✦ Synopsis

We report that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for oligodendrocyte type-2 astrocyte (O-2A) progenitor cells derived from the optic nerves of adult rats. Moreover, O-2Aadult progenitors cultured in PDGF express the range of properties we have described previously for O-2Aadult progenitors cultured in the presence of type-1 astrocytes. Similarly, previous studies have demonstrated that PDGF is able to mimic the influence of type-1 astrocytes on O-2Aperinatal progenitors. Specifically, O-2Aadult progenitors and O-2Aperinatal progenitors exposed to PDGF express differences in average cell cycle time (59 +/- 5 h for O-2Aadult progenitors versus 20 +/- 6 h for O-2Aperinatal progenitors), average rate of migration (4.1 +/- 0.6 microns h-1 versus 24.6 +/- 5.4 microns h-1), morphology (unipolar versus bipolar), and antigenic phenotype (04+ vimentin- versus 04- vimentin+). Thus, our present results indicate that a single signalling molecule secreted by type-1 astrocytes produces markedly different cellular behaviours in two related O-2A progenitor populations.

## Abstract In previous experiments (Grotendorst et al, 1981), we showed that platelet‐derived growth factor promotes the migration of smooth muscle cells in vitro. Using a “checkerboard” analysis, we now establish that platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) acts as a true chemoattractant for cultur

## Abstract During development, myelin‐forming oligodendrocytes and type 2 astrocytes are believed to arise from bipotential (O‐2A) glial progenitors. Previously we found that conditioned medium (CM) from the B 104 rat CNS neuronal cell line promotes growth of neonatal rat O‐2A progenitors in scrum
