Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons migrate from the olfactory placode to the forebrain in association with vomeronasal nerves (VNN) that express the polysialic acid-rich form of the neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM). Two approaches were used to investigate the role of PSA-NCAM: injection of mouse embryos with endoneuraminidase N, followed by the analysis of LHRH cell positions, and examination of LHRH cell positions in mutant mice deficient in the expression of NCAM or the NCAM-180 isoform, which carries nearly all PSA in the brain. The enzymatic removal of PSA at embryonic day 12 significantly inhibited the migration of nearly half of the LHRH neuron population, without affecting the VNN tract itself. Surprisingly, the absence of NCAM or NCAM-180 did not produce this effect. However, a shift in the route of migration, resulting in an excess number of LHRH cells in the accessory olfactory bulb, was observed in the NCAM-180 mutant. Furthermore, it was found that PSA expressed by the proximal VNN and its distal branch leading to the accessory bulb, but not the branch leading to the forebrain, was associated with the NCAM-140 isoform and thus was retained in the NCAM-180 mutant. These results provide two types of evidence that PSA-NCAM plays a role in LHRH cell migration: promotion of cell movement along the VNN tract that is sensitive to acute (enzymatic), but not chronic (genetic), removal of PSA-NCAM, and a preference of a subset of migrating LHRH cells for a PSA-positive axon branch over a PSA-negative branch in the NCAM-180 mutant.
