Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) promotes various cell migrations in vitro, but there are few investigations into this nonsynaptic role of ACh signaling in vivo. Here we investigate the function of a muscarinic receptor on an epithelial cell migration in Caenorhabditis elegans We show that the migratory gonad leader cell, the linker cell (LC), uses an M1/M3/M5-like muscarinic ACh receptor GAR-3 to receive extrasynaptic ACh signaling from cholinergic neurons for its migration. Either the loss of the GAR-3 receptor in the LC or the inhibition of ACh release from cholinergic neurons resulted in migratory path defects. The overactivation of the GAR-3 muscarinic receptor caused the LC to reverse its orientation through its downstream effectors Gαq/egl-30, PLCβ/egl-8, and TRIO/unc-73 This reversal response only occurred in the fourth larval stage, which corresponds to the developmental time when the GAR-3::yellow fluorescent protein receptor in the membrane relocalizes from a uniform to an asymmetric distribution. These findings suggest a role for the GAR-3 muscarinic receptor in determining the direction of LC migration.
