Membrane potential mediates an ancient mechano-transduction mechanism for multi-cellular homeostasis
Membrane potential is a property of all living cells1. However, its physiological role in nonexcitable cells is poorly understood. Resting membrane potential is typically considered fixed for a given cell type and under tight homeostatic control2, akin to body temperature in mammals. Contrary to this widely accepted paradigm, we found that membrane potential is a dynamic property that directly reflects tissue density and mechanical forces acting on the cell. Serving as a quasi-instantaneous, global readout of density and mechanical pressure, membrane potential is integrated with signal transduction networks by affecting the conformation and clustering of proteins in the membrane3,4, as well as the transmembrane flux of key signaling ions5,6. Indeed, we show that important mechano-sensing pathways, YAP, Jnk and p387–121314, are directly controlled by membrane potential. We further show that mechano-transduction via membrane potential plays a critical role in the homeostasis of epithelial tissues, setting tissue density by controlling proliferation and cell extrusion of cells. Moreover, a wave of depolarization triggered by mechanical stretch enhances the speed of wound healing. Mechano-transduction via membrane potential likely constitutes an ancient homeostatic mechanism in multi-cellular organisms, potentially serving as a steppingstone for the evolution of excitable tissues and neuronal mechano-sensing. The breakdown of membrane potential mediated homeostatic regulation may contribute to tumor growth..
