抄録 ヒト胎児胸髄における,radial glial cellの形態および経時的変化を免疫組職学的に検討した。妊娠齢15週,30週,35週ヒト胎児胸髄および15週ヒト胎児終脳を採取し,凍結切片試料,パラフィン切片試料を作製した。これら試料を抗vimentinマウスモノクロナール抗体ではABC法にて,抗GFAPウサギ血清ではPAP法にて染色した。15週ヒト胎児胸髄では,中心管より軟膜表面へ射状に伸びる,GFAP,vimentinともに陽性の線維を認めた。一部にastrocyteへの初期の分化を示す細胞を認めた。15週ヒト胎児終脳において,vimentin,GFAP陽性の線維を認めた。30週ヒト胎児胸髄ではGFAP,vimentinともに陽性の線維を認めるが,15週に比し屈曲蛇行,分枝化は強化調されていた。更にastrocyteへの分化度の増した細胞を多数認めた。35週胎児胸髄では線維の屈曲蛇行,分枝化は更に増加したがvimentinの染色性は減弱し,成熟度の増したastrocytesを多数認めた。以上のことより,1)ヒトradial glial cellはGFAP,vimentin陽性であること,2) radial glial cellは胎齢の増加により vimentin の染色性は減弱すること,3) radial glial cellはastrocyteへ分化すること,4) radial glial cell出現時期は,従来の説より早期であることが示された。
The morphological changes of radial glial cellsin developing human spinal cord have been studied immunohistologically. The specimens extracted from developing human spinal cords, gestational age of 15 weeks, 30 weeks and 35 weeks, were prepared with cryostat for the investigation of anti vimentin mouse monoclonal antibody and of GFAP rabbit serum. We have stained the spe-cimens for vimentin in accordance with ABC method, for GFAP in accordance with PAP me-thod. On gestational age of 15 weeks, the fibers radially oriented from the central canal to pial surface were positive for vimentin and GFAP. Partially, early differentiated astrocytic cells were found. On gestational age of 30 weeks, radi-ally oriented fibers were positive for vimentin and GFAP. They took more tortuous course, bran-ching than those of 15 weeks. More differentiated astrocytic cells were found. On gestational age of 35 weeks, the staining for vimentin was very weak on radially oriented fibers and these fibers were more tortuous, branching than those of 30 weeks. More differentiated astrocytic cells than those of 30 weeks were found in rich amount. From results above, we concluded : 1) Radial glial cells in developing human spinal cord were positive for vimentin and GFAP. 2) They show weaker staining for vimentin in process of gestational age. 3) They differentiate to astrocyte. 4) They appear in earlier stage than suggested by previous reports.
