The medium spiny neuron (MSN) is the major output neuron of the
caudate nucleus and uses GABA as its primary neurotransmitter. A
majority of MSNs coexpress DARPP-32 and ARPP-21, two dopamine and
cyclic AMP-regulated phosphoproteins, and most of the matrix neurons
express calbindin. DARPP-32 is the most commonly used MSN marker, but
previous attempts to express this gene in vitro have
failed. In this study we found that DARPP-32 is expressed in <12% of
E13- or E17-derived striatal neurons when they are grown in defined
media at high or low density in serum, dopamine, or Neurobasal/N2 (Life
Technologies), and ARPP-21 is expressed in <1%. The percentage
increases to 25% for DARPP-32 and 10% for ARPP-21 when the same cells
are grown in Neurobasal/B27 (Life Technologies) for 7 d. After
growth in Neurobasal/B27 plus brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
for 7 d, E13-derived MSNs are 53.7% DARPP-32-positive and 29.0%
ARPP-21-positive; E17-derived MSNs are 66.8% DARPP-32-positive and
51.5% ARPP-21-positive. The percentage of calbindin-positive neurons
also is increased under these conditions. Finally, ARPP-21
expression is reduced in mice with a targeted deletion of the BDNF
gene. We conclude that BDNF is required for the maturation of a large
subset of patch and matrix MSNs in vivo and in
vitro. In addition, we introduce a culture system in which highly differentiated MSNs may be generated, maintained, and studied.
