Close homolog of L1 (CHL-1), also known as cell adhesion L1-like (CALL) and L1 cell adhesion molecule 2 (L1CAM-2), belongs to the L1 subfamily of immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily cell adhesion molecules, which also includes L1, neurofascin and NgCAM-related cell adhesion molecule (NrCAM) (1‑3). These molecules are type I transmembrane proteins that have 6 Ig-like domains and 4‑5 fibronectin type III-like (FNIII) domains in their extracellular regions. They also share a highly conserved cytoplasmic region of approximately 110 amino acid (aa) residues containing an ankyrin-binding site. CHL-1 is expressed as a highly glycosylated 185 kDa transmembrane protein by subpopulations of neurons and glia of the central and peripheral nervous system (4, 5). Ectodomain shedding via the metalloprotease-disintegrin ADAM8 releases 165 kDa and 125 kDa soluble CHL-1 fragments, which can diffuse away to function at distant sites (6). CHL-1 is not capable of homotypic interactions, but an extracellular binding partner of CHL-1 has not been identified (4). Human CHL1 has been mapped to chromosome 3p26 and is a candidate gene for 3p- syndrome characterized by mental impairment (7). A missense CHL1 polymorphism associated increased risk of schizophrenia, has also been reported (8). The functional importance of CHL-1 in the nervous system is also evident in CHL-1 deficient mice, which display behavioral abnormalities and show misguided axons within the hippocampus and olfactory tract (9). Enhanced ectodomain-shedding of CHL-1 is also observed in Wobbler mice, the neurodegenerative mutant mice (6). In vitro, soluble or substrate-coated CHL-1 promotes neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival of both cerebellar and hippocampal neurons. Cell surface CHL-1 interacts with integrins in cis to potentiate integrin-dependent cell migration toward extracellular matrix proteins (10). For this enhanced cell motility, CHL-1 linkage to the actin cytoskeleton via interaction between ankyrin and the CHL-1 cytoplasmic region is required.

BACE1-mediated processing of APP and CHL1 is reduced in cortex of aged BACE1 cKO mice following tamoxifen treatment. Cortex homogenates from TAM- or VEH-treated mice were resolved by SDS-PAGE for Western blot analysis of APP and CHL1 processing. Homogenates from aged-matched BACE+/− and BACE1−/− were also loaded as control samples. APP-FL, pC99 and pC89 were normalized to GAPDH (MAB374) while CHL1-FL and CHL1-NTF were normalized to beta -tubulin (JDR.3B8). Protein amount was normalized to protein levels in control mice injected with vehicle (set at 1). Representative blots of (a) APP-FL (C1/6.1), (b) APP-CTFs (C1/6.1) and (c) CHL1. (d) Densitometry analysis of protein expression. APP processing was reduced in TAM-treated mice as demonstrated by the accumulation of APP-FL (C1/6.1), and reduced levels of the beta CTFs pC99 and pC89. beta CTFs were clearly identified because missing in the BACE1−/− sample. CHL1-FL (AF2147) levels were increased and CHL1-NTF levels were significantly reduced. Furthermore, the CHL1-NTF/CHL1-FL ratio was significantly decreased in TAM-treated mice demonstrating reduced BACE1 processing (VEH n = 7; TAM n = 7). (e) Quantification of A beta x-40 was performed by MSD immunoassay on cortex homogenates and expressed as pMol/g of cortex. The decrease of levels of A beta x-40 in TAM-treated mice was comparable to the one observed in samples collected from young TAM-treated mice (~50% decrease) (VEH n = 7; TAM n = 7). Results were plotted as Mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.005; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; n.s. = not significant, Student’s t test.

Axon guidance defects were absent in hippocampus mossy fibers of aged BACE1 cKO mice following partial BACE1 deletion. (a) Coronal sections collected from aged mice were stained with anti-synaptoporin (SPO) antibody (green) and DAPI (blue). Scale bar 50 μm. (b) Quantification of IPB length showed no alteration in TAM-treated mice compared to controls. IPB length was normalized on the length of the CA3 stratum lucidum (VEH n = 8; TAM n = 7, 3 to 4 sections per mouse). (c) Representative microscopy images showing reduced BACE1 (D10E5) expression in the hippocampus of TAM-treated mice. BACE1 signal was totally absent in BACE−/− mice, used as control to evaluate the amount of background in the staining. Scale bar 200 μm. Hippocampus full homogenates from TAM- or VEH-treated mice were resolved by SDS-PAGE for analysis of APP processing and fractionated (soluble and membrane fractions) for the analysis of SEZ6 and CHL1 processing. Homogenates from aged-matched BACE+/− and BACE1−/− were loaded as control samples. Representative blots of (d) APP-FL (C1/6.1) and APP- CTFs (C1/6.1), (e) fractionation blots of sAPP beta (BAWT), SEZ6 (14E5) and CHL1 (AF2147). (f) Densitometry analysis of protein expression. APP processing was reduced in TAM-treated mice as demonstrated by the accumulation of APP-FL (C1/6.1), and reduced levels of the beta CTFs pC99 and pC89, and sAPP beta. beta CTFs and sAPP beta were identified because missing in the BACE1−/− sample. SEZ6 processing was decreased in TAM-treated mice with accumulation of the full length and decreased levels of the ectodomain (SEZ6-NTF) as well as decreased SEZ6-NTF/SEZ6FL ratio. Processing of CHL1 was also impaired as showed by increased of CHL1-FL levels, while CHL1-NTF was not altered. CHL1-NTF/CHL1-FL ratio was significantly decreased. APP-FL, CTFs, SEZ6-NTF and CHL1-NTF were normalized to GAPDH (MAB374), SEZ6-FL and CHL1-FL were normalized to Calnexin (610523) (VEH n = 5; TAM n = 5). (g) A beta x-40 was quantified from hippocampus homogenates by MSD immunoassay. TAM-treated group displayed a significant reduction of A beta x-40 levels (~50% decrease) compared to control (VEH n = 7; TAM n = 7). Results were plotted as Mean ± SEM, **p < 0.005; ***p < 0.001; n.s. = not significant, Student’s t test. DG: dentate gyrus, IPB: infrapyramidal bundle, slu: stratum lucidum, MB: main bundle.
