Single cell RNA sequencing of adult (P60) vomeronasal organ

ABSTRACT: The vomeronasal organ of mice consists of two major types of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) expressing either receptors of the V1R or V2R family. V1R and V2R VSNs form from a common pool of progenitors but have distinct differentiation programs. We analyzed single cell RNA sequencing data of adult VNO and identified differential expression of Notch1 receptor and Dll4 ligand among the neuronal precursors at the VSN dichotomy. We further demonstrated that Notch signaling is required for effective differentiation of V2R+ basal VSNs.

Gene expression profiling from whole VNOs after tfap2eCre-mediated Smad4 ablation in immature basal vomeronasal neurons and OMPCre-mediated Smad4 ablation in all mature vomeronasal neurons

Project description:The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mice contains two main types of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs)- Apical and Basal. Apical VSNs express vomeronasal receptors (VRs) of the V1R family and project to the anterior accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) and VSNs in the basal portions of the epithelium express receptors of the V2R family and project to the posterior portion of the AOB. In the vomeronasal epithelium of mice we found active BMP signaling. By generating Smad4 conditional mutants we disrupted canonical TGF-b/BMP signaling in either maturing basal VSNs or in mature apical and basal VSNs.

Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Organization of the Mouse Vomeronasal organ at Single Cell Resolution

Project description:We have generated single cell transcriptomic atlases of vomeronasal organs (VNO) from juvenile and adult mice. Combined with spatial molecular imaging, we uncover a distinct, previously unidentified class of cells that express the vomeronasal receptors and a population of canonical olfactory sensory neurons in the VNO. High resolution trajectory and cluster analyses reveal the lineage relationship, spatial distribution of cell types, and a putative cascade of molecular events that specify the V1r, V2r, and OR lineages from a common stem cell population. The expression of vomeronasal and olfactory receptors follow power law distributions, but there are high variabilities in average expression levels between individual receptor and cell types. Substantial co-expression is found between receptors across clades, from different classes, and between olfactory and vomeronasal receptors, with nearly half from pairs located on the same chromosome. Interestingly, the expression of V2r, but not V1r, genes is associated with various transcription factors, suggesting distinct mechanisms of receptor choice associated with the two cell types. We identify association between transcription factors, surface axon guidance molecules, and individual VRs, thereby uncovering a molecular code that guides the specification of the vomeronasal circuitry. Our study provides a wealth of data on the development and organization of the accessory olfactory system at both cellular and molecular levels to enable a deeper understanding of vomeronasal system function.

Differentially expressed genes in isolated postnatal AP2e WT and null VNOs

Project description:Understanding the molecular mechanisms defining and maintaining the identity of a specific neuronal cell type is a central goal in neuroscience. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mice contains hundreds of distinct vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs). The VSNs are classified into two major cell types that are segregated in apical and basal regions of the VNO, express vomeronasal receptors of different superfamilies, and send axons to different portions of the accessory olfactory bulb. How apical or basal identity of VSNs is established and maintained is largely unknown. Here we attempt to assess the role of a single transcription factor, AP-2ε, in the VNO of mice. We used microarrays to examine global effect of AP-2ε loss-of-function on gene expression in the vomeronasal organ.

Transcriptional instability prevents dispersion of functional vomeronasal receptor genes [rat]

Project description:Rodents perceive pheromones via vomeronasal receptors encoded by the Vr and Fpr gene superfamilies. The evolution of these latter is exceptionally dynamic. We report here that high numbers of V1r pseudogenes are scattered in mammalian genomes, contrasting with the clustered organization of functional V1r and Fpr genes. We also found that V1r pseudogenes are more likely to be expressed when located in a functional V1r gene cluster than when isolated. To explore the potential regulatory role played by the association of functional vomeronasal receptor genes with their clusters, we dissociated the mouse Fpr-rs3 from its native cluster via transgenesis. Singular and specific transgenic Fpr-rs3 transcription was observed in young vomeronasal neurons, but was only transient. Our data point to the existence of transcription stabilizing elements not coupled to vomeronasal gene units but rather associated with vomeronasal gene clusters, and thus explain the evolutionary conserved clustered organization of functional vomeronasal genes.

Single cell RNA sequencing of P10 and adult vomeronasal organ of OMPCreR26AP2e and Controls

Project description:Neuronal identity dictates the position in an epithelium, and the ability to detect, process, and transmit specific signals to specified targets. Traditionally, transcription factors (TFs) determine cellular identity via direct modulation of genetic transcription and recruiting chromatin modifiers. However, our understanding of the mechanisms that define neuronal identity and their magnitude remains a critical barrier to elucidate the etiology of congenital and neurodegenerative disorders. The structure of the rodent vomeronasal organ provides a unique system to examine in detail the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation and maturation of chemosensory neurons (VSNs). Here we demonstrated that the identity of postmitotic/maturing VSNs and vomeronasal dependent behaviors can be reprogrammed through the rescue of AP-2e expression in the AP-2eNull mice and by inducing ectopic AP-2e expression in mature apical VSNs. Our data suggest that the transcription factor AP-2e directly controls the expression of batteries of vomeronasal genes.

Transcriptome of the vomeronasal organ in Vmn2r1 knock out mice

Project description:<1. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) in the nose of most tetrapods is a sensory structure for the detection of pheromones and kairomones (intra-specific and inter-specific chemical signals) that initiate innate behaviours. It has two neuronal layers, each expressing distinct receptor sub-families coupled to different G-proteins. Neurones in the apical layer express a single vomeronasal receptor type 1 and the G?i2 G-protein. On the other hand, neurons in the basal layer express two or more vomeronasal receptors type-2 (V2Rs) and the G?o G-protein. In mice, V2Rs are organized into four families, A, B, D and C, with family-A and -C sub-divided into subfamilies A1-A10 and C1-C2. These gene families are expressed in a unique combinatorial pattern. Families A (subfamilies A1-A6), B and D are expressed monogenically and coexpress with the recently expanded family-C2 (6 genes, Vmn2r2 to Vmn2r7). While neurons expressing the phylogenetically ancient subfamily-C2 (1 gene, Vmn2r1) coexpress with family-BD and subfamilies A8-A10.We have generated a knock-out mouse for gene Vmn2r1 gene, using a Eucomm tm1b allele. This mouse is a valuable resource for further understanding the molecular organization of the VNO and its behavioural implications, in an evolutionary context. We propose here, to sequence the VNO of Vmn2r1 mutant mice. By studying the VNO transcriptome we hope to advance our knowledge of the genetic coding of pheromonal communication.

Gene expression profiling in mouse strains carrying a knockout mutation in the vomeronasal receptor gene Vmn2r1

Project description:The NanoString multiplex gene expression platform was applied to examine changes in V2R gene expression in total RNA samples from the vomeronasal organ of mice of gene-targeted strains ΔC1 and ΔC1-GFP, which each carry a knockout mutation in the Vmn2r1 gene. There is significant decrease in the expression level of various V2R genes that are normally coexpressed with Vmn2r1.
