Immunocytochemical localization by electron microscopy of 2'3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase in developing oligodendrocytes of normal and mutant brain

Oligodendrocytes or their putative progenitors were the only cells found to be immunoreactive to polyclonal antisera against the enzyme 2'3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP) in developing and mature brains of rats and mice, as visualized by light and electron microscopy. Prior to myelination (day 6), oligodendrocytes of the corpus callosum have reticular networks of CNP-containing filopodia, in addition to abundant CNP throughout the cytoplasm. Some glioblast-like cells of the subventricular zone are also immunoreactive to anti-CNP, suggesting that, as progenitors of oligodendroglia, they express this myelination-related protein as one of the earliest events in myelinogenesis. Following the commencement of myelination (day 15), many oligodendrocytes lose much of their lacelike network of fine projections, possessing, instead, larger CNP-filled processes that extend to myelin-bearing fibers. CNP was always found only in the cytoplasm-containing compartments of the cells and myelin sheaths; neither lamellae nor cellular membranes were immunostained. These data support our contention that CNP is not an intrinsic membrane protein, despite its strong interaction with membrane components when cells are disrupted. In mutant (mld) mice (day 25), the many distended and uncompacted oligodendroglial processes that invest axons with only a few turns of membrane contained cytoplasmic CNP, accounting for the elevated levels of CNP activity previously noted in tissue fractions.
