Orienting Fate: Spatial Regulation of Neurogenic Divisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cleavage plane orientation has been thought to govern the fate of neural stem cell progeny, but supporting evidence in the neocortex has been sparse. A new study by Postiglione et al. in this issue of Neuron shows that mouse Inscuteable-mediated control of cleavage plane orientation regulates the output of neural progenitor cells.

Apical versus Basal Neurogenesis Directs Cortical Interneuron Subclass Fate.
Fate determination in the mammalian telencephalon, with its diversity of neuronal subtypes and relevance to neuropsychiatric disease, remains a critical area of study in neuroscience. Most studies investigating this topic focus on the diversity of neural progenitors within spatial and temporal domains along the lateral ventricles. Often overlooked is whether the location of neurogenesis within ...
متن کاملIntrinsic fate determinants of neural and multipotent CNS precursor cells
Pax6 is required for one of two distinct neurogenic lineages in the cerebral cortex38 Pax6 is a potent neurogenic gene and regulates bHLH transcription factors .. Summary The cells of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) arise from multipotential precursor cells. The mechanisms that drive precursor cells toward a distinct cell fate are not well understood. Since transcription factors are ...
متن کاملDistinct behaviors of neural stem and progenitor cells underlie cortical neurogenesis.
Neocortical precursor cells undergo symmetric and asymmetric divisions while producing large numbers of diverse cortical cell types. In Drosophila, cleavage plane orientation dictates the inheritance of fate-determinants and the symmetry of newborn daughter cells during neuroblast cell divisions. One model for predicting daughter cell fate in the mammalian neocortex is also based on cleavage pl...
متن کاملDivision modes and physical asymmetry in cerebral cortex progenitors.
Neural stem cells go through a sequence of timely regulated gene expression and pattern of division mode to generate diverse neurons during brain development. During vertebrate cerebral cortex development, neural stem cells begin with proliferative symmetric divisions, subsequently undergo neurogenic asymmetric divisions, and finally gliogenic divisions. In this review, we explore the relations...
متن کاملDifferential Routing of Mindbomb1 via Centriolar Satellites Regulates Asymmetric Divisions of Neural Progenitors
Unequal centrosome maturation correlates with asymmetric division in multiple cell types. Nevertheless, centrosomal fate determinants have yet to be identified. Here, we show that the Notch pathway regulator Mindbomb1 co-localizes asymmetrically with centriolar satellite proteins PCM1 and AZI1 at the daughter centriole in interphase. Remarkably, while PCM1 and AZI1 remain asymmetric during mito...
