Schematic representation of the expression pattern of Np95 in embryonic brain and adult hippocampal DG. (A) NS/PCs acquire the pluripotency to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes during embryonic development. Np95 is specifically expressed in NS/PCs and not expressed in their completely differentiated neural cell progeny. (B) Schematic diagram illustrating the current view of lineage relationships and marker expression during adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis occurs in 5 stages: [1] activation of quiescent radial glia-like cells (type 1 (change of morphology from radial to horizontal)) in the SGZ; [2] proliferation of precursor and intermediate progenitors (type 2a, 2b, transit-amplifying cells); [3] generation of neuroblasts (type 3); [4] differentiation into immature neurons; [5] maturation of immature neurons. Np95 is preferentially expressed in type 2a transit-amplifying NS/PCs. Circular arrows indicate the frequency of cell division. Solid arrows show frequently dividing cells compared with dashed arrows. ML: molecular layer; GCL: granule cell layer; SGZ: subgranular zone.
