Abstract

In the postnatal forebrain, the extracellular matrix protein reelin is expressed and secreted by subsets of GABAergic neurons, whereas in the cerebellum reelin is detected in glutamatergic cells of the granule cell layer. Thus, various regions of the postnatal brain present different patterns of reelin expression, whose significance remains unknown. We combined immunocytochemical and pharmacological approaches to characterize the phenotypic and temporal profiles of reelin expression in dissociated cultures of cerebellar granule neurons. A single type of reelin immunoreactivity, identified by a punctate labelling, was present in the somata of the majority of neurons. This immunoreactivity was observed throughout maturation and was exclusively present in glutamatergic neurons expressing the vesicular glutamate transporter 1. Neurons containing the reelin receptors apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (Apoer2) and very low-density lipoprotein receptor (Vldlr) represented about 80% of cerebellar neurons. The vast majority of reelin-positive neurons coexpressed Apoer2, suggesting that reelin immunoreactivity resulted in part from receptor-bound reelin. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide completely abolished reelin immunoreactivity. In contrast, blocking protein secretion with brefeldin A did not affect the proportion of punctate neurons but revealed a subpopulation of neurons characterized by a solid reelin staining. These data show for the first time that a homogeneous population of glutamatergic neurons can synthesize and secrete reelin in cerebellar granule cells in vitro.
