The differentiation of precursor cells into neurons has been shown
to be influenced by both the Notch signaling pathway and growth factor
stimulation. In this study, the regulation of neuronal differentiation
by these mechanisms was examined in the embryonic day 10 neuroepithelial precursor (NEP) population. By downregulating Notch1 expression and by the addition of a Delta1 fusion protein (Delta
Fc), it was shown that signaling via the Notch pathway inhibited neuron
differentiation in the NEP cells, in vitro. The expression of two of the Notch receptor homologs, Notch1
and Notch3, and the ligand Delta1 in these NEP cells was found to be
influenced by a number of different growth factors, indicating a
potential interaction between growth factors and Notch signaling.
Interestingly, none of the growth factors examined promoted neuron
differentiation; however, the fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) 1 and 2 potently inhibited differentiation. FGF1 and FGF2 upregulated the
expression of Notch and decreased expression of Delta1 in
the NEP cells. In addition, the inhibitory response of the cells to the
FGFs could be overcome by downregulating Notch1 expression and by
disrupting Notch cleavage and signaling by the ablation of the
Presenilin1 gene. These results indicate that FGF1 and FGF2 act via the
Notch pathway, either directly or indirectly, to inhibit
differentiation. Thus, signaling through the Notch receptor may be a
common regulator of neuronal differentiation within the developing forebrain.
