Abstract

CRMP family proteins (CRMPs) are abundantly expressed in the developing nervous system mediating growth cone guidance, neuronal polarity and axon elongation. CRMP‑5 has been indicated to serve a critical role in neurite outgrowth. However, the detailed mechanisms of how CRMP‑5 regulates neurite outgrowth remain unclear. In the current study, co‑immunoprecipitation was used to identify the fact that CRMP‑5 interacted with the actin and tubulin cytoskeleton networks in the growth cones of developing hippocampal neurons. CRMP‑5 exhibited increased affinity towards actin when compared with microtubules. Immunocytochemistry was used to identify the fact that CRMP‑5 colocalized with actin predominantly in the C‑domain and T‑zone in growth cones. In addition, genetic inhibition of CRMP‑5 by siRNA suppressed the expression of actin, growth cone development and neurite outgrowth. Overexpression of CRMP‑5 promoted the interaction with actin, growth cone development and hippocampal neurite outgrowth. Taken together, these data suggest that CRMP‑5 is able to interact with the actin cytoskeleton network in the growth cone and affect growth cone development and neurite outgrowth via this interaction in developing hippocampal neurons.

Introduction

The neuronal system is complex, and synaptic contacts between polarized neurons are fundamental structures (1,2). During the polarization process, neurons extend several neurites, the majority of which develop into dendrites and only one of which becomes an axon (3). Neurites are tipped with motile growth cones that receive extracellular guidance cues to reach their targets, thus forming neural circuits (4). Growth cones maintain the mobility predominantly due to the rich and flexible cytoskeleton, which contains microtubules and actin (5). Bundled microtubules are distributed predominantly in the central (C-) domain of the growth cone, while splayed or looped microtubules are predominantly in the peripheral (P-) domain and the transitional (T-) zone (6). Actin expresses predominantly in the P-domain and T-zone (7). When the growth cone is in a quiescent state, the polymerization and depolymerization of microtubules and actin exhibit a dynamic balance (8). If the balance is disrupted, the development of growth cone is affected.

Collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs), consisting of five cytosolic proteins (CRMP 1–5), are highly expressed in developing and adult nervous systems (911). CRMPs were originally identified as downstream of the Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A) signaling pathway (12). CRMP-5, as the first identified CRMP-associated protein, has the lowest homology with other CRMP proteins (13). CRMP-5 is highly expressed in post-mitotic neural precursors and the fasciculi of fibers in developing brains (14). Hotta et al (15) observed that CRMP-5 is able to regulate filopodia dynamics and growth cone development, negatively responding to Sema3A signaling. Yamashita et al (16) demonstrated that CRMP-5 regulated dendritic development and synaptic plasticity in the cerebellar Purkinje cells. However, conversely, CRMP-5 has been reported to inhibit neurite outgrowth (17). In addition, CRMP-5 antagonized the promoting effect of CRMP-2 on axonal and dendritic growth through a tubulin-based mechanism (17). Thus, the role of CRMP-5 in neurite outgrowth remains controversial. In addition, CRMP-5 is able to interact with other proteins during brain development, including tyrosine kinase Fes/Fps (18) and the mitochondrial protein septin (19), however the functional significance of these interactions remains unclear. The distribution of CRMP-5 in the growth cones suggests its potential role in regulating growth cone development and neurite outgrowth (15). However, the detailed mechanisms of CRMP-5 interaction with actin remain to be fully elucidated.

The current study aimed to determine whether CRMP-5 would interact with the actin cytoskeleton network to dynamically regulate the distribution and remodeling of cytoskeleton, thus to mediate growth cone development and neurite outgrowth.

Materials and methods

Animals

The experiments were conducted on 1-day-old pups of Sprague-Dawley rats (n=8–10). Rats were purchased from the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science of Jinan University (Jinan, China) and were sacrificed immediately. The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of ketamine (30 mg/kg; Maijin Biotechnology, Hubei, China). Normally, the rats were housed in a temperature-controlled (20–22°C) room with a 12 h light/dark cycle, and were provided with free access to food and water. All animal procedures were performed in strict accordance with the recommendations of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals from the National Institutes of Health (20). The protocol was approved by the Jinan University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (approval no. SCXK20110029; Guangzhou, China). All efforts were made to minimize the suffering and number of animals used.

