WT vs Hypomethylated DRG Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: Although DNA methylation plays a critical role in the development and function of mammalian central nervous system (CNS), its role in peripheral neurons has not been elucidated. To address this issue, we produced conditional knockout mice (CKO) specifically deleting the gene for maintenance DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1) during the development of neural crest cells. Despite global hypomethylation in the embryonic dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of the CKO mice, the number of sensory neurons was relatively unaffected. However, expression of many genes required for sensory neuron development was altered in embryonic mutant DRG, including down-regulation of Runx1 and TrkA genes as well as up-regulation of Id1 and Dtx1, two negative regulators for neurogenesis. Accompanied with the downregulation of an NGF receptor TrkA, the peripheral axonal projection and the branching of sensory neurons were impaired. Furthermore, the expression of the neuropeptide Galanin and several vanilloid receptors such as TrpV1 and TrpM8 were not detected in the DRG of the CKO mice during late embryonic and neonatal stages, suggesting that DNA methylation regulates the differentiation program for a subset of nociceptive sensory neurons. Taken together, our findings suggest that through transcriptional regulation of key developmental genes in sensory neurons, DNA methylation play a key role in the control of the axonal projection and fate specification of peripheral sensory neurons.

Sc-RNA seq for intrinsic mechanisms of distinct axonal growth capacity in different peripheral sensory neuron subtypes

Project description:Dorsal root ganglion neurons are the primary neurons of the sensory afferent pathway and are a heterogeneous population. Dorsal root ganglion neurons exhibit a wide range of terminal morphologies, complex central projection patterns, and different physiological properties, which allow them to adapt to various sensory stimulation modalities and transmit the corresponding sensory information to the central nervous system. Here, we used single-cell sequencing technology to explore the mechanisms behind the differences in axonal lengths in DRG neurons cultured in vitro. The single-cell sequencing data grouped by axon length were compared and analyzed to find core genes that may be closely related to axon length in a list of differentially expressed genes that significantly change with axon length; as well as to explore whether these genes also play an important role in the process of axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.

Spatial transcriptomics reveals a role for sensory nerves in preserving cranial suture patency through modulation of BMP/TGFβ signaling

Project description:The patterning and ossification of the mammalian skeleton requires the coordinated actions of both intrinsic bone morphogens and extrinsic neurovascular signals, which function in a temporal and spatial fashion to control mesenchymal progenitor cell (MPC) fate. Here we show genetic inhibition of Tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) sensory nerve innervation of the developing cranium results in premature calvarial suture closure, associated with a decrease in suture MPC proliferation. In vitro, axons from peripheral afferent neurons derived from DRGs of wild type mice induce MPC proliferation in a spatially-restricted manner via a soluble factor when co-cultured in microfluidic chambers. Comparative spatial transcriptomic analysis of the cranial sutures in vivo confirmed a positive association between sensory axons and proliferative MPCs. SpatialTime analysis across the developing suture revealed regional-specific alterations in BMP and TGFβ signaling pathway transcripts in response to TrkA inhibition. RNA sequencing of DRG cell bodies following direct axonal co-culture with MPCs confirmed alterations in BMP/TGFβ signaling pathway transcripts. Among these, the BMP inhibitor FSTL1 (Follistatin-like 1) replicated key features of the neural-to-bone influence, including mitogenic and anti-osteogenic effects via inhibition of BMP/TGFβ signaling. Taken together, our results demonstrate that sensory nerve-derived signals, including FSTL1, function to coordinate cranial bone patterning by regulating MPC proliferation and differentiation in the suture mesenchyme.

