneration by supporting membrane remodeling, helping to facilitate transport of vesicles responsible for new wall growth and organization of the new tip-growth apparatus.

Abstract
Delivery of nanomaterials into cells is of interest for fundamental cell biological research as well as for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. One way of doing so is by physically disrupting the plasma membrane (PM). Several methods that exploit electrical, mechanical or optical cues have been conceived to temporarily disrupt the PM for intracellular delivery, with variable effects on cell viability. However, apart from acute cytotoxicity, subtler effects on cell physiology may occur as well. Their nature and timing vary with the severity of the insult and the efficiency of repair, but some may provoke permanent phenotypic alterations. With the growing palette of nanoscale delivery methods and applications, comes a need for an in-depth understanding of this cellular response. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the chronology of cellular events that take place upon PM injury inflicted by different delivery methods. We also elaborate on their significance for cell homeostasis and cell fate. Based on the crucial nodes that govern cell fitness and functionality, we give directions for fine-tuning nano-delivery conditions.

Abstract
Mammalian cells employ an array of biological mechanisms to detect and respond to mechanical loading in their environment. One such mechanism is the formation of plasma membrane disruptions (PMD), which foster a molecular flux across cell membranes that promotes tissue adaptation. Repair of PMD through an orchestrated activity of molecular machinery is critical for cell survival, and the rate of PMD repair can affect downstream cellular signaling. PMD have been observed to influence the mechanical behavior of skin, alveolar, and gut epithelial cells, aortic endothelial cells, corneal keratocytes and epithelial cells, cardiac and skeletal muscle myocytes, neurons, and most recently, bone cells including osteoblasts, periodontal ligament cells, and osteocytes. PMD are therefore positioned to affect the physiological behavior of a wide range of vertebrate organ systems including skeletal and cardiac muscle, skin, eyes, the gastrointestinal tract, the vasculature, the respiratory system, and the skeleton. The purpose of this review is to describe the processes of PMD formation and repair across these mechanosensitive tissues, with a particular emphasis on comparing and contrasting repair mechanisms and downstream signaling to better understand the role of PMD in skeletal mechanobiology. The implications of PMD-related mechanisms for disease and potential therapeutic applications are also explored.

Abstract
Exposure of cells to high voltage electric pulses increases transiently membrane permeability through membrane electroporation. Electroporation can be reversible and is used in gene transfer and enhanced drug delivery but can also lead to cell death. Electroporation resulting in cell death (termed as irreversible electroporation) has been successfully used as a new non-thermal ablation method of soft tissue such as tumours or arrhythmogenic heart tissue. Even though the mechanisms of cell death can influence the outcome of electroporation-based treatments due to use of different electric pulse parameters and conditions, these are not elucidated yet. We review the mechanisms of cell death after electroporation reported in literature, cell injuries that may lead to cell death after electroporation and membrane repair mechanisms involved. The knowledge of membrane repair and cell death mechanisms after cell exposure to electric pulses, targets of electric field in cells need to be identified to optimize existing and develop of new electroporation-based techniques used in medicine, biotechnology, and food technology.

Abstract
Wound repair of cell membranes is essential for cell survival. Myosin II contributes to wound pore closure by interacting with actin filaments in larger cells; however, its role in smaller cells is unclear. In this study, we observed wound repair in dividing cells for the first time. The cell membrane in the cleavage furrow, where myosin II localized, was wounded by laserporation. Upon wounding, actin transiently accumulated, and myosin II transiently disappeared from the wound site. Ca2+ influx from the external medium triggered both actin and myosin II dynamics. Inhibition of calmodulin reduced both actin and myosin II dynamics. The wound closure time in myosin II-null cells was the same as that in wild-type cells, suggesting that myosin II is not essential for wound repair. We also found that disassembly of myosin II filaments by phosphorylation did not contribute to their disappearance, indicating a novel mechanism for myosin II delocalization from the cortex. Furthermore, we observed that several furrow-localizing proteins such as GAPA, PakA, myosin heavy chain kinase C, PTEN, and dynamin disappeared upon wounding. Herein, we discuss the possible mechanisms of myosin dynamics during wound repair.

