| Description: |
The plasma membrane (PM) of eukaryotic cells plays a key role in the response to stress, acting as the first line of defense against environmental changes and protecting cells against intracellular perturbations. In this work, we explore how membrane-bound chaperones and membrane lipid domains work together to shape plasma membrane properties-a partnership we refer to as the "epichaperome-plasma membrane lipid axis." This axis influences membrane fluidity, curvature, and domain organization, which in turn shapes the spatial and temporal modulation of signaling platforms and pathways essential for maintaining cellular integrity and homeostasis. Changes in PM fluidity can modulate the activity of ion channels, such as transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. These changes also affect processes such as endocytosis and mechanical signal transduction. The PM proteome undergoes rapid changes in response to membrane perturbations. Among these changes, the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and their accumulation at the PM are essential mediators in regulating the physical state and functional properties of the membrane. Because of the pivotal role in stress adaptation, HSPs influence a wide range of cellular processes, which we grouped into three main categories: (i) mechanistic insights, differentiating in vitro (liposome, reconstituted membrane systems) and in vivo evidence for HSP-PM recruitment; (ii) functional outputs, spanning how ion channels are affected, changes in membrane fluidity, transcytosis, and the process of endocytosis and exosome release; and (iii) pathological effects, focusing on how rewired lipid-chaperone crosstalk in cancer drives resistance to drugs through altered membrane composition and signaling. Finally, we highlight Membrane Lipid Therapy (MLT) strategies, such as nanocarriers targeting specific PM compartments or small molecules that inhibit HSP recruitment, as promising approaches to modulate the functional stability of epichaperome assembly and membrane functionality, with ... |
