In the adult rodent brain, new neurons are born in two germinal regions that are
associated with blood vessels, and blood vessels and vessel-derived factors are
thought to regulate the activity of adult neural stem cells. Recently, it has
been proposed that a vascular niche also regulates prenatal neurogenesis. Here we
identify the mouse embryo hindbrain as a powerful model to study embryonic
neurogenesis and define the relationship between neural progenitor cell (NPC)
behavior and vessel growth. Using this model, we show that a subventricular
vascular plexus (SVP) extends through a hindbrain germinal zone populated by NPCs
whose peak mitotic activity follows a surge in SVP growth. Hindbrains genetically
defective in SVP formation owing to constitutive NRP1 loss showed a premature
decline in both NPC activity and hindbrain growth downstream of precocious cell
cycle exit, premature neuronal differentiation, and abnormal mitosis patterns.
Defective regulation of NPC activity was not observed in mice lacking NRP1
expression by NPCs, but instead in mice lacking NRP1 selectively in endothelial
cells, yet was independent of vascular roles in hindbrain oxygenation. Therefore,
germinal zone vascularization sustains NPC proliferation in the prenatal brain.
