Axon branching is a fundamental neurodevelopmental process and underpins the vast neuroconnectivity of the mammalian nervous system. Understanding the mechanisms involved in localized plasma membrane expansion is integral to our understanding of both normal and pathological neurodevelopment. The use of a multipronged approach incorporating both population level and single cell level methodologies enhances reproducibility and increases spatial and temporal resolution without compromising population level analysis. At the ...

Recent estimates suggest that the human brain contains 1011 neurons with 1014 synaptic connections1, highlighting the importance of axon branching in vivo. Extracellular axon guidance cues such as netrin-1 guide axons to appropriate synaptic partners and stimulate axonal branching, thereby increasing synaptic capacity2-5. Netrin-1-dependent axonal arborization involves substantial plasma membrane expansion6, which we hypothesized requires delivery of additional membrane components via SNARE complex dependent exocytic vesicle fusion7. 
Investigating the role of SNARE-mediated exocytosis in netrin-1 dependent axon branching is complicated by several factors. First, the heterogeneity of cortical neurons increases the sample size required to identify significant effects, complicating single cell techniques like imaging. Second, although biochemical techniques permit observation of changes that occur at the population level, they lack the temporal and spatial resolution necessary to localize plasma membrane expansion to the axon in the time frame of axon branching. Lastly, although axon branches form over hours, the cellular changes that contribute to axonal extension may begin within minutes and occur on the order of seconds, thus extending the temporal scope for experimental consideration. 
We outline a multi-technique approach that addresses these diverse temporal and spatial scales of exocytosis and axon branching, and thus enhances our understanding of the fundamental cellular mechanisms. Utilizing these approaches provides evidence that supports a critical role for SNARE-mediated exocytosis in axon branching.

utilizing combined methodologies to define the role of plasma membrane delivery during axon branching and neuronal morphogenesis

During neural development, growing axons extend to multiple synaptic partners by elaborating axonal branches. Axon branching is promoted by extracellular guidance cues like netrin-1 and results in dramatic increases to the surface area of the axonal plasma membrane. Netrin-1-dependent axon branching likely involves temporal and spatial control of plasma membrane expansion, the components of which are supplied through exocytic vesicle fusion. These fusion events are preceded by formation of SNARE complexes, comprising a v-SNARE, such as VAMP2 (vesicle-associated membrane protein 2), and plasma membrane t-SNAREs, syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 (synaptosomal-associated protein 25). Detailed herein isa multi-pronged approach used to examine the role of SNARE mediated exocytosis in axon branching. The strength of the combined approach is data acquisition at a range of spatial and temporal resolutions, spanning from the dynamics of single vesicle fusion events in individual neurons to SNARE complex formation and axon branching in populations of cultured neurons. This protocol takes advantage of established biochemical approaches to assay levels of endogenous SNARE complexes and Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy of cortical neurons expressing VAMP2 tagged with a pH-sensitive GFP (VAMP2-pHlourin) to identify netrin-1 dependent changes in exocytic activity in individual neurons. To elucidate the timing of netrin-1-dependent branching, time-lapse differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy of single neurons over the order of hours is utilized. Fixed cell immunofluorescence paired with botulinum neurotoxins that cleave SNARE machinery and block exocytosis demonstrates that netrin-1 dependent axon branching requires SNARE-mediated exocytic activity.
