Paired analysis of the 2 2 kb region upstream of the ATG in the recognized chemokine genes showed the presence of several copies of putative TCF-binding sites, as expected for -catenin/TCF-target genes (data not demonstrated). These findings indicated that chemokines may be involved in the HGF-induced axon morphogenesis.

GAPDH was used like a housekeeping gene (image corresponds to 30 PCR cycles). RT-indicates samples in which reaction was run without RT enzyme. Chemokine signaling promotes axon morphogenesis To address this possibility, we 1st tested whether chemokines induce axon outgrowth and branching. Hippocampal neurons were treated with CCL5, CCL7, CCL20, or CXCL2 at different concentrations (10C1000 ng/ml). CCL5 (10 ng/ml), CXCL2 (300 and 1000 ng/ml), and CCL20 (10 and 1000 ng/ml) significantly increased the total length of the axon compared to axon size ideals of untreated neurons (Number ?(Figure2).2). A cocktail of all the chemokines (10 ng/ml) also improved axon outgrowth (Number ?(Figure2I).2I). The raises in axon size were in the range of that acquired by HGF activation (Number ?(Figure2I).2I). In addition to increasing axon size, CXCL2 also produced axon branching (Number ?(Number2J).2J). Axon branching was not significant for the additional studied chemokines in the tested concentrations (data not demonstrated).

Having showed that exogenously added chemokines induce axon morphogenesis in hippocampal neurons, we analyzed whether obstructing chemokine signaling would inhibit the effect of HGF on axon morphogenesis. To this end, we used obstructing antibodies against the chemokines as well as the chemokine receptor antagonists SB2250002 and SB328437 (White colored et al., 1998, 2000). Neurons incubated with HGF together with antibodies against rat CXCL2 or CCL20 (40 g/ml) displayed axon size and branching ideals much like those of untreated neurons (Number ?(Figure3).3). However, the increase in axon size advertised by HGF was not affected by the presence of ovalbumin at the same concentration than the antibodies (40 g/ml). Furthermore, treatment with HGF and the antagonist for the receptor of CXCL2 (CXCR2) SB2250002, or with SB328437, an antagonist of CCR3 (that functions as the only receptor of CCL20 and one of the receptors of CCL5), potently inhibited axon outgrowth and branching to ideals below those of control neurons (Number ?(Figure3).3). These results suggest that CXCL2 and CCL20 are secreted upon HGF activation and that endogenous CXCL2 and CCL20 signaling plays a role in axon morphogenesis.
