The cytokines that signal through the common receptor
subunit gp130, including ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF),
interleukin-6, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and oncostatin M, have
pleiotropic functions in CNS development. Given the
restricted expression domain of the CNTF receptor (CNTFR) in the
developing forebrain germinal zone and adult forebrain periventricular
area, we have examined the putative role of CNTFR/LIFR/gp130-mediated
signaling in regulating forebrain neural stem cell fate in
vivo and in vitro. Analysis of
LIFR-deficient mice revealed that a decreased level of
LIFR expression results in a reduction in the number of adult neural
stem cells. In adult LIFR heterozygote (+/ ) mice, the number of neural stem cells and their progeny in the forebrain subependyma and TH-immunoreactive neurons in the olfactory bulb were
significantly reduced. Intraventricular infusion of CNTF into the adult
mouse forebrain, in the absence or presence of epidermal growth factor
(EGF), enhanced self-renewal of neural stem cells in
vivo. Analyses of EGF-responsive neural stem cells proliferating in vitro found that CNTF inhibits lineage
restriction of neural stem cells to glial progenitors, which in turn
results in enhanced expansion of stem cell number. These results
suggest that CNTFR/LIFR/gp130-mediated signaling supports the
maintenance of forebrain neural stem cells, likely by suppressing
restriction to a glial progenitor cell fate.
