Summary: Protocadherins (PCDHs) are cell adhesion molecules that regulate many essential neurodevelopmental processes related to neuronal maturation, dendritic arbor formation, axon pathfinding, and synaptic plasticity. Biallelic loss-of-function variants in PCDH12 are associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Despite the highly deleterious outcome resulting from loss of PCDH12, little is known about its role during brain development and disease. Here, we show that PCDH12 loss severely impairs cerebral organoid development, with reduced proliferative areas and disrupted laminar organization. 2D models further show that neural progenitor cells lacking PCDH12 prematurely exit the cell cycle and differentiate earlier when compared with wild type. Furthermore, we show that PCDH12 regulates neuronal migration and suggest that this could be through a mechanism requiring ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding and/or membrane recruitment of cytoskeleton regulators. Our results demonstrate a critical involvement of PCDH12 in cortical organoid development, suggesting a potential cause for the pathogenic mechanisms underlying PCDH12-related NDDs. |