Cell culture and transfection

Hippocampi were dissected from the postnatal rat pups (days 0–1), and dissociated hippocampal neurons were obtained using 0.125% trypsin (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA), which were plated at a density of 1×104 cells/cm2 onto poly-D-lysine (PDL)-coated glass coverslips. Cultures were maintained in Neurobasal-A (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) medium containing 2% B27 (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) and 0.5 mM glutamine (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) supplement at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. Half of the culture media was replaced every 3 days. Calcium phosphate (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) transfections with different constructs were conducted on 6–7 days in vitro (DIV), and all experiments were performed on 7–8 DIV. Human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cell (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) culture was performed as described previously (21). To determine the expression of Flag-CRMP-5, the constructed pCMV-CRMP-5-Tag2 (pCMV-Tag2 vector was obtained from Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) was transfected into HEK293 cells using calcium phosphate. To verify the efficacy and specificity of siRNAs, co-transfection of 100 pmol siRNAs or NC together with 2 µg of the pCMV-CRMP-5-Tag2 plasmids into HEK293 cells was performed using calcium phosphate. Following transfection, cells were grown for 36 h prior to harvesting. Plasmids and siRNA fragments were transfected using the ProFection Mammalian Transfection system (Promega Corporation), performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Growth cone particle isolation

The methods were performed according to previous studies (2224). Briefly, brains were dissected from the rats at 18 days of gestation and homogenized by a Teflon-glass homogenizer (Thomas Scientific, Swedesboro, NJ, USA) in ~8 volumes (w/v) of 0.32 M sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) containing 1 mM MgC12 (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1 mM Tes-NaOH (Sigma-Aldrich; pH 7.3), and the following protease inhibitors: 3 µM aprotinin (Calbiochem; EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), 20 mM benzamidine, 1 mM leupeptin, 1 mM pepstatin A and 0.6 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (all from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The homogenate was centrifuged at 200 × g for 15 min. The low speed supernatant was loaded onto a discontinuous sucrose density gradient consisting of three layers: 0.75, 1.0 and 2.66 M; the gradients were spun to equilibrium at 150,000 × g for 200 min in a Beckman SW 40 Ti Rotor (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Brea, CA, USA). The isolated growth cone gradients were prepared as previously described (23). Neuronal samples subjected to immunocytochemistry were scanned by confocal microscopy. The fraction at the load/0.75 M interface (designated A as in the referred reference) contained the isolated growth cones or growth cone particles (GCPs). Then 'A' fraction samples were subjected to electron microscopy (H-7650, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan).

Electron microscopic procedures were performed as preciously described (23). Briefly, aliquots were mixed slowly with increasing amounts of phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde (1.5%). After 10–15 min, the fixed material was pelleted by centrifugation at 2,000 × g for 5 min at room temperature into a conical embedding capsule (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA). After further glutaraldehyde fixation and washing with arsenate buffer, samples were treated with osmium tetroxide, block-stained with magnesium uranyl acetate and embedded in embedding mixture from the Low Viscosity Embedding Media Spurr's kit (all from Electron Microscopy Sciences). Thin sections were cut, stained and examined with the electron microscope.

Western blotting

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described (24). Briefly, lysates were separated using 8, 10 and 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China) and were then electrophoretically transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). Membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline (TBS; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) with 5% milk and 0.05% Tween-20 and were then probed with the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight: Rabbit anti-CRMP-5 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA, cat. no. sc-292382; 1:1,000) and mouse anti-β-actin (cat. no. A5441; Sigma-Aldrich; 1:1,000). Subsequent to washing with TBS + 0.05% Tween; the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse (cat no. 115-001-008) or anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (cat no. 711-001-003; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA; 1:5,000) and were then visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology).

Immunoprecipitation

Immunoprecipitation assays were performed as described previously (21,25). For immunoprecipitation of hippocampal neurons, extracts were prepared by solubilization in 400 µl of cell lysis buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 10 min at 4°C. Subsequent to brief sonication, the lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, the cell extract was then immunoprecipitated with 4 µg of the antibodies against CRMP-5 (1:500) or β-actin (1:1,000), then the samples were incubated with 60 µl of protein G plus protein A-agarose (Calbiochem; EMD Millipore) for 16 h at 4°C by continuous inversion. Immunocomplexes were pelleted at 500 × g for 5 min at 4°C and washed three times. The precipitated immunocomplexes were boiled in Laemmli buffer and assayed using western blot analysis with anti-CRMP-5 or mouse monoclonal anti-β-tubulin antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich; cat. no. T5201; dilution, 1:2,000).

