Detection of a repellent factor, such as a semaphorin (Sema),
causes localized collapse of the growth cone and directs the neurite
away from the repellent. Growth cone collapse results from concomitant
cytoskeletal rearrangements and detachment of adhesion sites from the
extracellular matrix, via mostly unknown signaling mechanisms. In
cultures of dorsal root ganglion neurons, we found that Sema3A
treatment stimulates the synthesis of the eicosanoid,
12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), whereas Sema3A-induced
growth cone collapse is prevented when 12(S)-HETE synthesis is blocked
with an inhibitor of 12/15-lipoxygenase (LO). Exogenously applied
product of 12/15-LO, 12(S)-HETE, mimics Sema3A-induced collapse. As
observed by interference reflection and confocal microscopy, 12(S)-HETE
causes the loss of growth cone adhesion sites. The adhesion site effect
seems partially independent of the actin cytoskeleton because growth
cones treated with Sema3A and 12/15-LO inhibitor remain spread despite
actin cytoskeleton loss. These studies demonstrate that 12/15-LO
activity is a necessary step in Sema3A collapse signaling in growth
cones and suggest a mechanism for its action.
