Abstract

Carassius auratus Freshwater
We examined the distribution and expression of two extracellular matrix molecules, laminin and chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan, and a carbohydrate epitope shared by a family of adhesion molecules (HNK-1), using immunocytochemical detection in sections from the normal adult goldfish optic nerve and in nerves from one hour to five months following optic nerve crush. We also used in vitro preparations to determine if neurites in retinal explants could express these same molecules. The linear distributions of laminin and chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan immunoreactivity in control optic nerves are co-extensive with the glia limitans, suggesting both are expressed by non-neuronal components surrounding the axon fascicles. HNK-1 immunoreactivity is co-extensive with both the glia limitans and axon fascicles and is more extensively distributed in the intact nerve than either laminin or chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan immunoreactivity. In contrast to laminin and chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan, HNK-1 immunoreactivity is substantially decreased at the crush site within one week following optic nerve crush.
