Cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) require the primary cilium to proliferate in response to Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) during cerebellar development. As aberrant proliferation of GNPs may lead to SHH-type medulloblastoma (SHH-MB), a pediatric brain tumor, understanding which mechanisms control ciliogenesis in GNPs represents a major interest in the field. Here, we show that the proneural bHLH transcription factor Atoh1 controls the presence of primary cilia in GNPs both in vitro and in vivo, thus maintaining GNPs responsive to the mitogenic effects of SHH. Indeed, loss of primary cilia induced via knockdown of specific ciliary components (e.g. Kif3a and Ift88) abolishes the ability of Atoh1 to keep GNPs in proliferation in vivo. Mechani...
