Stem cell factor functions as an outgrowth-promoting factor to enable axon exit from the midline intermediate target.

Abstract:

:Commissural axons are attracted to the midline intermediate target by chemoattractants, but upon crossing the midline they switch off responsiveness to attractants and switch on responsiveness to midline repellents, which expel the axons from the midline and enable them to move on. Here we show that midline exit also requires the stimulation of axon outgrowth by Stem Cell Factor (SCF, also known as Steel Factor). SCF is expressed by midline floor plate cells, and its receptor Kit, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is expressed by commissural axons. In Steel and Kit mutant mice, the majority of commissural axons line up transiently at the contralateral edge of the floor plate, showing a delay in midline exit. In vitro, SCF selectively promotes outgrowth of postcrossing, but not precrossing, commissural axons. Our findings identify SCF as a guidance cue in the CNS, and provide evidence that exiting intermediate targets requires activation of outgrowth-promoting mechanisms.
