|abstract=Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) play significant roles in various biological processes. There is a wealth of circumstantial and experimental evidence suggesting the roles of HS in mammalian neural development. HS synthesis is governed by a series of enzymes. Among them, two enzymes, [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]], catalyze polymerization of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, the crucial step of HS synthesis. To obtain insight into the roles of HS in neural development, we examined the spatiotemporal expression patterns of [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] during mice brain development. RT-PCR analyses showed that expression of [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] peaks during early postnatal period in the cerebrum and around birth in the cerebellum. In situ hybridization revealed that in the embryonic brain, [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] were localized primarily in the neuroepithelial cells surrounding the lateral ventricles, the mesencephalic vesicle, and the fourth ventricle. In the early postnatal stage, intense expression of [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] was observed in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus formation. In the postnatal cerebellum, expression of [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] was mainly observed in external and internal granular layers. Our results demonstrate that [[EXT1]] and [[EXT2]] are highly expressed in the developing brain, and that their expression is developmentally regulated, suggesting that HS is involved in various neurodevelopmental processes.
