Insight Into

Astrogenesis is repressed in the early embryonic period and occurs in the late embryonic period. A variety of external and internal signals contribute to the sequential differentiation of neural stem cells. Here, we discovered that immune-related CD93 plays a critical negative role in the regulation of astrogenesis in the mouse cerebral cortex. We show that CD93 expression is detected in neural stem cells and neurons but not in astrocytes and declines as differentiation proceeds. Cd93 knockout increases astrogenesis at the expense of neuron production during the late embryonic period. CD93 responds to the extracellular matrix protein Multimerin 2 (MMRN2) to trigger the repression of astrogenesis. Mechanistically, CD93 delivers signals to β-Catenin through a series of phosphorylation cascades, and then β-Catenin transduces these signals to the nucleus to activate Zfp503 transcription. The transcriptional repressor ZFP503 inhibits the transcription of glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap) by binding to the Gfap promoter with the assistance of Grg5. Furthermore, Cd93 knockout mice exhibit autism-like behaviors. Taken together, our results reveal that CD93 is a negative regulator of the onset of astrogenesis and provide insight into therapy for psychiatric disorders.
