During systemic infection producing sepsis, vascular leak may occur, and SLIT2 may influence these changes in the vascular integrity. Indeed, several studies have highlighted the vaso-protective role of SLIT2, which prevents increased vascular permeability induced by pro-inflmmatory stimuli in vivo 108, 109, 110. These actions of SLIT2 were proposed to occur through the endothelial cell-specific Roundabout receptor, ROBO4 111, but a more recent study challenges this idea 112. In addition, the role of SLIT2 in maintaining vascular integrity under basal conditions is not clear. Furthermore, the differential contributions of endothelial ROBO1 and ROBO2 receptors in mediating the actions of SLIT2 on vascular integrity and permeability remain to be elucidated 23. A better understanding of how Slit and Robo proteins coordinate the functions of immune cells and endothelial cells is needed to reveal the interplay of these pathways in shaping immune responses associated with infection and inflammation.

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).

Conflict of Interest Dendritic patterning is a crucial developmental process in neocortical circuit formation and function. The dendritic development of neocortical projection neurons may be controlled by factors in the MZ ( Polleux et al., 2000; O’Dell et al., 2012), because dendrites undergo dynamic changes after neurons reach the superficial part of the cortex and initiate differentiation ( O’Dell et al., 2015, Figure 1).

Oakes, P. W. et al. Lamellipodium is a myosin-independent mechanosensor. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 115, 2646–2651 (2018). srGAP2 is detected in the spine head of excitatory synapses in neocortical projection neurons and promotes spine maturation ( Charrier et al., 2012, Figure 3A). Interestingly, human-specific paralogs of srGAP2, namely, srGAP2B, srGAP2C, and srGAP2D arose by gene duplications during human evolution ( Dennis et al., 2012, Figure 3B). Because of partial gene duplication, srGAP2C retains only a part of the F-BAR domain. srGAP2C binds to an ancestral paralog of srGAP2A, and inhibits the function of srGAP2A in spine formation ( Charrier et al., 2012; Fossati et al., 2016; Sporny et al., 2017). YG wrote and edited the manuscript. TN and CH edited the manuscript. All authors reviewed, discussed, and commented on the manuscript. Funding Several axon guidance molecules have been shown to regulate the tangential migration of inhibitory neurons ( Zhu et al., 1999; Marín et al., 2001; Hirschberg et al., 2010). In the embryonic neocortex, Slit1 is expressed in the VZ and SVZ of the lateral and medial ganglionic eminences ( Yuan W. et al., 1999; Bagri et al., 2002; Marillat et al., 2002), and has been suggested to regulate interneuron migration by repelling interneurons toward the neocortex ( Zhu et al., 1999). However, Marín et al. (2003) show that the distribution of interneurons in the neocortex is unaffected in the absence of Slit1 and Slit2, suggesting that Slit is dispensable for the tangential migration of interneurons toward the neocortex.

Zanello, G. et al. The cytos

However, recently, a magnetic resonance imaging study of children with dyslexia demonstrated the abnormal morphology of neurites in the language-associated regions of the neocortex ( Caverzasi et al., 2018). In line with these observations, reduced expression of Robo1 in the embryonic mouse neocortex was shown to delay neuronal migration during development, followed by abnormal dendrite formation leading to subsequent impairment in the terminal positioning of neurons ( Gonda et al., 2013).

On day-0, C57BL/6J were treated with sodium periodate (200 µg in 200 µl) by a single i.p. injection to induce sterile peritonitis. Seventy-two hours after the periodate injection, saline vehicle, or NSlit2 (1 µg), or EIPA (25 mg/kg body weight in 200 µl) was administered i.p. After 1 h, MDP (10 ng) was administered i.p. After 2 h, blood was collected by intracardiac puncture under isoflurane anesthesia. Mice were euthanized immediately following the blood collection, and peritoneal exudates were collected by lavaging the peritoneal cavity with 5 ml cold PBS. Cells in the peritoneal exudate were counted using a hemocytometer. For serum collection, blood was allowed to clot for 2 h at room temperature and centrifuged at 1000 × g for 15 min. Serum aliquots were stored at −20 °C until the assay. Serum CXCL1 levels were determined by ELISA. For experiments involving in vivo Robo1N treatment, 72 h after sodium periodate treatment, saline vehicle, Robo1N (7 µg) or EIPA (25 mg/kg body weight), and Robo1N together were administered i.p. One hour later, MDP (10 ng) was administered i.p. After 2 h, blood was collected by intracardiac puncture. Mice were euthanized immediately, and the peritoneal exudates were collected.

Slit-Robo Signaling in Neural Progenitor Cells

SLIT2/ROBO1 signaling has been reported to activate RhoA in other cell types by either inactivation of Fyn kinase 56, or activation of TRIO 55. SLIT2 can mediate RhoA inhibition via calcium signaling in neurons 77. Following a brief exposure to NSlit2, we observed a significant increase in RhoA activity (Fig. 2b), and yet the same treatment failed to inactivate Fyn (Supplementary Fig. 3b). Our results are in keeping with the previous study which observed Fyn inactivation only after prolonged exposure to SLIT2 56. In line with another study 78, we detected Trio mRNA in transformed RAW264.7 cells but not in primary BMDM (Supplementary Fig. 3a). This suggests that SLIT2-induced stimulation of TRIO might contribute to RhoA activation in RAW264.7 cells but cannot explain the phenotype we observed in primary macrophages.
