Transcription profiling of murine olfactory epithelium during neuronal death and replacement to study adult neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium

ABSTRACT: Expression profiling of mRNA abundance in the adult mouse olfactory epithelium during replacement of OSNs forced by the bilateral ablation of the olfactory bulbs. The experiment was done on 6 week old male C57Bl/6 mice. Olfactory epithelium tissue samples were collected on days 1, 5, and 7 after bulbectomy. The cellular processes activated by bulbectomy include apoptosis of mature olfactory sensory neurons, infiltration of macrophages and dendritic cells, stimulation of proliferation of basal cell progenitors, and differentation of new sensory neurons.

The olfactory epithelium has the unusual ability to replace its neurons. We forced replacement of mouse olfactory sensory neurons by bulbectomy. Microarray, bioinformatics, and in situ hybridization techniques detected a rapid shift in favor of pro-apoptotic proteins, a progressive immune response by macrophages and dendritic cells, and identified or predicted 439 mRNAs enriched in olfactory sensory neurons, including gene silencing factors and sperm flagellar proteins.

Project description:Distant enhancer elements are a major source of specificity in mammalian gene expression. Although enhancers that regulate broad developmental decisions and inducible gene expression have been studied extensively, little is known about regulatory elements that govern monogenic and monoallelic expression. Here, using high throughput epigenetic and genetic techniques we identified a plethora of distant enhancers that regulate monoallelic olfactory receptor (OR) gene expression. Potential OR enhancers have unique, cell type specific epigenetic marks that distinguish them from other neuronal enhancers and correlate with enhancer activity in vivo. Using sequence capture to enrich for these sequences we identified Dnase-protected footprints that reveal novel regulatory sequences and transcription factors required for OR gene activation. Our experiments provide insight to the regulation of OR expression, and describe novel principles and methodologies towards the understanding of transcriptional mechanisms that generate cellular diversity. In vivo examination of H3K79me3 enrichment and DNAse protected footprints on olfactory receptor enhancer sequences. We performed ChIP-seq on native chromatin isolated from the mouse olfactory epithelium using antibodies against H3K79me3. To sequence accessible regions of the genome we treated nuclei with limiting amounts of DNAse I to digest accessible chromatin and perform Dnase Hypersensitivity (DHS)-seq. In the olfactory epithelium, the H enhancer – the first described enhancer for olfactory receptors has a well-defined DNAse I hypersensitivity peak and is flanked by high levels of H3K79me3. We find other intergenic sequences nearby olfactory receptor genes that share the same chromatin signature, and test their function in vivo. TO uncover transcription factor footprints on olfactory receptor enhancers we performed sequence capture of the DHS-seq library to enrich for these sequences. We find multiple DNAse-protected sequences and perform motif analysis on transcription factor footprints to reveal factors involved in olfactory receptor gene regulation.
