RESUMO
The mammalian subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral wall of the forebrain ventricle retains a population of proliferating neuronal precursors throughout life. Neuronal precursors born in the postnatal and adult SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb where they differentiate into interneurons. Here we tested the potential of mouse postnatal SVZ precursors in the environment of the embryonic brain: (i) a ubiquitous genetic marker, (ii) a neuron-specific transgene, and (iii) a lipophilic-dye were used to follow the fate of postnatal day 5–10 SVZ cells grafted into embryonic mouse brain ventricles at day 15 of gestation. Graft-derived cells were found at multiple levels of the neuraxis, including septum, thalamus, hypothalamus, and in large numbers in the midbrain inferior colliculus. We observed no integration into the cortex. Neuronal differentiation of graft derived cells was demonstrated by double-staining with neuron-specific β-tubulin antibodies, expression of the neuron-specific transgene, and the dendritic arbors revealed by the lipophilic dye. We conclude that postnatal SVZ cells can migrate through and differentiate into neurons within multiple embryonic brain regions other than the olfactory bulb.
