Sodium channel beta1 subunits promote neurite outgrowth in cerebellar granule neurons
Abstract
Many immunoglobulin superfamily members are integral in development through regulation of processes such as growth cone guidance, cell migration, and neurite outgrowth. We demonstrate that homophilic interactions between voltage-gated sodium channel beta1 subunits promote neurite extension in cerebellar granule neurons. Neurons isolated from wild-type or beta1(-/-) mice were plated on top of parental, mock-, or beta1-transfected fibroblasts. Wild-type neurons consistently showed increased neurite length when grown on beta1-transfected monolayers, whereas beta1(-/-) neurons showed no increase compared with control conditions. beta1-mediated neurite extension was mimicked using a soluble beta1 extracellular domain and was blocked by antibodies directed against the beta1 extracellular domain. Immunohistochemical analysis suggests that the beta1 and beta4 subunits, but not beta2 and beta3, are expressed in cerebellar Bergmann glia as well as granule neurons. These results suggest a novel role for beta1 during neuronal development and are the first demonstration of a functional role for sodium channel beta subunit-mediated cell adhesive interactions.
