The availability of tissue culture systems that allow the growth of nerve cells, Schwann cells and fibroblasts separately or in various combinations permits investigation of the role of cell interactions in the development of the peripheral nervous system. Using these systems it was earlier found that basal lamina is formed on the Schwann cell surface in cultures of sensory ganglion cells and Schwann cells without fibroblasts. Here, the presence of nerve cells is shown to be required for the generation of basal lamina on the Schwann cell plasmalemma. Nerve cell-Schwann cell [rat] preparations devoid of fibroblasts were used. When nerve cells are removed from 3- to 5-wk-old cultures, the basal lamina disappears from Schwann cells. If nerve cells are added back to such Schwann cell populations, Schwann cell basal lamina reappears. Removal of nerve cells from older (3-4 mo.) cultures does not lead to basal lamina loss; areas presumed not to have been coated with lamina before neurite degeneration remain so, suggesting that the lamina persists but is not reformed. If basal lamina is removed with trypsin, it is reformed in neuron plus Schwann cell cultures but not in Schwann cell populations alone. Formation but not the persistence of Schwann cell basal lamina requires the presence of nerve cells.
