Programmed cell death during development resulting from the lack of
appropriate survival factors has been demonstrated in both neurons and
oligodendrocytes and occurs mostly in the form of apoptosis. We now
demonstrate that Schwann cells in the rat sciatic nerve undergo
apoptosis during early postnatal development and that the amount of
apoptosis is markedly increased by axotomy. The apoptotic Schwann cells
express the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor but not
myelin-related proteins, indicating that they are in the premyelinating
state. Apoptosis resulting from normal development or from axotomy can
be inhibited markedly by exogenous neuregulin. Consistent with this,
the neuregulin receptor components erbB2 and
erbB3 are expressed and phosphorylated in developing
sciatic nerve. These data suggest that Schwann cell number in
developing peripheral nerve is regulated by apoptosis through
competition for axonally derived neuregulin.
