Popis: Next to its well-established role as a myelin-associated neurite growth-inhibitory protein, Nogo-A more recently has emerged as an important modulator of adhesion and migration. However, Nogo-A’s function in adhesion and migration is diverse and strongly dependent on a complex orchestration of cell-intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors. In this letter we summarize the current knowledge on Nogo-A’s role in adhesive and migratory mechanisms. Additionally, we revisit an earlier hypothesis concerning a putative role for Nogo-A as regulator of early post-natal cerebellar granule cell migration. Pulse labeling of proliferating cerebellar granule neurons in early postnatal wild-type and Nogo-A-null mice enabled us to follow their migration dynamics over multiple days. Neither migration speed, nor cell proliferation, or layer area sizes were influenced by Nogo-A deletion, hence suggesting another role for early postnatal Nogo-A expression in the premigratory zone of the external granule layer.
