There is an increasing interest in the role of RNA-binding proteins
during neural development. Mouse-Musashi-1 (m-Msi-1) is a mouse neural
RNA-binding protein with sequence similarity to Drosophila
musashi (d-msi), which is essential for neural
development. m-Msi-1 is highly enriched in neural precursor cells that
are capable of generating both neurons and glia during embryonic CNS development. The present study characterized m-Msi-1-expressing cells
in the postnatal and adult CNS. Postnatally, m-Msi-1 was expressed in
proliferative neuronal precursors in the external granule cell layer of
the cerebellum and in the anterior corner of the subventricular zone of
the lateral ventricles. In gliogenesis, the persistent expression of
m-Msi-1 was observed in cells of the astrocyte lineage ranging from
proliferative glial precursors in the subventricular zone (SVZ) to
differentiated astrocytes in the parenchyma. In addition, we showed
that m-Msi-1 was still expressed in proliferating cells in the adult
SVZ, which may contain neural precursor or stem cells. Another neural
RNA-binding protein Hu (the mammalian homolog of a
Drosophila neuronal RNA-binding protein Elav) was
present in postmitotic neurons throughout the development of the CNS,
and its pattern of expression was compared with that of m-Msi-1. These
observations imply that these two RNA-binding proteins may be involved
in the development of neurons and glia by regulating gene expression at
the post-transcriptional level.
