Abstract:
:During development, neurons extend axons toward their appropriate synaptic targets to establish functional neuronal connections. The growth cone, a highly motile structure at the tip of the axon, is capable of recognizing extracellular guidance cues and translating them into directed axon outgrowth through modulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Netrin-1 mediates its attractive function through the receptor deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) to promote axon outgrowth and guidance. The calcium-activated protease calpain is involved in the cleavage of cytoskeletal proteins, which plays an important role during adhesion turnover and cell migration. However, its function during neuronal development is less understood. Here we demonstrate that netrin-1 activated calpain in embryonic rat cortical neurons in an extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2-dependent manner. In addition, we found that netrin-1 stimulation led to an increase in calpain-1 localization in the axon, whereas its endogenous inhibitor calpastatin was decreased in the growth cones of cortical neurons by indirect immunofluorescence. Interestingly, calpain-1 was able to cleave DCC in vitro. Furthermore, netrin-1 induced the cleavage of the cytoskeletal proteins spectrin and focal adhesion kinase concomitantly with the intracellular domain of DCC in a calpain-dependent manner in embryonic rat cortical neurons. Cortical neurons over-expressing calpastatin or calpain-depleted neurons displayed increased basal axon length and were unresponsive to netrin-1 stimulation. Altogether, we propose a novel model whereby netrin-1/DCC-mediated axon outgrowth is modulated by calpain-mediated proteolysis of DCC and cytoskeletal targets in embryonic cortical neurons.
