Prior activity of olfactory receptor neurons is required for proper sensory processing and behavior in Drosophila larvae

ABSTRACT: Animal responses to their environment rely on activation of sensory neurons by external stimuli. In many sensory systems, however, neurons display basal activity prior to the external stimuli. This prior activity is thought to modulate neural functions, yet its impact on animal behavior remains elusive. Here, we reveal a potential role for prior activity in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in shaping larval olfactory behavior. We show that prior activity in larval ORNs is mediated by the olfactory receptor complex (OR complex). Mutations of Orco, an odorant co-receptor required for OR complex function, cause reduced attractive behavior in response to optogenetic activation of ORNs. Calcium imaging reveals that Orco mutant ORNs fully respond to optogenetic stimulation but exhibit altered temporal patterns of neural responses. These findings together suggest a critical role for prior activity in information processing upon ORN activation in Drosophila larvae, which in turn contributes to olfactory behavior control.

Single-cell transcriptomes of developing and adult olfactory receptor neurons in Drosophila

Project description:Recognition of environmental cues is essential for the survival of all organisms. Precise transcriptional changes occur to enable the generation and function of the neural circuits underlying sensory perception. To gain insight into these changes, we generated single-cell transcriptomes of Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), thermosensory and hygrosensory neurons from the third antennal segment at an early developmental and adult stage. We discovered that ORNs maintain expression of the same olfactory receptors across development. Using these receptors and computational approaches, we matched transcriptomic clusters corresponding to anatomically and physiologically defined neuronal types across multiple developmental stages. Cell-type-specific transcriptomes, in part, reflected axon trajectory choices in early development and sensory modality in adults. Our analysis also uncovered type specific and broadly expressed genes that could modulate adult sensory responses. Collectively, our data reveal important transcriptomic features of sensory neuron biology and provides a resource for future studies of their development and physiology.

Single-cell Transcriptomes Reveal Diverse Regulatory Strategies for Olfactory Receptor Expression and Axon Targeting

Project description:Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we comprehensively characterized the transcriptomes of Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) from middle pupal stage antennae. These ORNs are from 3 genotypes: nSyb-GAL4 labels 44 ORN types, 85A10-GAL4 labels 5 ORN types, and AM29-GAL4 labels 2 ORN types.

Cystic fibrosis causes olfactory system defects by altering progenitor cell proliferation (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:A reduced sense of smell has been reported in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). These olfactory defects have largely been attributed to secondary manifestations of the disease, such as inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Here we show that CFTR, the gene responsible for CF, is expressed in proliferating olfactory human cells and that newborn CFTR null pigs display ultrastructural abnormalities in the olfactory epithelium and olfactory bulbs. In the absence of CFTR, olfactory sensory neurons still produce odor-evoked activity, but mutant animals display defective odor-guided suckling behavior after birth. Consistent with epithelial changes, we found a reduced expression of genes implicated in cell cycle and development in globose basal cells (GBCs), the neurogenic progenitor cells in the olfactory epithelium. Targeted sequencing revealed enhanced CFTR expression in the subpopulation of GBCs that is actively proliferating. Furthermore, CFTR loss caused a global reduction in the number of sensory neurons and altered olfactory receptors expression. Our findings highlight a previously unknown role of CFTR in olfactory system function by regulating progenitor cell proliferation in the olfactory epithelium.

Genome-wide location analysis of FLAG-H2BE

Project description:We have identified a replication-independent histone variant, Hist2h2be (referred to herein as H2be), which is expressed exclusively by olfactory chemosensory neurons. Levels of H2BE are heterogeneous among olfactory neurons, but stereotyped according to the identity of the co-expressed olfactory receptor (OR). Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that changes in H2be expression affect olfactory function and OR representation in the adult olfactory epithelium. We show that H2BE expression is reduced by sensory activity and that it promotes neuronal cell death, such that inactive olfactory neurons display higher levels of the variant and shorter life spans. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of H2BE differ from those of the canonical H2B, consistent with a role for H2BE in altering transcription. We propose a physiological function for H2be in modulating olfactory neuron population dynamics to adapt the OR repertoire to the environment. The objective of generating this dataset was to analyze the occupancy of H2BE protein in the vicinity of gene promoters throughout the genome, relative to histone H3, in olfactory sensory neurons within the main olfactory epithelium (MOE). This dataset analyzes the occupancy of FLAG-H2BE protein in the vicinity of gene promoters throughout the genome, relative to histone H3, in olfactory sensory neurons within the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) of Flag-H2be transgenic mice, which express a FLAG-tagged version of H2BE from the H2be promoter. There are 2 replicates for each ChIP (FLAG and H3).

Sequencing of methylated GATC DNA fragments (Targeted DamID) from seven olfactory neuron populations in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:This project’s aim was to compare the transcriptional profiles of olfactory sensory neurons in Drosophila melanogaster in order to identify novel genes that specify neuron-specific functions/phenotypes or may otherwise be involved in the development of the olfactory system. The isolation of sufficient numbers of intact olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) from the antenna of Drosophila melanogaster has so far limited single-cell transcriptomic approaches being applied to the adult fly antenna. Targeted DamID (TaDa) provides an alternative approach for profiling transcriptional activity in a cell-specific manor that bypasses the need for isolating OSN. Using the Gal4/UAS system, we applied TaDa to seven OSN populations and compared differences in Pol II occupancy for genes across these datasets.

Gene body 5-hydroxymethylcytosine facilitates transcription in olfactory neurons

Project description:The modified DNA base 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is enriched in neurons where it may contribute to gene function and cellular identity. To address this issue in an in vivo neuronal population, we assessed the patterning, stability, and function of the base within gene bodies in olfactory sensory neurons. We find that gene body 5hmC linearly correlates with transcriptional output and is stable in fully mature neurons and those lacking de novo methyltransferase activity. Overexpression of Tet3, which oxidizes methylated cytosines (5mC) to 5hmC, markedly alters gene body 5hmC levels and provides evidence that 5hmC facilitates transcription. This manipulation disrupts olfactory receptor expression and the targeting of axons to the olfactory bulb, key molecular and anatomical features of the olfactory system that are necessary for proper physiology. Our results support a direct, positive and physiologically significant role for gene body 5hmC in transcriptional elongation and the maintenance of cellular identity independent of its function as an intermediate to demethylation. We assessed the role of 5hmC in mature olfactory sensory neurons by assessing 5hmC levels in 2 month old neurons, olfactory epithelia lacking Dnmt3a, and mOSNs overexpressing Tet3. To determine genome-wide levels of 5hmC, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to Illumina sequencing. To determine transcript levels, we prepared and sequenced rRNA-depleted cDNA libraries.
