Runx1 controls auditory sensory neuron diversity in mice.

ABSTRACT: Sound stimulus is encoded in mice by three molecularly and physiologically diverse subtypes of sensory neurons, called Ia, Ib, and Ic spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Here, we show that the transcription factor Runx1 controls SGN subtype composition in the murine cochlea. Runx1 is enriched in Ib/Ic precursors by late embryogenesis. Upon the loss of Runx1 from embryonic SGNs, more SGNs take on Ia rather than Ib or Ic identities. This conversion was more complete for genes linked to neuronal function than to connectivity. Accordingly, synapses in the Ib/Ic location acquired Ia properties. Suprathreshold SGN responses to sound were enhanced in Runx1^CKO mice, confirming the expansion of neurons with Ia-like functional properties. Runx1 deletion after birth also redirected Ib/Ic SGNs toward Ia identity, indicating that SGN identities are plastic postnatally. Altogether, these findings show that diverse neuronal identities essential for normal auditory stimulus coding arise hierarchically and remain malleable during postnatal development.

Runx1 Controls Auditory Sensory Neuron Diversity (CKO)

Project description:As the primary sensory neurons of the auditory system, Type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) encode sound stimulus properties critical for the formation of auditory percept in higher brain areas. Their functional heterogeneity is thought to contribute to our ability to hear a wide range of sound intensities and against background noise, but how SGN diversity arises during development is poorly understood. Here we studied the role of the transcription factor Runx1 in establishing SGN heterogeneity in the mouse cochlea by single cell RNA-sequencing.

Olfactory Sensory Neuron Diversity Beyond OR Genes in mice [scRNAseq]

Project description:How functional cellular heterogeneities are regulated is fundamental for understanding the molecular basis of complex organs. Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are an ideal model to investigate the regulation of cellular heterogeneity. The “one-neuron-one-receptor” organization and topographical mapping ensure the detection and precise translation of odor signals to the central neural system. Besides the diversity of OR genes and other molecular guiding axon sorting processes, single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed an OSN subpopulation, defined by Cd36, a lipid receptor gene. The function study exhibited lipid odor identification was impaired in Cd36-deficient mice. In this study, we systematically depicted the transcriptome diversity, spatial distribution, and specific functions of Cd36+ OSNs in the mouse olfactory epithelium. The specific molecular features of Cd36+ OSN we revealed implemented the programmed cellular diversity may be driven by their olfaction function. Furthermore, with the integrative analysis of single-cell transcriptome and epigenome profiles, we revealed the cis and trans regulatory signatures in Cd36+ OSN and identified Tshz1 and Mef2 as the key regulators that may directly regulate and promote the expression of Cd36 and drive the cellular diversity of OSNs. Especially, we demonstrated that Tshz1 is expressed coordinately with the choices of ORs, earlier than the expression of Cd36, which indicates it may act as a pioneer factor that instructs the lineage-specific expression of Cd36 and other genes, eventually leading to the cellular diversity of Cd36+ OSN. Our results provide novel knowledge on the regulation mechanism of cellular diversity of complex organs.

Sensory Neuron Diversity in the Inner Ear Is Shaped by Activity.

Project description:In the auditory system, type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) convey complex acoustic information from inner hair cells (IHCs) to the brainstem. Although SGNs exhibit variation in physiological and anatomical properties, it is unclear which features are endogenous and which reflect input from synaptic partners. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we derived a molecular classification of mouse type I SGNs comprising three subtypes that express unique combinations of Ca2+ binding proteins, ion channel regulators, guidance molecules, and transcription factors. Based on connectivity and susceptibility to age-related loss, these subtypes correspond to those defined physiologically. Additional intrinsic differences among subtypes and across the tonotopic axis highlight an unexpectedly active role for SGNs in auditory processing. SGN identities emerge postnatally and are disrupted in a mouse model of deafness that lacks IHC-driven activity. These results elucidate the range, nature, and origins of SGN diversity, with implications for treatment of congenital deafness.

The evolutionarily conserved transcription factor PRDM12 controls sensory neuron development and pain perception.

Project description:PR homology domain-containing member 12 (PRDM12) belongs to a family of conserved transcription factors implicated in cell fate decisions. Here we show that PRDM12 is a key regulator of sensory neuronal specification in Xenopus. Modeling of human PRDM12 mutations that cause hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) revealed remarkable conservation of the mutated residues in evolution. Expression of wild-type human PRDM12 in Xenopus induced the expression of sensory neuronal markers, which was reduced using various human PRDM12 mutants. In Drosophila, we identified Hamlet as the functional PRDM12 homolog that controls nociceptive behavior in sensory neurons. Furthermore, expression analysis of human patient fibroblasts with PRDM12 mutations uncovered possible downstream target genes. Knockdown of several of these target genes including thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme (TRHDE) in Drosophila sensory neurons resulted in altered cellular morphology and impaired nociception. These data show that PRDM12 and its functional fly homolog Hamlet are evolutionary conserved master regulators of sensory neuronal specification and play a critical role in pain perception. Our data also uncover novel pathways in multiple species that regulate evolutionary conserved nociception.
