During development, a diffusible axon guidance cue, netrin-1, plays a variety of important roles in the correct wiring of the nervous system by inducing axon outgrowth, attraction, repulsion and/or branching in various types of neurons. It has been reported that translocation of its receptor DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) from an intracellular pool to the plasma membrane enhances outgrowth of rat spinal commissural axons in response to netrin-1 (Bouchard et al., 2004). To find out whether netrin-1 induces DCC translocation in cerebral cortical neurons, we examined changes in the level and distribution of DCC at the surface of hamster dissociated cortical axons in response to netrin-1. At the surface of cortical axon shafts, we observed netrin-1-evoked, exocytosis-dependent DCC clustering, which was accompanied by elevation of the DCC level. These changes in cell surface DCC occurred in axon shafts, but did not occur in growth cones. Taken together, these results indicate that cell surface DCC is modulated by netrin-1 through translocation of DCC to the plasma membrane via exocytosis in cerebral cortical neurons.
