ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of fragile X mental retardation protein（FMRP）on the development and migration of cerebellar neurons in mouse model.Methods Plasmids containing FMRPmutant-EGFP or EGFP were established and transfected into the lateral ventricle of the embryo mouse.Fragile X syndrome（FXS）genotype of the mouse model was identified.Nissl staining and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to assess the changes in neuron development and migration.Results In the experimental group,Nissl staining showed that the deep cerebellar neuclei contracted and divided by white matter,and the non-polarized Purkinje cells retained in internal granular layer;while immunofluorescence staining showed that Tbr2-positive unipolar brush cells changed the migration pathway and accumulated in the ventricular zone.Conclusion Cerebellar neurons showed abnormal formation and migration with the absence of FMRP.
