Neurotransmitters have been implicated in regulating growth cone motility and guidance in the developing nervous system. Anatomical and electrophysiological studies show the presence of functional GABABreceptors on adult olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) nerve terminals. Using antisera against the GABABR1a/b receptor isoforms we show that developing mouse olfactory receptor neurons express GABABreceptors from embryonic day 14 through to adulthood. GABABreceptors are present on axon growth cones from both dissociated ORNs and olfactory epithelial explants. Neurons in the olfactory bulb begin to express glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the synthetic enzyme for GABA, from E16 through to adulthood. When dissociated ORNs were cultured in the presence of the GABABreceptor agonists, baclofen or SKF97541, neurite outgrowth was significantly reduced. Concurrent treatment of the neurons with baclofen and the GABABreceptor antagonist CGP54626 prevented the inhibitory effects of baclofen on ORN neurite outgrowth. These results show that growing ORN axons express GABABreceptors and are sensitive to the effects of GABABreceptor activation. Thus, ORNsin vivomay detect GABA release from juxtaglomerular cells as they enter the glomerular layer and use this as a signal to limit their outgrowth and find synaptic targets in regeneration and development. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