Effect of DRG conditioned media on Tppp3+ tendon cells

Project description:Here, we investigated the effect of conditioned media (CM) obtained from cultured mouse DRG neurons on Tppp3+ cells, mainly on proliferation and differentiation potential. Peripheral afferent neurons terminate at the surfaces of tendons, yet their role after injury beyond nociceptive functions remain unclear. Using transgenic animal models, sensory neurons were found to sprout after Achilles tendon injury in domains of Nerve growth factor (NGF) expression. Conditional deletion of Ngf in either myeloid or mesenchymal cell types led to tendon repair defects – findings phenocopied by inactivation of TrkA (Tropomyosin receptor kinase A) using a knockin mouse model. A combination of spatial and single cell transcriptomics revealed dysregulated inflammatory and TGF signaling upon lack of neural input. Utilizing sural nerve transection in reporter animals, we identified that neural input is required for proper expansion of Tppp3+ tendon sheath progenitor cells (TSPCs) after injury, and in vitro approaches implicated TGF signaling activation in Tppp3+ TSPC neural response. Finally, in a translational approach, activation of TrkA+ sensory neurons using a partial agonist led to a significant increase in TGF signaling, TSPC expansion, and improved tendon repair. Collectively, these data implicate peripheral afferent neural networks in the coordinated acute tendon injury response, and identify candidate molecules to speed the reparative process.

Correlating anatomy and function with gene expression in individual neurons by combining in vivo labeling, patch clamp and single cell RNA-seq

Project description:The classification of neurons into distinct types is an ongoing effort aimed at revealing and understanding the diversity of the components of the nervous system. Recently available methods allow us to determine the gene expression pattern of individual neurons in the mammalian cerebral cortex to generate powerful categorization schemes. For a thorough understanding of neuronal diversity such genetic categorization schemes need to be combined with traditional classification parameters like position, axonal projection or response properties to sensory stimulation. Here we describe a method to link the gene expression of individual neurons with their position, axonal projection or sensory response properties. Neurons are labeled in vivo based on their anatomical or functional properties and, using patch clamp pipettes, their RNA individually harvested in vitro for RNAseq. With this method we can determine the genetic expression pattern of functionally and anatomically identified individual neurons.

Neuronal cytoskeletal gene dysregulation drives mechanical hypersensitivity in Rett Syndrome

Project description:This study investigated mechanisms of peripheral sensory abnormalities in Rett Syndrome using a MeCP2 knockout rat. Dramatic changes in peripheral innervation by DRG sensory neurons were observed in the knockout rats that strongly correlated with modality-specific sensory dysfunction. The cell-autonomous effect of MeCP2 mutation in DRG neurons disrupt axon growth mechanisms leading to the altered cutaneous innervation density. We performed RNA-Seq to compare the transcriptome of MeCP2 KO DRGs with that derived from wildtype littermates. This revealed profound impact of MeCP2 loss on axon growth regulatory pathways in sensory neurons. The findings will have significant impact on our understanding of sensory dysfunctions in Rett syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders at large.

DOK6 Selectively Docks the Neurotrophic Signaling Transduction to Restrain Peripheral Neuropathy

Project description:The appropriate and specific response of nerve cells to various external cues is essential for the establishment and maintenance of neural circuits, and this process requires the proper recruitment of adaptor molecules to selectively activate downstream pathways. Here, we identified that DOK6 is required for the maintenance of peripheral axons, and loss of Dok6 can cause typical peripheral neuropathy symptoms in mice, manifested as impaired sensory, abnormal posture, paws deformities, blocked nerve conduction, and dysmyelination. Furthermore, genetic deletion of Dok6 in peripheral neurons led to axonal degeneration and hindered retrograde axonal transport. Specifically, DOK6 acts as an adaptor protein for selectivity-mediated neurotrophic signal transduction and retrograde transport for TrkC and Ret but not TrkA and TrkB. DOK6 interacts with certain proteins in the trafficking machinery and controls their phosphorylation, including MAP1B, Tau and Dynein for axonal transport, and specifically activates the downstream ERK1/2 kinase pathway to maintain axonal survival and homeostasis. This finding provides new clues to potential insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of hereditary peripheral neuropathies or other degenerative diseases.

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

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.
