In the postembryonic zebrafish forebrain, subpial locations of neurogenesis do exist in the early cerebellar external granular layer, and--unusually among vertebrates--in the primordial pretectal (M1) and preglomerular (M2) Anlagen as shown here with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)/Hu-immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization of neuroD. An intermediate BrdU incubation time of 12-16 h reveals in addition to proliferative ventricularly located cells those in M1 and M2. This BrdU saturation-labeling shows--in conjunction with a Hu-assay demonstrating earliest neuronal differentiation--that proliferating cells in M1 and M2 represent neuronal progenitors. This is demonstrated by single BrdU-labeled and double BrdU-/Hu-labeled cells in these aggregates. Further, expression of NeuroD--a marker for freshly determined neuronal cells--confirms this unusual subpial postembryonic forebrain neurogenesis.
在胚胎后期的斑马鱼前脑中,神经发生的软膜下位置确实存在于早期小脑外颗粒层,而且——在脊椎动物中不同寻常的是——存在于原顶盖前区(M1)和前肾小球原基(M2),此处通过5-溴-2'-脱氧尿苷(BrdU)/Hu免疫细胞化学以及NeuroD原位杂交得以显示。12至16小时的中间BrdU孵育时间除了能显示位于脑室的增殖细胞外,还能显示M1和M2中的增殖细胞。这种BrdU饱和标记结合显示最早神经元分化的Hu检测表明,M1和M2中的增殖细胞代表神经元祖细胞。这些聚集体中单个BrdU标记细胞以及双BrdU-/Hu标记细胞证实了这一点。此外,NeuroD(一种用于新确定的神经元细胞的标志物)的表达证实了这种不同寻常的胚胎后期前脑软膜下神经发生。
