Neural stem cells play pivotal roles during prenatal development and throughout life. Here, we report that Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) functions as a suppressor during brain neurogenesis in the adult mouse. PirB expression increased with age during development, and its deficiency promoted neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we detected an increase in Type 1 neural stem cells in PirB-deficient mice compared to their wild-type littermates. PirB deficiency promoted stemness marker gene expression of Sox2 and KLF4 by activating Akt1 phosphorylation. These findings suggest that PirB inhibits the self-renewal and differentiation capacities of neural stem cells. Thus, PirB may have the potential to serve as a therapeutic target for treatment of reduced neurogenesis in adults due to aging or other pathological conditions.
