Summary

Postnatal gliogenesis in the rodent forebrain was studied by infecting subventricular zone cells of either neonates or juvenile rats with replication-deficient retroviruses that encode reporter enzymes, enabling the migration and fate of these germinal zone cells to be traced over the ensuing several weeks. Neither neonatal nor juvenile subventricular zone cells migrated substantially along the rostral-caudal axis. Neonatal subventricular zone cells migrated dorsally and laterally into hemispheric gray and white matter and became both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Juvenile subventricular zone cells migrated into more medial areas of the subcortical white matter and on occasion appeared in the white matter of the contralateral hemisphere, but rarely migrated into the neocortex. Juvenile subventricular zone cells almost exclusively differentiated into oligodendrocytes. Thus, the migratory patterns and the developmental fates of subventricular zone cells change during the first 2 weeks of life. When either neonatal or juvenile subventricular zone cells were labeled in vivo and then removed and cultured, some generated homogeneous clones that contained either astrocytes with a ‘type 1′ phenotype or oligodendrocytes, but some generated heterogeneous clones that contained both glial types. These results provide additional evidence for a common progenitor for astrocytes and oligodendrocytes and strongly suggest that temporally and spatially regulated environmental signals control the destiny of glial progenitors during postnatal development.
