Abstract
The transcription coactivator CITED1 is an important mediator of transcriptional events regulated by estrogen or TGF-beta. We used in situ hybridization to delineate the distribution of CITED1 mRNA in the adult and developing murine brain and found robust CITED1 expression in ventral hypothalamus and midbrain raphe. The distribution of CITED1 in these regions overlapped the reported expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta. Less intense expression of CITED1 was also evident in medial preoptic area, subfornical organ, thalamus and cerebral cortex. CITED1 mRNA in the arcuate nucleus (an area of active transcriptional modulation by TGF-beta) was evident in postmigratory neurons as early as embryonic day 16. Expression of CITED1 in arcuate continued throughout postnatal development. CITED1 in developing cerebellum was first evident in external granule cells and was transiently expressed in the Purkinje cell/granule cell layer in a temporal pattern similar to estrogen receptor-beta. The spatial and temporal distribution of CITED1 mRNA reported here is consistent with a role for CITED1 in the modulation of transcriptional events mediated by steroid hormone and cytokine signaling pathways.
