Mitral cells (MCs) of the mammalian olfactory bulb have a single primary dendrite extending into a single glomerulus, where they receive odor information from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Molecular mechanisms for controlling dendritic arbors of MCs, which dynamically change during development, are largely unknown. Here we found that MCs displayed more complex dendritic morphologies in mouse mutants of Maml1, a crucial gene in Notch signaling. Similar phenotypes were observed by conditionally misexpressing a dominant negative form of MAML1 (dnMAML1) in MCs after their migration. Conversely, conditional misexpression of a constitutively active form of Notch reduced their dendritic complexity. Furthermore, the intracellular domain of Notch1 (NICD1) was localized to nuclei of MCs. These findings suggest that Notch signaling at embryonic stages is involved in the dendritic complexity of MCs. After the embryonic misexpression of dnMAML1, many MCs aberrantly extended dendrites to more than one glomerulus at postnatal stages, suggesting that Notch signaling is essential for proper formation of olfactory circuits. Moreover, dendrites in cultured MCs were shortened by Jag1-expressing cells. Finally, blocking the activity of Notch ligands in OSNs led to an increase in dendritic complexity as well as a decrease in NICD1 signals in MCs. These results demonstrate that the dendritic complexity of MCs is controlled by their presynaptic partners, OSNs. Olfactory circuits are critical for the survival of many animals. Odor information is transmitted from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) to relay neurons, the morphology of which is crucial for processing of the information and similar among species. The major relay neurons, mitral cells (MCs) in mammals and projection neurons in flies, have a single primary dendrite at the mature stage. Molecular mechanisms to control the formation of the dendrite are largely unknown. MCs dynamically change their dendrites during development. In this study, we show that the dendritic morphologies of MCs are controlled by Notch signaling, many factors of which are well conserved among species. Moreover, we have found that Notch signaling in MCs is activated by OSNs, and that Notch operates in the relay neurons in the mouse olfactory system, in contrast to the fly system, where Notch functions in OSNs. Therefore, our study has revealed a novel step for shaping the dendritic morphologies of MCs.
