In the adult hippocampus, granule cells continue to be generated from stem cells that are astrocyte-like cells expressing glial fibrilar acidic protein (GFAP). Previously we have studied the embryonic origin of the granule cells by use of Gfap-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice, and have demonstrated that distinctive Gfap-expressing progenitor cells initially originate in a focal region in the neuroepithelium of the medial pallium at the dorsal edge of the fimbria, called the dentate notch, and later travel through the dorsal portion of the fimbria and the subpial region to the anlage of the dentate gyrus where Gfap-expressing progenitors form the granule cell layer, implying that astrocyte-like neural progenitors continue to generate granule neurons from the beginning of dentate development, throughout life. To further know the property of Gfap-expessing progenitor cells, here we examined the expression of brain lipid-biding protein (BLBP) in the Gfap-GFP mice, because BLBP is a well-known marker for neocortical stem cells. Although in the embryonic neocortex, BLBP+ radial glial cell bodies densely lined the lateral ventricle wall and expanded their radial processes throughout the entirety of the neocortical layer, BLBP+ cells were scarcely detected in the hippocampus at E15.5 and 17.5. During these stages, exceptional strong BLBP-expressing cells were present in the fimbria and subpial region, and a very few BLBP+ cells with long processes are scattered in the dentate gyrus. Most GFP+ cells in the hippocampus were devoid of BLBP. Only GFP+ cells in the fimbria expressed BLBP. However, after birth, GFP+ cells in the developing dentate gyrus gradually became BLBP+, and most GFP+ radial progenitors in the subgranular zone expressed BLBP by postnatal day 14. These results suggest that stem /primary progenitor cells of the dentate granule cells are distinct from those of the neocortex and alter their property after birth.

During neocortical development in mammals, most of cortical projection neurons are born near the ventricle and migrate radially towards the brain surface to be aligned in precisely defined patterns in the cortical plate. These patterns of neuronal alignment are regulated by an extracellular matrix protein, Reelin, which is secreted from Cajal-Retzius neurons in the marginal zone of the developing cortex. When Reelin binds to its receptors, tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular adaptor protein Disabled 1 (Dab1) is induced. The molecular cascade of Reelin signal is being uncovered, including the intracellular Dab1-Crk/CrkL-C3G-Rap1-Integrin α5β1 pathway. However, the biological response of neurons to the Reelin signal is yet to be fully understood. To elucidate the biological role of Reelin signal in the developing cortex, we used the in utero electroporation system. Ectopically expressed Reelin caused the leading processes of migrating neurons to assemble in the Reelin-rich region, which in turn induced their cell bodies to form cellular aggregates around Reelin. The ectopic Reelin-rich region became cell-body-sparse and dendrite-rich, resembling the MZ, and the late-born neurons migrated past their predecessors toward the central Reelin-rich region within the aggregates, resulting in a birthdate-dependent "inside-out" alignment even ectopically. Interestingly, Downstream molecules were found to be necessary for formation of the aggregates. Underlying mechanisms will be discussed.

The granular layer of dentate gyrus is formed by migration of progenitor cells through the region of hilus. We found that LOTUS, an endogenous Nogo receptor-1 (NgR1) antagonist, was expressed in developing mouse dentate gyrus. NgR1 has been well studied as a molecule to inhibit nerve regeneration in the adult central nervous system. However, little is known about its function in neural development. We found that abnormal formation of dentate gyrus in neonatal LOTUS-knockout mice. The granule cells of dentate gyrus were distributed in a scattered matter in the hilus region. Such abnormal distribution of the granule cells suggested that lack of LOTUS inducing Nogo signaling gives rise to cell migration disturbance. Recently, it has been reported that Nogo and NgR1 play an important role in regulation of neural migration in developing neocortex. Therefore, it is suspected that LOTUS may contribute to cell migration in the dentate gyrus formation through down-regulation of NgR1 function.

The amygdala is composed of several subdivisions and is involved in the cognitive function and emotional behavior. Amygdala dysfunction has been indicated in various psychiatric disorders including autism, depression, and schizophrenia. However, pathological changes of amygdala in these diseases are not yet fully described. In addition, the molecular pathways that mediate amygdala development and function are largely unknown. In order to analyze the molecular basis related to the amygdalar function, we examined the spatio-temporal dynamics of the mouse amygdala transcriptome. Using a laser capture microdissection method, we prepared tissue samples from five amygdala subnuclei including lateral nucleus (La), basolateral nucleus (BL), basomedial nucleus (BM), medial nucleus (Me), and central nucleus (Ce) of male and female mice spanning the periods from embryonic development to late adulthood. In neonatal amygdala, expression level of genes that regulate the neuronal development, neuronal differentiation, axonal guidance, and myelination were specifically changed. During the postnatal period, gene expression profiles were classified into two major clusters: La/BL cluster and BM/Me/Ce cluster. Each amygdalar subdivision had distinct gene expression pattern, and we found several marker genes that are useful for distinguish each amygdalar subdivision. We also identified some genes that differ in expression by sex or age. This study provides a comprehensive data set on the mouse amygdala transcriptome and insights into the molecular basis of mouse amygdalar development and function.

