Outline of Final Research Achievements |
100 % of double transgenic mice (Tg) of Lmo3 and Hen2 developed hydrocephalus. The cortex, ventricular and subventricular zone were thin and intermediate progenitor cells (IPC) were increased in cortex of embryo. Over-expression of both of Lmo3 and Hen2 by in utero electroporation increased IPC but not neuron and each of them decreased IPC and increased neuron. Therefore, over-expression of each gene might decrease IPC and deplete stem cells by premature neurogenesis. On the other hand, over-expression of both genes might deplete stem cells by induction of excess IPC. Both cases could lead to aberrant neuronal development and hydrocephalus.