Abstract
Background Wound healing is one of the defining features of life and is seen not only in tissues but also within individual cells. Understanding wound response at the single-cell level is critical for determining fundamental cellular functions needed for cell repair and survival. This understanding could also enable the engineering of single-cell wound repair strategies in emerging synthetic cell research. One approach is to examine and adapt self-repair mechanisms from a living system that already demonstrates robust capacity to heal from large wounds. Towards this end, Stentor coeruleus, a single-celled free-living ciliate protozoan, is a unique model because of its robust wound healing capacity. This capacity allows one to perturb the wounding conditions and measure their effect on the repair process without immediately causing cell death, thereby providing a robust platform for probing the self-repair mechanism. Results Here we used a microfluidic guillotine and a fluorescence-based assay to probe the timescales of wound repair and of mechanical modes of wound response in Stentor. We found that Stentor requires ~ 100–1000 s to close bisection wounds, depending on the severity of the wound. This corresponds to a healing rate of ~ 8–80 μm2/s, faster than most other single cells reported in the literature. Further, we characterized three distinct mechanical modes of wound response in Stentor: contraction, cytoplasm retrieval, and twisting/pulling. Using chemical perturbations, active cilia were found to be important for only the twisting/pulling mode. Contraction of myonemes, a major contractile fiber in Stentor, was surprisingly not important for the contraction mode and was of low importance for the others. Conclusions While events local to the wound site have been the focus of many single-cell wound repair studies, our results suggest that large-scale mechanical behaviors may be of greater importance to single-cell wound repair than previously thought. The work here advances our understanding of the wound response in Stentor and will lay the foundation for further investigations into the underlying components and molecular mechanisms involved.

Abstract
The plasma membrane performs a central role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and viability by acting as a semi-permeable barrier separating the cell from its surroundings. Under physiological conditions, it is constantly exposed to different kinds of stress, such as from pore-forming proteins/toxins and mechanical activity, that compromises its integrity resulting in cells developing various ways to cope with these dangers to survive. These plasma membrane repair mechanisms are initiated by the rapid influx of extracellular Ca2+ ions and are thus hinged on the activity of various Ca2+-binding proteins. The cell's response to membrane damage also depends on the nature and extent of the stimuli as well as the cell type, and the mechanisms involved are believed to be not mutually exclusive. In regulated necrotic cell death, specifically necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, plasma membrane damage ultimately causes cell lysis and the release of immunomodulating damage-associated molecular patterns. Here, I will discuss how these three cell death pathways are counterbalanced by the action of ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport)-III-dependent plasma membrane repair mechanism, that eventually affects the profile of released cytokines and cell-to-cell communication. These highlight a crucial role that plasma membrane repair play in regulated necrosis, and its potential as a viable target to modulate the immune responses associated with these pathways in the context of the various human pathologies where these cell death modalities are implicated.

Abstract
We report here the first evidence for the interaction of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with hyaluronan (HA) in aqueous solutions. PEG-HA complexes (Kapp = 45,000 ± 8000 M-1) contained about 3.3 ± 0.1 of ethylene glycol units per disaccharide of HA. The carboxyl of the D-glucuronic acid and the amide of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine did not participate in PEG binding. Similar experiments performed with dextran and monosaccharides showed that multiple free primary hydroxyls regularly distributed along the polysaccharide chain are necessary for PEG binding. Another novelty of our study is contraction of HA upon PEG binding. The effect was observed with HA in solution or adsorbed on positively charged liposomes. The thickness of the HA layer on the liposomes decreased 2-fold upon PEG addition. HA compaction induced by PEG may underlie the changes in the plasma membrane properties and resealing of mechanical injuries induced by Pluronics.

Abstract
Background In cell biology, increasing focus has been directed to fast events at subcellular space with the advent of fluorescent probes. As an example, voltage sensitive dyes (VSD) have been used to measure membrane potentials. Yet, even the most recently developed genetically encoded voltage sensors have demanded exhausting signal averaging through repeated experiments to quantify action potentials (AP). This analysis may be further hampered in subcellular signals defined by small regions of interest (ROI), where signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) may fall substantially. Signal processing techniques like blind source separation (BSS) are designed to separate a multichannel mixture of signals into uncorrelated or independent sources, whose potential to separate ROI signal from noise has been poorly explored. Our aims are to develop a method capable of retrieving subcellular events with minimal a priori information from noisy cell fluorescence images and to provide it as a computational tool to be readily employed by the scientific community. Results In this paper, we have developed METROID (Morphological Extraction of Transmembrane potential from Regions Of Interest Device), a new computational tool to filter fluorescence signals from multiple ROIs, whose code and graphical interface are freely available. In this tool, we developed a new ROI definition procedure to automatically generate similar-area ROIs that follow cell shape. In addition, simulations and real data analysis were performed to recover AP and electroporation signals contaminated by noise by means of four types of BSS: Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and two versions with discrete wavelet transform (DWT). All these strategies allowed for signal extraction at low SNR (− 10 dB) without apparent signal distortion. Conclusions We demonstrate the great capability of our method to filter subcellular signals from noisy fluorescence images in a single trial, avoiding repeated experiments. We provide this novel biomedical application with a graphical user interface at 10.6084/m9.figshare.11344046.v1, and its code and datasets are available in GitHub at https://github.com/zoccoler/metroid.

