Neocortical neurons begin to differentiate soon after they are
generated by mitoses at the surface of the ventricular zone (VZ). We
provide evidence here that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) triggers
neuronal differentiation of neocortical precursors within the VZ. In
cultures of dissociated neocortical neuroepithelial cells, BMPs
increase the number of MAP-2- and TUJ1-positive cells within 24 hr of treatment. In explant cultures, BMP-4 treatment leads to an
increase in the number of TUJ1-positive cells within the ventricular
zone. Furthermore, truncated, dominant-negative, BMP type I receptor,
introduced into neocortical precursors by retrovirus-mediated gene
transfer, blocks neurite elaboration and migration out of the VZ.
Finally, immunocytochemistry indicates that BMP protein is
present at the VZ surface. Together, these results indicate that BMP
protein is present within the VZ, that BMP is capable of promoting
neuronal differentiation, and that signaling through BMP receptors
triggers neuronal precursors to differentiate and migrate out of the
VZ.
Key words:
neurogenesis; neocortex; BMPs; migration; differentiation; development
