The nuclear protein Ki67 is expressed during all active phases of the cell cycle. Three weeks of dietary zinc deficiency reduced the number of Ki67-positive cells in the SGZ and GCL of the dentate, suggesting that zinc is required for neuronal precursor cell proliferation in vivo. This conclusion is supported by the finding that zinc restriction of human neuronal precursors in culture decreased the number of cells that entered S-phase, as evidenced by a reduction in BrdU labeling.