Abstract
Tissue and cellular stiffening is associated with pathologies including fibrosis and cancer. Healthy cells also exhibit a wide range of membrane cortical tensions, which have been studied in the field of mechanobiology. Here, we quantify the mechanosensitivity of the lysis agent the di-rhamnolipid (RHA), which is a bacterially produced biosurfactant. RHA exhibited selective lysis correlated strongly with cortical membrane tension in osteoblasts, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and erythrocytes. Reducing cortical membrane tension by cytoskeleton inhibitors (cytochalasin D and nocodazole) or osmotic regulators (sucrose, polyethylene glycol, and nonionic surfactants) attenuated the RHA toxicity. The selective toxicity of RHA toward human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells over healthy blood cells suggests a potential therapy for blood cancer. Targeted killing of myofibroblasts transformed from either fibroblasts or epithelial cells indicates its antifibrotic effect. Combined, these studies showed the potential for specific targeting of cells with differential mechanical properties rather than chemical or biological pathways.

Abstract
Intracellular pathogens depend on specific mechanisms to be able to gain entry and survive into their host cells. For this, they subvert pathways involved in physiological cellular processes. Here we are going to focus on how two protozoan parasites, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania sp, which may cause severe diseases in humans, use plasma membrane repair (PMR) mechanisms to gain entry in host intracellular environment. T. cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a disease originally endemic of central and South America, but that has become widespread around the globe. T. cruzi is able to invade any nucleated cell, but muscle cells are usually the main targets during chronic disease. During host cell contact, the parasite interacts with proteins at the host cell surface and may cause damage to their membrane, which has been shown to be responsible for inducing intracellular calcium increase and PMR-related events that culminate with parasite internalization. The same was recently observed for Leishmania sp, when infecting nonprofessional phagocytic cells, such as fibroblasts. Other pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria may also use PMR-related events for invasion and vacuole escape/maturation. In some cases, PMR may also be responsible to modulate pathogen intracellular development. These other PMR roles in pathogen infections will also be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Plasma membrane disruption occurs frequently in many animal tissues. Cell membrane disruption induces not only a rapid and massive influx of Ca2+ into the cytosol but also an efflux or release of various signaling molecules, such as ATP, from the cytosol; in turn, these signaling molecules stimulate a variety of pathways in both wounded and non-wounded neighboring cells. These signals first trigger cell membrane repair responses in the wounded cell but then induce an adaptive response, which results in faster membrane repair in the event of future wounds in both wounded and non-wounded neighboring cells. In addition, signaling pathways stimulated by membrane disruption induce other adaptive responses, including cell survival, regeneration, migration, and proliferation. This chapter summarizes the role of intra- and intercellular signaling pathways in adaptive responses triggered by cell membrane disruption.

Abstract
The skeleton constantly interacts and adapts to the physical world. We have previously reported that physiologically relevant mechanical forces lead to small repairable membrane injuries in bone-forming osteoblasts, resulting in release of ATP and stimulation of purinergic (P2) calcium responses in neighboring cells. The goal of this study was to develop a theoretical model describing injury-related ATP and ADP release, their extracellular diffusion and degradation, and purinergic responses in neighboring cells. After validation using experimental data for intracellular free calcium elevations, ATP, and vesicular release after mechanical stimulation of a single osteoblast, the model was scaled to a tissue-level injury to investigate how purinergic signaling communicates information about injuries with varying geometries. We found that total ATP released, peak extracellular ATP concentration, and the ADP-mediated signaling component contributed complementary information regarding the mechanical stimulation event. The total amount of ATP released governed spatial factors, such as the maximal distance from the injury at which purinergic responses were stimulated. The peak ATP concentration reflected the severity of an individual cell injury, allowing to discriminate between minor and severe injuries that released similar amounts of ATP because of differences in injury repair, and determined temporal aspects of the response, such as signal propagation velocity. ADP-mediated signaling became relevant only in larger tissue-level injuries, conveying information about the distance to the injury site and its geometry. Thus, we identified specific features of extracellular ATP and ADP spatiotemporal signals that depend on tissue mechanoresilience and encode the severity, scope, and proximity of the mechanical stimulus.

