Using the oligosphere strategy (V, Avellana-Adalid et al., 1996, J, Neurosci, Res. 45, 558-570), we compared the migratory behavior of oligodendrocyte preprogenitors (OPP) that expressed the polysialylated form of the neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) and of GD3-positive oligodendrocyte progenitors (OP). To study the role of PSA in OPP migration, we used endoneuraminidase-N, which specifically cleaves PSA from NCAM. Kinetic data showed that (i) migration velocity decreased with time and was favored on polyornithine compared to Matrigel; (ii) cells emerging from spheres enriched in PSA-NCAMC OPP migrated farther than those from spheres enriched in GD3(+) OF, their migration being enhanced by the addition of growth factors; (iii) removal of PSA from NCAM moderately reduced OPP migration and induced their differentiation in GD3(+) OP and GFAP(+) astrocytes; (iv) blocking integrins reduced their migration, suggesting an alternative mechanism of migration. Altogether these data illustrate that motility and differentiation of OPP involve the combinatorial action of PSA-NCAM, molecules of the ECM and their receptors, and growth factors.
