The research uncovers the role of Glial Lazarillo (GLaz) secreted by astrocytes and its interaction with neuronal receptor LpR1 in mediating lipid shuttling between neurons and glia in the fly brain, supporting dendrite morphogenesis. The isoform specificity of LpR1 plays a key role in defining its distribution, binding partners, and ability to support proper dendrite growth and synaptic connectivity.
Lipid shuttling between neurons and glia contributes to the development, function, and stress responses of the nervous system. To understand how a neuron acquires its lipid supply from specific lipoproteins and their receptors, we perform combined genetic, transcriptome, and biochemical analyses in the developing Drosophila larval brain. Here we report, the astrocyte-derived secreted lipocalin Glial Lazarillo (GLaz), a homolog of human Apolipoprotein D (APOD), and its neuronal receptor, the brain-specific short isoforms of Drosophila lipophorin receptor 1 (LpR1-short), cooperatively mediate neuron-glia lipid shuttling and support dendrite morphogenesis. The isoform specificity of LpR1 defines its distribution, binding partners, and ability to support proper dendrite growth and synaptic connectivity. By demonstrating physical and functional interactions between GLaz/APOD and LpR1, we elucidate molecular pathways mediating lipid trafficking in the fly brain, and provide in vivo evidence indicating isoform-specific expression of lipoprotein receptors as a key mechanism for regulating cell-type specific lipid recruitment. Lipophorin receptors (LpRs) regulate structural and functional development of neurons in Drosophila. Here authors demonstrate how short isoforms of LpR1 mediates astrocyte lipid shuttling to neuron through interacting with glia lipoprotein GLaz and the role of this pathway in dendritic morphogenesis in the fly brain.
