ABSTRACT
Lytic cell death culminates in cell swelling and plasma membrane rupture (PMR). The cellular contents released, including proteins, metabolites, and nucleic acids, can act as danger signals and induce inflammation. During regulated cell death (RCD), lysis is actively initiated and can be preceded by an initial loss of membrane integrity caused by pore-forming proteins, allowing small molecules and cytokines to exit the cell. A recent seminal discovery showed that ninjurin1 (NINJ1) is the common executioner of PMR downstream of RCD, resulting in the release of large proinflammatory molecules and representing a novel target of cell death-associated lysis. We summarize recent developments in understanding membrane integrity and rupture of the plasma membrane with a focus on NINJ1.
