    • After neurotrauma, ischemia, or neurodegenerative disease, astrocytes upregulate their expression of the intermediate filament proteins glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin (Vim), and nestin. This response, reactive gliosis, is attenuated in GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) mice, resulting in the promotion of synaptic regeneration after neurotrauma and improved integration of retinal grafts. Here we assessed whether GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) astrocytes affect the differentiation of neural progenitor cells. In coculture with GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) astrocytes, neural progenitor cells increased neurogenesis by 65% and astrogenesis by 124%. At 35 days after transplantation of neural progenitor cells into the hippocampus, adult GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) mice had more transplant-derived neurons and astrocytes than wild-type controls, as well as increased branching of neurite-like processes on transplanted cells. Wnt3 immunoreactivity was readily detected in hippocampal astrocytes in wild-type but not in GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) mice. These findings suggest that GFAP(-/-)Vim(-/-) astrocytes allow more neural progenitor cell-derived neurons and astrocytes to survive weeks after transplantation. Thus, reactive gliosis may adversely affect the integration of transplanted neural progenitor cells in the brain. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

  • Signaling through C5aR is not involved in basal neurogenesis.

    • The complement system, an important part of the innate immune system, provides protection against invading pathogens, in part through its proinflammatory activities. Although most complement proteins are synthesized locally in the brain and the relevant complement receptors are expressed on resident brain cells, little is known about brain-specific role(s) of the complement system. C3a and C5a, complement-derived peptides with anaphylatoxic properties, have been implicated in noninflammatory functions, such as tissue regeneration and neuroprotection. Recently, we have shown that signaling through C3a receptor (C3aR) is involved in the regulation of neurogenesis. In the present study, we assessed basal neurogenesis in mice lacking C5a receptor (C5aR(-/-)) and mice expressing C3a and C5a, respectively in the CNS under the control of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter (C3a/GFAP and C5a/GFAP, respectively) and thus without the requirement for complement activation. We did not observe any difference among C5aR(-/-), C3a/GFAP and C5a/GFAP mice and their respective controls in the number of newly formed neuroblasts and newly formed neurons in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of lateral ventricles and hippocampal dentate gyrus, the two neurogenic niches in the adult brain, or the olfactory bulb, the final destination of new neurons formed in the SVZ. Our results indicate that signaling through C5aR is not involved in basal neurogenesis in adult mice and that basal neurogenesis in adult C3a/GFAP and C5a/GFAP mice is not altered.
