Seasonal remodeling of the progenitor pool and its distribution in the ewe mediobasal hypothalamus.
Cell and Tissue Research 2023 Februrary 17
Recent studies have reported the presence of adult neurogenesis in the arcuate nucleus periventricular space (pvARH) and in the median eminence (ME), two structures involved in reproductive function. In sheep, a seasonal mammal, decreasing daylight in autumn induces a higher neurogenic activity in these two structures. However, the different types of neural stem and progenitor cells (NSCs/NPCs) that populate the arcuate nucleus and median eminence, as well as their location, have not been evaluated. Here, using semi-automatic image analyzing processes, we identified and quantified the different populations of NSCs/NPCs, showing that, during short days, higher densities of [SOX2 +] cells are found in pvARH and ME. In the pvARH, higher densities of astrocytic and oligodendrocitic progenitors mainly contribute to these variations. The different populations of NSCs/NPCs were mapped according to their position relative to the third ventricle and their proximity to the vasculature. We showed that [SOX2 +] cells extended deeper into the hypothalamic parenchyma during short days. Similarly, [SOX2 +] cells were found further from the vasculature in the pvARH and the ME, at this time of year, indicating the existence of migratory signals. The expression levels of neuregulin transcripts (NRGs), whose proteins are known to stimulate proliferation and adult neurogenesis and to regulate progenitor migration, as well as the expression levels of ERBB mRNAs, cognate receptors for NRGs, were assessed. We showed that mRNA expression changed seasonally in pvARH and ME, suggesting that the ErbB-NRG system is potentially involved in the photoperiodic regulation of neurogenesis in seasonal adult mammals.
