To better define the in vivo role of Raf during chick retinal neurogenesis, we interfered with Raf-dependent signaling during days 4.5 to 7.5 of embryonic development by expressing a dominant negative mutant of c-Raf (DeltaRaf), which blocks Ras-dependent Raf activation, and by overexpressing wild-type c-Raf. DeltaRaf expression induced an increase in cell death by apoptosis, whereas it did not affect overall cell proliferation and differentiation. In parallel, the number of Islet-1/2-positive and TUJ1-positive retinal ganglion cells were diminished in their definitive layer, whereas there was an increase in the number of mislocated Islet-1/2-positive cells. This disturbed morphogenesis correlated with a disruption of the optic fiber layer. Conversely, c-Raf overexpression caused moderate opposite effects on apoptosis. These results frame in vivo early neurogenesis processes in which c-Raf is essential.This study was supported by Dirección General de Investigación y Desarrollo (Spain) Grants P.M.96–0003 (to E.J.d.l.R.), PB97–0143 (to F.d.P.), and P.M.96–0075 to (I.V.-N.).
