R-Type Calcium Channels Are Crucial for Semaphorin 3A–Induced DRG Axon Growth Cone Collapse

Abstract: Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a secreted protein involved in axon path-finding during nervous system development. Calcium signaling plays an important role during axonal growth in response to different guidance cues; however it remains unclear whether this is also the case for Sema3A. In this study we used intracellular calcium imaging to figure out whether Sema3A-induced growth cone collapse is a Ca2+ dependent process. Intracellular Ca2+ imaging results using Fura-2 AM showed Ca2+ increase in E15 mice dorsal roo… 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.…”

“…More intriguingly, recent evidence suggests that Sema3A increases calcium influx through R-type calcium channels in cultured mouse sensory neurons. 48 We speculate that repulsive axon guidance molecules might coordinately regulate wiring of the nervous and vascular networks through shared effectors and mechanisms ( Figure 6C), and this is an interesting direction of future studies.…”

“…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. 66 Thus it is possible that Sema3A activates the R-type Ca 2C channels in the growth cones, thereby leading to opening the Na C channels in the growth cones and/2r axons.…”
