PG - 27-36 AB - Developmental changes in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), enolase, hexokinase (HK), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities were measured in cultures of pure neurons and glial cells prepared from brains of chick embryos (8 day-old for neurons, 14 day-old for glial cells) as a function of cellular development with time in culture. The modifications observed in culture were compared to those measured in brain extracts during the development of the nervous tissue in the chick embryo and during the post-hatching period. A significant increase of MDH, GDH, LDH, and enolase activities are observed in neurons between 3 and 6 days of culture, whereas simultaneously a decrease of HK values occurs. In the embryonic brain between 11 and 14 days of incubation, which would correspond for the neuronal cultures to day 3 through 6, modifications of MDH, GDH, HK, and enolase levels are similar to those observed in neurons in culture. Only the increase of LDH activity is less pronounced in vivo than in cultivated cells. The evolution of the tested enzymatic activities in the brain of the chick during the period between 7 days before and 10 days after hatching is quite similar to that observed in cultivated glial cells (prepared from 14 day-old embryos) between 6 and 18 days of culture. All tested activities increased in comparable proportions. The modifications of the enzymatic profile indicate that some maturation phenomena affecting energy metabolism of neuronal and glial elements in culture, are quite similar to those occuring in the total nervous tissue. A relationship between the development of the energy metabolism of the brain and differentiation processes affecting neuroblasts and the glial-forming cells is discussed.
