Oligodendrocyte-type 2 astrocyte (O-2A) lineage cells are derived
from multipotential stem cells of the developing CNS. Precursors of
O-2A progenitors express the polysialylated (PSA) form of the neural
cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and are detected in neonatal rat
brain glial cultures. It is unclear how such PSA-NCAM+
"pre-progenitors" are related to neural stem cells and whether they
still have the potential to differentiate along several neural
lineages. Here we isolated PSA-NCAM+ pre-progenitor cells from glial
cultures by immunopanning and found that most of these cells expressed nestin and PDGF-receptor- but not O-2A antigens. PSA-NCAM+ cells synthesized transcripts for fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors 1, 2, and 3 and responded to FGF2 by survival and proliferation, growing
into large clusters resembling neural spheres. FGF2-induced proliferation of PSA-NCAM+ pre-progenitors was significantly enhanced by thyroid hormone (T3), which on its own did not increase cell survival or mitosis. After adhesion and withdrawal of the mitogen, spheres generated mostly oligodendrocytes and astrocytes but very rarely neurons. PSA-NCAM immunopanned cells grown in epidermal growth
factor (EGF) also adopted a mostly glial fate after
differentiation. In contrast, PSA-NCAM-negative cells and striatal
neonatal stem cells, grown in EGF or FGF2, generated the three CNS cell
types. Like neural stem cells, PSA-negative cells generated more
oligodendrocytes and fewer neurons when expanded in FGF2 and T3. Thus
emergence of PSA-NCAM at the surface of neonatal brain precursors
coincides with their restriction to a glial fate. T3 modulates these
events by enhancing PSA-NCAM+ pre-progenitor growth in FGF2 and
favoring an oligodendrocyte fate.
Key words:
oligodendrocyte precursors; newborn rat brain; polysialylated form of NCAM; glial fate; astrocytes; thyroid
hormone