Abstract
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are key virulence determinants produced and secreted by a variety of human bacterial pathogens. They disrupt the plasma membrane (PM) by generating stable protein pores, which allow uncontrolled exchanges between the extracellular and intracellular milieus, dramatically disturbing cellular homeostasis. In recent years, many advances were made regarding the characterization of conserved repair mechanisms that allow eukaryotic cells to recover from mechanical disruption of the PM membrane. However, the specificities of the cell recovery pathways that protect host cells against PFT-induced damage remain remarkably elusive. During bacterial infections, the coordinated action of such cell recovery processes defines the outcome of infected cells and is, thus, critical for our understanding of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we review the cellular pathways reported to be involved in the response to bacterial PFTs and discuss their impact in single-cell recovery and infection.

Abstract
Disruption and repair of plasma membranes is normally observed in many animal tissues. Recent studies demonstrated that wounding of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells potentiates membrane repair in cells adjacent to wounded cells via paracrine purinergic signaling. The present study demonstrated that cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling in a wounded cell was induced by autocrine purinergic signaling, and protein kinase A potentiates membrane resealing for repeated wounds in those cells. Furthermore, the present study revealed that an increase in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration upon cell membrane disruption was not only due to Ca2+ influx through the wound site, but also because of autocrine purinergic signaling. Although the influx of extracellular Ca2+ is essential for membrane resealing, the present study suggested that an increase in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration induced by autocrine signaling accelerates membrane resealing of the initial cell membrane disruption.

Abstract
Bone cells sense and actively adapt to physical perturbations to prevent critical damage. ATP release is among the earliest cellular responses to mechanical stimulation. Mechanical stimulation of a single murine osteoblast led to the release of 70 ± 24 amole ATP, which stimulated calcium responses in neighboring cells. Osteoblasts contained ATP-rich vesicles that were released upon mechanical stimulation. Surprisingly, interventions that promoted vesicular release reduced ATP release, while inhibitors of vesicular release potentiated ATP release. Searching for an alternative ATP release route, we found that mechanical stresses induced reversible cell membrane injury in vitro and in vivo. Ca2+/PLC/PKC-dependent vesicular exocytosis facilitated membrane repair, thereby minimizing cell injury and reducing ATP release. Priming cellular repair machinery prior to mechanical stimulation reduced subsequent membrane injury and ATP release, linking cellular mechanosensitivity to prior mechanical exposure. Thus, our findings position ATP release as an integrated readout of membrane injury and repair. Athletes' skeletons get stronger with training, while bones weaken in people who cannot move or in astronauts experiencing weightlessness. This is because bone cells thrive when exposed to forces. When a bone cell is exposed to a physical force, the first thing that happens is the release of the energy-rich molecule called ATP into the space outside the cell. This molecule then binds to the neighboring cell to unleash a cascade of responses. ATP can exit the cell either through special canals in the cell membrane or released in tiny pod-like structures called vesicles. It is known that strong forces can injure the cell membrane and cause ATP to spill out. However, it is less clear how ATP is released when cells are subjected to regular forces. Mikolajewicz et al. investigated whether ATP exits through injured membranes of cells experiencing regular forces. Bone cells grown in the laboratory were gently poked with a glass needle or placed in a turbulent fluid to simulate forces experienced in the body. Dyes and fluorescent imaging techniques were used to observe the movement of vesicles and calculate the concentration of ATP in these cells. The experiments showed that regular forces in the body do indeed injure the cell membranes and cause ATP to spill out. But importantly, the cells repaired the injuries quickly by releasing vesicles that patch the wound. As soon as the membrane is sealed, ATP stops coming out. From the first injury, cells adapted and quickly strengthened their membrane and repair system to be more resilient against future forces. This process was also seen in the shin bones of mice. These results are important because knowing how bone cells sense, respond and convert physical forces can help us develop treatments for astronauts, the injured and aged.

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
Disruption of plasma membranes is a widespread, common and normal event that occurs in many mechanically challenged tissues (McNeil & Steinhardt, 1997). After injury to the plasma membrane, rapid resealing of the membrane occurs with little loss of intracellular contents.Analysis of plasma membrane repair in the sea urchin egg and early embryos revealed a new model of the mechanism for plasma membrane repair. Resealing of disrupted plasma membranes required external Ca2+ that could be antagonised by Mg2+. Block of Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II, which regulates exocytotic vesicle availability at synapses (Llinás et al., 1991), inhibited membrane resealing. Resealing was also inhibited by botulinum neurotoxins A, B, C1, and tetanus toxin, which disrupt SNARE vesicle docking/fusion proteins. Confocal microscopic observations of exocytotic events in sea urchin eggs and embryos during membrane resealing showed that inhibition of kinesin or myosin motor activity, which are believed to be required for vesicle transport (Goodson et al., 1997), also inhibited membrane resealing and delivery of vesicles to sites of membrane disruption. This pattern of inhibition indicates that membrane repair of micrometre-sized lesions requires vesicle delivery, docking and fusion, similar to the exocytosis of neurotransmitter (Steinhardt et al., 1994; Bi et al., 1995, 1997).The mechanism of resealing in eggs and embyros was found to be a general property of all cells (Steinhardt et al., 1994; Togo et al., 1999). It is now known that elevated intracellular Ca2+ triggers exocytosis in various types of cells (Dan & Poo, 1992; Coorssen et al., 1996), and that endosomal compartments such as lysosomes can behave as Ca2+-regulated exocytotic vesicles (Rodríguez et al., 1997).

