DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The development, plasticity, and stability of dendrites and dendritic spines are defective in autism, mental retardation, stroke, and psychiatric diseases. Mutations or reduced levels of heterotrimeric laminin extracellular matrix proteins are associated with these human brain disorders. We provide evidence that neuron-specific ablation of the laminin alpha5 subunit in mice increases spine densities, destabilizes dendrite branches, and compromises normal synaptic transmission and animal behavior. We propose to elucidate the mechanisms by which laminin alpha5 and a new putative laminin alpha5 receptor we have discovered regulate dendrite and dendritic spine development and function. We will use complementary in vivo imaging, electrophysiological, biochemical, and genetic approaches to achieve the following aims: Aim 1. Determine how laminin alpha5 regulates development, plasticity, and function of dendrites, dendritic spines, and synapses. Our data strongly suggest that laminin alpha5 controls dendrite branch and dendritic spine dynamics. We will use transcranial two-photon microscopy of dendrites in the somatosensory cortex, alone and in combination with sensory input manipulation, to reveal how the loss of laminin alpha5 impacts branch and spine dynamics during development and activity-driven plasticity. We will also use electron microscopy and whole cell recording to test the hypothesis that laminin alpha5 regulates synaptic transmission by controlling the structure, transmission properties, and plasticity of individual synapses. Aim 2. Elucidate the composition, origin, and timing of function of alpha5-containing laminins in dendrite and spine development. We do not know which laminin beta and gamma chains partner with laminin alpha5, where they are produced, or when they act. We will use biochemical and genetic knockout approaches to identify laminin beta and gamma chains that associate with laminin alpha5 in neurons to regulate dendrite and spine development. We will also inactivate laminin alpha5 in specific cell types using inducible Cre transgenes to determine where and when laminin alpha5 is required to regulate dendrite and dendritic spine development. Aim 3. Characterize SIRPalpha function in laminin alpha5-mediated dendrite and dendritic spine development. We have shown that the integrin alpha3beta1 receptor for laminin alpha5 mediates dendrite branch stability, but our genetic analysis indicates that other receptors are essential to mediate the effects of laminin alpha5 on dendritic spine development. Our data strongly suggest that the Signal Regulatory Protein alpha (SIRPalpha) transmembrane receptor serves as a novel laminin alpha5 receptor in the control of spine development. We will use cell adhesion assays and in vitro binding assays with purified proteins to identify which domains in SIRPalpha and alpha5-laminins mediate these interactions. We will test how excitatory neuron-specific ablation of SIRPalpha function alone or in combination with integrin alpha3beta1 affects dendrite and spine development and synaptic function and plasticity.
