BackgroundIn the vertebrate retina, six neuronal and one glial cell class are produced from a common progenitor pool. During neurogenesis, adjacent retinal cells use Notch signaling to maintain a pool of progenitors by blocking particular cells from differentiating prematurely. In mice there are multiple Notch pathway ligands and receptors, but the role(s) of each paralogue during retinal histogenesis remains only partially defined.ResultsHere we analyzed the cell autonomous and nonautonomous requirements for theDeltalike1(Dll1) ligand during prenatal retinogenesis. We used the α‐Cre driver to simultaneously delete aDll1conditional allele and activate the Z/EG reporter, then quantifiedDll1mutant phenotypes within and outside of this α‐Cre GFP‐marked lineage. We found thatDll1activity is required for Hes1 expression, both autonomously and nonautonomously, but were surprised that retinal ganglion cell differentiation is only blocked cell autonomously. Moreover,Dll1does not act during cone photoreceptor neurogenesis. Finally,Dll1mutant adult retinas contained small retinal rosettes and RGC patterning defects but were otherwise normal.ConclusionsAlthoughDll1participates in bidirectional (cis + trans) Notch signaling to regulate Hes1 expression, it only acts cell autonomously (in cis) to interpret inhibitory signals from other cells that block RGC neurogenesis.Developmental Dynamics 245:631–640, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