Abstract
Multidirectional defibrillation protocols have shown better efficiency than monodirectional; still, no testing was performed to assess cell lethality. We investigated lethality of multidirectional defibrillator-like shocks on isolated cardiomyocytes. Cells were isolated from adult male Wistar rats and plated into a perfusion chamber. Electrical field stimulation threshold (ET) was obtained, and cells were paced with suprathreshold bipolar electrical field (E) pulses. Either one monodirectional high-intensity electrical field (HEF) pulse aligned at 0° (group Mono0) or 60° (group Mono60) to cell major axis or a multidirectional sequence of three HEF pulses aligned at 0°, 60°, and 120° each was applied. If cell recovered from shock, pacing was resumed, and a higher amplitude HEF, proportional to ET, was applied. The sequence was repeated until cell death. Lethality curves were built by means of survival analysis from sub-lethal and lethal E. Non-linear fit was performed, and E values corresponding to 50% probability of lethality (E50) were compared. Multidirectional groups presented lethality curves similar to Mono0. Mono60 displayed the highest E50. The novel data endorse the idea of multidirectional stimuli being safer because their effects on lethality of individual cells were equal to a single monodirectional stimulus, while their defibrillatory threshold is lower.

Abstract
We examined the mechanism of cell membrane repair in Dictyostelium cells by using a novel laser-based cell poration method. The dynamics of wound pores opening and closing were characterized by live imaging of fluorescent cell membrane proteins, influx of fluorescent dye, and Ca2+ imaging. The wound closed within 2-4 sec, depending on the wound size. Cells could tolerate a wound size of less than 2.0 µm. In the absence of Ca2+ in the external medium, the wound pore did not close and cells ruptured. The release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores also contributed to the elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ but not to wound repair. Annexin C1 immediately accumulated at the wound site depending on the external Ca2+ concentration, and annexin C1 knockout cells had a defect in wound repair, but it was not essential. Dictyostelium cells were able to respond to multiple repeated wounds with the same time courses, in contrast to previous reports showing that the first wound accelerates the second wound repair in fibroblasts.

Abstract
Many organisms and tissues display the ability to heal and regenerate as needed for normal physiology and as a result of pathogenesis. However, these repair activities can also be observed at the single-cell level. The physical and molecular mechanisms by which a cell can heal membrane ruptures and rebuild damaged or missing cellular structures remain poorly understood. This Review presents current understanding in wound healing and regeneration as two distinct aspects of cellular self-repair by examining a few model organisms that have displayed robust repair capacity, including Xenopus oocytes, Chlamydomonas, and Stentor coeruleus Although many open questions remain, elucidating how cells repair themselves is important for our mechanistic understanding of cell biology. It also holds the potential for new applications and therapeutic approaches for treating human disease.

Abstract
Disruption of cellular plasma membranes is a common event in many animal tissues, and the membranes are usually rapidly resealed. Moreover, repeated membrane disruptions within a single cell reseal faster than the initial wound in a protein kinase A (PKA)- and protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent manner. In addition to wounded cells, recent studies have demonstrated that wounding of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells potentiates membrane resealing in neighboring cells in the short-term by purinergic signaling, and in the long-term by nitric oxide/protein kinase G signaling. In the present study, real-time imaging showed that cell membrane disruption stimulated cAMP synthesis and Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores by purinergic signaling in neighboring MDCK cells. Furthermore, inhibition of PKA and PKC suppressed the ATP-mediated short-term potentiation of membrane resealing in neighboring cells. These results suggest that cell membrane disruption stimulates PKA and PKC via purinergic signaling to potentiate cell membrane resealing in neighboring MDCK cells.

