The main function of annexin A1 (ANXA1), a member of the annexin superfamily, is to bind to cellular membranes in a Ca2+-dependent manner. In skeletal muscle, ANXA1 is thought to be involved in the repair of damaged membrane tissue and in the migration of muscle cells. We hypothesized that ANXA1 is one of the myokines secreted during muscle contractions to accelerate the repair of cell damage after contraction. Here we performed cell contractions by electric pulse stimulation; the results revealed that a fragmented form of ANXA1 was cleaved by calpain and selectively secreted from skeletal muscle cells by contraction. We therefore realized that muscle-contraction-induced calpain-dependent ANXA1 fragmentation has a wound-healing effect on damaged cells. This suggested that not the intact form but rather fragmented ANXA1 is a contraction-induced myokine.
