The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) family is
essential for cortical progenitors to exit the cell cycle and survive.
In this report, we test the hypothesis that pRb collaborates with basic
helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors to regulate cortical
neurogenesis, taking advantage of the naturally occurring dominant-inhibitory HLH protein Id2. Overexpression of Id2 in cortical
progenitors completely inhibited the induction of neuron-specific genes
and led to apoptosis, presumably as a consequence of conflicting differentiation signals. Both of these phenotypes were rescued by
coexpression of a constitutively activated pRb mutant. In contrast, Id2
overexpression in postmitotic cortical neurons affected neither neuronal gene expression nor survival. Thus, pRb collaborates with HLHs
to ensure the coordinate induction of terminal mitosis and neuronal
gene expression as cortical progenitors become neurons.
Key words:
neurogenesis; Id2; pRb; bHLH transcription factors; cortical development; neuronal gene expression; -tubulin; neural
progenitor cells; neurofilaments; apoptosis