Abstract
The role of Golgi apparatus during phagocytic uptake by macrophages has been ruled out in the past. Notably, all such reports were limited to Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis. Here, we unravel a highly devolved mechanism for recruitment of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles during phagosome biogenesis, which was important for uptake of most cargos, except the IgG-coated ones. We report recruitment of mannosidase-II-positive Golgi-derived vesicles during uptake of diverse targets, including latex beads, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human and mouse macrophages. The recruitment of mannosidase-II vesicles was an early event mediated by focal exocytosis and coincided with the recruitment of transferrin receptor, VAMP3, and dynamin-2. Brefeldin A treatment inhibited mannosidase-II recruitment and phagocytic uptake of serum-coated or -uncoated latex beads and E. coli However, consistent with previous studies, brefeldin A treatment did not affect uptake of IgG-coated latex beads. Mechanistically, recruitment of mannosidase-II vesicles during phagocytic uptake required Ca2+ from both extra- and intracellular sources apart from PI3K, microtubules, and dynamin-2. Extracellular Ca2+ via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels established a Ca2+-dependent local phosphatidylinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate gradient, which guides the focal movement of Golgi-derived vesicles to the site of uptake. We confirmed Golgi-derived vesicles recruited during phagocytosis were secretory vesicles as their recruitment was sensitive to depletion of VAMP2 or NCS1, whereas recruitment of the recycling endosome marker VAMP3 was unaffected. Depletion of both VAMP2 and NCS1 individually resulted in the reduced uptake by macrophages. Together, the study provides a previously unprecedented role of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles in phagocytic uptake, the key innate defense function.

Abstract
The delayed seed germination and poor seedling growth caused by imbibitional chilling injury was common phenomenon in maize seedling establishment. In this study, RNA sequencing technology was used to comprehensively investigate the gene expressions in chilling-imbibed maize embryo and to reveal the underlying mechanism of chilling injury at molecular level. Imbibed seeds for 2 h at 5°C (LT2) were selected and transcriptomic comparative analysis was performed. Among 327 DEGs indentified between dry seed (CK0) and LT2, 15 specific genes with plasma membrane (PM) relevant functions belonging to lipid metabolism, stress, signaling and transport were characterized, and most of them showed down-regulation pattern under chilling stress. When transferred to 25°C for recovery (LT3), remarkable changes occurred in maize embryo. There were 873 DEGs including many PM related genes being identified between LT2 and LT3, some of which showing significant increase after 1 h recovery. Moreover, 15 genes encoding intracellular vesicular trafficking proteins were found to be exclusively differential expressed at recovery stage. It suggested that the intracellular vesicle trafficking might be essential for PM recovery through PM turnover. Furthermore, transcriptome analyses on imbibed embryos under normal condition (25°C) were also made as a contrast. A total of 651 DEGs were identified to mainly involved in protein metabolism, transcriptional regulation, signaling, and energy productions. Overall, the RNA-Seq results provided us a deep knowledge of imbibitional chilling injury on plasma membrane and a new view on PM repaired mechanism during early seed imbibition at transcriptional level. The DEGs identified in this work would be useful references in future seed germination research.

Abstract
The characterization of the membrane repair machinery in human skeletal muscle has become crucial, since it has been shown that some muscular dystrophies result from a defect of this fundamental physiological process. Deciphering membrane repair mechanism requires the development of methodologies allowing studying the response of skeletal muscle cells to sarcolemma damage and identifying candidate proteins playing a role in the membrane repair machinery. Here, we describe a protocol that is based on the creation of cell membrane disruption by infrared laser irradiation in human myotubes. Membrane disruption and repair are assayed by monitoring the incorporation into myotubes of the membrane probe FM1-43. This methodology has recently enabled us to show that Annexin-A5 is required for membrane repair in human skeletal muscle cells (Carmeille et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1863:2267-2279, 2016).

Abstract
Pathological myofibroblasts are often involved in skin scarring via generating contractile force and over-expressing collagen fibers, but no compound has been found to inhibit the myofibroblasts without showing severe toxicity to surrounding physiological cells. Here we report that di-rhamnolipid, a biosurfactant secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showed potent effects on scar therapy via a unique mechanism of targeted killing the myofibroblasts. In cell culture, the fibroblasts-derived myofibroblasts were more sensitive to di-rhamnolipid toxicity than fibroblasts at a concentration-dependent manner, and could be completely inhibited of their specific functions including α-SMA expression and collagen secretion/contraction. The anti-fibrotic function of di-rhamnolipid was further verified in rabbit ear hypertrophic scar models by presenting the significant reduction of scar elevation index, type I collagen fibers and α-SMA expression. In this regard, di-rhamnolipid treatment could be suggested as a therapy against skin scarring.

Abstract
Abstract
Disruption of the plasma membrane poses deadly threat to eukaryotic cells and survival requires a rapid membrane repair system. Recent evidence reveal various plasma membrane repair mechanisms, which are required for cells to cope with membrane lesions including membrane fusion and replacement strategies, remodeling of cortical actin cytoskeleton and vesicle wound patching. Members of the annexin protein family, which are Ca2+-triggered phospholipid-binding proteins emerge as important components of the plasma membrane repair system. Here, we discuss the mechanisms of plasma membrane repair involving annexins spanning from yeast to human cancer cells.

