Cerebellar granule cell migration and folia development require Mllt11/Af1q/Tcf7c
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The organization of neurons into distinct layers, known as lamination, is a common feature of the nervous system. This process, which arises from the direct coupling of neurogenesis and neuronal migration, plays a crucial role in the development of the cerebellum, a structure exhibiting a distinct folding cytoarchitecture with cells arranged in discrete layers. Disruptions to neuronal migration can lead to various neurodevelopmental disorders, highlighting the significance of understanding the molecular regulation of lamination. We report a role Mllt11/Af1q/Tcf7c (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia; translocated to chromosome 11/All1 fused gene from chromosome 1q, also known as Mllt11 transcriptional cofactor 7; henceforth referred to Mllt11) in the migration of cerebellar granule cells (GCs). We now show that Mllt11 plays a role in both the tangential and radial migration of GCs. Loss of Mllt11 led to an accumulation of GC precursors in the rhombic lip region and a reduction in the number of GCs successfully populating developing folia. Consequently, this results in smaller folia and an overall reduction in cerebellar size. Furthermore, analysis of the anchoring centers reveals disruptions in the perinatal folia cytoarchitecture, including alterations in the Bergmann glia fiber orientation and reduced infolding of the Purkinje cell plate. Lastly, we demonstrate that Mllt11 interacts with non-muscle myosin IIB (NMIIB) and Mllt11 loss-reduced NMIIB expression. We propose that the dysregulation of NMIIB underlies altered GC migratory behavior. Taken together, the findings reported herein demonstrate a role for Mllt11 in regulating neuronal migration within the developing cerebellum, which is necessary for its proper neuroanatomical organization.

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.