Immunofluorescence

Hippocampal neurons were grown on coverslips (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and were processed for immunofluorescence according to the standard protocol described previously (24). Cells were fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 5 min at room temperature and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 20 min. The cells were blocked in 3% normal donkey serum (Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, Inc.) in TBS + 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 h at room temperature and incubated with the rabbit anti-CRMP-5 and mouse anti-actin antibodies at 4°C overnight. The cells were washed 3 times for 10 min with PBS + 0.1% Tween-20, and were incubated with the monoclonal donkey anti-rabbit IgG Dylight 549 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.; cat. no. 711-516-152; 1:1,000) or monoclonal donkey anti-mouse IgG Dylight 488 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.; cat. no. 715-485-150; 1:1,000) for 2 h at room temperature. Subsequent to three washes in lysis buffer, cells were mounted on glass slides with Fluoro Gel II containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA). For co-localization analysis, confocal images were analyzed using ImageJ software (version 1.48, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MA, USA) with Just Another Colocalization Plugin (JACoP, National Institutes of Health) (26). The random or codependent nature of colocalizations were tested using Cytofluorogram and intensity correlation analysis. All the co-localization calculations were performed on >10 cells from at least three independent experiments. Microscopy and image analysis were conducted using the same optical slice thickness for every channel using a confocal microscope (LSM 710; Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany).

RNA interference

A validated CRMP-5 short interfering RNA (siRNA) (siCRMP-5) fragment and NC (scrambled sequence, negative control) were synthesized by Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China) and validated previously (15,17,24). Hippocampal neurons were transfected with siRNA using a calcium phosphate protocol (27). To transfect neurons in 24-well tissue culture plates, 100 pmol siRNA was combined with 37 µl 2 M CaCl2 solution in sterile, deionized water to a final volume of 300 µl and then mixed well with 300 µl 2X 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid-buffered saline. The mixtures were vortexed and incubated at 25°C for approximately 4 min. In each well, 30 µl mixture was added drop-wise to the cells and allowed to incubate for an additional 25 min. The green fluorescent protein expression plasmid (Addgene) was co-transfected with the siRNAs to mark the transfected cells.

Statistical analysis

Data are presented as the mean ± standard error. Significant differences were assessed with one-way analysis of variance followed by the Bonferroni or Tamhane post hoc tests. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results

CRMP-5 interacts with cytoskeleton

In order to separate GCPs from the soma, sucrose gradient centrifugation was used. GCPs were then subjected to transmission electron microscopy. As presented in Fig. 1A, GCPs existed as vesicular structures (indicated by arrows), with a uniform size (~1 µm) and loose distribution, which was consistent with previously reported results (22). Subsequently, co-immunoprecipitation was conducted in order to determine whether CRMP-5 would interact with the actin and tubulin cytoskeletons, rather than with tubulin alone as previously reported (24). Using the CRMP-5 antibody, the actin immune-signal in the CRMP-5-precipitated sediment from GCP lysates was detected, with no actin immune-signal in the IgG and blank control groups (Fig. 1B, upper panel). Conversely, using the actin antibody, a CRMP-5 signal was detected in the actin-precipitated sediment (Fig. 1B, lower panel). Furthermore, CRMP-5 was indicated to interact with tubulin using the CRMP-5 and tubulin antibodies (Fig. 1C). These data suggest that CRMP-5 interacts with the actin and tubulin cytoskeleton systems.

CRMP-5 colocalizes with actin in growth cones of hippocampal neurons

Furthermore, the distribution of actin and CRMP-5 in growth cones of developing hippocampal neurons was investigated. Neurons were cultured at a density of 1×104 cells/cm2 on a PDL-coated coverslip. At 3 DIV, neurons were subjected to immunofluorescence with CRMP-5 and actin antibodies. As presented in Fig. 2, actin was predominantly distributed in the P-domain and T-zone, with fewer signals in the C-domain. Lamellipodia in the P-domain exhibited a clear mesh and bundled filaments. CRMP-5 was distributed predominantly in the C-domain and T-zone, however also exhibited clear signals in the lamellipodia and filopodia of the P-domain. CRMP-5 and actin were observed to exhibit colocalization in the actin filaments in the P-domain and in the T-zone, with a colocalization co-efficiency of 84% (Fig. 2, right panel). Using analysis with ImageJ plus JACoP (26), a clear cytofluorogram and ICA score between actin and CRMP-5 was obtained, which additionally indicted colocalization of actin and CRMP-5. These data suggest that CRMP-5 colocalizes with actin in the growth cones of developing neurons.

