Cai, Y. et al. Nonmuscle myosin IIA-dependent force inhibits cell spreading and drives F-actin flow. Biophys. J. 91, 3907–3920 (2006). SLIT2 and SLIT3 ELISA were performed using a microplate reader as per the manufacturer’s recommendations (CUSABIO CSB-E11039m and LSBio LS-F-7173, respectively). Briefly, 100 µl samples and standards were incubated in pre-coated assay wells at 37 °C for 2 h. Samples were removed and wells were then incubated with biotin antibody at 37 °C for 1 h, with avidin antibody for 1 h, and TMB substrate for 30 min. Wells were thoroughly washed three times between incubation steps. After incubation with the TMB substrate, 50 µl stop solution was added to each well and the optical density was read immediately. Wavelength correction was applied by subtracting readings at 540 nm from those at 450 nm. Statistical analyses Commisso, C. et al.

Lowery, L. A. & Van Vactor, D. The trip of the tip: understanding the growth cone machinery. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 10, 332–343 (2009). 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). Cell Adhesion Molecules and Slit-Robo

Properties

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). 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. In the nervous system, SLIT/ROBO signaling has been shown to be involved in axonal repulsion, 4, 27 neuronal migration, 28 and axon guidance. 29 SLITs and ROBOs also have an evolutionarily conserved role in preventing axons from migrating to inappropriate locations during the assembly of the nervous system. 20 The SLIT/ROBO signal from the floor plate repels longitudinal axons away from the ventral midline and maintains straight longitudinal growth. 30 In addition, SLIT proteins have also been shown to stimulate branching and elongation of sensory axons and cortical dendrites in vitro. 5 It was reported that SLIT1 protein promotes neurite outgrowth and elongation when added to both adult rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and cultured DRG, where SLIT1/ROBO2 mRNA and protein were detected. 31 SLIT/ROBO signaling also contributes to the patterning of both the peripheral and central branches of sensory neurons with distinct positive branching and negative guidance actions, respectively. 32 Zanello, G. et al. The cytos Excitatory projection neurons in the neocortex migrate radially toward the CP from the VZ by radial migration ( Ohtaka-Maruyama and Okado, 2015; Hevner, 2019; Silva et al., 2019; Figure 1). By contrast, inhibitory interneurons are generated from the ganglionic eminence (GE) and migrate tangentially to the neocortex through two distinct zones, namely, the IZ/SVZ and MZ ( Pleasure et al., 2000; Lim et al., 2018; Silva et al., 2019). The migration of interneurons from outside of the neocortex is another determinant of the number of neurons in the neocortex. Next, we describe the requirement of Slit-Robo signaling in these two migration modes. Slit-Robo Signaling in Interneuron Migration

Swanson, J. A. Shaping cups into phagosomes and macropinosomes. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 9, 639–649 (2008).During this process, Robo1 is required for proper apical dendrite formation ( Gonda et al., 2013), however, the mechanisms by which Robo1 regulates the morphological development of differentiating cortical neurons remains unknown. One possible role of Robo1 is that it acts as a cell adhesion molecule similar to other IgCAMs, which are known to regulate dendrite formation during development ( Moresco et al., 2005; Seong et al., 2015; Parcerisas et al., 2020). The other possibility is that Robo acts to attenuate N-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion, as described above ( Figures 1, 2C). Zeng, Z. et al. Slit2-Robo2 signaling modulates the fibrogenic activity and migration of hepatic stellate cells. Life Sci. 203, 39–47 (2018). SLIT2/ROBO1 pathway promoted the Mc3 cells proliferation and the treatment of Mc3 cells with the monoclonal antibody R5 which can interrupt the SLIT2/ROBO1 pathway caused significantly suppressed cell growth and proliferation and markedly lowered the expression of PCNA. 42 Furthermore, SLIT2 expression was correlated with the loss of basement membrane in the samples of human skin squamous cell carcinoma at different stages of disease progression. The SLIT2-Tg mice were found to develop significantly more skin tumors than wild-type mice, the skin tumors that occurred in SLIT2-Tg mice were significantly larger than those in the wild-type mice after 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene initiation until the end of the experiment. SLIT2 also could promote the invasive ability of the squamous cell carcinoma cell line A431 and this effect could be significantly repressed by the antibody R5. 43

All confocal images were acquired using a spinning disk confocal microscope (Leica DMi8) equipped with a Hamamatsu C9100-13 EM-CCD camera and 63× (NA- 1.4) or 40× (NA- 1.3) oil immersion objectives. Cell surface area and cell rounding (shape factor) were measured using Volocity 6.3 software (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Wong, K. et al.

Compared with several studies on promoting tumor progression, SLITs and ROBOs are tumor suppressor genes in some special tumors. Here we further elucidate the anticancer function of the SLIT/ROBO pathway. Lucas, B. & Hardin, J. Mind the (sr)GAP—roles of Slit-Robo GAPs in neurons, brains and beyond. J. Cell Sci. 130, 3965–3974 (2017). Whereas the roles of Slit-Robo signaling in the developing brain have been well studied regarding axon guidance, during the previous decade, new roles of Slit-Robo signaling in progenitor cell proliferation and dendritic formation have emerged. These studies have shed light on the fundamental roles of Slit-Robo signaling in multiple events of neocortical development, from the proliferation of progenitor cells to circuit formation ( Figure 1).
