Effect of cytosine arabinoside on rat cerebral explants: fibroblasts and reactive microglial cells as the primary cellular barrier to neurite growth.

Abstract:

:Rat cerebral explants were cultured in the presence or absence of the mitotic inhibitor cytosine arabinoside (AraC) to investigate whether reports of increased neurite outgrowth may be primarily related to a decreased incidence of fibroblastic-reactive microglial cells. Treated explants were exposed to AraC from 7 to 10 days in vitro (DIV) and processed for transmission electron microscopy at 18 DIV. Morphometric analysis of the outgrowth zone revealed a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of fibroblastic-reactive microglial cells (from 12 to 0%), and a significant increase in the incidence of protoplasmic astrocytic-epithelial cells (from 82 to 96%), for AraC-treated explants compared to controls. In contrast, the incidence of fibrous astrocytes was similar to that of control explants (4 and 6%, respectively). Thus, it appears that AraC may primarily enhance neurite growth by curtailing the proliferation of fibroblastic-reactive microglial cells. These results suggest that fibroblastic-reactive microglial cells, rather than fibrous astrocytes, may constitute the primary cellular barrier to neurite growth.
