Neuronal activity is required for normal neural development. Excessive
activity can cause abnormal growth of neural processes and may contribute
to formation of epileptic foci. Using PC12 cells, we investigated
mechanisms by which depolarization regulates neurite growth. Depolarization
with 45 mM KCl induced neurite outgrowth only if NGF receptors were partly
activated by overexpression of p140trkA or by treatment with a low
concentration of NGF that alone was insufficient to stimulate neurite
formation. Depolarization-induced neurite growth was reduced by inhibitors
of L-type Ca2+ channels, Ca2+/calmodulin- dependent protein (CaM) kinases
II and IV, and transcription. These results identify a novel mechanism by
which depolarizing stimuli synergize with subthreshold activation of NGF
receptors to induce neurite growth through a Ca2+ and CaM kinase-dependent
signal transduction pathway.
