Abstrakt: Neurite outgrowth is a crucial process for organizing neuronal circuits in neuronal development and regeneration after injury. Regenerative failure in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is attributed to axonal growth inhibitors such as the Nogo protein that commonly binds to Nogo receptor-1 (NgR1). We previously reported that lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS) functions as an endogenous antagonist for NgR1 in forming neuronal circuits in the developing brain and improving axonal regeneration in the adult injured CNS. However, another molecular and cellular function of LOTUS remains unknown. In this study, we found that cultured retinal explant neurons extend their neurites on the LOTUS-coating substrate. This action was also observed in cultured retinal explant neurons derived from Ngr1 -deficient mouse embryos, indicating that the promoting action of LOTUS on neurite outgrowth may be mediated by unidentified LOTUS-binding protein(s). We therefore screened the binding partner(s) of LOTUS by using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). LC-MS/MS analysis and pull-down assay showed that LOTUS interacts with Teneurin-4 (Ten-4), a cell adhesion molecule. RNAi knockdown of Ten-4 inhibited neurite outgrowth on the LOTUS substrate in retinoic acid (RA)-treated Neuro2A cells. Furthermore, a soluble form of Ten-4 attenuates the promoting action on neurite outgrowth in cultured retinal explant neurons on the LOTUS substrate. These results suggest that LOTUS promotes neurite outgrowth by interacting with Ten-4. Our findings may provide a new molecular mechanism of LOTUS to contribute to neuronal circuit formation in development and to enhance axonal regeneration after CNS injury.
