Project description:Expression of one out of > 1000 olfactory receptor (OR) genes is stochastic, yet organized into anatomic "zones" along the dorsoventral axis of the olfactory epithelium. Here we profile the gene expression, chromatin state and nuclear architecture of olfactory sensory neurons and olfactory progenitors of different zones. We discovered that zonal OR expression is specified by two processes: low-level polygenic transcription of OR genes in olfactory progenitors, as wells as the chromatin structure and nuclear architecture during olfactory differentiation. Specifically, in cells of any zonal segment, polygenic transcription in olfactory progenitors defines the OR repertoire eligible for OR choice as the cells mature, while an increased level of heterochromatin and chromatin compaction represses ectopic more dorsally expressed ORs. We find that this process is regulated by the NFI family of transcription factors that are expressed in a graded fashion in the olfactory epithelium. Conditional deletion of NFI A, B, and X results in a transformation of the chromatin state and nucellar architecture and an accompanying shift in the preferred OR repertoire.

Project description:Olfactory sensory neurons distinguish a large variety of odor molecules and direct the information through their axons to the olfactory bulb, the first site for the processing of olfactory information in the brain. Olfaction is very important for most mammals for the maintenance of a good quality of life. Accumulating evidences endorse that olfactory sensory decline is connected with neurodegenerative disorders including schizophrenia, depression, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. For several decades, neuroanatomical, volumetric, and histological approaches have been the gold standard techniques employed to characterize the olfactory bulb functionality. Diagnosis and treatment of olfactory dysfunction remain significant health care challenges to society. Novel strategies and clues that assist in the identification of biomarker and drug development for aid in the prevention and cure of neurological diseases are necessary. However, little attention has been focused specifically on the molecular composition of the olfactory bulb from the perspective of proteomics. To this end, an in-depth mapping of the olfactory bulb proteome was carried out using high resolution tandem mass spectrometry, revealing a repertoire of 7,754 proteins. A large proportion of the identified proteins were predicted to be involved in diverse biological processes including signal transduction, metabolism, transport, olfaction and protein synthesis. Pathway analysis of the identified proteins shows that, these proteins are predominantly involved in metabolic and neural processes, chromatin modeling, and synaptic vesicle transport associated with neuronal transmission. In total, our study offers valuable understandings into the molecular composition of the human olfactory bulb proteome that could possibly help neuroscience community to understand the olfactory bulb better and open avenues for intervention strategies for olfactory dysfunction in the future.

Project description:We have identified a replication-independent histone variant, Hist2h2be (referred to herein as H2be), which is expressed exclusively by olfactory chemosensory neurons. Levels of H2BE are heterogeneous among olfactory neurons, but stereotyped according to the identity of the co-expressed olfactory receptor (OR). Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that changes in H2be expression affect olfactory function and OR representation in the adult olfactory epithelium. We show that H2BE expression is reduced by sensory activity and that it promotes neuronal cell death, such that inactive olfactory neurons display higher levels of the variant and shorter life spans. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of H2BE differ from those of the canonical H2B, consistent with a role for H2BE in altering transcription. We propose a physiological function for H2be in modulating olfactory neuron population dynamics to adapt the OR repertoire to the environment. The objective of generating this dataset was to analyze the effects of H2be loss of function on gene expression in the main olfactory epithelium of 6-month old mice. This dataset compares gene expression in wild type and H2be-KO main olfactory epithelium (MOE) samples. There are six replicates for each genotype (equal mixture of males and females).

Project description:The olfactory gene repertoire is largely species-specific, shaped by the nature and necessityof chemosensory information for survival in each species' niche. We are intrigued by thisinterspecific variation and aim to investigate the olfactory transcriptome across mammals forevidence of selection at the level of receptor gene choice. Having collected this data frommice and rats, we now wish to extend the analysis to cows, and three primates. All of whichhave a well annotated olfactory sub-genome.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

This dataset analyzes the occupancy of FLAG-H2BE protein in the vicinity of gene promoters throughout the genome, relative to histone H3, in olfactory sensory neurons within the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) of Flag-H2be transgenic mice, which express a FLAG-tagged version of H2BE from the H2be promoter. There are 2 replicates for each ChIP (FLAG and H3).

This dataset compares gene expression in wild type and H2be-GF main olfactory epithelium (MOE) samples. There are 6 replicates for WT and 4 replicates for H2be-GF (equal mixture of males and females).

Project description:Olfactory ensheathing cells are one of the few central nervous system regenerative cells discovered so far. It is characterized by its lifelong nerve regeneration function, and it can also release a variety of neurotrophic factors and neural adhesion molecules. It is considered to be the glial cell with the strongest myelination ability. Olfactory ensheathing cells and Schwann cells have phenotypes in common, they can promote axon regeneration(R. Doucette, 1995). Olfactory ensheathing cells have the characteristics of Schwann cells and astrocytes, but the overall performance tends to be the former, which has two unique characteristics. First, it exists not only in the peripheral nerves (Schwann cells), but also in the central nervous system (astroglia); second, the olfactory mucosa has the ability to regenerate life-long, including human olfactory ensheathing cells(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000). Regeneration is a process in which olfactory ensheathing cells participate in efficient regulation, although the specific mechanism is not yet clear. Olfactory ensheathing cells are different from astrocytes and Schwann cells, but at the same time have the characteristics of these two cells(S. C. Barnett, 2004), like Schwann cells help axon growth, but more than Schwann cells It can make axons grow long distances, that is, it has stronger migration(A. Ramon-Cueto et al., 1998); there are also astrocytes that have a nutritional effect on the survival of neurons and the growth of axons, but olfactory ensheathing cells can also wrap neurons forms myelin sheath to support the growth of nerve processes(R. Devon and R. Doucette, 1992; J. Gu et al., 2019). There are two characteristics that make olfactory ensheathing cells the best choice for the treatment of neurological diseases(S. C. Chiu et al., 2009; J. Kim et al., 2018; M. Abdel-Rahman et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells are gradually used to treat spinal cord injuries and have shown amazing effects(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000; K. J. Liu et al., 2010; R. Yao et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells that have been used in research are usually derived from the olfactory bulb(E. H. Franssen et al., 2007), but it is easier to obtain olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa in clinical practice(M. Ryszard et al., 2006), so the difference between the olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and the olfactory mucosa There are more and more studies(B. M. U. et al., 2007), and previous studies have shown that they not only have many similar functions, but also have many differences(M. W. Richter et al., 2005; L. Wang et al., 2014; K. E. Smith et al., 2020). Because olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory bulb are not easy to obtain, olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory mucosa have become the focus of attention. Although we know that olfactory ensheathing cells from two sources have nerve repair functions, it is not clear why the two different sources of olfactory ensheathing cells have different therapeutic effects. Nicolas G. once studied that the genetic difference between the two cells and found that there are many genes related to wound repair and nerve regeneration(G. Nicolas et al., 2010). We have reason to guess that olfactory ensheathing cells from these two sources will also have a large difference in protein level. Our research group wants to use the current mature transcriptome and proteomic sequencing technologies to explore the difference between olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and olfactory mucosa, and explain why the two sources of olfactory ensheathing cells shows different therapeutic effects, hope to provide a new theoretical basis for future clinical treatment.
