Highly polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM-H) is expressed by newly generated granule cells in the dentate gyrus of the adult rat

Department of Anatomy, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
We have found in the adult rat that the persistent expression of a highly
polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM-H) that is generally
specific to developing tissues, remains restrictively in the cells of the
deepest portion of the dentate granular layer. Since the granule cells are
known to continue to be generated in this region during the adult period,
we have tried to determine whether NCAM-H is expressed by newly generated
granule cells. Immunoelectron microscopic observation revealed that about
half of the NCAM-H-expressing cells had the features of dentate granule
cells, and that the rest of these cells appeared to be immature cells.
Double immunostaining for NCAM-H and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
revealed that the NCAM-H- expressing cells differed from GFAP-positive
glial cells. In rats injected with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) at
post-natal day 35, double immunostaining for NCAM-H and BrdU demonstrated
that the BrdU- labeled cells expressed NCAM-H at 12 d after the injection
but not at 80 d. These results provide the first direct evidence that
NCAM-H is expressed transiently by newly generated granule cells that may
add new neuronal circuits to the adult hippocampal formation.