Abstract
RATIONALE Catecholamines increase cardiac contractility, but exposure to high concentrations or prolonged exposures can cause cardiac injury. A recent study demonstrated that a single subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO; 200 mg/kg) in mice causes acute myocyte death (8%-10%) with complete cardiac repair within a month. Cardiac regeneration was via endogenous cKit(+) cardiac stem cell-mediated new myocyte formation. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to validate this simple injury/regeneration system and use it to study the biology of newly forming adult cardiac myocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL/6 mice (n=173) were treated with single injections of vehicle, 200 or 300 mg/kg ISO, or 2 daily doses of 200 mg/kg ISO for 6 days. Echocardiography revealed transiently increased systolic function and unaltered diastolic function 1 day after single ISO injection. Single ISO injections also caused membrane injury in ≈10% of myocytes, but few of these myocytes appeared to be necrotic. Circulating troponin I levels after ISO were elevated, further documenting myocyte damage. However, myocyte apoptosis was not increased after ISO injury. Heart weight to body weight ratio and fibrosis were also not altered 28 days after ISO injection. Single- or multiple-dose ISO injury was not associated with an increase in the percentage of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine-labeled myocytes. Furthermore, ISO injections did not increase new myocytes in cKit(+/Cre)×R-GFP transgenic mice. CONCLUSIONS A single dose of ISO causes injury in ≈10% of the cardiomyocytes. However, most of these myocytes seem to recover and do not elicit cKit(+) cardiac stem cell-derived myocyte regeneration.

Cell Electrosensitization Exists Only in Certain Electroporation Buffers. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0159434.

Abstract
Electroporation-induced cell sensitization was described as the occurrence of a delayed hypersensitivity to electric pulses caused by pretreating cells with electric pulses. It was achieved by increasing the duration of the electroporation treatment at the same cumulative energy input. It could be exploited in electroporation-based treatments such as electrochemotherapy and tissue ablation with irreversible electroporation. The mechanisms responsible for cell sensitization, however, have not yet been identified. We investigated cell sensitization dynamics in five different electroporation buffers. We split a pulse train into two trains varying the delay between them and measured the propidium uptake by fluorescence microscopy. By fitting the first-order model to the experimental results, we determined the uptake due to each train (i.e. the first and the second) and the corresponding resealing constant. Cell sensitization was observed in the growth medium but not in other tested buffers. The effect of pulse repetition frequency, cell size change, cytoskeleton disruption and calcium influx do not adequately explain cell sensitization. Based on our results, we can conclude that cell sensitization is a sum of several processes and is buffer dependent. Further research is needed to determine its generality and to identify underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Repair of wounds to single cells involves dynamic membrane and cytoskeletal rearrangements necessary to seal the wound and repair the underlying cytoskeleton cortex. One group of proteins essential to the cortical remodeling is the Rho family of small GTPases. Recently we showed that the founding members of this GTPases family, Rho, Rac, and Cdc42, are all essential for normal single cell wound repair and accumulate at the wound periphery in distinct temporal/spatial patterns in the Drosophila cell wound model. In addition, these proteins communicate with one another and with the cytoskeleton to regulate their distribution in response to wounds. Unexpectedly, we found evidence for context specific Rho GTPase binding to downstream targets or “effectors” which cannot be explained solely by means of local GTPase activation. Here we discuss these observations in relation to similar studies in single cell wound repair in the Xenopus oocyte, and highlight how these cell wound models serve as powerful tools to understand both cell wound repair and Rho GTPase biology.

Abstract
Cell repair is attracting increasing attention due to its conservation, its importance to health, and its utility as a model for cell signaling and cell polarization. However, some of the most fundamental questions concerning cell repair have yet to be answered. Here we consider three such questions: (1) How are wound holes stopped? (2) How is cell regeneration achieved after wounding? (3) How is calcium inrush linked to wound stoppage and cell regeneration?

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells have been confronted throughout their evolution with potentially lethal plasma membrane injuries, including those caused by osmotic stress, by infection from bacterial toxins and parasites, and by mechanical and ischemic stress. The wounded cell can survive if a rapid repair response is mounted that restores boundary integrity. Calcium has been identified as the key trigger to activate an effective membrane repair response that utilizes exocytosis and endocytosis to repair a membrane tear, or remove a membrane pore. We here review what is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of membrane repair, with particular emphasis on the relevance of repair as it relates to disease pathologies. Collective evidence reveals membrane repair employs primitive yet robust molecular machinery, such as vesicle fusion and contractile rings, processes evolutionarily honed for simplicity and success. Yet to be fully understood is whether core membrane repair machinery exists in all cells, or whether evolutionary adaptation has resulted in multiple compensatory repair pathways that specialize in different tissues and cells within our body.

