We have shown previously that repair in the peripheral nervous system is associated with a reversion to an embryonic pattern of alternative splicing of the extracellular matrix molecule fibronectin. One of the consequent changes is a relative increase in the number of fibronectins expressing the binding site for 4 integrins. Here we show that 4 integrins are expressed on dorsal root ganglion neuron cell bodies and growth cones in the sciatic nerve during regeneration and that the interaction of 4 integrin with alternatively spliced isoforms of recombinant fibronectins containing the 4 binding site enhances neurite outgrowth in dorsal root ganglion neurons. The pheochromocytoma (PC12) neuronal cell line, which normally extends neurites poorly on fibronectin, does so efficiently when 4 is expressed in the cells. Experiments using chimeric integrins expressed in PC12 cells show that the 4 cytoplasmic domain is necessary and sufficient for this enhanced neurite outgrowth. In both dorsal root ganglion neurons and PC12 cells the 4 cytoplasmic domain is tightly linked to the intracellular adapter protein paxillin. These experiments suggest an important role for 4 integrin and paxillin in peripheral nerve regeneration and show how alternative splicing of fibronectin may provide a mechanism to enhance repair after injury.

Key words: integrin; peripheral nerve regeneration; fibronectin; alternative splicing; paxillin; 4; PC12 cell; dorsal root ganglia; chimera; LDV
