Cellular diversity of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Background: The trigeminal ganglion (TG) is a structure of the peripheral nervous system, composed of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types, that integrates sensory input from the face and jaw. The developing TG is derived from two embryonic cell populations: neural crest and cranial placode. Both populations play critical roles in TG development and must interact to coordinate changes in gene expression that regulate specification, differentiation, and organization. However, the molecular characteristics of the heterogeneous cell populations within the developing TG remain poorly defined. Results: We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) on TG from developing chick embryos at HH17. Our high-resolution dataset (14 clusters, ~87000 cells) provides insight into cellular diversity within the developing TG. As expected, we identified placode-derived neurons as well as neural crest cells prior to neuronal differentiation. In addition to classic markers, we identified novel transcripts with unknown roles in TG development, including several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Conclusions: We generated a single-cell atlas of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion during early axonogenesis and defined the transcriptomic states of its diverse cell populations. Our results provide a useful resource for better understanding the cell populations contributing to TG development and gene expression that drives cell identity and differentiation.

The transcriptional landscape of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion

Project description:The trigeminal ganglion is a critical structure in the peripheral nervous system, responsible for transmitting sensations of touch, pain, and temperature from craniofacial regions to the brain. Trigeminal ganglion development depends upon intrinsic cellular programming as well as extrinsic signals exchanged by diverse cell populations. With its complex anatomy and dual cellular origin from cranial placodes and neural crest cells, the trigeminal ganglion offers a rich context for examining diverse biological processes, including cell migration, fate determination, adhesion, and axon guidance. Avian models have, so far, enabled key insights into craniofacial and peripheral nervous system development. Yet, the molecular mechanisms driving trigeminal ganglion formation and subsequent nerve growth remain elusive. In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing at multiple stages of chick trigeminal ganglion development and generated a novel transcriptomic dataset that has been curated to illustrate temporally dynamic gene expression patterns. This publicly available resource identifies major pathways involved in trigeminal gangliogenesis, particularly with respect to the condensation and maturation of placode-derived neurons, thus inviting new lines of research into the essential processes governing trigeminal ganglion development.

Chick Otic Placode Induction Arrays

Project description:The inner ear develops from a patch of thickened cranial ectoderm adjacent to the hindbrain called the otic placode. Studies in a number of vertebrate species suggest that the initial steps in induction of the otic placode are regulated by members of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family, and that inhibition of FGF signaling can prevent otic placode formation. To better understand the genetic pathways activated by FGF signaling during otic placode induction, we performed microarray experiments to estimate the proportion of chicken otic placode genes that can be up-regulated by the FGF pathway in a simple culture model of otic placode induction. Surprisingly, we find that FGF is only sufficient to induce about 15% of chick otic placode-specific genes in our experimental system. However, pharmacological blockade of the FGF pathway in cultured chick embryos showed that although FGF signaling was not sufficient to induce the majority of otic placode-specific genes, it was still necessary for their expression in vivo. These inhibitor experiments further suggest that the early steps in otic placode induction regulated by FGF signaling occur through the MAP kinase pathway. Although our work suggests that FGF signaling is necessary for otic placode induction, it demonstrates that other unidentified signaling pathways are required to co-operate with FGF signaling to induce the full otic placode program. 8 samples were analyzed. These contain two replicates of each of the following four catergories: Otic ectoderm, Non-Otic (lateral) ectoderm, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured - FGF, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured + FGF

Transcription profiling of mouse spinal and trigeminal sensory ganglia of Brn3a knockout and wild type mice reveals conserved and distinct regulatory targets of Brn3a at different levels of the sensory axis

