Genetic and transcriptomic identification of sensory neuron types underlying chronic pain in primates

ABSTRACT: Molecular characterization of the individual neuron types existing in the primate dorsal root ganglion and the relation to model organisms used for studying somatosensation and pain is critical for understanding the cellular origin of chronic pain and for translational aspects of biomedical research. However, molecular insights into the primate dorsal root ganglion are missing and a systematic comparison of strategies for somatosensation between the mouse and primates is lacking. Here we classify non-human primate sensory neurons based on their transcriptome and identify neuronal types with heritability to chronic pain. We identify nine neuronal types and use machine learning to expose an overall cross-species conserved strategy and shared taxonomy for nociception, although with differences at individual gene level, highlighting the importance of incorporating primate knowledge for the successful translation of discoveries in rodent model organisms. Genomic loci implicated in chronic pain were mapped onto specific primate sensory neuron types to identify the cellular origin of chronic pain. The common-variant genome-wide association results for chronic pain point to the same cells at the same pain sites and concentrate on two different neuronal types between pain disorders, suggesting that causative cell types and molecular mechanisms are different between different pain conditions.

Single cell transcriptomics of primate sensory neurons identifies cell types associated with chronic pain [Wafergen]

Project description:Distinct types of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons may have unique contributions to chronic pain. Identification of primate sensory neuron types is critical for understanding the cellular origin and heritability of chronic pain. However, molecular insights into the primate sensory neurons are missing. Here we classify non-human primate dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons based on their transcriptome and map human pain heritability to neuronal types. First, we identified cell correlates between two major datasets for mouse sensory neuron types. Machine learning exposes an overall cross-species conservation of somatosensory neurons between primate and mouse, although with differences at individual gene level, highlighting the importance of primate data for clinical translation. We map genomic loci associated with chronic pain in human onto primate sensory neuron types to identify the cellular origin of chronic pain. Genome-wide associations for chronic pain converge on two different neuronal types distributed between pain disorders that display different genetic susceptibilities, suggesting both unique and shared mechanisms between different pain conditions.

DNA methylation reprogramming after spinal nerve injury

Project description:Purpose: Nerve injury-induced hyperactivity of primary sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes critically to chronic pain development, but its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Chronic neuropathic pain has a clear epigenetic component, however, most studies so far have focused on histone modifications. We determined changes of DNA methylation in the rat DRG, spinal cord, and prefrontal cortex after spinal nerve ligation (SNL).

Neuronal cell lines as model dorsal root ganglion neurons: a transcriptomic comparison

Project description:Aim: Dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived immortal cell lines including ND7/23 and F-11 cells have been used extensively as in vitro model systems of native peripheral sensory neurons. However, while it is clear that some sensory neuron-specific receptors and ion channels are present in these cell lines, a systematic comparison of the molecular targets expressed by these cell lines with intact peripheral neurons is lacking. Methods: we examined the expression of RNA transcripts in the human neuroblastoma-derived cell line, SH-SY5Y, and two dorsal root ganglion hybridoma cell lines, F-11 and ND7/23, using Illumina next-generation sequencing. Results: The expression profile of these three cell lines did not resemble any specific dorsal root ganglion neuron subclass. The cell lines lacked many markers for nociceptive sensory neurons, such as the transient receptor potential V1 gene, but expressed markers for both myelinated and unmyelinated neurons. Conclusion: This paper provides insights into the receptor repertoire expressed in common dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived cell lines, and illustrates the limits and potentials of these cell lines as tools for neuropharmacological exploration.

Global transcriptome analysis reveals differences between embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion axonal mRNAs that are implicated in axonal growth and pain

Project description:Local protein synthesis in sensory neuron axons is necessary for axonal regeneration with the efficiency of regeneration decreasing with age. Because the full repertoire of transcripts in embryonic and adult rat sensory axons is unknown we asked how the pool of mRNAs dynamically changes during ageing. We isolated mRNA from pure axons and growth cones devoid of non-neuronal or cell body contamination. Genome-wide microarray analysis reveals that a previously unappreciated number of transcripts are localised in sensory axons and that this repertoire changes during development toward adulthood. Embryonic sensory axons are enriched in transcripts encoding cytoskeletal-related proteins with a role in axonal outgrowth. Surprisingly, adult axons are highly enriched in mRNAs encoding immune molecules with a role in nociception. To validate our experimental approach we show that Tubulin-beta3 mRNA is present only in embryonic axons where it is locally synthesised. In summary, we show that the population of axonal mRNAs dynamically changes during development, which may partly contribute to the intrinsic capacity of axons at different ages to regenerate after injury and to modulate pain. Pure axonal RNA were extracted from the axons of embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, each with 5 biological replicates. The axonal transcriptomes were analysed using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.

Transcriptional changes after spinal cord injury: recruitment of afferents distal to the site of injury

Project description:Nociceptors are thought to play an important role in chronic pain, but the heterogeneity of this population has made it challenging to understand the underlying mechanisms that attribute pain modalities to specific cell types. We screened for transcript changes within a population of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells that are known to be responsible for pain transduction 4 days following spinal cord injury (SCI) to identify genes not previously known to play a role in the transition from chronic to acute pain. We identified genes that had not previously been recognized as major contributors in the development of chronic pain, as well as confirmed previously identified transcription factors already known to play a role in chronic pain.

Scaling proprioceptor gene transcription by retrograde NT3 signaling

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of identified DRG subpopulations. Cell-type specific intrinsic programs instruct neuronal subpopulations before target-derived factors influence later neuronal maturation. Retrograde neurotrophin signaling controls neuronal survival and maturation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, but how these potent signaling pathways intersect with transcriptional programs established at earlier developmental stages remains poorly understood. Here we determine the consequences of genetic alternation of NT3 signaling on genome-wide transcription programs in proprioceptors, an important sensory neuron subpopulation involved in motor reflex behavior. We find that the expression of many proprioceptor-enriched genes is dramatically altered by genetic NT3 elimination, independent of survival-related activities. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression profiles with proprioceptors isolated from mice expressing surplus muscular NT3 identifies an anticorrelated gene set with transcriptional levels scaled in opposite directions. Voluntary running experiments in adult mice further demonstrate the maintenance of transcriptional adjustability of genes expressed by DRG neurons, pointing to life-long gene expression plasticity in sensory neurons. We combined a mouse line expressing GFP under the control of the TrkC promoter (BAC transgene approach) with various NT3 signaling mutants in order to identify the transcriptional changes in identified subpopulations of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Sorted cells were processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Analysis was performed a postnatal (p) day p0. Subsequent analysis focused on the transcriptional profile of DRG neuron subpopulations at specific lumbar levels. Additional work addressed the transcriptional changes in whole DRG in adult mice with and without physical exercise.
