We confirmed the findings of glial cilia in vitro using two different radial glia-like cell lines: A B C6-R cells (derived from rat glioma cells) and bipolar adult neural progenitor cells harvested using published techniques (Fig. S7) (15). Both cell lines use Shh signaling to maintain the stem cell population (16, 17). These results suggest that cilia on ALNPs could play an important role in regulating their subse- quent proliferation and/or differentiation into neurons. C D Stumpy Mutants Have Defects in Neuronal Precursor Proliferation and Neurogenesis Associated with Perturbed Shh Signaling. Analysis of P0 hippocampi indicated that proliferation of DG precursors was already altered in ⌬Stumpy mutants, as the DG appeared smaller and had fewer dividing precursor cells (Fig. S8 A and B). When we examined the proliferation of Sox2ϩ glia later at P13, ⌬Stumpy mice showed fewer Sox2ϩ cells and a more random distribution when compared with controls (Fig. 1 A, B, E, and F). There was less proliferation overall as determined by the cell cycle marker Ki67 expression in ⌬Stumpy mice (Fig. S9 A and B). E F Notably, fewer proliferating Sox2ϩ cells were present, as deter- mined by colocalization with Ki67 (ϳ52 Ϯ 5% of Ki67ϩ cells were Sox2ϩ in controls vs. ϳ70 Ϯ 8% Sox2ϩ/Ki67ϩ cells in ⌬Stumpy mice; P Ͻ 0.05 [Student’s t test]) (Fig. S9 A and B). However, it should be noted that there appeared to be fewer weakly Sox2ϩ cells that colocalized with Ki67 (Fig. S9 A and B)—perhaps indicative of a decrease in proliferating transit amplifying cells (18). Neurogenesis, in the form of transit- amplifying cells and migrating neurons, was similarly altered in Stumpy mutants. In particular, we noted ectopic Ascl1, and Tbr2 GH expression—early markers of neurogenesis (19) (Fig. S9 C and DЉ). Immature neurons, stained with doublecortin (Dcx), also displayed abnormal morphology (Fig. S9 CЈ and DЈ). Taken together, Stumpy mutants exhibit profound alterations in early (P0) and later proliferation (P13), leading to subsequent defi- ciencies in neurogenesis. To assay where the primary defect in neurogenesis lay, we birthdated two separate populations of S-phase cells with the DNA synthesis markers chlorodeoxyuridine (CldU) and iodode- oxyuridine (IdU). The CldU was administered at P8, and IdU was given at P12 and animals were killed at P13 (Fig. 3A). In IJ controls, hippocampal proliferation was largely confined to the SGZ. However, in ⌬Stumpy mutants, proliferation was dimin- ished in the SGZ and ectopic proliferating cells were more abundant (Fig.

Therefore, alteration of their function or degeneration leads to severe neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. Unraveling the mechanisms of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) phenotype induction and maturation and elucidating the role of the gene network involved in the development and maintenance of these neurons is of pivotal importance to rescue or substitute these cells in order to restore dopaminergic functions. Recently, in addition to morphogens and transcription factors, microRNAs have been identified as critical players to confer mDA identity. The elucidation of the gene network involved in mDA neuron development and function will be crucial to identify early changes of mDA neurons that occur in pre-symptomatic pathological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract Notch signaling and its effector Hes1 regulate multiple cell fate choices in the developing pancreas, but few direct target genes are known. Here we use transcriptome analyses combined with chromatin immunoprecipitation with next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify direct target genes of Hes1. ChIP-seq analysis of endogenous Hes1 in 266-6 cells, a model of multipotent pancreatic progenitor cells, revealed high-confidence peaks associated with 354 genes. Among these were genes important for tip/trunk segregation such as Ptf1a and Nkx6-1, genes involved in endocrine differentiation such as Insm1 and Dll4, and genes encoding non-pancreatic basic-Helic-Loop-Helix (bHLH) factors such as Neurog2 and Ascl1.

The initiation of neurogenesis by astrocytes within the striatum is triggered by reduced Notch-signaling, and blocking this signaling pathway by deletion of the gene encoding the obligate Notch coactivator Rbpj is sufficient to activate neurogenesis by striatal astrocytes in the absence of an injury. Here we report that blocking Notch-signaling in stroke increases the neurogenic response to stroke 3.5-fold in mice. Deletion of Rbpj results in the recruitment of a larger number of parenchymal astrocytes to neurogenesis and over larger areas of the striatum. These data suggest inhibition of Notch-signaling as a potential translational strategy to promote neuronal regeneration after stroke. Keywords: neurogenesis; astrocyte; stem cell; stroke; striatum 1. Introduction Every year, 13.7 million people worldwide suffer a stroke, of whom 5.5 million die and as many suffer permanent loss of function with debilitating outcomes [1].
