To examine the role of small RNAs in peripheral pain pathways, we deleted the enzyme Dicer in mouse postmitotic damage-sensing neurons. We used a Nav1.8-Cre mouse to target those nociceptors important for inflammatory pain. The conditional null mice were healthy with a normal number of sensory neurons and normal acute pain thresholds. Behavioral studies showed that inflammatory pain was attenuated or abolished. Inflammatory mediators failed to enhance excitability of Nav1.8+ sensory neurons from ...[more]

Transcription profiling of mouse dorsal root ganglia after diphtheria-toxin deletion of the Nav1.8-expressing cells using the cre/loxP system

Project description:Comparison of transcript levels after diphtheria-toxin deletion of the Nav1.8-expressing cells using the cre/loxP system.<br> Pain requires input from nociceptors which are specialised peripheral sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). To explore the nociceptor-specific mRNA profiles, we used microarray analysis to examine the altered repertoire of genes expressed in DRG from mice depleted of Nav1.8-expressing neurons which are mainly nociceptors. To generate the animal, a Nav1.8 knock-in Cre-expressing mouse (Nav1.8-Cre) was used to excise a floxed stop upstream of globally expressed diphtheria toxin A-subunit gene (ROSA26-eGFP-DTA). By crossing heterozygous Cre mice with homozygous toxin-expressing floxed mice, experimental toxin-expressing (DTA) mice, in which DTA expressing nociceptors had been deleted, were generated. 6 DTA mice and 6 litter mate controls were used for microarray analysis. 3 Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array chips were employed for analysis of the gene transcripts of each conditions.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus dorsal root ganglia conditioned in vitro vs freshly dissected control

Project description:Axonal regeneration is enhanced by prior conditioning peripheral nerve lesions. Here we show that Xenopus dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) with attached peripheral nerves (PN-DRGs) can be conditioned in vitro, thereafter showing enhanced axonal growth in response to neurotrophins, similar to preparations conditioned by axotomy in vivo. In contrast to freshly dissected preparations, conditioned PN-DRGs show abundant neurotrophin-induced axonal growth in the presence of actinomycin D, suggesting synthesis of mRNA encoding proteins necessary for axonal elongation occurs during the conditioning period, and this was confirmed by oligonucleotide micro-array analysis.

Expression data from FACS purified nociceptor neurons from peripheral sensory ganglia

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of nociceptor sensory neurons, the neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia are anatomically distinct peripheral sensory ganglia that contain nociceptors which innervate skin, gut, lungs, and other distinct organ tissues. We used flow cytometry to purify nociceptors from these ganglia and profiled their global gene expression signatures to compare gene expression between these different anatomically distinct nociceptors. Nav1.8-Cre were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato to generate Nav1.8-Cre/R26-TdTomato reporter progeny, where all peripheral nociceptor neurons are genetically marked with red fluroescence due to specific expression of the TTX- resistant sodium channel Nav1.8. Lumbar region dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia were dissected from mice (3 mice were pooled/sample). Highly red fluorescent neurons were Facs purified, RNA extracted, and processed for microarray analysis.

Sub-Cellular Transcriptomics M-bM-^@M-^S Dissection of the mRNA composition in the axonal compartment of sensory neurons

Project description:RNA localization is a regulatory mechanism that is conserved from bacteria to mammals. Yet, little is known about the mechanism and the logic that govern the distribution of RNA transcripts within the cell. Here we present a novel organ culture system, which enables the isolation of RNA specifically from NGF dependent re-growing peripheral axons of mouse embryo sensory neurons. In combination with massive parallel sequencing technology, we determine the sub-cellular localization of most transcripts in the transcriptome. We found that the axon is enriched in mRNAs that encode secreted proteins, transcription factors and the translation machinery. In contrast, the axon was largely depleted from mRNAs encoding transmembrane proteins, a particularly interesting finding, since many of these gene products are specifically expressed in the tip of the axon at the protein level. Comparison of the mitochondrial mRNAs encoded in the nucleus with those encoded in the mitochondria, uncovered completely different localization pattern, with the latter much enriched in the axon fraction. This discovery is intriguing since the protein products encoded by the nuclear and mitochondrial genome form large co-complexes. Finally, focusing on alternative splice variants that are specific to axonal fractions, we find short sequence motifs that are enriched in the axonal transcriptome. Together our findings shed light on the extensive role of RNA localization and its characteristics. For each RNA sample, Spinal Cords\ DRGs were dissected from 40 E13.5 embryos and cultured for 48H. Total RNA was extracted from whole DRG and Peripheral axons. Poly-A enriched. In duplicates, using GAIIx. Read length - 80nt.

