Abstract
In the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone of the brain, neurogenesis occurs throughout one's lifespan. Neural stem cells (NSCs) in these regions divide to maintain their stem cell pools as well as differentiate into neurons and glial cells. To monitor cell division, a thymidine analogue such as 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) has been used. In some cases, EdU was applied to label newly born neurons. Here, we report about the effects of EdU on the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs cultured from mouse SVZ. First, when NSCs were cultured in a proliferation medium containing EdU for 24 hr, they did not generate any neurons under the following differentiation conditions. When EdU was applied to the proliferating NSCs for 1 hr prior to differentiation, neurogenesis was still substantially reduced. Second, EdU decreased cell proliferation of NSCs in dose- and time-dependent manners. Finally, EdU inhibited differentiation into oligodendrocyte lineage, while the number of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes increased. To our knowledge, these findings are the first to show the effects of EdU on the differentiation of SVZ NSCs and suggest that cell division is necessary for differentiation into neurons and oligodendrocytes.
