The highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (Yy1), was named after its dual functions of both activating and repressing gene transcription. Yy1 plays complex roles in various fundamental biological processes such as the cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Patients with dominant Yy1 mutations suffer from central nervous system (CNS) developmental defects. However, the role of Yy1 in mammalian CNS development remains to be fully elucidated. The isthmus organizer locates to the mid-hindbrain (MHB) boundary region and serves as the critical signaling center during midbrain and cerebellar early patterning. To study the function of Yy1 in mesencephalon/ rhombomere 1 (mes/r1) neuroepithelium development, we utilized the tissue-specific Cre-LoxP system and generated a conditional knockout mouse line to inactivate Yy1 in the MHB region. Mice with Yy1 deletion in the mes/r1 region displayed cerebellar agenesis and dorsal midbrain hypoplasia. The Yy1 deleted neuroepithelial cells underwent cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, with the concurrent changes of cell cycle regulatory genes expression, as well as activation of the p53 pathway. Moreover, we found that Yy1 is involved in the transcriptional activation of Wnt1 in neural stem cells. Thus, our work demonstrates the involvement of Yy1 in cerebellar agenesis and the critical function of Yy1 in mouse early MHB neuroepithelium maintenance and development.

阴阳1对中脑后神经上皮的发展至关重要,并参与小脑的发育不全。

高度保守并普遍表达的转录因子Yin Yang 1(Yy1),以其激活和抑制基因转录的双重功能而得名。Yy1在各种基本生物学过程(例如细胞周期进程,细胞增殖,存活和分化)中扮演着复杂的角色。具有主要Yy1突变的患者患有中枢神经系统(CNS)发育缺陷。但是,Yy1在哺乳动物中枢神经系统发育中的作用仍有待充分阐明。峡部组织器位于中脑(MHB)边界区域,并在中脑和小脑早期构图期间充当关键的信号中心。为了研究Yy1在中脑/菱形1(mes / r1)神经上皮细胞发育中的功能,我们利用组织特异性Cre-LoxP系统并生成条件性敲除小鼠系以灭活MHB区域中的Yy1。在mes / r1区缺失Yy1的小鼠表现出小脑发育不全和中脑背侧发育不全。Yy1删除的神经上皮细胞经历细胞周期停滞和凋亡,同时改变细胞周期调控基因的表达,以及激活p53途径。此外,我们发现Yy1参与神经干细胞中Wnt1的转录激活。因此,我们的工作证明了Yy1参与小脑发育不全,并且Yy1在小鼠早期MHB神经上皮维持和发育中的关键功能。在mes / r1区缺失Yy1的小鼠表现出小脑发育不全和中脑背侧发育不全。Yy1删除的神经上皮细胞经历细胞周期停滞和凋亡,同时改变细胞周期调控基因的表达,以及激活p53途径。此外,我们发现Yy1参与神经干细胞中Wnt1的转录激活。因此,我们的工作证明Yy1参与小脑发育不全,并且Yy1在小鼠早期MHB神经上皮维持和发育中的关键功能。在mes / r1区缺失Yy1的小鼠表现出小脑发育不全和中脑背侧发育不全。Yy1删除的神经上皮细胞经历细胞周期停滞和凋亡,同时改变细胞周期调控基因的表达,以及激活p53途径。此外,我们发现Yy1参与神经干细胞中Wnt1的转录激活。因此,我们的工作证明了Yy1参与小脑发育不全,并且Yy1在小鼠早期MHB神经上皮维持和发育中的关键功能。我们发现Yy1参与了神经干细胞中Wnt1的转录激活。因此,我们的工作证明Yy1参与小脑发育不全,并且Yy1在小鼠早期MHB神经上皮维持和发育中的关键功能。我们发现Yy1参与了神经干细胞中Wnt1的转录激活。因此,我们的工作证明了Yy1参与小脑发育不全,并且Yy1在小鼠早期MHB神经上皮维持和发育中的关键功能。
