Slit2 prevents neutrophil recruitment and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 24, 1274–1287 (2013). A comparative study of the reptile, bird, and mammalian telencephalon showed a negative correlation of Robo expression to the amount of indirect neurogenesis. That is, the highest level of Robo expression and the lowest amount of indirect neurogenesis were observed in reptiles, a moderate level of Robo expression and moderate amount of indirect neurogenesis were found in birds, and the lowest level of Robo expression and the highest amount of indirect neurogenesis were detected in mammals ( Cárdenas et al., 2018). Taken all together, Robo regulates the mode of neurogenesis and its low expression level enables neocortical progenitor cells to increase in number, which finally results in expansion of the telencephalon. Slit-Robo Signaling in Neuronal Migration

We next sought to understand how endogenous SLIT proteins regulate macropinocytosis. As a first step, we used a recently validated ELISA kit 66, 67 to measure the SLIT2 protein levels in the serum and peritoneal membrane samples of adult C57BL6/J mice. The levels of endogenous SLIT2 in the peritoneum were ~10 times higher than those detected in serum (Fig. 5g). Because two recent studies have reported that SLIT3 protein is enriched in some extra-neuronal peripheral tissues such as bone marrow, we used a validated ELISA kit 68 to measure SLIT3, and found that SLIT3 levels in murine serum and peritoneal membrane samples are similar (Supplementary Fig. 5c) 24, 68. We found that SLIT2 levels in peritoneal membrane samples are significantly higher than those of SLIT3 (Supplementary Fig. 5d). Whereas the roles of Slit-Robo signaling in the developing brain have been well studied regarding axon guidance, during the previous decade, new roles of Slit-Robo signaling in progenitor cell proliferation and dendritic formation have emerged. These studies have shed light on the fundamental roles of Slit-Robo signaling in multiple events of neocortical development, from the proliferation of progenitor cells to circuit formation ( Figure 1). In addition to the role of Slit-Robo signaling in the migration of interneurons, the dynamics of Robo1 expression in cortical layer neurons during development indicated the roles of Slit-Robo signaling in the radial migration of neocortical projection neurons ( Marillat et al., 2002; Whitford et al., 2002; Gonda et al., 2013).

Shaping cups into phagosomes and macropinosomes. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 9, 639–649 (2008).We observed that the effects of NSlit2 to inhibit macrophage spreading and to induce cell rounding did not occur through inactivation of Rac1/2, but instead, through activation of RhoA. These results are in contrast to the previous studies demonstrating that NSlit2 binding to ROBO1 influences actin dynamics by recruiting and activating GAPs, including srGAPs, that in turn inhibit activation of Rac1/2 and Cdc42 32, 73, 74, 75. Our group previously reported that SLIT2, acting via ROBO1, inhibits monocyte chemotaxis by preventing chemokine-induced activation of Rac1 and Cdc42 GTPases. In line with those results, in the present study, we found that NSlit2 treatment attenuated MDP-induced immune cell migration into the peritoneal cavity (Supplementary Fig. 5a). We previously demonstrated that SLIT2 inhibits post-adhesion stabilization of monocytes tethered to the activated endothelial cells 32. Our group has also reported that NSlit2 impairs neither phagocytosis nor reactive oxygen species production in neutrophils-cellular processes dependent on activation of Rac and Cdc42 and importantly, that NSlit2-treated mice clear bacteria as effectively as their vehicle-treated counterparts 31. NSlit2 does not affect Rac1 and Cdc42 activities in human and murine platelets 22. Le et al. recently reported that NSlit2 interacts with ROBO1 to enhance contraction of mammary myoepithelial cells and their consequent pulling on the extracellular matrix by activating Rac1 76. Similarly, in retinal vascular endothelial cells, SLIT2 signaling through ROBO1 and ROBO2 also activates Rac1 and promotes lamellipodial formation 23. Overall, accumulating evidence suggests that differences in phenotypic effects and the signaling pathways transduced after exposure to NSlit2 are dependent on the cell type, the tissue milieu, and the biologic context.

In experiments using a human-derived cell line, the binding of Slit to Robo was demonstrated to promote the interaction between the intracellular CC3 domain of Robo1 and srGAP1, resulting in the inactivation of Cdc42. Cdc42 inactivation suppresses activation of the actin-related protein (Arp)2/3 complex and neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (actin polymerization regulatory protein, N-WASP), resulting in actin depolymerization. This leads to the axon repulsion and the inhibition of cell migration ( Wong et al., 2001). Cell Adhesion Molecules and Slit-RoboGuerrier, S. et al. The F-BAR domain of srGAP2 induces membrane protrusions required for neuronal migration and morphogenesis. Cell 138, 990–1004 (2009). During this process, Robo1 is required for proper apical dendrite formation ( Gonda et al., 2013), however, the mechanisms by which Robo1 regulates the morphological development of differentiating cortical neurons remains unknown. One possible role of Robo1 is that it acts as a cell adhesion molecule similar to other IgCAMs, which are known to regulate dendrite formation during development ( Moresco et al., 2005; Seong et al., 2015; Parcerisas et al., 2020). The other possibility is that Robo acts to attenuate N-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion, as described above ( Figures 1, 2C). Wong, K. et al.
