In humans, mutations in the L1 cell adhesion molecule are
associated with a neurological syndrome termed CRASH, which includes corpus callosum agenesis, mental retardation, adducted thumbs, spasticity, and hydrocephalus. A mouse model with a null mutation in
the L1 gene (Cohen et al., 1997) was analyzed for brain abnormalities by Nissl and Golgi staining and immunocytochemistry. In the motor, somatosensory, and visual cortex, many pyramidal neurons in layer V
exhibited undulating apical dendrites that did not reach layer I. The
hippocampus of L1 mutant mice was smaller than normal, with fewer
pyramidal and granule cells. The corpus callosum of L1-minus mice was
reduced in size because of the failure of many callosal axons to cross
the midline. Enlarged ventricles and septal abnormalities were also
features of the mutant mouse brain. Immunoperoxidase staining showed
that L1 was abundant in developing neurons at embryonic day 18 (E18) in
wild-type cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and corpus callosum and then
declined to low levels with maturation. In the E18 cortex, L1
colocalized with microtubule-associated protein 2, a marker of
dendrites and somata. These new findings suggest new roles for L1 in
the mechanism of cortical dendrite differentiation, as well as in
guidance of callosal axons and regulation of hippocampal development.
The phenotype of the L1 mutant mouse indicates that it is a potentially
valuable model for the human CRASH syndrome.
Key words:
