Semaphorin 3A induces CaV2.3 channel-dependent conversion of axons to dendrites

Abstract: Polarized neurites, axons and dendrites, form the functional circuitry of the nervous system. Secreted guidance cues often convert the polarity of neuron migration and neurite outgrowth by regulating ion channels. Here, we show that secreted semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) converts the neurite identity of Xenopus spinal commissural interneurons (xSCINs) by activating CaV2.3 channels (CaV2.3). Sema3A treatment converted the identity of axons of cultured xSCINs to that of dendrites by recruiting functional CaV2.3. Inhibi… Show more

“…1). This result indicates that nimodipine-sensitive Ca 2+ channels, including R-type Ca 2+ channel, mediate Sema3A-induced colocalization of PlexA4 and TrkA in both growth cones and axons (Nishiyama et al, 2011;Treinys et al, 2014). MDC also suppressed Sema3A-induced colocalization of PlexA4 and TrkA in the growth cones and axons (Fig.…”

“…In Xenopus commissural interneurons, it has been suggested that Sema3A increases the number of Ca v 2.3 channels in the growth cone plasma membrane rather than modulating their gating properties (Nishiyama et al, 2011). Further studies will be required to determine whether CRMP1 regulates membrane trafficking of Na v 1.7 and/or it modulates the channel properties of Na v 1.7.…”

“…For example, the dendrites of Xenopus spinal cord interneurons emerge from the proximal axon (Nishiyama et al, 2011), whereas for cultured mouse hippocampal neurons, dendrite polarization probably occurs secondary to the inhibition of axon initiation (Shelly et al, 2011). Polarization of the axon and dendrites of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC), however, appears to occur independently.…”

“…53,54 The coupling mechanism upon Sema3A stimulation between Ca 2C channels and Na C channels is unknown. Although several L-type Ca 2C channel blockers suppress Sema3A-induced axonal transport, 54,55 the voltage-dependent Ca 2C channels that mediate Sema3A response may include R-type Ca 2C channels, as demonstrated in Xenopus spinal neurons, 64 and in embryonic day 15 (E15) mouse DRG. 65 Indeed, despite minor effect, nimodipine suppresses R-type Ca 2C channels, and R-type Ca 2C channels contribute to fast synaptic excitation and action potentials in guinea pig myenteric neurons.…”
