Abstract
A plasmalemmal protein, LBP110, which binds to the α1 chain of laminin-1, is acquired by the neural crest-derived precursors of enteric neurons after they colonize the gut. We tested the hypothesis that laminin-1 interacts with LBP110 to promote enteric neuronal development. The effects of laminin-1 on neuronal development were studied in cultures of cells immunoselected from fetal mouse gut (E14–15) with antibodies to LBP110 or p75NTR, a marker for enteric crest—derived cells. No matter which antibody was used, the development of cells expressing neuronal markers was increased three- to fourfold by culturing the cells on a laminin-1—containing substrate. To determine whether this effect of laminin-1 is due to the selective adherence of a neurocompetent subset of precursors, immunoselected cells were permitted to preadhere to poly-D-lysine. Addition of soluble laminin-1 24 h later promoted neuronal but not glial development. The laminin-1 induced increment in neuronal development was abolished both by a peptide containing the sequence of the LBP110-binding domain, IKVAV, and by antibodies to laminin α1 that recognize the IKVAV domain. Neither reagent affected the total number of cells. In contrast, the response to laminin-1 was not affected by control peptides, preimmune sera, or antibodies to laminin β1. Laminin-1 transiently induced the expression of nuclear Fos immunoreactivity; this action was blocked specifically by the IKVAV peptide. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that LBP110 interacts with the IKVAV domain of laminin α1 to promote the differentiation of neurons from enteric crest—derived precursors. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
