Abstract

In vitro, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-responsive neural progenitor cells exhibit multipotent properties and can differentiate into both neurons and glia. Using an in utero xenotransplantation approach we examined the developmental potential of EGF-responsive cells derived from E14 mouse ganglionic eminences, cortical primordium, and ventral mesencephalon, after injection into the E15 rat forebrain ventricle. Cell cultures were established from control mice or from mice carrying the lacZ transgene under control of the promoters for nestin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or myelin basic protein (MBP). The grafted cells, visualized with mouse-specific markers or staining for the reporter gene product, displayed widespread incorporation into distinct forebrain and midbrain structures and differentiated predominantly into glial cells. The patterns of incorporation of cells from all three regions were very similar without preference for the homotopic brain areas. These results suggest that EGF-responsive progenitor cells can respond to host derived environmental cues, differentiate into cells with glial-like features, and become integrated in the developing recipient brain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
