Development of macroglial cells in rat cerebellum. II. An in situ immunohistochemical study of oligodendroglial lineage from precursor to mature myelinating cell

R Reynolds and GP Wilkin
Department of Biochemistry, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, UK.

Using immunofluorescence with a panel of antibodies that recognize antigens expressed by oligodendroglia, the myelin-producing cells of the CNS, at different stages of differentiation from precursor to mature cell, we have investigated the development of cells of this lineage in cryostat sections of rat cerebellum. Our results are consistent with the view that glial precursors, identified by their expression of the ganglioside GD3, arise in the subependymal layers of the 4th ventricle and migrate to their final position in the cerebellum via the superior medullary velum, and to some extent the peduncles. As the cells reach their final destination they make the transition to recognizable galactocerebroside (GC)-expressing oligodendroglia, via a GD3+/GC+ intermediate. The myelin-associated protein 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNP) appears at the same time as GC, whereas myelin basic protein (MBP) is expressed 2-3 days after GC and CNP, immediately prior to myelin formation. A very clear progression of oligodendroglial differentiation was observed from the SMV into the base of the cerebellum, up into the white matter (WM) tracts of the folia, and then away from this central white matter into the granule cell and Purkinje cell layers, and finally the molecular layer. The time delay between the expression of GC, CNP and MBP was the same for oligodendroglia in all of these layers, suggesting the presence of an intrinsic clock controlling the initial expression of these myelin components. The early appearance of CNP in oligodendroglia suggests a role for this protein in the early stages of myelinogenesis.
