| Abstract | DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) frequently occur in rapidly dividing cells such as proliferating progenitors during central nervous system development. If they cannot be repaired, these lesions will cause cell death. The non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway is the only pathway available to repair DSBs in post-mitotic neurons. The non-homologous end joining factor 1 (Nhej1) protein is a key component of the NHEJ pathway. Nhej1 interacts with Xrcc4 and Lig4 to repair DSBs. Loss of function of Xrcc4 or Lig4 is embryonic lethal in the mouse while the loss of Nhej1 is not. Surprisingly, the brains of Nhej1-deficient mice appear to be normal although NHEJ1 deficiency in humans causes severe neurological dysfunction and microcephaly. Here, we studied the consequences of Nhej1 dysfunction for the development of the cerebral cortex using in utero electroporation of inactivating small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in the developing rat brain. We found that decreasing Nhej1 expression during neuronal migration phases causes severe neuronal migration defects visualized at embryonic stages by an accumulation of heterotopic neurons in the intermediate zone. Knocked-down cells die by 7 days after birth and the brain regions where RNA interference was achieved are structurally abnormal, suffering from a reduction of the width of the external cortical layers. These results indicate that the Nhej1 protein is necessary for proper rat cortical development. Neurons unable to properly repair DNA DSBs are unable to reach their final destination during the development and undergo apoptosis, leading to an abnormal cortical development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
