Cell Membrane Resealing by a Vesicular Mechanism Similar to Neurotransmitter Release

Abstract: After injury to the cell membrane, rapid resealing of the membrane occurs with little loss of intracellular contents. This process has been studied by measurement of the rate of dye loss after membrane puncture in both the sea urchin embryo and 3T3 fibroblasts. Resealing of disrupted cell membranes requires external calcium that can be antagonized by magnesium. Block of multifunctional calcium/calmodulin kinase, which regulates exocytotic vesicle availability at synapses, and of kinesin, which is required for … Show more

“…This is best demonstrated in red blood cells (40). However, most plasma membrane lesions, particularly if they are large, repair only if intracellular lipids are shuttled to the plasma membrane by an active, energy-dependent, and Ca 2ϩ -regulated process (41)(42)(43). The insertion of lipids into the plasma membrane causes a fall in plasma membrane tension, which in turn promotes "self-sealing" by lateral lipid flow (44,45).…”

“…Small disruptions on the order of micron-diameter evoke the Ca 2ϩ -dependent exocytosis of vesicles near the wound site, which is essential for successful membrane resealing (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). The recruitment of vesicles to docking sites near the disruption is dependent on the motor proteins, kinesin and myosin, and the activity of Ca 2ϩ /calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMK) 1 (2,4,9). It has been proposed that wound-induced exocytosis promotes resealing by decreasing membrane tension (10).…”

“…Membrane resealing is a conserved process by which cells are able to survive mechanical disruption of the plasma membrane (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Dysferlin-null skeletal and cardiac muscle show enhanced uptake of membrane impermeable dye following laser-induced wounding, suggesting that dysferlin may play a role in membrane resealing (3,20).…”

“…Current knowledge of membrane resealing is largely derived from studies in the sea urchin egg and fibroblast model systems, which demonstrated that fusion of intracellular vesicles with the plasma membrane is critical for resealing (15)(16)(17)21). Dysferlin localizes to the plasma membrane and intracellular vesicles in developing myotubes, and interacts with numerous proteins involved in membrane transport, including caveolin-3 (22,23), annexin-4 (5), annexin-6 (24), enlargeosomal marker AHNAK (25) and tubulin (26), but the exact contribution of dysferlincontaining vesicles to resealing following wounding remains elusive, as few studies have examined the behavior of dysferlincontaining vesicles in live cells following cellular wounding.…”