Abstract
Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and progressive airway remodeling. The airway epithelium is known to play a critical role in the initiation and perpetuation of these processes. Here, we review how excessive epithelial stress generated by bronchoconstriction is sufficient to induce airway remodeling, even in the absence of inflammatory cells.

Short-term potentiation of membrane resealing in neighboring cells is mediated by purinergic signaling. Purinergic Signal 2015; 10:283-90. [PMID: 24122144 DOI: 10.1007/s11302-013-9387-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2013] [Accepted: 08/23/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Resealing of a disrupted plasma membrane in the micron-size range requires Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. When cells are wounded twice, the second membrane disruption reseals more quickly than the initial wound. This response is protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent and protein kinase A dependent in the early stages. In the long term (24 h), potentiation of membrane resealing in a wounded cell depends on gene expression mediated by a transcription factor, cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein(CREB), which is activated by a PKC-dependent and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent pathway. In addition,a recent study demonstrated that wounding of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells potentiates membrane resealing in neighboring cells by activating CREB-dependent gene expression through nitric oxide (NO) signaling. The present study demonstrated that wounding of MDCK cells induces short-term potentiation of membrane resealing in neighboring cells in addition to a long-term response. Inhibition of purinergic signaling suppressed short-term potentiation of membrane resealing in neighboring cells, but not long-term potentiation. By contrast, inhibition of NO signaling did not suppress the short-term response in neighboring cells. These results suggest that cell membrane disruption stimulates at least two intercellular signaling pathways, NO and purinergic signaling, to potentiate cell membrane resealing in neighboring cells.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does the use of a new cryoprotectant agent (CPA) exchange protocol designed to minimize osmotic stress improve oocyte or zygote vitrification by reducing sublethal cryodamage? SUMMARY ANSWER The use of a new CPA exchange protocol made possible by automated microfluidics improved oocyte and zygote vitrification with superior morphology as indicated by a smoother cell surface, higher sphericity, higher cytoplasmic lipid retention, less cytoplasmic leakage and higher developmental competence compared with conventional methods. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The use of more 'steps' of CPA exposure during the vitrification protocol increases cryosurvival and development in the bovine model. However, such an attempt to eliminate osmotic stress is limited by the practicality of performing numerous precise pipetting steps in a short amount of time. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Murine meiotically competent germinal vesicle intact oocytes and zygotes were harvested from the antral follicles in ovaries and ampulla, respectively. Bovine ovaries were obtained from a local abattoir at random stages of the estrous cycle. A total of 110 murine oocytes, 802 murine zygotes and 52 bovine oocytes were used in this study. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Microfluidic devices were fabricated using conventional photo- and soft-lithography. CPAs used were 7.5% ethylene glycol (EG) and 7.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for equilibration solution and 15% EG, 15% DMSO and 0.5 M sucrose for vitrification solution. End-point analyses include mathematical modeling using Kedem-Katchalsky equations, morphometrics assessed by conventional and confocal microscopy, cytoplasmic lipid quantification by nile red staining, cytoplasmic leakage quantification by fluorescent dextran intercalation and developmental competence analysis by 96 h embryo culture and blastomere quantification. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE The automated microfluidics protocol decreased the shrinkage rate of the oocyte and zygote by 13.8 times over its manual pipetting alternative. Oocytes and zygotes with a lower shrinkage rate during CPA exposure experienced less osmotic stress resulting in better morphology, higher cell quality and improved developmental competence. This microfluidic procedure resulted in murine zygotes with a significantly smoother cell surface (P < 0.001), more spherical cellular morphology (P < 0.001), increased cytoplasmic lipid retention in vitrified and warmed bovine oocytes (P < 0.01), decreased membrane perforations and cytoplasmic leakage in CPA-exposed murine zygotes (P < 0.05) and improved developmental competence of vitrified and warmed murine zygotes (P < 0.05) than CPA exposure using the current clinically used manual pipetting method. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION It is necessary to design the microfluidic device to be more user-friendly for widespread use. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The theory and approach of eliminating osmotic stress by decreasing shrinkage rate is complementary to the prevalent osmotic stress theory in cryobiology which focuses on a minimum cell volume at which the cells shrink. The auto-microfluidic protocol described here has immediate applications for improving animal and human oocyte, zygote and embryo cryopreservation. On a fundamental level, the clear demonstration that at the same minimum cell volume, cell shrinkage rate affects sublethal damage should be broadly useful for cryobiology.
