The role of depolarization in the survival and differentiation of cerebellar granule cells in culture

V Gallo, A Kingsbury, R Balazs and OS Jorgensen

Cultures greatly enriched in granule cells from early postnatal cerebellum (P8) were grown in a medium containing fetal calf serum. Under the conditions used, nerve cells died, usually within a week, unless the K+ concentration in the medium was greater than or equal to 20 mM. The requirement for elevated [K+]e was manifested by about 3 d in vitro, and after this time continuous exposure to high [K+]e was essential for the survival of the granule cells. The initial morphological and biochemical maturation of the granule cells was similar in the presence and the absence of elevated [K+]e, suggesting that the dependence on depolarizing conditions develops in parallel with the expression of the differentiated characteristics of the cells. The positive effect of elevated [K+]e on granule cell survival was not influenced by preventing bioelectric activity in the cultures with TTX and xylocaine. On the other hand, depolarization-induced transmembrane Ca2+ flux was essential in securing the maintenance of the granule cells. Depolarized nerve cells were compromised when Ca2+ entry was blocked by elevated Mg2+, EGTA, or organic Ca2+ antagonists, while dihydropyridine Ca2+ agonists [BAY K 8644, (+)-(S)-202 79 1 and CGP 28392] were potent agents preventing nerve cell loss in the presence of 15 mM [K+]e, which was ineffective on its own. Calmodulin inhibitors (1 microM trifluoperazine or calmidazolium) blocked the beneficial effect of K+-induced depolarization on granule cells. The comparison of the timing of the differentiation and innervation of the postmitotic granule cells in vivo with the development of the K+ dependence in vitro would indicate that depolarization of the granule neurons in culture mimics the influence of the physiological stimulation in vivo through excitatory amino acid receptors, including N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, involving Ca2+ entry and the activation of a Ca2+/calmodulin- dependent protein kinase.
