Abstract

The extracellular matrix molecule Reelin is required for the correct positioning of neurons during the development of the forebrain. However, the mechanism of Reelin action on neuronal migration is poorly understood. Reelin is assumed to act on neurons directly, but it may also affect the differentiation of glial cells necessary for neuronal migration. Here we show that a regular glial scaffold fails to form in vivo in the dentate gyrus of mice deficient of Reelin or Disabled 1, a neuronal adaptor protein in the Reelin signaling pathway. A subset of these defects is observed in mice that lack β 1 -class integrins, known to bind Reelin. Moreover, recombinant Reelin induced branching of glial processes in vitro . Our data suggest that Reelin affects glial differentiation via Disabled 1 and β 1 -class integrin-dependent signaling pathways.
