Nonsense-mediated decay constrains nociceptive responses through repression of the integrated stress response

ABSTRACT: RNA stability is meticulously controlled. Here, we sought to determine if an essential post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism plays a role in pain. Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD ) safeguards against translation of mRNAs that harbor premature termination codons and controls the stability of roughly 10% of typical protein-coding mRNAs. It hinges on the activity of the conserved kinase SMG1. Both SMG1 and its target UPF1 are expressed in sensory neurons throughout the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). SMG1 protein is present in DRG neurons and their fibers in the sciatic nerve. Using high-throughput sequencing, we examined changes in mRNA abundance following inhibition of SMG1. Among the characteristics of NMD substrates, the most prominent is structure specifically in the 3′UTR. We confirmed multiple NMD stability targets in sensory neurons including ATF4. AFT4 is preferentially translated during the integrated stress response (ISR). This led us to ask if suspension of NMD induces the ISR. Indeed, blockade of NMD increases eIF2-alpha phosphorylation, a key marker of the integrated stress response. Next, we examined the effects of SMG1 inhibition on pain-associated behaviors. Peripheral inhibition of SMG1 result in mechanical hypersensitivity that persists for several days and priming to a subthreshold dose of PGE2. Priming was fully rescued by a small molecule inhibitor of the ISR. Collectively, our results indicate that suspension of NMD promotes pain through activation of the ISR.

Global analyses of mRNA expression in human sensory neurons reveals eIF5A as a conserved target for inflammatory pain

Project description:Nociceptors are a type of sensory neurons that is integral to most forms of pain. Targeted disruption of nociceptor sensitization affords unique opportunities to prevent pain. An emerging model for nociceptors are sensory neurons derived from human stem cells. Here, we subjected five groups to high-throughput sequencing: human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) prior to differentiation, mature hiPSC-derived sensory neurons, mature co-cultures containing hiPSC-derived astrocytes and sensory neurons, mouse DRG tissues, and mouse DRG cultures. Co-culture of nociceptors and astrocytes promotes expression of transcripts enriched in DRG tissues. Comparisons of the hiPSC models to tissue samples reveals that many key genes linked to pain are present. Marker genes indicative of a range of neuronal subtypes present in the DRG were detected in mature hiPSCs. Intriguingly, translation factors were maintained at consistently high expression levels across species and culture systems. As a proof of concept for the utility of this resource, we validated expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) in DRG tissues and hiPSC samples. eIF5A is subject to a unique post-translational hypusine modification required for its activity. Inhibition of hypusine biosynthesis prevented hyperalgesic priming by inflammatory mediators in vivo. One of two hypusine inhibitors diminished hiPSC activity in vitro. Collectively, our results illuminate the transcriptomes of hiPSC sensory neuron models. We provide a proof of concept for this resource through our investigation of eIF5A. Our findings reveal hypusine as a potential target for inflammation associated pain in males.

Integrative multiomic analyses of dorsal root ganglia in diabetic neuropathic pain using proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics

Project description:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is characterized by spontaneous pain in the extremities. Incidence of DPN continues to rise with the global diabetes epidemic. However, there remains a lack of safe, effective analgesics to control this chronic painful condition. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) contain soma of sensory neurons and modulate sensory signal transduction into the central nervous system. In this study, we aimed to gain a deeper understanding of changes in molecular pathways in the DRG of DPN patients with chronic pain. We recently reported transcriptomic changes in the DRG with DPN. Here, we expand upon those results with integrated metabolomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic analyses to compare the molecular profiles of DRG from DPN donors and DRG from control donors without diabetes or chronic pain. Our analyses identified decreases of select amino acids and phospholipid metabolites in the DRG from DPN donors, which are important for cellular maintenance. Additionally, our analyses revealed changes suggestive of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and altered mRNA processing. These results reveal new insights into changes in the molecular profiles associated with DPN.

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).

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.

Regulation of somatosensory mechanotransduction by Annexin A6

Project description:Sensory neuron mechanically-activated slowly adapting currents have been linked to noxious mechanosensation. We identified a Conotoxin, Noxious Mechanosensation Blocker -1, that blocks such currents selectively. Using an active biotinylated form of the toxin we identified 67 binding proteins in sensory neurons and sensory neuron-derived cell lines using mass spectrometry. Annexin A6 was the most frequently identified binding protein. Annexin A6 knockout mice showed an enhanced sensitivity to mechanical stimuli. Rapidly adapting currents were enhanced and slowly adapting channels diminished. The percentage of neurons expressing slowly adapting currents fell and non-responsive neurons increased. Conversely, overexpression of annexin A6 in DRG neurons inhibited rapidly adapting currents without effects on slowly adapting currents. Co-expression of annexin A6 with Piezo 2 led to an inhibition of Piezo-mediated rapidly adapting currents. AAV-mediated gene delivery of annexin A6 to sensory neurons in a mouse model of osteoarthritis attenuated mechanical pain. These data demonstrate a role for annexin A6 in somatosensory mechanotransduction.

Comprehensive analysis of Long non-coding RNA expression in dorsal root ganglion reveals cell type specificity and dysregulation following nerve injury [human iPS]

Project description:Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons provide connectivity between peripheral tissues and spinal cord. Transcriptional plasticity within DRG sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury contributes to nerve repair but also leads to maladaptive plasticity, including the development of neuropathic pain. This study presents tissue and neuron specific expression profiling of both known and novel Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in rodent DRG following nerve injury. We have identified a large number of novel LncRNAs expressed within rodent DRG, a minority of which were syntenically conserved between mouse and rat and which including both- intergenic and antisense LncRNAs. We have also identified neuron type-specific LncRNAs in mouse DRG, and LncRNAs that are expressed in human IPS cell-derived sensory neurons. We show significant plasticity in LncRNA expression following nerve injury, which in mouse is strain dependant. This resource is publicly available and will aid future studies of DRG neuron identity and the transcriptional landscape in both naïve and injured DRG.
