Differential roles of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 in tangential and radial migration of cerebellar granule cells.

چکیده
The cerebellar granule cell is a unique neuron which undergoes tangential migration along axonal tracts and radial migration along glial fibers sequentially during postnatal development. Little is known about molecular bases of the differential kinetics of tangential and radial migration. Here we developed a time-lapse imaging assay for tangential migration of cerebellar granule cells, and investigated comparative contributions of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), a key regulator of neuronal migration, in tangential and radial migration of granule cells in vivo and in organotypic cultures. Overexpression of a dominant-negative form of CDK5 severely disrupted cell morphology and somal movement during radial migration, while it only moderately affected tangential migration. Dominant-negative inhibition of CDK5 induced formation of ectopic radial processes in granule cells in vivo which aberrantly elongated into the white matter in the cerebellum. Live imaging of granule cell migration in cerebellar slices revealed that CDK5 regulates not only nuclear migration but also centrosome movement during radial migration. These findings suggest a mode-specific function of CDK5 in neuronal migration.

متن کاملMode and tempo of tangential cell migration in the cerebellar external granular layer.
After their final mitosis, cerebellar granule cells remain in the external granular layer (EGL) for 20-48 hr before initiating their radial migration across the molecular layer (ML), but the significance of this latent period is not well understood. In the present study, we used a confocal microscope to examine morphogenetic changes and behavior of postmitotic granule cells restricted to the EG...

An unbounded number of events exist beneath the intricacy of each particular hematologic malignancy, prompting the tumor cells into an unrestrained proliferation and invasion. Aberrant expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is one of these events which disrupts regulation of cell cycle and subsequently, results in cancer progression. In this study, we surveyed the repressive impact of mu...

متن کاملEx Vivo Imaging of Postnatal Cerebellar Granule Cell Migration Using Confocal Macroscopy
During postnatal development, immature granule cells (excitatory interneurons) exhibit tangential migration in the external granular layer, and then radial migration in the molecular layer and the Purkinje cell layer to reach the internal granular layer of the cerebellar cortex. Default in migratory processes induces either cell death or misplacement of the neurons, leading to deficits in diver...
