Abstract:
:Cerebellar cell suspensions were prepared from normal mouse embryos and implanted into the cerebellum of Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) mutant mice, which are characterized by a virtually complete degeneration of Purkinje cells between postnatal day (P) 17 and P45. The expression of immunoreactivity for PEP-19, a developmentally-regulated brain-specific polypeptide, was analyzed in normal mouse cerebellum, as well as in pcd mutants with or without grafts. In the normal cerebellum, PEP-19 immunoreactivity was present in Purkinje cells. In unoperated mutants, 45 days of age or older, Purkinje cells were absent. In grafted pcd mice, numerous PEP-19 immunoreactive, neuroblast-like cells were seen in the graft at 5 days after transplantation. By 9 days, large PEP-19 immunoreactive neurons were found in the host molecular layer; by 17 days after transplantation, such neurons displayed an extensive dendritic tree and resembled differentiated Purkinje cells. The vast majority of PEP-19 immunoreactive cells was located in the molecular layer of the host at 9 days after transplantation and beyond; nonetheless, the same cells extended axonal processes toward the graft, indicating an affinity for co-grafted (possibly deep nuclei) neurons. These results point to the ability of donor Purkinje cells for survival, migration into the host brain and morphological and chemical differentiation following transplantation to the degenerated cerebellar cortex of the recipient mutants.
