Regulation of somatosensory mechanotransduction by Annexin A6

ABSTRACT: 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.

Transcriptome profiles of distinct mechanoreceptive somatosensory neuron subtypes

Project description:The objective of the study was to identify molecules that are selectively expressed in proprioceptive sensory neurons (pSNs) in DRG. To try to achieve this goal, we performed RNAseq on genetically identified and FACS purified cohorts that either contained i) pSNs and rapidly-adapting low threshold mechanoreceptors (RA-LTMRs), iI) pSNs and slowly-adapting (SA)-LTMRs, or RA-LTMRs only. Differential expression analysis between these different sensory neuron cohorts identified multiple proprioceptor enriched transcripts.

High-throughput RNA seq data of mouse embryonic stem cells and intermediate states throughout their differentiation into motor neurons

Project description:Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive (MS) ion channel with characteristic fast-inactivation kinetics expressed in multiple mammalian cells. We found a slowly-inactivating MS current in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells and characterized it throughout a model differentiation into motor neurons in order to investigate its components. MS currents were large and slowly-inactivating in the stem cell stage, and became gradually smaller and faster-inactivating throughout the differentiation. We found that Piezo1 is expressed in mES cells, and its knockout abolishes MS currents, indicating that the slowly-inactivating current in mES cells is carried by Piezo1. To investigate the reason for its uncharacteristic slow inactivation kinetics in these cells, we cloned Piezo1 cDNA from mES cells and studied whether the expressed variant displays intrinsic slow kinetics. The variant of Piezo1 found in mES cells displays fast-inactivation kinetics in heterologous expression, indicating that sources of modulation other than the amino acid sequence determine its slow kinetics in mES cells.

Expression data from FACS purified nociceptor neurons from peripheral sensory ganglia

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of nociceptor sensory neurons, the neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia are anatomically distinct peripheral sensory ganglia that contain nociceptors which innervate skin, gut, lungs, and other distinct organ tissues. We used flow cytometry to purify nociceptors from these ganglia and profiled their global gene expression signatures to compare gene expression between these different anatomically distinct nociceptors. Nav1.8-Cre were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato to generate Nav1.8-Cre/R26-TdTomato reporter progeny, where all peripheral nociceptor neurons are genetically marked with red fluroescence due to specific expression of the TTX- resistant sodium channel Nav1.8. Lumbar region dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia were dissected from mice (3 mice were pooled/sample). Highly red fluorescent neurons were Facs purified, RNA extracted, and processed for microarray analysis.

Regulatory T cells restrain skin inflammation by modulating nociception

Project description:The skin, as a principal barrier tissue, integrates diverse signals discerned by sensory neurons and by immune cells to elicit adaptive responses to a wide range of stresses. While nociceptors, sensory neurons that initiate the sensation of pain, can mobilize and amplify the function of innate and adaptive immune effector cells, regulatory T (Treg) cells, a T cell subset expressing the transcription factor Foxp3, suppress systemic and local inflammatory responses. Considering the connectivity between nervous and immune systems for sensing and responding to damaging insults, we questioned whether Treg cells can modulate proinflammatory neuronal activity by acting directly on peripheral neurons. We found that Treg cells localized near axons innervating the skin and that short-term inactivation or ablation of Treg cells increased neuronal activation to noxious stimuli in a manner separable from their immunosuppressive function. Furthermore, a population of skin Treg cells was highly enriched for expression of Penk, the gene encoding the neuropeptide precursor for endogenous opioids enkephalins, which inhibit pain perception by inducing analgesia. Acute depletion of Penk expressing Treg cells, or inducible ablation of Penk in Treg cells increased neuronal activation in response to noxious stimuli and associated inflammation. Our study suggests that a population of Treg cells residing at barrier tissues exhibit a direct neuromodulatory activity opposing exacerbated activation of sensory neurons, at least in part through the production of an endogenous opioids, and by acting as an immune component of the neuro-immune axis, dampen responses to noxious pain stimuli and local inflammation.

Expression of receptors for inflammatory mediators in murine vagal nodose versus jugular capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) C-fiber neurons

Project description:Capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) sensory C-fibers derived from vagal ganglia innervate the visceral organs, and respond to inflammatory mediators and noxious stimuli. These neurons play an important role in maintenance of visceral homeostasis, and contribute to the symptoms of visceral inflammatory diseases. Vagal sensory neurons are located in two ganglia, the jugular ganglia (derived from the neural crest), and the nodose ganglia (from the epibranchial placodes). The functional difference, especially in response to immune mediators, between jugular and nodose neurons is not fully understood. In this study, we microscopically isolated murine nodose and jugular capsaicin-sensitive / Trpv1-expressing C-fiber neurons and performed transcriptome profiling using ultra-low input RNA sequencing.

