The changes in adhesion between a neuronal cell and a glial cell as a component of the process of hindbrain glial-mediated radial cell migration. [GO_REF:0000021, GOC:cls, GOC:dgh, GOC:dph, GOC:jid, PMID:15157725]
Neuronal-glial interactions play a crucial role in radial cell migration in the hindbrain, a process that is essential for the proper formation of the brain. Radial glial cells, which serve as scaffolding for migrating neurons, extend long processes that traverse the developing hindbrain. These processes provide a path for migrating neurons to follow, ensuring their proper positioning within the brain.
The process of radial cell migration begins with the generation of neurons in the ventricular zone, the innermost layer of the developing brain. These newly generated neurons then migrate radially outwards along the processes of radial glial cells towards their final destination. This migration is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including:
1. **Cell-cell adhesion:** Neurons adhere to the surface of radial glial cells through cell adhesion molecules, such as integrins and cadherins. This adhesion is essential for maintaining the association between migrating neurons and radial glial cells.
2. **Chemotactic guidance:** Migrating neurons are guided by chemoattractants and chemorepellents secreted by radial glial cells and other cells within the hindbrain. These chemical cues act as guiding signals, attracting or repelling neurons towards specific locations.
3. **Mechanical forces:** Radial glial cells also generate mechanical forces that help to guide migrating neurons. These forces may arise from the cytoskeleton of radial glial cells or from the movement of fluid within the brain.
4. **Signaling pathways:** Neuronal-glial interactions also involve the exchange of signaling molecules. For instance, radial glial cells can release growth factors that promote neuronal survival and migration. In turn, migrating neurons can release signaling molecules that influence the behavior of radial glial cells.
The interaction between neurons and radial glial cells is a highly dynamic process. As neurons migrate, they may alter the morphology and behavior of radial glial cells. This dynamic interplay ensures that migrating neurons are properly guided to their final destinations within the hindbrain.
Furthermore, the interplay between neurons and radial glia is not just about guiding neurons. It's also about ensuring the proper development of the radial glial cells themselves. Neurons can signal to radial glia, promoting their proliferation and differentiation. In this way, the migration of neurons itself contributes to the overall development of the hindbrain.'