Project description:General somatic sensation is conveyed to the central nervous system at cranial levels by the trigeminal ganglion (TG), and at spinal levels by the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Although these ganglia have similar functions, they have distinct embryological origins, in that both contain neurons originating from the neural crest, while only the TG includes cells derived from the placodal ectoderm. Here we use microarray analysis of E13.5 embryos to demonstrate that the developing DRG and TG have very similar overall patterns of gene expression. In mice lacking the POU-domain transcription factor Brn3a the DRG and TG exhibit many common changes in downstream gene expression, but a subset of genes show increased expression only at cranial levels. Although silent in wild-type ganglia, the promoter regions of genes which are activated in the absence of Brn3a also exhibit increased histone H3-acetylation at levels similar to constitutively transcribed gene loci, and this H3-acetylation is tissue-specific for genes which are increased only in the TG. These results demonstrate that one developmental role of Brn3a is to repress potential differences in gene expression between sensory neurons generated at different axial levels, and to regulate a convergent program of developmental gene expression, in which functionally similar populations of neurons are generated from different embryological substrates. Experiment Overall Design: Microarrays used to compare the patterns of gene expression in the dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia of Brn3a knockout and wild-type mice. Embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5) was chosen because at this point in development mutant mice exhibit major defects in sensory axon growth, but have yet to undergo the period of extensive sensory neuron death associated with later stages.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of the trigeminal ganglion of mice under normal and inflammatory pain conditions

Project description:Orofacial inflammation could lead to transcriptional alterations in the trigeminal ganglion (TG). In this study, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of mouse TG to identify all cell types and profile transcriptomic alterations of TG cells under inflammatory conditions. A total of 7 types of cells including endothelial cells, fibroblasts, glial cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocyte-macrophages and several subtypes of neurons were identified. In addition, we performed annotation of neuronal subtypes and differential gene expression analysis among TG neurons, identifying several differential genes involved in pain modulation such as Scn10a, Zbtb20 and Runx1. Collectively, our study revealed the heterogeneity of TG cells and diverse neuronal transcriptomic responses to orofacial inflammation, which aids in the development of novel therapeutics for orofacial inflammatory pain.

Human and mouse trigeminal ganglia cell atlas implicates multiple cell types in migraine

Project description:The sensitization of trigeminal ganglion neurons contributes to primary headache disorders such as migraine, but the specific neuronal and non-neuronal trigeminal subtypes involved remain unclear. We thus developed a cell atlas in which human and mouse trigeminal ganglia are transcriptionally and epigenomically profiled at single-cell resolution. These data describe evolutionarily conserved and human-specific gene expression patterns within each trigeminal ganglion cell type, as well as the transcription factors and gene regulatory elements that contribute to cell-type-specific gene expression. We then leverage these data to identify trigeminal ganglion cell types that are implicated both by human genetic variation associated with migraine and two mouse models of headache. This trigeminal ganglion cell atlas improves our understanding of the cell types, genes, and epigenomic features involved in headache pathophysiology and establishes a rich resource of cell-type-specific molecular features to guide the development of more selective treatments for headache and facial pain.

Quantifying the effects of lack of Stim2 on neuronal origin cells at single cell resolution

Project description:Stromal interaction molecule (STIM) proteins reside on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and regulate Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling. The stim2a and stim2b double-knockout zebrafish have problems with vision, altered retinal pigment epithelium and thinner ganglion cell layer, and display decreased survival under low oxygen conditions. Also, genes related to light perception are downregulated in the (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish. In this study, we investigated the effect of lack of Stim2 on neuronal origin cells with single cell RNA sequencing. Utilizing a manifold learning-based method, we identified the subset of cells that were affected the most by the double-knockout. We found that genes involved in development of retina and trigeminal placode were downregulated in that subset of cells in the (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish. According to marker gene expression, (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish had decreased number of retinal ganglion cells expressing midkine b (mdkb), amacrine cells (ptmaa, ptmab), cells of the inner nuclear layer (calb2a), and trigeminal placode or sensory neurons (elavl4, slc17a6b) than (stim2a;stim2b)+/+ zebrafish. Furthermore, global downregulation of genes, especially ribosomal protein coding genes, linked with abnormality of retinal pigmented epithelium and brain development in general, and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and autophagy was observed in the subset of cells most affected by the double-knockout. Altogether, the results revealed potential mechanisms through which Stim2 may regulate vision/sensory circuitry, cellular response to hypoxia, and prevent neurodegeneration.