FACS purified Nav1.8 lineage sensory neuron whole transcriptome changes following peripheral inflammation (CFA) or sciatic nerve injury (SNI).

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in FACS purified Nav1.8 lineage sensory neurons, which include nociceptor neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli, following peripheral inflammation by intraplantar injection of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) or Sciatic Nerve Injury (SNI) by nerve transection. Nav1.8 Trangsgenic TdTomato+ neurons were purified from Lumbar L4-L6 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) by flow cytometry from mice on the ipsilateral or contralateral sides, following Complete Freund's Adjuvant injection (day 1) or sciatic nerve transection (day 5). Neurons were then analyzed for transcriptional gene expression by microarray analysis.

Dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells tunes nociceptor sensitivity to mechanical stimuli in Drosophila larvae

Project description:An animal’s skin provides a first point of contact with the sensory environment, including noxious cues that elicit protective behavioral responses. Nociceptive somatosensory neurons densely innervate and intimately interact with epidermal cells to receive these cues, however the mechanisms by which epidermal interactions shape processing of noxious inputs is still poorly understood. Here, we identify a role for dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells in tuning sensitivity of Drosophila larvae to noxious mechanical stimuli. In wild-type larvae, dendrites of nociceptive class IV da neurons intercalate between epidermal cells at apodemes, which function as body wall muscle attachment sites, but not at other sites in the epidermis. From a genetic screen we identified miR-14 as a regulator of dendrite positioning in the epidermis: miR-14 is expressed broadly in the epidermis but not in apodemes, and miR-14 inactivation leads to excessive apical dendrite intercalation between epidermal cells. We found that miR-14 regulates expression and distribution of the epidermal Innexins ogre and Inx2 and that these epidermal gap junction proteins restrict epidermal dendrite intercalation. Finally, we found that altering the extent of epidermal dendrite intercalation had corresponding effects on nociception: increasing epidermal intercalation sensitized larvae to noxious mechanical inputs and increased mechanically evoked calcium responses in nociceptive neurons, whereas reducing epidermal dendrite intercalation had the opposite effects. Altogether, these studies identify epidermal dendrite intercalation as a mechanism for mechanical coupling of nociceptive neurons to the epidermis, with nociceptive sensitivity tuned by the extent of intercalation.

Intrinsic Homeostatic Plasticity in Mouse and Human Sensory Neurons

Project description:The nervous system has a tremendous capacity for experience-dependent plasticity. In response to changes in activity induced by environmental cues, many types of neurons undergo a process known as homeostatic plasticity, which serves to maintain overall network function in the face of mounting experience-dependent changes in synaptic strengths. Homeostatic plasticity involves both changes in synaptic scaling and regulation of intrinsic excitability. Increases in spontaneous firing and excitability of sensory neurons are evident in some forms of chronic pain in both animal models and in human patients. However, it is not known whether homeostatic plasticity is engaged in sensory neurons under normal conditions or whether dysfunction in these homeostatic mechanisms might contribute to the pathophysiology of chronic pain. To address these questions, we tested the impact of sustained depolarization on various measures of excitability in mouse and human sensory neurons. Depolarization induced by 30mM KCl induces a compensatory decrease in the excitability of both mouse and human sensory neurons. Moreover, we also find that voltage-gated sodium currents are robustly inhibited in mouse sensory neurons after chronic depolarization, thus contributing to the overall decrease in neuronal excitability and serving as a potential regulatory mechanism to drive intrinsic neuronal homeostatic control. Our results indicate that mouse and human sensory neurons undergo homeostatic regulation of intrinsic excitability in response to sustained depolarization. Decreased efficacy of these homeostatic mechanisms could potentially contribute to the development of pathological conditions, including chronic pain.

Transcription profiling of hind limbs from annexin A5 and A6 knock-out mice

Project description:Initiation of mineralisation during endochondral ossification is a multistep process and was assumed to correlate with specific interactions of annexins and collagens. Annexins A5 and A6 are postulated to represent the essential annexins promoting cartilage mineralisation. However, skeletal development appears to be normal in annexin A5 or A6 deficient mice. The highly conserved structures of annexins led to the assumption that annexins A5 and A6 may fulfill redundant functions. We now generated mice deficient for both proteins, annexins A5 and A6. Mice were viable, fertile and showed no obvious abnormalities. Assessment of skeletal elements using histological, ultrastructural and peripheral quantitative computed tomography methods revealed that mineralisation and development of the skeleton was not significantly affected in mutant mice. In respect of the lack of an obvious phenotype we now applied microarray analysis to the growth plate to define changes in the transcriptome of juvenile murine growth plates from mutant mice. Global gene expression analysis revealed subtle phenotypes at the transcriptome level of genes involved in cell growth and intermediate metabolism in mutant mice. These data demonstrate that both annexins are dispensable for proper cartilage mineralisation but may affect cell proliferation processes at the transcriptomic level.
