Gastric mucosal cell homeostatic physiome. Critical role of ER-initiated membranes restitution in the fidelity of cell function renewal.
Homeostatic cell physiology is preserved through the fidelity of the cell membranes restitution. The task is accomplished through the assembly of the precisely duplicated segments of the cell membranes, and transport to the site of their function. Here we examined the mechanism that initiates and directs the restitution of the intra- and extracellular membranes of gastric mucosal cell. The homeostatic restitution of gastrointestinal epithelial cell membrane components was investigated by studying the lipidomic processes in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi. The biomembrane lipid synthesis during the formation of transport vesicles in the systems containing isolated organelle and the cell-specific cytosol (Cyt) from rat gastric mucosal epithelial cells was assessed. The results revealed that lipids of ER transport vesicle and the transmembrane and intravesicular cargo are delivered en bloc to the point of destination. En bloc delivery of proteins, incorporated into predetermined in ER lipid environment, ensures fidelity of the membrane modification in Golgi and the restitution of the lipid and protein elements that are consistent with the organelle and the cell function. The mechanism that maintains apical membrane restitution is mediated through the synthesis of membrane segments containing ceramide (Cer). The Cer-containing membranes and protein cargo are further specialized in Golgi. The portion of the vesicles destined for apical membrane renewal contains glycosphingolipids and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. The vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate are directed to endosomes. Our findings revealed that the preservation of the physiological equilibrium in cell structure and function is attributed to (1) a complete membrane segment synthesis in ER, (2) its transport in the form of ER-transport vesicle to Golgi, (3) the membrane components-defined maturation of lipids and proteins in Golgi, and (4) en bloc transfer of the new segment of the membrane to the cell apical membrane or intracellular organelle.
