New schwann cell markers identified by gene profiling analysis after axonal contact

ABSTRACT: Elucidating the genes regulated during cell-cell communication remains fascinating considering the importance of cell recognition and downstream signaling through development and in many diseases. In the peripheral nervous system, the interaction between Schwann cells (SCs) and axons is crucial as it allows their survival and induces SCs to differentiate and engage a process of myelination. To get further insight the molecular mechanisms resulting from this cell interaction, comparative gene analysis between SCs and SCs co-cultured with DRG neurons were performed and led us to identify a set of 32 genes regulated in SCs in the early stage of neuron-SC contact. Expression of several candidates were analyzed by QPCR during development and we demonstrate using a blocking antibody approach in an in vitro myelination assay that one candidate was not only upregulated in response to axonal contact but also controls peripheral myelination. Three biological replicates each in dye swap for 22k slides and two biological replicates each in dye swap for NeuroDev2

Scaling proprioceptor gene transcription by retrograde NT3 signaling

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of identified DRG subpopulations. Cell-type specific intrinsic programs instruct neuronal subpopulations before target-derived factors influence later neuronal maturation. Retrograde neurotrophin signaling controls neuronal survival and maturation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons, but how these potent signaling pathways intersect with transcriptional programs established at earlier developmental stages remains poorly understood. Here we determine the consequences of genetic alternation of NT3 signaling on genome-wide transcription programs in proprioceptors, an important sensory neuron subpopulation involved in motor reflex behavior. We find that the expression of many proprioceptor-enriched genes is dramatically altered by genetic NT3 elimination, independent of survival-related activities. Combinatorial analysis of gene expression profiles with proprioceptors isolated from mice expressing surplus muscular NT3 identifies an anticorrelated gene set with transcriptional levels scaled in opposite directions. Voluntary running experiments in adult mice further demonstrate the maintenance of transcriptional adjustability of genes expressed by DRG neurons, pointing to life-long gene expression plasticity in sensory neurons. We combined a mouse line expressing GFP under the control of the TrkC promoter (BAC transgene approach) with various NT3 signaling mutants in order to identify the transcriptional changes in identified subpopulations of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Sorted cells were processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Analysis was performed a postnatal (p) day p0. Subsequent analysis focused on the transcriptional profile of DRG neuron subpopulations at specific lumbar levels. Additional work addressed the transcriptional changes in whole DRG in adult mice with and without physical exercise.

Comparative microarray analysis of NaV1.8-expressing DRG neurons and cold-sensitive non-NaV1.8-expressing DRG neurons

Project description:The vast majority of cold sensitive DRG neurons from mice do not express the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8. Therefore, we aimed to compare the molecular profiles of NaV1.8 and non-NaV1.8-expressing neurons using microarray analysis. Fluorescent activated cell sorting was performed at 4 degrees centigrade on acutely dissociated DRG neurons from mice expressing NaV1.8-Cre, Pirt-GCaMP3 and a Cre-dependent global reporter (td tomato). NaV1.8-expressing neurons were sorted based on their reporter fluorescence (td tomato; red) and putative cold sensing neurons were sorted based on their GCaMP3 fluorescence at 4 degrees centigrade and absence of Cre-dependent reporter fluorescence. A total of three mice were used (samples one, two and three) with GCaMP3 only and NaV1.8-expressing neurons forming two relative populations within each sample (eg. GC3 one is the experimental counterpart of Tom one).

Whole transcriptome analysis of FACS purified somatosensory neuron subtypes and whole dorsal root ganglia tissue

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of somatosensory neurons in the periphery, including major, non-overlapping populations that include nociceptors, pruriceptors, and prorioceptors. The mammalian somatosensory nervous system encodes the perception of specific environmental stimuli. The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contains distinct somatosensory neuron subtypes that innervate diverse peripheral tissues, mediating the detection of thermal, mechanical, proprioceptive, pruriceptive, and nociceptive stimuli. We purified discrete subtypes of mouse DRG somatosensory neurons by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled mouse lines (SNS-Cre/TdTomato, Parv-Cre/TdTomato) in combination with Isolectin B4-FITC surface staining (IB4). This allowed identification of transcriptional differences between these major populations, revealing enrichment of voltage-gated ion channels, TRP channels, G-protein coupled receptors, transcription factors, and other functionally important classes of genes within specific somatosensory neuron subsets. SNS-Cre mice were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato mice to generate SNS-Cre/TdTomato reporter mice. Parv-Cre mice were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato mice to generate Parv-Cre/TdTomato mice. Isolectin B4-FITC was used to stain the surface of SNS-Cre/TdTomato reporter mice. We used these strategies of fluorescent labeling to purify distinct murine sensory neuron subsets from the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Neurons were sorted directly in Qiazol for total RNA extraction and microarray analysis. Whole DRG tissue was also included for transcriptome analysis to compare with purified neuronal populations.

