| 520 | 3 | |a The precise organization of neural circuits requires highly specific axon guidance, facilitated by cell-surface guidance receptors on axonal growth cones that help neurons reach their target destinations. Despite a limited repertoire of known guidance receptors and ligands, neural systems achieve complex axonal networks, suggesting that additional regulatory mechanisms exist. One proposed strategy is the co-expression of ligands and their receptors on the same axons, allowing modulation of receptor responsiveness to guidance cues. To investigate this mechanism, we studied the spinal lateral motor column (LMC) motor neurons, which make a binary axon pathfinding decision toward limb targets. We hypothesized that specificity protein 1 (Sp1), a transcription factor, regulates ephrin expression in LMC neurons, thereby modulating receptor functions via cis-attenuation to ensure accurate axonal pathfinding. Our results show that Sp1 is indeed expressed in LMC neurons during critical axonal extension periods. Manipulating Sp1 activity disrupted LMC axon trajectory selection, and RNA-Seq analysis indicated that Sp1 regulates genes associated with axon guidance, including ephrins. We found that Sp1 knockdown affected ephrin/Eph cis-binding and trans-signaling, highlighting Sp1's role in controlling axonal projections through ephrin gene regulation. Additionally, coactivators p300 and CBP are essential for Sp1's regulatory function. These findings identify Sp1 as a key transcription factor in LMC neurons, essential for ephrin expression and ephrin/Eph-mediated axon guidance, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of neural circuit formation.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest. | |
