Differentially expressed genes in isolated postnatal AP2e WT and null VNOs

ABSTRACT: Understanding the molecular mechanisms defining and maintaining the identity of a specific neuronal cell type is a central goal in neuroscience. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mice contains hundreds of distinct vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs). The VSNs are classified into two major cell types that are segregated in apical and basal regions of the VNO, express vomeronasal receptors of different superfamilies, and send axons to different portions of the accessory olfactory bulb. How apical or basal identity of VSNs is established and maintained is largely unknown. Here we attempt to assess the role of a single transcription factor, AP-2ε, in the VNO of mice. We used microarrays to examine global effect of AP-2ε loss-of-function on gene expression in the vomeronasal organ.

Gene expression profiling from whole VNOs after tfap2eCre-mediated Smad4 ablation in immature basal vomeronasal neurons and OMPCre-mediated Smad4 ablation in all mature vomeronasal neurons

Project description:The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mice contains two main types of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs)- Apical and Basal. Apical VSNs express vomeronasal receptors (VRs) of the V1R family and project to the anterior accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) and VSNs in the basal portions of the epithelium express receptors of the V2R family and project to the posterior portion of the AOB. In the vomeronasal epithelium of mice we found active BMP signaling. By generating Smad4 conditional mutants we disrupted canonical TGF-b/BMP signaling in either maturing basal VSNs or in mature apical and basal VSNs.

Single cell RNA sequencing of P10 and adult vomeronasal organ of OMPCreR26AP2e and Controls

Project description:Neuronal identity dictates the position in an epithelium, and the ability to detect, process, and transmit specific signals to specified targets. Traditionally, transcription factors (TFs) determine cellular identity via direct modulation of genetic transcription and recruiting chromatin modifiers. However, our understanding of the mechanisms that define neuronal identity and their magnitude remains a critical barrier to elucidate the etiology of congenital and neurodegenerative disorders. The structure of the rodent vomeronasal organ provides a unique system to examine in detail the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation and maturation of chemosensory neurons (VSNs). Here we demonstrated that the identity of postmitotic/maturing VSNs and vomeronasal dependent behaviors can be reprogrammed through the rescue of AP-2e expression in the AP-2eNull mice and by inducing ectopic AP-2e expression in mature apical VSNs. Our data suggest that the transcription factor AP-2e directly controls the expression of batteries of vomeronasal genes.

single cell RNA sequencing of adult (P60) vomeronasal organ

Project description:The vomeronasal organ of mice consists of two major types of vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) expressing either receptors of the V1R or V2R family. V1R and V2R VSNs form from a common pool of progenitors but have distinct differentiation programs. We analyzed single cell RNA sequencing data of adult VNO and identified differential expression of Notch1 receptor and Dll4 ligand among the neuronal precursors at the VSN dichotomy. We further demonstrated that Notch signaling is required for effective differentiation of V2R+ basal VSNs.

Following the p63/Keratin5 Basal Cells in the Sensory and Nonsensory Epithelia of The Vomeronasal Organ

Project description:The Vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a part of the accessory olfactory system, which is responsible for detecting pheromones, chemical factors that trigger a spectrum of sexual and social behaviors. The vomeronasal epithelium (VNE) shares several features with the epithelium of the main olfactory epithelium (MOE). However, it is a distinct neuroepithelium populated by chemosensory neurons that differ from the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in cellular structure, receptor expression, and connectivity. The vomeronasal organ of rodents comprises a sensory epithelium and a thin nonsensory epithelium that morphologically resembles the respiratory epithelium. Sox2-positive cells have been previously identified as the stem cell population that gives rise to neuronal progenitors in MOE and VNE. In addition to these, the MOE also comprises p63 positive horizontal basal cells (HBCs), a second pool of quiescent stem cells that become active in response to injury. Immunolabeling against the transcription factor p63, Keratin-5 (Krt5), Krt14 and Krt5Cre tracing experiments highlighted the existence of horizontal basal cells distributed along the basal lamina of the VNO forming from progenitors along the basal lamina oft the marginal zones. Moreover, these experiments revealed that the NSE of rodents is, like the respiratory epithelium, a stratified epithelium where the p63/Krt5+ basal cells self-replicate and give rise to the apical columnar cells facing the lumen of the VNO.

Transcriptome of the vomeronasal organ in Vmn2r1 knock out mice

Project description:<1. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) in the nose of most tetrapods is a sensory structure for the detection of pheromones and kairomones (intra-specific and inter-specific chemical signals) that initiate innate behaviours. It has two neuronal layers, each expressing distinct receptor sub-families coupled to different G-proteins. Neurones in the apical layer express a single vomeronasal receptor type 1 and the G?i2 G-protein. On the other hand, neurons in the basal layer express two or more vomeronasal receptors type-2 (V2Rs) and the G?o G-protein. In mice, V2Rs are organized into four families, A, B, D and C, with family-A and -C sub-divided into subfamilies A1-A10 and C1-C2. These gene families are expressed in a unique combinatorial pattern. Families A (subfamilies A1-A6), B and D are expressed monogenically and coexpress with the recently expanded family-C2 (6 genes, Vmn2r2 to Vmn2r7). While neurons expressing the phylogenetically ancient subfamily-C2 (1 gene, Vmn2r1) coexpress with family-BD and subfamilies A8-A10.We have generated a knock-out mouse for gene Vmn2r1 gene, using a Eucomm tm1b allele. This mouse is a valuable resource for further understanding the molecular organization of the VNO and its behavioural implications, in an evolutionary context. We propose here, to sequence the VNO of Vmn2r1 mutant mice. By studying the VNO transcriptome we hope to advance our knowledge of the genetic coding of pheromonal communication.

Proteomic evaluation of urine of the female of domestic dog (Canis familiaris), during different stages of ovarian cycle

Project description:Chemical signals are essential for communication between living organisms. Dogs possess two sensory organs enabling chemical communication; the main olfactory system and the vomeronasal organ (VNO). Besides, contact chemoreception is also pertinent, by which non-volatile molecules, including but not limited to proteins, are recognized as chemical signals. However, non-volatile chemical signals have been sparsely studied in dogs. Therefore, we aimed to examine the urinary proteins of female domestic dogs during estrus and anestrus phases to detect and identify such non-volatile chemical signals.

Project description:High-throughput RNA sequencing of the olfactory system of newborn mice.With this study we aim to assess the expression profile of the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) and the vomeronasal organ (VNO) at birth in C57BL/6J mice. Tissue was collected from P0.5 pups and three to four individuals were pooled for each sample. Three biological replicates were obtained for each organ. RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy kit using standard protocols. All six RNA samples were multiplexed together and sequenced in two lanes on the Illumina HiSeq platform.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