The development of the brain is a complex process involving the regulation of neuronal positioning, axonogenesis, and dendritogenesis. Deviations from the normal program lead to the developmental diseases ranging in severity from epilepsy to mental retardation. Some known molecules related neuronal development also play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. We have been investigating the biological roles of Reelin-Dab1 signaling that are well known to govern the neuronal positioning during brain development. We previously reported that Stk25 regulates neuronal polarization and Golgi morphology by collaborating with Reelin-Dab1 signaling. However, two major questions still remain to be determined; 1) whether or not Reelin-Dab1 signaling has a critical role in neurodegeneration. Tau hyperphosphorylation is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease including Alzheimer's disease. Tau is hyperphosphorylated in the hippocampus of dab1-null mice in a strain-dependent manner; however, it has not been clear if the Tau phosphorylation phenotype is a secondary effect of the morbidity of these mutants. 2) Does Stk25 have roles in neuronal positioning and/or neurodegeneration? As shown in the role of Reelin-signaling, it has been estimated that Stk25 may be involved in the neuronal migration. Here, we show that dab1-gene inactivation after brain development leads to Tau hyperphosphorylation in anatomically normal mice. We also found that the knockdown of Stk25 reduces Tau phosphorylation in embryonic neurons. Furthermore, we found the implication that Stk25 may have an important role in neuronal migration. These results impact us to understand the biological roles of Reelin-Dab1 signal and Stk25 both in the mechanisms of neuronal development and neurodegeneration.

RA-GEF-1 (Rapgef2) and RA-GEF-2 (Rapgef6) are a family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors responsible for the activation of Rap1 small GTPases. We have reported that telencephalon-specific RA-GEF-1 conditional knockout (cKO) mice develop an ectopic cortical mass (ECM) underlying a relatively normal cerebral cortex and a severe defect of the major forebrain commissures (Bilasy et al., 2009, 2011). Additional disruption of RA-GEF-2 in cKO mice (dKO) results in further enlargement of the ECM. To obtain an insight into the function of these Rap1 GEFs in neural development, we further analyze the phenotypes of their mutant embryos. At embryonic day (E) 15, in the cortex of cKO mice both Pax6+ radial glial cells and Tbr2+ intermediate progenitors are mislocated in the intermediate zone and even in the cortical plate in addition to their normal locations, the ventricular and subventricular zones, respectively. Also, radial glial fibers are discontinuous and abnormally oriented. In dKO mouse embryos, such abnormalities in the progenitor locations and radial glial fibers appear much earlier and become more pronounced than those in cKO mice. Anti-beta-catenin immunostaining reveals that cells located at the ventricular surface exhibit an irregular shape in cKO and dKO embryos, suggesting the disruption of the adherence junctions. These results suggest that RA-GEF-1 and RA-GEF-2 play a crucial and cooperative role in the regulation of the distribution of neural progenitor cells through the maintenance of the adherens junctions in apical surface cells. Further analyses are underway to clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a polycarbonate material used in plastic dishes and bottles is one of the chemicals that have potentials to affect developing brain of children, but the mechanism of its adverse effects on brain development and behaviors is largely unknown. Thus, in this study we investigated whether and how maternal low-dose BPA exposure affects embryonic cortical development and behaviors later in adulthood.Neuronal migration, an essential process of cortical development, was investigated using an in utero electroporation (IUE) technique. Pregnant ICR mice were exposed to BPA by implanting osmotic pump at a dose equivalent to 0, 40 (BPA-40), 400 (BPA-400) μg/kg b.w./day from embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5) to E18.5. The mCherry expression plasmid was transfected into neural progenitor cells on E14.5 by IUE, and neuronal migration was analyzed on E18.5. Behavior of 10-week-old male offspring, born to C57BL/6J dams administered BPA at the same dose described above from E8.5 to E18.5, was tested using IntelliCage (IC). This behavior test allowed mice to receive a reward by a nose poke if they can wait a specified time (3 or 6 sec). The nose poke interval time was measured to evaluate the behavioral performance.The percentage of mCherry-labeled neurons in the cortical layer II/III of the somatosensory cortex of BPA-40 group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group, indicating impairment of neuronal migration by BPA. Moreover, adult mice of the BPA-40 group exhibited a significant decrease in a nose poke interval in the IC test, indicating the occurrence of highly impulsive behavior. No significant alterations in neuronal migration or behavioral performance were found in the BPA-400 group. In conclusions, perinatal exposure to BPA disrupts cortical development during gestation and behavior later in adulthood in mice, but their relationship remains to be studied.

Reelin-Dab1 signaling is indispensable for proper positioning of neurons in mammalian brain. Reelin is a glycoprotein secreted from Cajal-Reztuis cells in marginal zone of cerebral cortex, and its receptors are ApoER2 or VLDLR expressed on migrating neurons. When Reelin binds to ApoER2 or VLDLR, an adaptor protein Dab1 bound to the receptors undergoes Tyr-phosphorylation that is essential for Reelin signaling. We reported previously that Cdk5-p35 phosphorylates Dab1 at Ser400 and Ser491 and the phosphorylation regulates its binding to CIN85, which is an SH3-containing multiadaptor protein involved in endocytic downregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases. However, the interaction of CIN85 with Dab1 has not been addressed in neurons. We examined here a possibility that CIN85 has a role in Reelin-signaling. We found nonphosphorylated Dab1 mediated colocalization of CIN85 with ApoER2. The colocalization of CIN85 with ApoER2 was increased in neurons stimulated with Reelin repeats 3-6, an active Reelin fragment. The stimulation recruited CIN85 to domains in plasma membrane where it colocalized with ApoER2 and Dab1 and then to EEA1-labeled early endosomes in the cytoplasm. In addition, Tyr-phosphorylation of Dab1 strengthened the binding to CIN85. These results suggest that CIN85 participates in Reelin signaling through the binding to Dab1.
