12/13 Subunits in Neuronal Cells: Induction of Neurite
Retraction

and
*The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Division of Cellular
Biochemistry, 1066 CX Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and
Neuronal cells undergo rapid growth cone collapse, neurite
retraction, and cell rounding in response to certain G protein-coupled receptor agonists such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). These shape changes are driven by Rho-mediated contraction of the actomyosin-based cytoskeleton. To date, however, detection of Rho activation has been
hampered by the lack of a suitable assay. Furthermore, the nature of
the G protein(s) mediating LPA-induced neurite retraction remains
unknown. We have developed a Rho activation assay that is based on the
specific binding of active RhoA to its downstream effector Rho-kinase
(ROK). A fusion protein of GST and the Rho-binding domain of ROK
pulls down activated but not inactive RhoA from cell lysates. Using
GST-ROK, we show that in N1E-115 neuronal cells LPA activates
endogenous RhoA within 30 s, concomitant with growth cone
collapse. Maximal activation occurs after 3 min when neurite retraction
is complete and the actin cytoskeleton is fully contracted. LPA-induced
RhoA activation is completely inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors
(tyrphostin 47 and genistein). Activated G

13 subunits mimic LPA both in activating RhoA and in inducing RhoA-mediated cytoskeletal contraction, thereby preventing neurite outgrowth. We conclude that in neuronal cells, LPA activates RhoA to induce growth cone collapse and neurite retraction through a
G12/13-initiated pathway that involves protein-tyrosine
kinase activity.
