Lissencephaly is a devastating neurological disorder due to defective neuronal migration. LIS1 (or PAFAH1B1) was identified as the gene mutated in lissencephaly patients, and was found to regulate cytoplasmic dynein function and localization. Here, we show that more than half of LIS1 is degraded via calpain-dependent proteolysis, and that inhibition or knockdown of calpains protects LIS1 from proteolysis, resulting in the augmentation of LIS1 levels in Lis1+/− mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells, which leads to rescue of the aberrant distribution of cytoplasmic dynein, mitochondria and β-COP positive vesicles. We also show that calpain inhibitors improve neuronal migration of Lis1+/− cerebellar granular neurons. Intra-peritoneal injection of ALLN to pregnant Lis1+/− dams rescued apoptotic neuronal cell death and neuronal migration defects in Lis1+/− offspring. Furthermore, in utero knockdown of calpain by shRNA rescued defective cortical layering in Lis1+/− mice. Thus, the inhibition of calpain is a potential therapeutic intervention for lissencephaly.
