Plasma membrane disruption is a common form of cell injury in mammalian tissues under physiological conditions. We expressed MICAL1-, Annexins-,MG53-, dyferlin-GFPs in culture cells or in vivo, and then subjected them to a plasma membrane disruption created by a two-photon laser. Subsequent confocal imaging with a high sensitive detector unit revealed more striking wave and faster (second time-scale) accumulation of MICAL1-GFP at the disruption site comparing to MG53 or dysferlin-GFPs, followed by actin-RFP depolymerization (second time-scale). We also observed, for the first time in culture cells or living skeletal muscle cells responding to a membrane disruption, subsequent confocal imaging revealed striking accumulation of annexins (A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, A7, S100A10, S100A11)-GFPs at the disruption site. The membrane repair mechanism is now well learned at the cellular and molecular level by multi-photon laser microscope with a high sensitive detector unit.
