Cerebellar Purkinje cells are generated in the ventricular zone,
migrate outward, and finally form a monolayer in the cortex. In
reeler mice, however, most Purkinje cells cluster
abnormally in subcortical areas. Reelin, the candidate
reeler gene product recognized by the CR-50 monoclonal
antibody, is concentrated in a cortical zone along which Purkinje cells
are aligned linearly, implying that it may regulate their alignment. We
used an in vitro system and a transplantation approach
to analyze the function of Reelin.
Explant culture for 7 d of cerebella isolated from wild-type and
reeler mice at embryonic day 13 (E13) reproduced in a
phenotype-dependent manner the two distinct arrangement patterns
(linear vs clustered) of Purkinje cells. Extensive CR-50 binding to
wild-type explants converted the linear pattern into a
reeler-like, clustered pattern. On the other hand, when
reeler explants lacking Reelin were crowned with an
artificial layer of Reelin+ granule cells, some Reelin
molecules were distributed into a superficial zone of the
reeler explants, and Purkinje cells formed a linear
pattern along the Reelin-rich overlay. This "rescue" effect was
also inhibited by CR-50. Hence, Reelin is involved in the Purkinje cell
alignment, and the lack of this activity may explain the malformation
in reeler cerebella.
We further injected Reelin+ granule cells into the fourth
ventricle of E12-13 mice. Extensive incorporation of the injected Reelin+ cells into the ventricular zone, but not of
Reelin cells, forced Purkinje cells of the host cerebella
to form an aberrant layer, suggesting that premigratory Purkinje cells
may already be responsive to Reelin or Reelin-related signals.
