The proper development of the cerebral cortex is essential for brain formation and functioning. O-GlcNAcylation, an important posttranslational modification, regulates the pathways critical for neuronal health and the survival of the cerebral cortex in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the role of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating cerebral cortical development at the embryonic and early postnatal (0-21 days) stages is still largely unknown. Here we report that the selective deletion of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) in neural stem cells (NSCs) in mice led to a series of severe brain developmental deficits, including dramatic shrinkage of cortical and hippocampal histoarchitecture, widespread neuronal apoptosis, decrease in cell proliferation, induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and inhibition of neuronal dendritic and axonal differentiation. The pathology of corticogenesis deficits caused by OGT deletion may largely rely on complicated biological processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Our results suggest that dysfunctional O-GlcNAcylation in NSCs may be an important contributor to neurodevelopmental diseases. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
