A microdissection technique was used to separate differentiated
cortical plate (cp) cells from immature ventricular zone cells (vz) in
the rat embryonic cortex. The cp population contained >85% neurons
(TUJ1+), whereas the vz population contained ~60%
precursors (nestin+ only). The chemotropic response
of each population was analyzed in vitro, using an
established microchemotaxis assay. Micromolar GABA (1-5
µM) stimulated the motility of cp neurons expressing glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the rate-limiting enzyme in GABA
synthesis. In contrast, femtomolar GABA (500 fM) directed a
subset of GAD vz neurons to migrate. Thus, the two
GABA concentrations evoked the motility of phenotypically distinct
populations derived from different anatomical regions. Pertussis toxin
(PTX) blocked GABA-induced migration, indicating that chemotropic
signals involve G-protein activation. Depolarization by micromolar
muscimol, elevated [K+]o, or
micromolar glutamate arrested migration to GABA or GABA mimetics, indicating that migration is inhibited in the presence of excitatory stimuli. These results suggest that GABA, a single ligand, can promote motility via G-protein activation and arrest attractant-induced migration via GABAA receptor-mediated
depolarization.
