Abstract：
:At the premyelinating stage, the Schwann cells of peripheral nerves are able to recognize the axon, to arrange themselves along it in a nonoverlapping manner, and finally to establish a one-to-one cell-axon relationship. The mechanism that regulates these processes is not known in detail. We found the existence of a significant Schwann cell apoptosis in vivo of rat postnatal sciatic nerve, peaking around postnatal day 3. More than 50% of the neonatal Schwann cells cultured in axon-free medium undergo a rapid apoptosis. The apoptosis can be suppressed by addition of survival factors such as Neu differentiation factors or by increasing the adhesion of Schwann cells to substratum. We suggest that in neonatal nerves in vivo, Schwann cells are highly susceptible to apoptosis, but they are saved from death by contact with axons. The dramatic increase in number of Schwann cells between postnatal day 0 and 3 overcomes the number of axons available for them. Consequently the Schwann cells that fail to contact an axon undergo apoptosis. In conclusion, the number of Schwann cells in the developing nerves is regulated by the apoptosis and clearly depends on the survival signals from axons.
