Dentate gyrus and subventricular zone of the telencephalon have been regarded as unique sites where neurogenesis continues even after birth. However, here, we report new progenitors which add new neurons to the adult neocortex. Since various stress seems to initiate phenomena related to neurogenesis in the adult neocortex, we induced kindling, a kind of stress in mice brains by electrical stimulation of the amygdala. Then we examined progenitor markers and neuron markers in the neocortex comprehensively. We found granule cells in the leptomeninges express c-fos in an hour, nestin in a day, GAD67 or NeuroD6/NEX in a few days, and finally Tuj1 in a week. Some of the granule cells express FoxP2 or Brn1. According to the markers, the granule cells seem to originate in the VZ of the ganglionic eminence or in the VZ of the pallium. To reveal their origin, we introduced GFP or Fucci-G Cre-reporter plasmids to GAD67-Cre and NeuroD6/NEX-Cre mice, and found a fraction of the tangentially migrating cells and the radially migrating cells penetrate the pia mater. Then the granule cells remain dormant in the leptomeninges. Since there were no axons penetrating basal lamina, the granule cells would detect stress in the brain by transmitters or growth factors released from the parenchyma of the neocortex. We also traced the fate of the GAD67-positive granule cells and the NeuroD6/NEX-positive granule cells by injecting RCAS-GFP simple retrovirus into the subarachnoid space of GAD67-Cre/tvA mice and NeuroD6/NEX-Cre/tvA mice. Then, we found GFP-positive nonpyramidal neurons or pyramidal neurons in the neocortex. Here, we conclude that the granule cells in the leptomeninges produce new neurons for the adult neocortex after severe stress. The information of the granule cells will be indispensable to establish therapeutic treatment for Alzheimer's disease or mental disorders.

In the postnatal brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the ventricular-subventricular zone and migrate toward the olfactory bulbs (OB). After arriving at the OB, each new neuron starts to migrate radially and differentiates into one of two types of olfactory interneurons, granule and periglomerular cells, located in the granule and glomerular layers, respectively. However, the mechanisms that determine the final destination layers of new neurons in the OB remain unclear. Here, we studied the function of Semaphorin3E (Sema3E)-PlexinD1 signaling in the migration of new neurons in the OB. We showed that expression of PlexinD1, the receptor for Sema3E, is downregulated in migrating granule cells but maintained in migrating periglomerular cells. To examine the role of Sema3E-PlexinD1 signaling on the cytoskeletal regulation of migrating neurons, we performed in vitro timelapse imaging. Migrating neurons occasionally formed F-actin-riched lateral processes branched from the leading process. We found that Sema3E suppressed the formation of lateral process without affecting the leading process, thereby supporting the maintenance of bipolar morphology in migrating neurons. FRET imaging using Raichu-Rac1 probe revealed that Rac1 activity is transiently increased at the branching point of lateral processes, which is suppressed after Sema3E addition. Furthermore, the effect of Sema3E on the lateral process formation and Rac1 activation was canceled by plxnd1 knockdown. These results suggest that Sema3E-PlexinD1 signaling determines the final destination layers of new neurons in the OB by regulating their migratory morphology.

New neurons generated in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) migrate rapidly for a long distance in the adult brain. During their migration, the new neurons move inside the astrocytic tunnels toward the olfactory bulb. We have previously demonstrated that new neurons control the morphology of surrounding astrocytes to form and maintain the tunnel structure. This cell-cell interaction mechanism is mediated by Slit1, a diffusible protein secreted by new neurons, and Robo, its receptor expressed by astrocytes. On the other hand, V-SVZ-derived new neurons migrate toward injured area after ischemic stroke through the dense meshwork of activated astrocytes, which is considered to inhibit neuronal regeneration. We found that the new neurons in the injured striatum express Slit1, and that activated astrocytes strongly express Robo receptor. Both Slit1-knockout in new neurons and Robo-knockdown in activated astrocytes inhibited neuronal migration and disrupted intimate association between the new neurons and astrocytes in injured striatum. Using time-lapse recording of new neurons and astrocytes in the brain slices after ischemic stroke, we found that these astrocytes actively changed their morphology when they made contact with migrating new neurons. FRET imaging of cultured cells revealed that new neurons caused activation of Cdc42, a Rho family small G-protein, and actin depolymerization, at the contact site in astrocytes, which was dependent on new neuron-derived Slit1. Moreover, Slit1-overexpression in new neurons promoted their migration in association with astrocytes. Taken together, these observations suggest that the Slit-Robo signaling-mediated interaction of the new neurons with activated astrocytes facilitates their migration toward the injured area.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are the chromatin modifiers that can epigenetically regulate neural stem cells (NSCs) fate choice. Activity of HDACs can be altered by chemicals such as valproic acid (VPA), a widely used antiepileptic drugs (AED), which recently has been shown to have an HDACs inhibition properties. Prenatal exposure to VPA has been reported to impair postnatal cognitive function of children from epileptic mother. Nevertheless, its pathology and proper treatment to minimize the effects are remain unknown. We have previously reported that VPA promotes neuronal differentiation of several NSC types. Here we report that prenatal exposure of VPA to mouse embryo during prominent neurogenic phase also resulted in an enhancement of embryonic neurogenesis. At their adult stages, VPA-treated mice showed cognitive function impairment which largely attributable to a reduction of adult neurogenesis and neuronal abnormalities in the hippocampus, of which could be ameliorated by voluntary running. Our findings suggest that the impairment of cognitive function in children from epileptic mother is plausibly attributable to a reduction of adult neurogenesis and neuronal abnormalities in hippocampus. Although prenatal exposure to AED such as VPA could have persistent effects until adulthood, however, it could be recovered by simple physical activity such as voluntary running.
