Trigeminal Ganglion Axons Are Repelled By Their Presumptive Targets
M. William Rochlin and Albert I. Farbman Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208-3520
Previous work suggested that in mouse, presumptive targets of the trigeminal ganglion, rather than intermediate structures, attract pioneer axons from the time their growth cones exit the ganglion (). In rat we find that some presumptive targets repel trigeminal axons. The repellant activity is concentrated in the anterior and ventral epithelium of the mandibular arch at embryonic day 12 (E12) and was also present in the maxillary arch. The activity is blocked by anti-neuropilin-1. E13 mandible explants repel trigeminal axons during the first day of outgrowth in vitro, but thereafter permit or attract trigeminal ganglion axon outgrowth. By E14, lingual nerve afferents first enter the tongue in vivo, and the repellant influence becomes restricted to the midline. The progressive restriction of the repellant influence may contribute to the in vivo progression of nerve development: the earliest afferents turn anteriorly lateral to the tongue, but subsequently arriving afferents advance into the tongue and then turn away from the midline. Thus, the repellant may influence the order of nerve branch development and the timing of innervation of epithelial and subepithelial targets. Heterochronic studies revealed that the loss of repellant influence from presumptive lateral tongue surface results from downregulation of the repellant activity, not of responsiveness to the repellant. Because presumptive targets repel trigeminal axons during the initial stages of advance from the trigeminal ganglion and do not have a net attractive influence until after afferents have arrived near the target, intermediate structures must guide these axons initially.
