- Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Analysis of Adult Neurogenesis Involving Glial and Non-Glial Progenitors in the Cerebellum of Juvenile Chum Salmon .

The organization of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, dark cells, adult-type glial and non-glial progenitors, stellate neurons, and eurydendroid cells (EDCs) in the molecular and granular layers and granular eminences was characterized. The organization of dendritic bouquets of Purkinje cells and climbing fibers was studied for the first time at the ultrastructural level, and the ultrastructural features of mossy fibers and the rosettes they form were characterized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the presence of single and paired adult-type neural stem/progenitor cells (aNSPCs) on the cerebellar surface and stromal clusters of aNSPCs outside the dorsal matrix zone (DMZ). Immunohistochemical (IHC) verification of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) revealed five types of proliferating cells in the cerebellum of juvenile chum salmon: neuroepithelial cells (NECs), glial aNSPCs, and non-glial aNSPCs. A glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive (GFAP) complex consisting of radial glial fibers and aNSPCs was detected in the DMZ. At the same time, a complex of GFAP+ cerebellar afferents, consisting of differentiating mossy and climbing fibers, was found to develop in the cerebellum of juvenile chum salmon. Nestin+ non-glial aNSPCs and small nestin+ resident cells were detected in the dorsal, lateral, and basal areas, as well as in the granular layer (GrL) and granular eminences (GrEm). These cell types may contribute to the homeostatic growth of the cerebellum by acting as both active participants (PCNA+) and resident (silent) aNSPCs. Studying vimentin-positive systems in the cerebellum revealed a widespread presence of proliferating glial aNSPCs that actively contribute to homeostatic growth, as well as small resident immunopositive cells throughout the cerebellum of juvenile chum salmon. Immunolocalization of the neuronal RNA-binding protein marker (HuCD) was detected in numerous molecular layer (ML) cells at the early stages of neuronal differentiation in the dorsal and lateral regions of the cerebellum of juvenile chum salmon. HuCD + EDCs were detected for the first time in the dorsal (DZ) and basal (BZ) zones, forming broad axonal arborization. Immunolabeling of HuCD in combination with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allowed EDCs to be characterized in the cerebellum of juvenile chum salmon for the first time.
