Human Sensory Neurons Modulate Melanocytes Through Secretion of RGMB

ABSTRACT: Melanocytes are surrounded by diverse cells including sensory neurons in our skin, but their interaction and functional importance has been poorly investigated. In this study, we found that melanocytes and nociceptive neurons contact more in human skin color patch tissue than control. Co-culture with human iPS cell-derived sensory neurons significantly induced morphogenesis and pigmentation of human melanocytes. To reveal melanocytes-stimulating factors secreted from neurons, we performed proteomic analyses and identified RGMB in the sensory neuron-conditioned media. RGMB protein induced morphogenesis and melanin production of melanocytes, demonstrating that RGMB is a melanocyte-stimulating factor released from sensory neurons. Transcriptome analysis suggested that the melanosome transport machinery could be controlled by RGMB, which led us to identify vesicle production response of melanocytes upon RGMB treatment. This study discovered a role of sensory neurons to modulate multiple aspects of human melanocytes through secretion of a key factor RGMB.

Expression data from the PVD and OLL neurons in C. elegans

Project description:Nociceptive neurons develop a complex dendritic arbor to sense noxious stimuli, which enables animals to react to environmental insults and perform self-protective behaviours. The genetic programs controlling neuronal dendritic morphogenesis are poorly understood. In C. elegans, the PVD sensory neuron generates a complex dendritic arbor that envelops the body of the animal. This nociceptive neuron enables study of dendrite formation in vivo. We used expression arrays to identify genes highly enriched in the PVD neuron while undergoing dendritic morphogenesis. These genes could function in pathways controlling dendrite formation. We employ the mRNA-tagging method to isolate poly(A) RNA from the PVD and OLL neurons by expressing a 3X FLAG-tagged poly(A) binding protein PAB-1 in PVD and OLL under control of the ser-2prom3B promoter. The enriched poly(A) RNA is amplified using the NuGEN WT-Pico amplification system and applied to Affymetrix C. elegans gene expression microarrays. A reference sample was obtained by isolating total RNA from whole animals at the L3/L4 stages and processed as above.

Expression data from wildtype and mec-3 mutant PVD/OLL sensory neurons in C. elegans

Project description:Nociceptive neurons develop a complex dendritic arbor to sense noxious stimuli, which enables animals to react to environmental insults and perform self-protective behaviours. The genetic programs controlling neuronal dendritic morphogenesis are poorly understood. In C. elegans, the PVD sensory neuron generates a complex dendritic arbor that envelops the body of the animal. This nociceptive neuron enables study of dendrite formation in vivo. MEC-3 is a transcription factor expressed in the PVD neuron (Chatzigeorgiou et al., 2010; Li et al., 2011; Way and Chalfie, 1989). mec- 3 mutant PVD neurons fail to elaborate lateral branches and show defective function (Smith et al., 2010; Tsalik et al., 2003) (Husson et al., 2012). We used tiling arrays to identify genes regulated by the mec-3 transcription factor in PVD sensory neurons. We employ the mRNA-tagging method to isolate poly(A) RNA from the PVD and OLL neurons in wildtype and mec-3 mutants (3 replicates each) by expressing a 3X FLAG-tagged poly(A) binding protein PAB-1 in PVD and OLL under control of the ser-2prom3B promoter. The enriched poly(A) RNA is amplified using the NuGEN WT-Pico amplification system and applied to Affymetrix C. elegans tiling microarrays. Whole animal reference samples were obtained by isolating total RNA at the L2/L3 stages in wildtype and mec-3 mutants (2 replicates each) and processed as above.

Nociceptor differentiation from pluripotent cells

Project description:Here we performed the first combinatorial small molecule screen for the rapid conversion of hPSCs into postmitotic neurons. We identified a combination of five small molecule pathway inhibitors sufficient to yield neurons at > 75% efficiency within 10 days of differentiation in the absence of any recombinant growth factors. The resulting human neurons express canonical markers of nociceptive sensory fate. Two treatments (LSB and 3i) at days 2,3,5,7,9, and 15, in triplicate

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.

Characterisation of iPSC derived Sensory neurons with Single Cell RNA-seq

Project description:Despite the rapid development of protocols to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into neurons, those used to produce sensory neurons remain difficult to replicate and result in heterogenous populations. Moreover, there is a growing clinical burden of chronic pain conditions, highlighting a need for relevant human cellular models. This study presents a hybrid differentiation method to produce nociceptive sensory neurons from hPSCs. Cell lines harbouring an inducible NEUROG2 construct were patterned towards precursors with small molecules, followed by NEUROG2 overexpression. We profilled cells with single cell RNA sequencing, which revealed populations of nociceptors, demonstrated by the expression of key developmental and fucntional genes including volatge gated sodium and TRP channels. Overall, this study represents an optimisation of existing methods to efficiently produce nociceptive sensory neurons and provides a tool for chronic pain research and the development of treatments.
