In vertebrates, interneurons of the olfactory bulb (OB) are
generated postnatally and throughout life at the subventricular zone of the forebrain. The neuronal precursors migrate
tangentially through the forebrain using a well defined pathway, the
rostral migratory stream (RMS), and a particular mode of migration in a
chain-like organization. A severe size reduction of the OB represents the most striking morphological phenotype in neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-deficient mice. This defect has been traced back to a migration deficit of the precursors in the RMS and linked to the
lack of the polysialylated form of NCAM. In this study we investigate
the morphological alterations and functional properties of the RMS in
mice totally devoid of all isoforms of NCAM and polysialic acid (PSA).
We show that a morphologically altered, but defined and continuous
pathway exists in mutants, and we present in vivo and
in vitro evidence that PSA-NCAM in the RMS is not essential for the formation and migration of chains. Instead, we find a
massive gliosis associated with the formation of membrane specializations in a heterotypic manner, linking precursors to astrocytes. This finding and the over-representation and
defasciculation of axons in the pathway suggest that important
interactions between migrating cells and their stationary environment
are perturbed in the mutants. Finally, we used transplantation
experiments to demonstrate that lack of PSA-NCAM leads to a decrease
but not a total blockade of migration and demonstrate that the mutant RMS is functional in transporting normal neuronal precursors to the OB.
