Mitochondrial dysfunction has been increasingly linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability, childhood epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder; conditions also associated with cortical GABAergic interneuron dysfunction. Although interneurons have some of the highest metabolic demands in the postnatal brain, the importance of mitochondria during interneuron development is unknown. Remarkably, we find that the migration of interneurons is exquisitely sensitive to perturbations in oxidative phosphorylation. Both pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of Adenine Nucleotide Transferase 1 (Ant1) preferentially disrupts the non-radial, long-distance migration of interneurons from the basal forebrain to the cortex, thus reducing the numbers of cortical interneurons. These results provide a novel mechanism for the pathogenesis of neurocognitive disorders associated with mitochondrial dysfunction or other causes of oxidative stress, and suggest a common mechanistic pathway upon which multiple developmental and metabolic perturbations may converge.

Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors occurring in the setting of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are thought to be the result of malignant transformation of a preexisting (plexiform) neurofibroma. This study compared features of MPNSTs and plexiform neurofibromas in the setting of NF1 patients. Design: 12 cases of MPNSTs arising within preexisting plexiform neurofibromas were selected. For each case RNA was isolated from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) neurofibroma and the matched MPNST. The resulting 24 samples were used to analyze the expression of 519 kinase genes using Nanostring nCounter technology. Differentially expressed kinases between neurofibromas and MPNSTs were assessed. The protein expression of some identified genes was then analyzed by immunohistochemical staining of tissue array slides. Results: Principle component analysis of kinase expression demonstrates that differential expression of kinase genes is sufficient to separate most of MPNSTs from neurofibromas. Interestingly, two of the MPNSTs clustered more closely with neurofibromas than the remaining MPNSTs. These were the only MPNSTs that were not clearly high-grade. The neurofibromas formed a tighter cluster, while MPNSTs were more heterogenous. Genes that were differentially expressed between neurofibroma and MPNST from the same individual were identified by ranking fold changes. Although there was extensive diversity in these lists, reflecting the diversity of MPNSTs, a few common genes were apparent. These included the genes of kinases important in the process of chromosome segregation. Differences in the expression of two of these latter genes were confirmed by immunohistochemical studies that showed significance differences in staining between neurofibromas and MPNSTs. Conclusion: The pattern of kinase gene expression performed on FFPE samples using this platform can separate MPNSTs and neurofibromas. Genes important for mitotic regulation may be important in the process of malignant transformation of neurofibromas.
