The mechanisms whereby cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) promote
axonal growth and synaptic plasticity are poorly understood. Here we
show that the neurite outgrowth stimulated by NCAM-mediated fibroblast
growth factor (FGF) receptor activation in cerebellar granule cells is
associated with increased GAP-43 phosphorylation on serine-41. In
contrast, neither NCAM nor FGF was able to stimulate neurite outgrowth
in similar neurons from mice in which the GAP-43 gene had been deleted
by homologous recombination. Integrin-mediated neurite outgrowth was
unaffected by GAP-43 deletion. Both neurite outgrowth and rapid
phosphorylation of GAP-43 in isolated growth cones required the first
three Ig domains of a NCAM-Fc chimera and were stimulated
maximally at 5 µg/ml (~50 nM). Likewise, GAP-43 phosphorylation in isolated growth cones also was stimulated by an
L1-Fc chimera. Both neurite outgrowth and NCAM-stimulated GAP-43 phosphorylation were inhibited by antibodies to the FGF receptor and a
diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor (RHC80267) that blocks the production of arachidonic acid in response to activation of the FGF
receptor. Direct activation of the FGF receptor and the arachidonic acid cascade with either basic FGF or melittin also resulted in increased GAP-43 phosphorylation. These data suggest that the stimulation of neurite outgrowth by NCAM requires GAP-43 function and
that GAP-43 phosphorylation in isolated growth cones occurs via an FGF
receptor-dependent increase in arachidonic acid.
