The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase ADAM10 Is Essential for the Establishment of the Brain Cortex
Open accessAbstract
The metalloproteinase and major amyloid precursor protein (APP) α-secretase candidate ADAM10 is responsible for the shedding of proteins important for brain development, such as cadherins, ephrins, and Notch receptors.Adam10−/−mice die at embryonic day 9.5, due to major defects in development of somites and vasculogenesis. To investigate the function of ADAM10 in brain, we generated Adam10 conditional knock-out (cKO) mice using a Nestin-Cre promotor, limiting ADAM10 inactivation to neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and NPC-derived neurons and glial cells. The cKO mice die perinatally with a disrupted neocortex and a severely reduced ganglionic eminence, due to precocious neuronal differentiation resulting in an early depletion of progenitor cells. Premature neuronal differentiation is associated with aberrant neuronal migration and a disorganized laminar architecture in the neocortex. Neurospheres derived from Adam10 cKO mice have a disrupted sphere organization and segregated more neurons at the expense of astrocytes. We found that Notch-1 processing was affected, leading to downregulation of several Notch-regulated genes in Adam10 cKO brains, in accordance with the central role of ADAM10 in this signaling pathway and explaining the neurogenic phenotype. Finally, we found that α-secretase-mediated processing of APP was largely reduced in these neurons, demonstrating that ADAM10 represents the most important APP α-secretase in brain. Our study reveals that ADAM10 plays a central role in the developing brain by controlling mainly Notch-dependent pathways but likely also by reducing surface shedding of other neuronal membrane proteins including APP.

GDE2 is required to control neuronal ADAM10 α-secretase activity.
“these observations support the model that GDE2 is required to control neuronal ADAM10 α-secretase activity.”
From GDE2-RECK controls ADAM10 α-secretase–mediated cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (2021) · cites this paper as [4]
The Results section, “ADAM10 contributes to APP processing in primary neurons” (page unavailable), reports that ADAM10 is the most important APP α-secretase in the neurons studied. Neither that passage nor the searched passages address GDE2 or show that it is required to control ADAM10 activity. The cited paper supports ADAM10’s neuronal α-secretase role, but not the claim about GDE2. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredADAM10 is the major α-secretase that cleaves APP in neurons.
“genetic ablation and knockdown studies identify ADAM10 as the major α-secretase that cleaves APP in neurons (3, 4).”

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.
