Mammalian neural stem cells can develop into a
variety of neuronal and glial cell types. This involves a highly
coordinated process of differentiation in which the Notch signaling
pathway and the system of helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcriptional
regulators play a key role. By exercising control over proliferation,
initiation of differentiation, neurite outgrowth, and synaptogenesis,
the network of HLH transcription factors regulates the fate of neural stem cells and progenitors. Here we show that the HLH transcription factor HES1 regulates the proliferation of human neural stem cells and
that blocking its expression stimulates the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor
p21CIP1/WAF1. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the
suppression of HES1 expression initiates differentiation of neural stem
cells into neurons, the majority of which develop the GABAergic
phenotype. These findings underscore the importance of the HLH network,
and HES1 in particular, in guiding the phenotypic development of neural
stem cells.
