Mitotic Activity and DNA Maintenance of Adult Neural Stem Cells is Regulated by Beclin1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY Beclin1 is a tumor suppressor gene that can regulate proliferation under pathological conditions. Whether Beclin1 has a role in regulating proliferation in physiological conditions remains unknown. Here, through the creation of an inducible transgenic mouse that removes Beclin1 from adult neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) and their progeny we uncovered that Beclin1 is required cell-autonomously to sustain proliferating NSCPs in vivo and ex vivo . Flow cytometry analysis and single-cell RNA-sequencing show that Beclin1 is required for mitosis. Additional analysis of the proliferating NSPCs resolved by stage of cell cycle uncovered that Beclin1-null cells have a distinct differential developmental trajectory accompanied by downregulation of genes involved in chromosomal maintenance and upregulation of cell stress genes upon cell cycle exit. These effects align with DNA damage in Beclin1-null cells and ultimately result in less adult-born granular neurons. Together these data identify Beclin1 as a novel regulator of mitosis in adult NSPCs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
