Neurons continue to be born in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the
lateral ventricles of adult mice. These cells migrate as a network of
chains through the SVZ and the rostral migratory stream (RMS) into the
olfactory bulb (OB), where they differentiate into mature neurons. The
OB is the only known target for these neuronal precursors. Here, we
show that, after elimination of the OB, the SVZ and RMS persist and
become dramatically larger. The proportion of dividing
[bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeled] or dying (pyknotic or terminal
deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated UTP nick
end-labeled) cells in the RMS was not significantly affected at 3 d or 3 weeks after bulbectomy (OBX). However, by 3 months after
OBX, the percentage of BrdU-labeled cells in the RMS decreased by half
and that of dying cells doubled. Surprisingly, the rostral migration of
precursors continued along the RMS after OBX. This was demonstrated by
focal microinjections of BrdU and grafts of SVZ cells carrying LacZ
under the control of a neuron-specific promoter gene. Results indicate
that the OB is not essential for proliferation and the directional
migration of SVZ precursors.
