Lis1 is one of the main genes related to type 1 lissencephaly, a severe brain
malformation characterized by the absence of gyri in the cerebral cortex and
defective neuronal migration in the embryonic stage, with a predisposition to mental
illness. This malformation is related to Miller-Dieker syndrome, whose patients
present clinical symptoms such as epilepsy, recurrent seizures, mental retardation,
and a predisposition to develop psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia (SZ),
since this disease could be caused by neurodevelopmental dysregulation. .
Studies in mice in which the first coding exon of Lis1 has been deleted, obtaining a
murine model (Lis1/sLis1), revealed an increase in the expression of c-Fos
(proto-oncogene used as a marker of neuronal activity) in the medial prefrontal
cortex (mPFC), the hippocampus and other areas related to the limbic system. These
findings suggest the possibility of using this model as a mouse model of SZ.
In this project, a study of neuronal activity has been carried out comparing the
expression of c-Fos+ cells between the supra-pyramidal (DGsp) and infra-pyramidal
(DGip) layers of the dentate gyrus (DG) of Lis1/sLis1 mutant mice and mice control
w.t. The results indicate that the distribution of neurons with increased excitability is
heterogeneously distributed within the transversal axis of the DG, the intrinsic
heterogeneity in terms of the functionality and neuroanatomy of its sheets may
explain the differences found in our research and could relate the pathophysiology of
neurological diseases such as SZ and the mutations produced in the Lis1/sLis1
model, suggesting a continuation of the lines of research that include the Lis1/sLis1
model as a model of SZ
