Analysis of the L1-deficient mouse phenotype reveals cross-talk between Sema3A and L1 signaling pathways in axonal guidance
Abstract
In humans, defects of the corticospinal tract have been attributed to mutations in the gene encoding L1 CAM, a phenotype that is reproduced in L1-deficient mice. Using coculture assays, we report that Sema3A secreted from the ventral spinal cord repels cortical axons from wild-type but not from L1-deficient mice. L1 and neuropilin-1 (NP-1) form a stable complex, and their extracellular domains can directly associate. Thus, L1 is a component of the Sema3A receptor complex, and L1 mutations may disrupt Sema3A signaling in the growth cone, leading to guidance errors. Addition of soluble L1Fc chimeric molecules does not restore Sema3A responsiveness of L1-deficient axons; instead, it converts the repulsion of wild-type axons into an attraction, further supporting a function for L1 in the Sema3A transducing pathways within the growth cone.
