Neurons expressing latexin, a carboxypeptidase A inhibitor, are restricted to lateral areas in the cerebral cortex of adult and early postnatal rats. To address the precise timing of cortical regional specification at the cellular level, we monitored latexin expression in developing cortical cells under specific conditions in vitro. Individual cortical cells were labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine in vivo, dissociated and exposed to a defined new environment in a monolayer or a reaggregated-cell culture system. While a substantial fraction of early progenitor cells derived from the lateral cerebral wall became latexin-expressing neurons in both systems, far fewer progenitors from dorsal cortex did so under the same environmental conditions, indicating early establishment of cortical regional specification at the progenitor cell level. Furthermore, it was shown that the probability for postmitotic cells within lateral cortex to become latexin-expressing neurons was influenced by temporally regulated regional environmental signals. These findings suggest that developing cortical cells are progressively specified for a regional molecular phenotype during both their proliferative and postmitotic periods.
