Abstract

Mammalian corticogenesis substantially depends on migration and axon projection of newborn neurons that are coordinated by a yet unidentified molecular mechanism. Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) induces activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), a molecule that regulates morphogenesis in various organisms. We show here, using gene targeting in mice, that DLK is indispensable for establishing axon tracts, especially those originating from neocortical pyramidal neurons of the cerebrum. Direct and quantitative analysis of radial migration of pyramidal neurons using slice culture and a time-lapse imaging system revealed that acceleration around the subplate was affected by DLK gene disruption and by administration of a JNK inhibitor. Phosphorylation of JNK substrates, including c-Jun and doublecortin, and of JNK itself at the activation loop were partially affected in brains of DLK-deficient mouse embryos. These data suggest that DLK plays a significant role in the coordinated regulation of radial migration and axon projection by modulating JNK activity.
