dc.description.abstract | The gene for the atypical Notch ligand Delta-like homologue 1 (Dlk1) encodes membrane-bound and secreted isoforms functioning in multiple developmental processes in vitro and in vivo. Dlk1, a member of a cluster of imprinted genes, is expressed from the paternally-inherited chromosome1,2. Here we show that mice deficient in Dlk1 exhibit defects in postnatal neurogenesis within the subventricular zone (SVZ), a developmental continuum resulting in depletion of mature neurons in the olfactory bulb. We show that DLK1 is a factor secreted by niche-astrocytes, while its membrane-bound isoform is present in neural stem cells (NSCs) being required for the inductive effect of secreted DLK1 on self-renewal. Surprisingly, we find a requirement for Dlk1 expressed from both maternal and paternally inherited chromosomes. Selective absence of Dlk1 imprinting in both NSCs and niche astrocytes is associated with postnatal acquisition of DNA methylation at the germ line-derived imprinting control region (IG-DMR). The results emphasize molecular relationships between NSCs and niche-astrocytes identifying a signalling system coded by a single gene functioning co-ordinately in both cell types. The modulation of genomic imprinting in a stem cell environment adds a new level of epigenetic regulation to the establishment and maintenance of the niche raising wider questions about the adaptability, function, and evolution of imprinting within specific developmental contexts. | es_ES |
