The reelin signaling pathway regulates laminar positioning of radially migrating neurons during cortical development. It has been suggested that reelin secreted by Cajal-Retzius cells in the marginal zone could provide either a stop or an attractant signal for migratory neurons expressing reelin receptors, but the proposed models fail to explain recent experimental findings. Here we provide evidence that the reelin receptor machinery, including the lipoprotein receptors ApoER2 and VLDLR along with the cytoplasmic adaptor protein Dab1, is located in radial glia precursors whose processes span the entire cortical wall from the ventricular zone to the pial surface. Moreover, in reeler mice, defective in reelin, decreased levels of Dab1 in the ventricular zone correspond to an accumulation of the protein in radial end-feet beneath the pia matter. Our results support that neural stem cells receive a functional reelin signal. They are also consistent with a working model of reelin action, according to which reelin signaling on the newborn neuron-inherited radial process regulates perikaryal translocation and positioning.
