| Title | CHD7 controls cerebellar development via Reelin |
| Description | Mutation of the gene encoding the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD7 causes CHARGE syndrome. The mechanisms underlying the neurodevelopmental deficits associated with the syndrome, which include cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay, coordination problems and autistic features, are not known. CHD7 is expressed in neural stem and progenitor cells, but its role in neurogenesis during brain development remains unknown. Here we show that deletion of Chd7 from cerebellar granule cell precursors (GCps) in the mouse results in reduced GCp proliferation, cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay and motor deficits. Genome-wide expression profiling revealed downregulated Reln gene expression in Chd7-deficient GCps. Recessive RELN mutations is associated with severe cerebellar hypoplasia in humans. We provide molecular and genetic evidence that reduced Reln expression contributes substantially to the GCp proliferative defect and cerebellar hypoplasia in GCp-specific Chd7 mouse mutants. Finally, we show that CHD7 is necessary for the maintenance of an open, accessible chromatin state at the Reln locus. Taken together, this study shows that Reln gene expression is regulated by chromatin remodeling, identifies CHD7 as a previously unrecognized upstream regulator of Reln and provides the first evidence that a mammalian CHD protein controls brain development by modulating chromatin accessibility in neuronal progenitors in vivo. |