Comparative microarray analysis of NaV1.8-expressing DRG neurons and cold-sensitive non-NaV1.8-expressing DRG neurons

Project description:The vast majority of cold sensitive DRG neurons from mice do not express the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8. Therefore, we aimed to compare the molecular profiles of NaV1.8 and non-NaV1.8-expressing neurons using microarray analysis. Fluorescent activated cell sorting was performed at 4 degrees centigrade on acutely dissociated DRG neurons from mice expressing NaV1.8-Cre, Pirt-GCaMP3 and a Cre-dependent global reporter (td tomato). NaV1.8-expressing neurons were sorted based on their reporter fluorescence (td tomato; red) and putative cold sensing neurons were sorted based on their GCaMP3 fluorescence at 4 degrees centigrade and absence of Cre-dependent reporter fluorescence. A total of three mice were used (samples one, two and three) with GCaMP3 only and NaV1.8-expressing neurons forming two relative populations within each sample (eg. GC3 one is the experimental counterpart of Tom one).

Expression data from pain model: rat L5 sensory ganglia after local inflammation

Project description:Inflammation plays a role in neuropathic pain conditions as well as in pain induced solely by an inflammatory stimulus. Robust mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia can be induced by locally inflaming the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in rat. This model allows investigation of the contribution of inflammation per se to chronic pain conditions. Most previous microarray studies of DRG gene expression have investigated neuropathic pain models involving axon transection. To examine the role of inflammation, we used microarray methods to examine gene expression 3 days after local inflammation of the L5 DRG in rat. We observed significant regulation in a large number of genes (23% of observed transcripts), and examined 221 (3%) with a fold-change of 1.5-fold or more in more detail. Immune-related genes were the largest category in this group and included members of the complement system as well as several pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, these upregulated cytokines had no prior links to peripheral pain in the literature other than through microarray studies, though most had previously described roles in CNS (especially neuroinflammatory conditions) as well as in immune responses. The L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was locally inflamed with zymosan/Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant. DRG were isolated 3 days later. Each sample was RNA extracted from a single DRG. 6 samples from rats with local DRG inflammation were compared with 6 samples from sham-operated rats.

E18.5 DRG: Identification of a sacral, visceral sensory transcriptome in embryonic and adult mice

Project description:Visceral sensory neurons encode distinct sensations from healthy organs and initiate pain states that are resistant to common analgesics. Transcriptome analysis is transforming our understanding of sensory neuron subtypes but has generally focused on somatic sensory neurons or the total population of neurons in which visceral neurons form the minority. Our aim was to define transcripts specifically expressed by sacral visceral sensory neurons, as a step towards understanding the unique biology of these neurons and potentially lead to identification of new analgesic targets for pelvic visceral pain. Our strategy was to identify genes differentially expressed between sacral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) that include somatic neurons and sacral visceral neurons, and adjacent lumbar DRG that comprise exclusively somatic sensory neurons. This was performed in male and female mice (adult and E18.5). By developing a method to restrict analyses to nociceptive Trpv1 neurons, a larger group of genes were detected as differentially expressed between spinal level. We identified many novel genes not previously been associated with pelvic visceral sensation or nociception. Limited sex differences were detected across the transcriptome of sensory ganglia, but more were revealed in sacral levels and especially in Trpv1 nociceptive neurons. These data will facilitate development of new tools to modify mature and developing sensory neurons and nociceptive pathways.
