The precise origins of postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ) cells
are not known. Furthermore, the gliogenic potential of progenitors expressing Dlx genes that migrate ventrodorsally from
the ganglionic eminences has not been explored in vivo.
Here, we identify the embryonic origins of two distinct populations of
postnatal SVZ cells: SVZ border cells, which express Zebrin
II, and migratory cells in the central SVZ, which are generally
devoid of Zebrin II expression (Staugaitis et al.,
2001). Zebrin II is expressed by all cells of the telencephalic
primordium, with its expression becoming restricted to astrocytes in
the mature telencephalon. As the neuroepithelium folds during
corticostriatal sulcus formation (embryonic day 13-15), a wedge of
Zebrin II+ cells is created at the presumptive site of the dorsolateral
SVZ. At this time, Dlx2-expressing cells and their
progeny begin to migrate ventrodorsally along a medial path from the
ganglionic eminences. These migratory subpallial cells invade the wedge
of Zebrin II+ cells to form the central region of the SVZ. We used a
Dlx2/tauLacZ knock-in to perform a short-term lineage
analysis of Dlx2-expressing cells throughout SVZ
formation and the postnatal peak of gliogenesis. Dlx2/tauLacZ [ -galactosidase ( -gal)]-expressing
cells populate the central SVZ, whereas Zebrin II-expressing cells form
its borders. Furthermore, -gal expression demonstrates a lineage
relationship between Dlx2-expressing cells and glia
residing in the dorsal telencephalon. We propose a model for the
formation of the postnatal SVZ and demonstrate that subpallium-derived
Dlx2-expressing cells give rise to astrocytes and
oligodendrocytes in the white matter and cerebral cortex.