CRMP-5 regulates actin dynamics and growth cone development

In order to determine the effect of CRMP-5 on actin dynamics and growth cone development, a CRMP-5 expression plasmid (pCMV-CRMP-5-Tag2) was constructed, which had been previously reported (26). As presented in Fig. 3A, the CRMP-5 plasmid was successfully expressed in HEK293 cells by the detection of western blot with the Flag antibody. The plasmid was then transfected into hippocampal neurons. As presented in Fig. 3B, growth cones transfected with CRMP-5 were fan-shaped, with actin predominantly distributed in the P-domain with long actin filaments and increased branches. Overexpression of CRMP-5 promoted growth cone development, with an enlarged growth cone area (Fig. 3B, right panel). The CRMP-5 siRNA experiment was then conducted, where the siRNA efficiency was determined previously (24) and the results are presented in Fig. 4A. On CRMP-5 silencing, the actin filaments were observed to become fragile, and exhibited collapsed growth cones, compared with those in non-transfected neurons (Fig. 4B). These data suggest that CRMP-5 regulates actin dynamics and growth cone development.

CRMP-5 regulates neurite outgrowth

It was then investigated whether CRMP-5 would regulate neurite outgrowth. Hippocampal neurons were transfected with the CRMP-5 overexpression plasmid or with CRMP-5 siRNA fragments. Subsequent to transfection for 5 days, the neurons were subjected to immunocytochemistry. As presented in Fig. 5, the CRMP-5-overexpressing neurons were observed to have a longer neurite length and an increased number of neurite branches than that of CRMP-5-silenced neurons, which possessed short neurite length and few branches (Fig. 5B and C). These data suggest that CRMP-5 regulates neurite outgrowth via modulating actin dynamics and growth cone development.

Discussion

CRMPs are critical for growth cone development, axonal guidance and neuronal polarity. CRMP proteins 1–5 have been implicated to associated with tubulin (17,28). CRMP-5, an isoform distinct from the other four CRMPs, was recently reported to localize in the filopodia of growth cones (15), leaving the role of CRMP-5-associated proteins in regulating growth cones to be further elucidated. Thus, in the current study, it was identified that CRMP-5 interacted with the actin cytoskeleton, colocalized with actin in growth cones, regulated actin dynamics and modulated growth cone development and neurite outgrowth.

Neurite outgrowth relies on the interaction between the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton (29). Actin and microtubules within the growth cone are not independent, however are associated, sensing each other's movement (29). Heidemann et al (30) identified that coordinated cytoskeletal movement was important in axon guidance. Numerous signaling transduction pathways and proteins have been reported to be involved in this process. These proteins include Rho family proteins (3133), plus-end tracking proteins (34,35), spectraplakins (36,37) and microtubule-associated proteins (38), particularly tau protein (3941). In addition, CRMPs may be the structural mediator of actin and microtubules, CRMP-2 is able to interact with tubulin promoting its assembly (28,42). CRMP-4 interacts with actin and promotes neurite growth (43,44). Previous studies have identified that CRMP-5 interacts with tubulin in the growth cones (24). It has additionally been identified that CRMP-2 and CRMP-4 interact to coordinate cytoskeletal dynamics, regulating growth cone development and axon elongation (45). Whether additional novel proteins or members of the CRMP family, (e.g. CRMP-1 and CRMP-3) are involved in this process remains unclear, thus requires further investigation.

CRMP-5 is highly distributed in fetal and neonatal rat brains and is markedly reduced in adult brains (13). In hippocampal neurons, the spatiotemporal distribution of CRMP-5 varies at different developmental stages; CRMP-5 is present in growth cones at stage 3 when neuronal polarity is developed, and reduces to a low level when neurons are polarized. Thus, CRMP-5 contributes to the dynamic regulation of neuronal polarity (17). The data of the current study are consistent with previously reported data (15), in that CRMP-5 in the growth cone is necessary and sufficient for growth cone development. The results of the current study additionally suggest that CRMP-5 functions through its interaction with the cytoskeleton. CRMP-5 has been reported to inhibit dendritic growth in hippocampal neurons (17). However, in cerebellar Purkinje cells, CRMP-5 has been previously reported to promote dendritic development and synaptic plasticity in studies using CRMP-5−/− mice, where aberrant dendrite morphology was observed (16,17). The different functions of CRMP-5 from these studies suggest that CRMP-5 acts to be cell-type specific and this may be due to its efferent distribution or its different interacting proteins. Taken together, the current study has provided novel evidence for CRMP-5-regulated growth cone development and neurite outgrowth.
