Aberrant reorganization of dentate granule cell axons, the mossy
fibers, occurs in human temporal lobe epilepsy and rodent epilepsy
models. Whether this plasticity results from the remodeling of
preexisting mossy fibers or instead reflects an abnormality of
developing dentate granule cells is unknown. Because these neurons
continue to be generated in the adult rodent and their production
increases after seizures, mossy fibers that arise from either
developing or mature granule cells are potential substrates for this
network plasticity. Therefore, to determine whether seizure-induced, mossy fiber synaptic reorganization arises from either developing or
mature granule cell populations, we used low-dose, whole-brain x-irradiation to eliminate proliferating dentate granule cell progenitors in adult rats. A single dose of 5 Gy irradiation blocked cell proliferation and eliminated putative progenitor cells in the
dentate subgranular proliferative zone. Irradiation 1 d before pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus significantly attenuated dentate
granule cell neurogenesis after seizures. Two irradiations, 1 d
before and 4 d after status epilepticus, essentially abolished dentate granule cell neurogenesis but failed to prevent mossy fiber
reorganization in the dentate molecular layer. These results indicate
that dentate granule cell neurogenesis in the mature hippocampal
formation is vulnerable to the effects of low-dose ionizing
irradiation. Furthermore, the development of aberrant mossy fiber
remodeling in the absence of neurogenesis suggests that mature dentate
granule cells contribute substantially to seizure-induced network reorganization.
