Abstract
T
he semaphorins are a family of secreted or membrane-bound proteins that are known to guide axons in the developing nervous system. Genetic evidence revealed that a class III semaphorin, semaphorin 3E (Sema3E), and its receptor Plexin-D1 also control the vascular patterning during development. At the molecular level, we have recently shown that Sema3E acts on Plexin-D1 expressed in endothelial cells, thus initiating
a novel antiangiogenic signaling pathway that results
in the retraction of filopodia in endothelial tip cells.
Sema3E induces the
rapid disassembly of integrin-mediated adhesive structures, thereby inhibiting endothelial cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix. This process requires the activation of small GTPase Arf6 (ADP-ribosylation factor 6), which regulates intracellular trafficking of β1 integrin.
However, the molecular mechanisms by which Sema3E-Plexin-D1 activates Arf6 remained to be identified. Here we show that GEP100 (guanine nucleotide exchange protein 100)/Brag2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Arf6, mediates Sema3E-induced Arf6 activation in endothelial cells.
We provide evidence that upon activation by Sema3E, Plexin-D1 recruits
phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase, and its enzymatic lipid product,
phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, binds to the pleckstrin homology domain of GEP100. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate binding to GEP100 enhances its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity toward Arf6
, thus resulting in the disassembly of integrin-mediated focal adhesions and endothelial cell collapse.
Our present study reveals
a novel phospholipid-regulated antiangiogenic signaling pathway whereby Sema3E activates Arf6 through Plexin-D1 and consequently controls integrin-mediated endothelial cell attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and migration.

Background: Class 3 semaphorins are guidance molecules for endothelial cells.
Results: In multiple endothelial cell assays, semaphorin 3d requires neuropilin 1 or PI3K/Akt but not plexin D1, whereas semaphorin
3e requires plexin D1 but not neuropilin 1 or PI3K/Akt.
Conclusion: Semaphorin 3d and 3e utilize different pathways to mediate similar effects in endothelial cells.
Significance: Related guidance molecules utilize distinct mechanisms to repel endothelial cells.
