In cortical development, subplate axons pioneer the pathway from neocortex to the internal capsule, leading to the proposal that they are required for subsequent area-specific innervation of cortex by thalamic axons. A role for p75 neutrophin receptor (NTR) in area-specific thalamic innervation of cortex is suggested by the observation that p75NTR expression is restricted to subplate neurons in a low-rostral to high-caudal gradient throughout the period of thalamocortical innervation. In vitro, neurotrophin 3 binding to p75NTR increases neurite length and filopodial formation of immunopurified subplate neurons, suggesting a role for p75NTR in subplate growth cone morphology and function in vivo. Consistent with this idea, subplate growth cones have markedly fewer filopodia in mice lacking p75NTR than in wild type mice. Despite this gross morphologic defect, many subplate axons in knock-out mice pioneer the projection to the internal capsule as they do in wild-type mice. However a few subplate axons in the knock-out mice make ectopic projections rostral in the intermediate zone and frontal cortex. Concomitant with the altered morphology of subplate growth cones, mice lacking p75NTR have diminished innervation of visual cortex from the lateral geniculate nucleus, with markedly reduced or absent connections in 48% of knock-out mice. Thalamic projections to auditory and somatosensory cortex are normal, consistent with the gradient of p75NTR expression. Our present results are unusual in that they argue that p75NTR functions in a novel way in subplate neurons, that is, in growth cone morphology and function rather than in axon extension or neuronal survival.
