Project description:Heterogeneity among somatosensory neurons is necessary for internal and external sensation. Precise patterns of gene transcription orchestrated through enhancer activation maintain heterogeneity. Thus, high-resolution cell type classification, chromatin accessibility and its relation to enhancer activation can explain the governing principles for sensory neuron heterogeneity. Here, we generated an integrated atlas from high-quality scRNA-seq datasets of the dorsal root ganglion, including over 44,000 neurons. MERSCOPE spatial transcriptomics confirmed cell types in situ, including previously unrecognized neuronal types, and a spatial zonation of both neurons and non-neuronal cells. We generated a cell type specific open chromatin atlas that revealed enhancer driven regulons and gene-regulatory networks. These were organized into co-regulated gene-programs that together defined sensory neuron diversity. Cell type complexity was found to be generated by layered co-regulated transcriptional modules representing shared functions across different scales of the neuronal type hierarchy with cell type specific contribution as the exception.

Project description:In this study, a quantitative proteomic technique based on isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was used to compare the proteome of cultured sensory and motor nerve fibroblasts (Fbs). Among a total of 2597 overlapping proteins identified, we obtained 148 differentially expressed proteins, of which 116 proteins were significantly higher expressed in sensory Fbs, and 32 proteins were significantly higher expressed in motor Fbs. Western blot and qPCR analysis were applied to validate differentially expressed proteins. Functional categorization indicated that differentially expressed proteins were linked to a diverse array of biological processes , including regeneration, axon guidance, cytoskeleton organization, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell adhesion, and tissue remodeling, which might play a critical role in the specificity of peripheral nerve regeneration. Furthermore, following co-culture of motor neurons with motor or sensory Fbs , motor Fbs significantly enhanced neurite growth than sensory Fbs. These findings indicated that nerve Fbs expressed the distinct motor and sensory phenotypes involved in different patterns of protein expression, biological processes, and effects on neurons.

Project description:The nuclear organization of the genome is accepted as an important feature of gene expression regulation. However, it has remained unknown what the spatial organization of a single transcribed gene is. Here, we made use of several long highly expressed mammalian genes to describe their structure and spatial arrangement during transcription. We demonstrate that an expressed gene forms a transcription loop with RNA polymerases moving along the loop and carrying nascent RNAs that undergo co-transcriptional splicing. Transcription loops dynamically modify their harboring loci and extend into the nuclear interior due to their intrinsic stiffness. We hypothesize that the stiffness of the transcription loop arises due to a dense decoration of gene-axis with multiple voluminous nascent ribonucleoprotein particles, thus creating a stiff polymer bottlebrush. and provide supporting evidence to this hypothesis. Our work suggests that transcription loop formation is a universal principle of eukaryotic gene expression.

Project description:During differentiation, neurons experience a reorganization of DNA modification patterns within their genomes. However, the mechanisms underlying this developmental patterning and its role in defining the neuronaÂÂl state are currently unclear. Here, we find that the dÂÂe novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a is necessary for elevated levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Through an analysis of genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC distributions in isolated OSNs, we find that Dnmt3a-dependent 5mC and 5hmC occurs within regions of high accessibility, neural enhancers, and the transcription start sites of transcribed genes. Its loss results in the global disruption of gene expression patterns, including the upregulation of silent genes, the downregulation of mOSN-expressed genes, and the alteration of odorant-induced transcriptional responses of immediate early genes. Together, these results demonstrate that Dnmt3a is necessary to define the neuronal transcriptional state and may be broadly involved in refining expression profiles within differentiated cells. To determine the contributions of Dnmt3a to the DNA modification and transcriptional landscapes of a post-mitotic neuronal population, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation (DIP-seq) using antibodies specific for 5mC and 5hmC and rRNA-depleted transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq) coupled to high-throughput sequencing using genomic DNA or RNA from FACS-isolated mature olfactory sensory neurons (mOSNs) from main olfactory epithelium (MOE) of Dnmt3a wildtype (WT), heterozygous-null (Het), or homozygous-null (KO) 3-week old mice. Similarly, to compare this information with other epigenetic features of the MOE, we performed H3K4me1 (WT), H3K27ac (WT), and H3K27me3 (WT and KO) chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and DNase I hypersensitivity assays (DNase-seq) using MOE nuclei from 3-week old mice. In addition, we assayed the influence of Dnmt3a-deficiency on the induction of odorant-responsive genes by exposing 3-week old Dnmt3a WT, Het, and KO mice to either water or a 1:1:1 mixture of amyl acetate:acetophenone:octanal for 1 hour and performed rRNA-depleted RNA-seq using RNA isolated from their MOEs.

Project description:The position of nucleosomes influences DNA accessibility to DNA-binding proteins. Genome-wide nucleosome profiles often report the observation of a canonical nucleosome organization at gene promoters where arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes emanate from nucleosome-depleted regions. It is unclear how this canonical promoter nucleosome organization forms and how it is related to transcription activation and the establishment of histone marks during development. Here we report the genome-wide organization of nucleosomes during zebrafish embryogenesis and show that well-positioned nucleosome arrays appear in thousands of promoters during the activation of the zygotic genome. The formation of canonical promoter nucleosome organization cannot be explained by DNA sequence preference, and is independent of transcription and the presence of RNA polymerase II, but strongly correlates with the presence of Histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3). Our study further suggests that promoter nucleosome structure primes genes to future transcription activation. To determine whether the occlusions are consistent in mammalian pluripotent cells, we performed the same analyses in mouse embryonic stem cells and found similar relationships.

Project description:Sensory experience drives the refinement and maturation of neural circuits during postnatal brain development through molecular mechanisms that remain to be fully elucidated. One likely mechanism involves the sensory-dependent expression of genes that encode mediators of circuit remodeling within developing cells. However, while studies in adult systems have begun to uncover crucial roles for sensory-induced genes in modifying circuit connectivity, the gene programs induced by brain cells in response to sensory experience during development remain to be fully characterized. Here, we present a single-nucleus RNA-sequencing dataset describing the transcriptional responses of cells in mouse visual cortex to sensory deprivation or acute sensory stimulation during a developmental window when visual input is necessary for circuit refinement. We sequenced 118,529 individual nuclei across sixteen neuronal and non-neuronal cortical cell types isolated from control, sensory deprived, and sensory stimulated mice, identifying over 1268 unique sensory-induced genes within the dataset. To demonstrate the utility of this resource, we compared the architecture and ontology of sensory-induced gene programs between cell types, annotated transcriptional induction and repression events based upon RNA velocity, and discovered Neurexin and Neuregulin signaling networks that underlie cell-cell interactions in visual cortex. We find that excitatory neurons, especially pyramidal neurons in cortical layers two and three, are highly sensitive to sensory stimulation, and that the sensory-induced genes in these cells are poised to strengthen synapse-to-nucleus crosstalk by heightening protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Altogether, we expect this dataset to significantly broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which sensory experience shapes neural circuit wiring in the developing brain.
