Wnt antagonism of Shh facilitates midbrain floor plate neurogenesis
Abstract
The floor plate, an essential ventral midline organizing center that produces the morphogen Shh, has distinct properties along the neuraxis. The neurogenic potential of the floor plate and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Using Shh as a driver for lineage analysis, we found that the mouse midbrain, but not the hindbrain, floor plate is neurogenic, giving rise to dopamine (DA) neurons. Distinct spatiotemporal Shh and Wnt expression may distinguish the neurogenetic potential of these structures. We discovered an inhibitory role for Shh: removal of Shh resulted in neurogenesis from the hindbrain midline and, conversely, high doses of Shh inhibited proliferation and DA neuron production in midbrain cultures. We found that Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is necessary and sufficient for antagonizing Shh, DA progenitor marker induction and promotion of dopaminergic neurogenesis. These findings demonstrate how the dynamic interplay of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and Shh may orchestrate floor plate neurogenesis or a lack thereof.

Midbrain dopamine neurons originate from the mesodiencephalic floorplate, a region at the ventral midline defined by Shh+ and Foxa2+ expression.
“These neurons originate from the mesodiencephalic floorplate (FP), a region at the ventral midline defined by the mRNA expression of Shh+ and Foxa2+ [67–73].”

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.
