Plasma Membrane Damage

AbstractPlasma membrane damage (PMD) occurs in all cell types due to environmental perturbation and cell-autonomous activities. However, cellular outcomes of PMD remain largely unknown except for recovery or death. Here, using yeast and human fibroblasts, we show that cellular senescence, irreversible cell cycle arrest contributing to organismal aging, is the third outcome of PMD. To identify the genes essential for PMD response, we performed a systematic yeast genome-wide screen. The screen identified 48 genes. The top hits in the screen are the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) genes. Strikingly, the replicative lifespan regulator genes are enriched in our 48 hits, and indeed, PMD limits the replicative lifespan in budding yeast; the ESCRT activator AAA-ATPase VPS4-overexpression extends it. In normal human fibroblasts, PMD induces cellular senescence via p53. Our study demonstrates that PMD limits replicative lifespan in two different eukaryotic cell types and highlights an underappreciated but ubiquitous senescent cell subtype, namely PMD-dependent senescent cells.

Membrane Shedding

AbstractRepairing plasma membrane damage is vital to eukaryotic cell survival. Membrane shedding is thought to be key to this repair process, but a detailed view of how the process occurs is still missing. Here we used electron cryotomography to image the ultrastructural details of plasma membrane wound healing. We found that filopodia-like protrusions are built at damage sites, accompanied by retraction of neighboring filopodia, and that these repurposed protrusions act as scaffolds for membrane shedding. This suggests a new role for filopodia as reservoirs of membrane and actin for plasma membrane damage repair. Damage-induced shedding was dependent on F-actin dynamics and Myo1a, as well as Vps4B, an important component of the ESCRT machinery. Thus we find that damage shedding is more complex than current models of simple vesiculation from flat membrane domains. Rather, we observe structural similarities between damage-mediated shedding and constitutive shedding from enterocytes that argue for conservation of a general membrane shedding mechanism.

Chromium Acetate

The role of biomembranes in the chronic toxicity of environmentally occurring chromium acetate hydroxide was investigated by using primary human fibroblasts. Transport of chromium acetate hydroxide across the plasma membrane of the cell, and the effects of chromium (III) ions on the plasma membrane as well as other intracellular membranes, were determined during six weeks of continuous exposure by using atomic absorption spectrometry, observation of cell morphology, membrane integrity assays (for lactate dehydrogenase leakage and lysosomal membrane disruption), and mitochondrial assays (for mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity and mitochondrial transmembrane potential analysis). The type of cell death induced by long-term exposure was determined in terms of phosphatidylserine externalisation, caspase-3 activation, and chromatin fragmentation. Chromium acetate hydroxide, at a concentration of 100μmol/l, accumulated in exposed cells, inflicting plasma membrane damage and suppressing mitochondrial function. Antioxidant co-enzyme Q, at a concentration of 10μmol/l, partially prevented plasma membrane damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Exposure to chromium acetate hydroxide produced apoptosis, necrosis and an intermediate type of cell death in primary human fibroblasts. These results show that the plasma membrane and mitochondrial membrane are important targets for chronic chromium acetate hydroxide toxicity, and that this in vitro system holds promise for studying the toxicity resulting from long-term exposure to metal ions.

Cryo–electron tomography (cryo-ET) provides structural context to molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. Although straightforward to implement for studying stable macromolecular complexes, using it to locate short-lived structures and events can be impractical. A combination of live-cell microscopy, correlative light and electron microscopy, and cryo-ET will alleviate this issue. We developed a workflow combining the three to study the ubiquitous and dynamic process of shedding in response to plasma membrane damage in HeLa cells. We found filopodia-like protrusions enriched at damage sites and acting as scaffolds for shedding, which involves F-actin dynamics, myosin-1a, and vacuolar protein sorting 4B (a component of the ‘endosomal sorting complex required for transport’ machinery). Overall, shedding is more complex than current models of vesiculation from flat membranes. Its similarities to constitutive shedding in enterocytes argue for a conserved mechanism. Our workflow can also be adapted to study other damage response pathways and dynamic cellular events.

AbstractPlasma membrane integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis. In vivo, cells experience plasma membrane damage from a multitude of stressors in the extra- and intra-cellular environment. To avoid lethal consequences, cells are equipped with repair pathways to restore membrane integrity. Here, we assess plasma membrane damage and repair from a whole-body perspective. We highlight the role of tissue-specific stressors in health and disease and examine membrane repair pathways across diverse cell types. Furthermore, we outline the impact of genetic and environmental factors on plasma membrane integrity and how these contribute to disease pathogenesis in different tissues.

AbstractMycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a major global health problem and causes extensive cytotoxicity in patient cells and tissues. Here we define an NLRP3, caspase-1 and gasdermin D-mediated pathway to pyroptosis in human monocytes following exposure to Mtb. We demonstrate an ESX-1 mediated, contact-induced plasma membrane (PM) damage response that occurs during phagocytosis or from the cytosolic side of the PM after phagosomal rupture in Mtb infected cells. This PM injury in turn causes K+ efflux and activation of NLRP3 dependent IL-1β release and pyroptosis, facilitating the spread of Mtb to neighbouring cells. Further we reveal a dynamic interplay of pyroptosis with ESCRT-mediated PM repair. Collectively, these findings reveal a novel mechanism for pyroptosis and spread of infection acting through dual PM disturbances both during and after phagocytosis. We also highlight dual PM damage as a common mechanism utilized by other NLRP3 activators that have previously been shown to act through lysosomal damage.Graphical abstract

Brewing Yeasts

Remarkably complex patterns of aneuploidy have been observed in the genomes of many eukaryotic cell types, ranging from brewing yeasts to tumor cells. Such aberrant karyotypes are generally thought to take shape progressively over many generations, but evidence also suggests that genomes may undergo faster modes of evolution. Here, we used diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to investigate the dynamics with which aneuploidies arise. We found that cells selected for the loss of a single chromosome often acquired additional unselected aneuploidies concomitantly. The degrees to which these genomes were altered fell along a spectrum, ranging from simple events affecting just a single chromosome, to systemic events involving many. The striking complexity of karyotypes arising from systemic events, combined with the high frequency at which we detected them, demonstrates that cells can rapidly achieve highly altered genomic configurations during temporally restricted episodes of genomic instability.
