E-mail: alan.verkman@ucsf.edu We reported previously that astroglia cultured from aquaporin-4-deficient (AQP4 –/– ) mice migrate more slowly in vitro than those from wild-type (AQP4 +/+ ) mice ( J. Cell Sci. 2005;118, 5691–5698). Here, we investigate the migration of fluorescently labeled AQP4 +/+ and AQP4 –/– astroglia after implantation into mouse brains in which directional movement was stimulated by a planar stab wound 3 mm away from the axis of the injection needle. Two days after cell injection we determined the location, elongation ratio, and orientation of labeled cells. Migration of AQP4 +/+ but not AQP4 –/– cells toward the stab was greater than away from the stab. AQP4 +/+ astroglia moved on average 1.5 mm toward the stab compared with 0.6 mm for AQP4 –/– cells. More than 25% of the migrating AQP4 +/+ cells but <3% of AQP4 –/– cells appeared elongated (axial ratio>2.5). In transwell assays, AQP4 +/+ astroglia migrated faster than AQP4 –/– cells in a manner dependent on pore size. At 8 h, ∼50% of AQP4 +/+ cells migrated through 8-µm diameter pores, whereas equivalent migration of AQP4 –/– cells was found for 12-µm diameter pores. These results provide in vivo evidence for AQP4-dependent astroglial migration and suggest that modulation of AQP4 expression or function might alter glial scarring—Auguste, K.
