Cholinergic development in chick optic tectum and retina reaggregated cell cultures.

Abstract:

:The developmental profiles of acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase in chick optic tectum and retina cell aggregates, over a 30-day period, have been determined and compared with the corresponding developmental curves obtained in vivo. Both acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase activities in retina cell aggregates and the acetylcholinesterase activity in optic tectum cell aggregates usually lie between 40 and 90% of the values measured in vivo for the same cell (tissue) type and developmental age. However, the choline acetyltransferase activity in tectum aggregates increases only during the first 7 days of culture, and then decreases to reach a low value of 8% of that measured in vivo, by day 24. This fact, which is associated with widespread degeneration and cell death, could be attributed to the condition of natural deafferentiation occurring in a tectum cell aggregate. A parallel has been drawn between this behavior of a tectum cell aggregate and the effect of early embryonic eye removal on the development of the contralateral optic tectum in vivo. Thus, the tectum may have a biphasic pattern of development, with an autonomous period of growth of about 2 wk, followed by an afference-dependent phase, while the retina behaves, from a cholinergic point of view, as a relatively self-sufficient structure.
