Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Stimulation Disrupts Neuronal Migration In Vitro
Gregory J. Bix1 and Gary D. Clark1, 2 Departments of 1 Pediatrics,
Neurology, and 2 Neuroscience, The Cain Foundation Laboratories, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030 LIS-1 is a gene whose hemi-deletion causes the human neuronal migration disorder Miller-Dieker lissencephaly. It encodes a subunit of a brain platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase, an enzyme that inactivates PAF by hydrolyzing the acetyl moiety in the sn2 position of this phospholipid. Because PAF receptor activation has been shown to affect the developing neuronal cytoskeleton, we have hypothesized that a role for PAF in neurodevelopment is that of a modulator of neuroblast movement (a cytoskeletal function) and that an aberrant regulation of PAF could lead to an early arrest in migration. This report examines the effects of the nonhydrolyzable PAF receptor agonist methyl carbamyl PAF (mc-PAF) on the unidirectional in vitro migration of granule cells from cerebellar cell reaggregates on a laminin substrate. Bath treatment with mc-PAF yields a dose-dependent decrease in granule cell migration compared with controls. This effect can be blocked by the simultaneous bath application of BN 52021 and trans-BTD, PAF receptor-specific antagonists. Although mc-PAF minimally inhibited neurite growth, its primary effect was on somal movement along preextended neurites. These experiments suggest that the stimulation of neuronal PAF receptors could be one crucial step for the regulation of neuroblast migration and that disturbed PAF catabolism during neurodevelopment could contribute to the neuronal migration defects observed in Miller-Dieker lissencephaly.
