E12.5 Murine lateral cortical progenitor cells: Pax6sey/sey vs. Pax6+/+


ABSTRACT: The mechanisms by which the early spatiotemporal expression patterns of transcription factors such as Pax6 regulate the region-specific proliferation rates of neural progenitors are poorly understood. Pax6 is expressed in a gradient across the developing cortex and is essential for normal corticogenesis. We found that constitutive or conditional loss of Pax6 increases cortical progenitor proliferation by amounts that vary regionally with normal Pax6 levels. We compared the gene expression profiles of equivalent Pax6-expressing progenitors isolated from Pax6+/+ and Pax6-/- cortices and identified many negatively-regulated cell cycle genes including those encoding Cyclins and Cdks. Biochemical assays indicated that Pax6 directly represses Cdk6 expression. Cyclin/Cdk repression inhibits retinoblastoma protein (pRb) phosphorylation, thereby limiting the transcription of genes directly promoting mitosis, and we showed that Pax6 inhibits pRb phosphorylation and represses several genes involved in DNA replication. Our results indicate that Pax6’s modulation of the cell cycles of cortical progenitors is regional and direct.
