Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) persist in substantial
numbers in the adult brain in a quiescent state suggesting that they
may provide a source of new oligodendrocytes after injury. To determine
whether adult OPCs have the capacity to divide rapidly, we have
developed a method to highly purify OPCs from adult optic nerve and
have directly compared their properties with their perinatal counterparts. When cultured in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF),
an astrocyte-derived mitogen, perinatal OPCs divided approximately once
per day, whereas adult OPCs divided only once every 3 or 4 d. The
proliferation rate of adult OPCs was not increased by addition of
fibroblast growth factor (FGF) or of the neuregulin glial growth factor
2 (GGF2), two mitogens that are normally produced by retinal ganglion
cells. cAMP elevation has been shown previously to be essential for
Schwann cells to survive and divide in response to GGF2 and other
mitogens. Similarly we found that when cAMP levels were elevated, GGF2
alone was sufficient to induce perinatal OPCs to divide slowly,
approximately once every 4 d, but adult OPCs still did not divide.
When PDGF was combined with GGF2 and cAMP elevation, however, the adult
OPCs began to divide rapidly. These findings indicate that adult OPCs
are intrinsically different than perinatal OPCs. They are not senescent
cells, however, because they retain the capacity to divide rapidly.
Thus, after demyelinating injuries, enhanced axonal release of GGF2 or
a related neuregulin might collaborate with astrocyte-derived PDGF to
induce rapid division of adult OPCs.
