An immunocytochemical approach to the analysis of the cell division cycle in the rat cerebellar neuroepithelium

Cerebellar neurons are generated from the rhombic lip and the neuroepithelium. In this study, we analyze the histogenesis of the cerebellar neuroepithelium in terms of cellular kinetics. The experimental animals are the offspring of pregnant dams injected with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) on embryonic day 13. We infer the fraction of S-phase cells by examining a range of survival times after a single BrdU-exposure and a cumulative BrdU-labeling sequence, which allow for the derivation of cell-cycle parameters and phase durations. The current results indicate that the dose of BrdU employed (35 mg/kg) provides saturation S-phase labeling from at least 1 h after marker delivery. The duration of G2, mitotic phase, and G1 are 1.2, 0.5, and 6.9 h, respectively. The duration for the S-phase, growth fraction, and the whole cycle are obtained on the basis of two proliferative models, steady-state and exponential growth. Both models provided similar results. In conclusion, our results indicate that the steady-state and the cumulative S-phase labeling paradigms can be adopted to analyze cell cycle parameters in the cerebellar neuroepithelium. Current results can help in understanding the regulatory mechanisms of cerebellar histogenesis and the cell biological mechanisms of the proliferative cycle of the neuroepithelium.
