During development, control of proliferation of neuronal precursor
cells plays a crucial role in determining the number of neurons.
Proliferation is driven by mitogens, but how it is terminated remains a
mystery. In this study, we examined the role of cyclin-dependent kinase
inhibitors in the control of proliferation of cerebellar granule cell
precursors (GCPs). Among the inhibitors we examined, only p27/Kip1
(p27) was expressed at significant levels in cells of the granule cell
lineage in the developing and adult cerebellum. In developing
cerebella, p27 was expressed in the external germinal layer (the deeper
regions), the molecular layer, and the granule layer. In adult
cerebella, p27 was expressed in the cells of the granule layer. We
isolated and purified GCPs from cerebella of developing mice and
examined their bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake and p27 expression at
various times. We found that there was an inverse correlation between
BrdU uptake and p27 expression. Even in the presence of saturating
amounts of Sonic hedgehog, a potent mitogen, the cells eventually
stopped dividing and differentiated, expressing p27 strongly. We also
examined mice in which one or both copies of the p27 gene have been
inactivated by targeted gene disruption and found that their cerebella
were larger than those of wild-type mice. In cell cultures, GCPs
prepared from p27-deficient mice showed enhanced proliferation compared
with GCPs from wild-type mice. Taken together, these results suggest that there is an intracellular mechanism that stops GCP division and
causes GCPs to differentiate and that p27 is part of this mechanism.
