Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated-Dependent Apoptosis after Genotoxic Stress in the Developing Nervous System Is Determined by Cellular Differentiation Status

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a neurodegenerative syndrome resulting from dysfunction of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated). The molecular details of ATM function in the nervous system are unclear, although the neurological lesions in A-T are probably developmental because they appear during childhood. The nervous systems of Atm-null mice show a pronounced defect in apoptosis that is induced by DNA damage, suggesting that ATM may function to eliminate DNA-damaged neurons. Here we show that Atm-dependent apoptosis occurs at discrete stages of neurogenesis. Analysis of
-irradiated mouse embryos showed that Atm-dependent apoptosis occurred only in the postmitotic populations that were present in the neuroepithelial subventricular zone of the developing nervous system. Notably, Atm deficiency did not prevent radiation-induced apoptosis in multipotent precursor cells residing in the proliferating ventricular zone. Atm-dependent apoptosis required p53 and coincided with the specific phosphorylation of p53 and caspase-3 activation. Thus, these data show that Atm functions early in neurogenesis and underscore the selective requirement for Atm in eliminating damaged postmitotic neural cells. Furthermore, these data demonstrate that the differentiation status of neural cells is a critical determinant in the activation of certain apoptotic pathways.
