It has been shown previously that in the chick embryo the cell
adhesion molecule BEN/SC1/DM-GRASP is expressed by neurons in the
inferior olive (IO) and by their terminal axonal arbors in the
cerebellar cortex, the climbing fibers ().
Here, new information on the expression of BEN during the formation of
the olivocerebellar projection adds the important notion that BEN is
also expressed by the cerebellar targets of inferior olivary axons,
Purkinje cells (PCs) and deep nuclear neurons. This expression is
transient, starting at E7-E8 and vanishing shortly after hatching.
More importantly, BEN expression is restricted to precise subsets of IO
neurons and PCs. In the cerebellar cortex, BEN-immunoreactive (BEN-IR)
structures are not found randomly but are distributed according to a
reproducible pattern of parasagittal stripes. A maximum of four
distinct sagittal stripes is found in each lobule, along the whole
rostrocaudal extent of the cerebellum. Moreover, BEN-expressing stripes
belong to two classes; one contains BEN-IR climbing fibers terminating
on BEN-IR PCs and the other, more frequent class is solely composed of
BEN-IR climbing fibers. Organotypic cultures of isolated cerebella have
shown that the expression of BEN in the IO and in the cerebellum arise
independently, probably because of an intrinsic developmental program.
Thus, the cell adhesion molecule BEN meets all criteria for a
recognition molecule involved in the formation of the olivocerebellar
projection.
