Abstract

Axon guidance and target-derived signals control axonal behavior by regulating the cytoskeleton through poorly defined mechanisms. In particular, how these signaling molecules regulate the growth and directionality of microtubules is not well understood. Here we examine the effect of Wnts on growth cone remodeling, a process that precedes synapse formation. Time-lapse recordings reveal that Wnt3a rapidly inhibits growth cone translocation while inducing growth cone enlargement. These changes in axonal behavior are associated with changes in the organization of microtubules. Time-lapse imaging of EB3-GFP (green fluorescent protein)-labeled microtubule plus-ends demonstrates that Wnt3a regulates microtubule directionality, resulting in microtubule looping, growth cone pausing, and remodeling. Analyses of Dishevelled-1 (Dvl1) mutant neurons demonstrate that Dvl1 is required for Wnt-mediated microtubule reorganization and axon remodeling. Wnt signaling directly affects the microtubule cytoskeleton by unexpectedly inducing adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) loss from microtubule plus-ends. Consistently, short hairpin RNA knockdown of APC mimics Wnt3a function. Together, our findings define APC as a key Wnt signaling target in the regu...Continue Reading
