RNA sequencing in blood samples of cluster headache patients

ABSTRACT: Cluster headache is a relatively rare headache disorder, typically characterized by multiple daily, short-lasting attacks of excruciating, unilateral (peri-)orbital or temporal pain associated with autonomic symptoms and restlessness. To better understand the pathophysiology of cluster headache, we used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways in whole blood of patients with episodic (n = 19) or chronic (n = 20) cluster headache in comparison with headache-free controls (n = 20). Blood samples were subjected to globin reduction before sequencing.

Transcription profiling of human cluster headache patients peripheral blood on Affymetrix arrays vs. controls

Project description:Background - Cluster headache (CH) is a primary neurovascular headache disorder characterized by attacks of excruciating pain accompanied by ipsilateral autonomic symptoms. CH pathophysiology is presumed to involve an activation of hypothalamic and trigeminovascular systems, but inflammation and immunological mechanisms have also been hypothesized to be of importance. Objective - A pilot study to identify differentially expressed genes during different clinical phases of CH, assuming that changes of pathophysiological importance would also be seen in peripheral venous blood. Methods - Blood samples were drawn at 3 consecutive occasions from 3 episodic CH patients: during attacks,between attacks and in remission, and at 1 occasion from 3 matchedcontrols. Global gene expression was analyzed with microarray tehnology using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 2.0 Plus GeneChip Set, covering more than 54,000 gene transcripts, corresponding to almost 22,000 genes.

Identification of a rare Asian Indian Deletion [Gγ(Aγδβ)0] Delta-Beta Thalassemia using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Project description:Delta-Beta thalassemia is an unusual variant of thalassemia caused by large deletions in the β globin gene cluster involving δ- and β-globin genes. The mutations are characterized by high fetal hemoglobin with significant phenotypic diversity. Routinely used diagnostic tests targeting point mutations and small insertions, deletions of the β-globin gene are not suitable for detection of large deletion mutations. This is overcome by either direct globin chain synthesis analysis or beta-cluster gene analysis using different methods. In the current study, we use direct globin chain analysis to diagnose a family with δβ-thalassemia using high resolution mass spectrometry.

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.

Severe hydroxymethylbilane synthase deficiency causes depression-like behavior and mitochondrial dysfunction in a mouse model of homozygous dominant acute intermittent porphyria

Project description:Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant inborn error of heme biosynthesis due to a pathogenic mutation in the Hmbs gene, resulting in half-normal activity of hydroxymethylbilane synthase. Factors that induce hepatic heme biosynthesis induce episodic attacks in heterozygous patients. The clinical presentation of acute attacks involves the signature neurovisceral pain and may include psychiatric symptoms. Here we used a knock-in mouse line that is biallelic for the Hmbs c.500G>A (p.R167Q) mutation with ~5% of normal hydroxymethylbilane synthase activity to unravel the consequences of severe HMBS deficiency on affective behavior and brain physiology. Hmbs knock-in mice (KI mice) model the rare homozygous dominant form of AIP and were used as tool to elucidate the hitherto unknown pathophysiology of the behavioral manifestations of the disease and its neural underpinnings. Extensive behavioral analyses revealed a selective depression-like phenotype in Hmbs KI mice; transcriptomic and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated aberrant myelination. The uncovered compromised mitochondrial function in the hippocampus of knock-in mice and its ensuing neurogenic and neuroplastic deficits lead us to propose a mechanistic role for disrupted mitochondrial energy production in the pathogenesis of the behavioral consequences of severe HMBS deficiency and its neuropathological sequelae in the brain.

Peptide toxins that target vertebrate voltage-gated sodium channels underly the painful stings of harvester ants

Project description:Harvester ants (genus Pogonomyrmex) are notable for their stings which cause intense, long-lasting pain and other neurotoxic symptoms in vertebrates. Here we show that harvester ant venoms are relatively simple and composed largely of peptide toxins. One class of peptides is primarily responsible for the long-lasting local pain of envenomation. These hydrophobic, cysteine-free peptides activate mammalian sensory neurons via potent modulation of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels, reducing voltage threshold for activation and inhibiting channel inactivation. These toxins appear to have evolved specifically as deterrents against vertebrates.

MicroRNA-183 cluster continuously scales mechanical pain sensitivity by regulating basal and neuropathic pain gene pathways.

Project description:Nociception is protective and prevents tissue damage but can also facilitate chronic pain. If a general principle governs these two types of pain is unknown. Here, we show that both basal mechanical and neuropathic pain are controlled by microRNA-183 cluster in mice. This single cluster controls more than 80% of neuropathic pain-regulated genes and scales basal mechanical sensitivity and mechanical allodynia by regulating auxiliary voltage-gated calcium channel subunits a2d. Basal sensitivity is controlled in nociceptors and allodynia involves TrkB+ light-touch mechanoreceptors. These light-touch sensitive neurons that normally do not elicit pain produce pain during neuropathy that is reversed by gabapentin. Thus, a single miRNA cluster continuously scales acute noxious mechanical sensitivity in nociceptive neurons and suppresses neuropathic pain transduction in a specific, light-touch sensitive neuronal type recruited during mechanical allodynia.

Characterisation of chromatin states in erythroid cells from a patient with a unique severe HbH genotype (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Analyses of mutations within the a-globin cluster which downregulate a-globin expression and cause a-thalassaemia provide the basis for genetic counselling and pre-natal diagnosis of this common form of anemia. Understanding the mechanisms by which such mutations cause a-thalassemia has established many of the principles by which mammalian genes are regulated and how this goes awry in human genetic disease. ATAC-Seq and NG Capture-C data from an individual (NSE) with a unique a-globin genotype involving a deletion of the main alpha-globin enhancer on one allele and the --/SEA mutation on the other help to address how the human a-globin cluster is normally regulated.

Systematic analysis of inflammation and pain pathways in a mouse model of gout

Project description:Gout is a prevalent and painful inflammatory arthritis, and its global burden continues to rise. Intense pain induced by gout attacks is a major complication of gout. Treatment and long-term management for gout patients remain challenging. Despite the discovery of many key immune response and inflammatory genes and pathways in gout, the molecular mechanisms of gout inflammation are still not entirely elucidated. Particularly, systematic studies of gout inflammation and pain are lacking. Using a monosodium urate (MSU) crystals-induced gout model, we performed genome-wide transcriptome analysis for the ankle joint, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and spinal cord of gout mice. Our results revealed transcriptional changes in both the joint and the nervous system. Furthermore, through integrated analysis with public datasets of mouse inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain models, human GWAS, osteoarthritis (OA), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we identified common and unique features associated with acute gout inflammation and severe pain.
