We show that most globus pallidus neurons, but very few neocortical interneurons, are generated from the ventral medial ganglionic eminence and dorsal preoptic area based on fate mapping using an Shh-Cre allele. The Shh-expressing subpallial lineage produces parvalbumin(+) GABAergic neurons, ChAT(+) cholinergic neurons, and oligodendrocytes. Loss of Nkx2-1 function from the Shh-expressing domain eliminated most globus pallidus neurons, whereas most cortical and striatal interneurons continued to be generated, except for striatal cholinergic neurons. Finally, our analysis provided evidence for a novel cellular component (Nkx2-1(-);Npas1(+)) of the globus pallidus.
我们通过使用 Shh-Cre 等位基因进行基因标记,证明了大多数苍白球神经元,但非常少的新皮层中间神经元,是由腹内侧神经节隆起和背侧视前区产生的。Shh 表达的基板谱系产生了 parvalbumin(+)GABA 能神经元、ChAT(+)胆碱能神经元和少突胶质细胞。Shh 表达区 Nkx2-1 功能的缺失消除了大多数苍白球神经元,而大多数皮质和纹状体中间神经元继续产生,除了纹状体胆碱能神经元。最后,我们的分析为苍白球的一个新的细胞成分(Nkx2-1(-);Npas1(+))提供了证据。
