lüll Pioneers in the ventral telencephalon: The role of OL-protocadherin-dependent striatal axon growth in neural circuit formation Hirano SCell Adh Migr 2007[Oct]; 1 (4): 176-8OL-protocadherin is a member of the nonclustered-type protocadherin family. A recent study of ours showed that it is essential not only for growth of striatal axons but also for higher ordered neural circuit formation in the ventral telencephalon. The phenotype of OL-protocadherin-deficient mice is striking: several major neural pathways such as thalamocortical pathway, corticothalamic pathway, corticospinal pathway and strionigral pathway were misrouted and/or congested in the ventral telencephalon. Moreover, we detected abnormal patterning of putative guidance cues for thalamocortical axons such as the Nkx2.1(+) cell domain and permissive "corridor" in the ventral telencephalon. Analyses of the expression pattern and phenotypes suggested that deficiency of striatal axons is the primary cause of these phenotypes. With these observations in mind, we proposed a novel hypothesis that proper growth of striatal axons is essential in patterning guidance cues and subsequent formation of neural circuits in the ventral telencephalon. This hypothesis will open a new possibility to reveal the unknown mechanism of neural circuit formation in the ventral telencephalon.|Animals[MESH]|Axons/*metabolism[MESH]|Basal Ganglia/growth & development/*metabolism[MESH]|Cadherins/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Nuclear Proteins/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Protocadherins[MESH]|Thyroid Nuclear Factor 1[MESH]|Transcription Factors/genetics/*metabolism[MESH] |