Identification of gene targets of Meis1

Project description:The homeodomain protein Meis1 is essential for definitive hematopoiesis and vascular patterning in the mouse embryo. Our present study suggested it exerts two distinguishable effects in differentiating ES cells. First, it increases the numbers of hematopoietic progenitors and extends their persistence in culture. Second, Meis1 skews hematopoietic differentiation by suppressing erythroid while enhancing megakaryocytic progenitor differentiation. To identify the underlying transcriptional bases of these actions, we carried out microarray analysis to compare the various populations of cells developing in ES differentiation cultures in the presence and absence of Meis1 induction. ES cells with dox-inducible Meis1 (A2lox.Meis1) were differentiated as embryoid bodies (EBs) for 6 days before plating on OP9-GFP cell monolayers and cytokines, and treated with (+) or without (-) doxycycline (dox). Cells were purified by cell sorting on day 7 or 8 into various populations based on levels of CD41 expression: GFP-CD41-, GFP-CD41+ (day 7) and GFP-CD41-,GFP-CD41int, and GFP-CD41hi (day 8). Gene expression of these purified populations was determined by microarray analysis.

Identification of gene targets of Meis2

Project description:The homeodomain protein Meis1 is essential for definitive hematopoiesis and vascular patterning in the mouse embryo. Meis2, another member of the same family, shares 82% protein identities with Meis1. Our present study suggested Meis2 exerts two distinguishable effects in differentiating ES cells. First, it increases the numbers of hematopoietic progenitors and extends their persistence in culture. Second, Meis2 skews hematopoietic differentiation by suppressing erythroid while enhancing megakaryocytic progenitor differentiation. To identify the underlying transcriptional bases of these actions, we carried out microarray analysis to compare the various populations of cells developing in ES differentiation cultures in the presence and absence of Meis2 induction.

Expression data of three sets of cells: (1) Schwann cells and macrophages from 1m-old WT DRG, (2) Schwann cells (Nf1-/-) and macrophages (Nf1+/+) from 1m-old neurofibroma, (3) Schwann cells (Nf1-/-) and macrophages (Nf1+/+) from 7m-old neurofibroma

Project description:Schwann cells and macrophages were dissociated from normal DRGs and 1- and 7-month-old neurofibroma. Schwann cells from neurofibroma have Nf1-/- phenotypes. All macrophages have Nf1+/+ phenotypes. We used microarrays (Affymetrix MoGene 2.0 ST GeneChip) to detect transcriptomal changes between 7-month-old neurofibroma Schwann cells (or macrophages) versus 1-month-old wild-type (or neurofibroma) Schwann cells (or macrophages). Expression data of three sets of cells: (1)Schwann cells and macrophages from 1-month-old wild-type mouse dorsal root ganglia, (2) Schwann cells (Nf1-/-) and macrophages (Nf1+/+) from 1-month-old neurofibroma, (3) Schwann cells (Nf1-/-) and macrophages (Nf1+/+) from 7-month-old neurofibroma We chopped mouse DRG/neurofibromas into 1-3 mm^3 pieces and plated them in dissociation medium containing 20mL L-15 (Mediatech), 0.5 mg/mL collagenase type 1 (Worthington; Lakewood, NJ), and 2.5 mg/mL dispase protease type II (Cambrex; East Rutherford, NJ) at 37Â°C for 4-6 hours with shaking. The dissociation reaction was stopped by adding DMEM +10%FBS. Undigested DRG/tumors were excluded by 100ÂµM cell strainer. Cells were collected by centrifugation. For each microarrays (Schwann cell, macrophage), Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console (v4.0.0) was used to create .chp files. All the probe sets on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST array (Mogene-2_0-st-v1.na33.2.mm10) were summarized by Affymetix Expression Console program using robust multi-chip average (RMA) method . After preprocessing steps, data from two batches were combined and their batch effects were corrected using ComBat method Please note that [1] all MP samples are Nf1+/+ (no mutation on Nf1 gene) and the only difference is their ages (1month, 7month) and [2] the 'nf1' in sample title reperesents "neurofibroma type1 disease", not "Nf1 gene".

10x single cell RNAseq of chick ectoderm from stages HH5 to ss4

Project description:The vertebrate ectoderm gives rise to a variety of cell lineages, including neural, neural crest, placodal and non-neural cell fates. How cell fates are specified at the neural plate border (the region surrounding the neural plate) is not fully understood. We therefore carried out 10x scRNAseq of the chick epiblast to investigate cell fate specification at the neural plate border. Embryos were dissected and pooled according to stage. The tissue was then dissociated and FAC sorted to remove dead cells and remaining doublets before cells were stored in MeOH. Due to the time required to dissect embryos, multiple rounds of collections were carried out, with collections from the same stage pooled prior to 10x sequencing. Libraries were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 at the Francis Crick Institute, London. This collection was a follow up to E-MTAB-10408.
