Zinc-finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (Zeb1) is a key regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer metastasis. Mutation ZEB1 associated with human diseases defective brain development. Here we show that downregulation Zeb1 expression in embryonic cortical neural progenitor cells (NPCs) necessary for proper neuronal differentiation migration. Overexpression during differentiation, when its normally declines, blocks NPC lineage progression disrupts multipolar-to-bipolar...
Abstract Radial glial cells (RGCs) are the neural stem (NSCs) in developing brain, capable of self-renewing and generating neurons glia order. The developmental behaviors NSCs determined by extrinsic factors from NSC niche, together with intrinsic factors. Here, we show that Cellular Communication Network 1 (CCN1), a secreted matricellular protein, is an autocrine factor derived RGCs embryonic telencephalon. Loss Ccn1 leads to accelerated lineage progression RGCs, causes premature cell cycle...
Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) undergo active proliferation and exit the cell cycle upon precise regulation to produce differentiated progenies in order. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical players developmental processes of NSPCs; however, relatively few been shown regulate vivo directly. Here, we identified an NSPC expressed lncRNA Lockd (lncRNA downstream Cdkn1b) developing forebrain. Using loss function models by premature termination transcription via knockin...
