Previous studies using overexpressed polymeric immunoglobulin
receptor in cultured neurons have suggested that these cells may use a
dendroaxonal transcytotic pathway (; ). By using a combination of semiquantitative light microscopy,
video microscopy, and a biochemical assay, we show that this pathway is
used by the endogenous ligand transferrin (Tf) and its receptor.
Labeled Tf added to fully mature hippocampal neurons changes the
intracellular distribution of its receptor from preferentially
dendritic shortly after addition to dendritic and axonal at longer
times. Incubation of living neurons with (caged)FITC-Tf followed by
uncaging in the dendrites results in the later appearance of
fluorescence in the axon of the same cell. In "chambered"
sympathetic neurons in culture, 125I-Tf or iron as
55Fe-Tf added to the cell body/dendrite chamber is
recovered in the axonal chamber, showing that internalized ligand from
the cell body-dendrite area is released at the axonal end. Finally, we
show that excitatory neurotransmitters increase Tf receptor transcytosis, whereas inhibitory neurotransmitters reduce it. The
dendritic uptake, transcytotic transport, and axonal release of
physiologically active Tf demonstrated here could be envisioned for
other trophic factors and therefore have important consequences for
neuronal anterograde target maturation. Moreover, the changes in
transcytosis after neurotransmitter addition may be important in the
cellular responses that follow electrical activation.
