During rodent cortex development, cells born in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) of the basal telencephalon reach the embryonic cortex by tangential migration and differentiate as interneurons. Migrating MGE cells exhibit a saltatory progression of the nucleus and continuously extend and retract branches in their neuritic arbor. We have analyzed the migration cycle of these neurons using in vitro models. We show that the nucleokinesis in MGE cells comprises two phases. First, cytoplasmic organelles migrate forward, and second, the nucleus translocates toward these organelles. During the first phase, a large swelling that contains the centrosome and the Golgi apparatus separates from the perinuclear compartment and moves rostrally into the leading neurite, up to 30 mum from the waiting nucleus. This long-distance migration is associated with a splitting of the centrioles that line up along a linear Golgi apparatus. It is followed by the second, dynamic phase of nuclear translocation toward the displaced centrosome and Golgi apparatus. The forward movement of the nucleus is blocked by blebbistatin, a specific inhibitor of nonmuscle myosin II. Because myosin II accumulates at the rear of migrating MGE cells, actomyosin contraction likely plays a prominent role to drive forward translocations of the nucleus toward the centrosome. During this phase of nuclear translocation, the leading growth cone either stops migrating or divides, showing a tight correlation between leading edge movements and nuclear movements.
