Employing neural stem cells from the brain cortex of E12 rat embryos, we investigated the possible role of phospholipase D (PLD) in the synaptogenesis and neurite formation of neural cells during differentiation. Expression level of PLD1 increased during neuronal differentiation of the neural stem cells, resulting in increased PLD activity. Expression level of synapsin I, a marker of synaptogenesis, also increased as the differentiation of neural stem cells progressed. To figure out the effect of PLD on synapsin I expression, we treated the neural stem cells with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to stimulate PLD activity. Increased PLD activity induced by PMA treatment resulted in elevated synapsin I expression and neurite outgrowth during neuronal differentiation. To further confirm the role of PLD in neurite outgrowth, we transfected the dominant-negative form of rat PLD1 cDNA (DN-rPLD1) into neural stem cells to downregulate PLD activity. Overexpression of DN-rPLD1 showed the complete inhibition of neurite outgrowth of neural stem cells under differentiation condition. While transfection of DN-rPLD1 did not affect the synapsin I expression, overexpression of rPLD1 resulted in increased synapsin I expression of the neural cells. These results suggest that PLD1 plays a critical role in neurite outgrowth during differentiation of the neural stem cells. In conclusion, this is the first evidence to show that PLD1 acts as an important regulator of neurite outgrowth in neural stem cell by promoting neuronal differentiation via increase of synapsin I expression.
