RNA-seq analysis of FACS-sorted control and Tsc2-deleted nociceptors

ABSTRACT: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomes of control heterozygous and Tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tsc2) homozygous nociceptors that have been enriched by fluorescence-associated cell sorting (FACS) with the aim of identifying differences in genes associated with sensory behavior. Nav1.8-Cre transgenic mice were used to delete Tsc2 as well as express Green fluorescent protein from the Rosa26 locus. Tsc2 deletion constitutively activates mTORC1 signaling cell autonomously. Dissociated dorsal root ganglia from adult mice were FACS-sorted for GFP and analyzed by RNA-seq. We find that a number of sensory behavior associated genes are affected by Tsc2 deletion including Calca, Ntrk1, Mrgpra3, and Nppb. Additionally, profiling of ion channel expression showed a reduction in almost half of expressed sodium, potassium and calcium channel as well as G-protein coupled receptors. Other categories of genes such as transcription factors and ligand-gated ion channels contained an even numbers of up- and downregulated genes with many that did not change as a result of Tsc2 deletion. In addition, expression of most marker genes enriched in Isolectin B4 (IB4) negative neurons were strongly reduced in Tsc2 mutant nociceptors, consistent with reduced sensitivity to heat, which is a modality related to these neurons. We conclude Tsc2 deletion and consequent mTORC1 activation alters gene expression of nociceptors resulting in altered sensory thresholds.

RNA-seq analysis of FACS-sorted control and Tsc2 cKO nociceptors with and without sciatic nerve crush

Project description:The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomes of control heterozygous and Tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tsc2) homozygous nociceptors 3 days after sciatic nerve injury that have been enriched by fluorescence-associated cell sorting (FACS) with the aim of identifying differences in genes associated with axon regeneration. Nav1.8-Cre transgenic mice were used to delete Tsc2 as well as express Green fluorescent protein from the Rosa26 locus. Tsc2 deletion constitutively activates mTORC1 signaling cell autonomously. Dissociated dorsal root ganglia from adult mice were FACS-sorted for GFP and analyzed by RNA-seq. We find that the expression of a number of regeneration-associated transcription factors including cJun, Atf3, Sox11 and other are upregulated in Tsc2 mutant neurons in the absence of an injury. Additionally, the target genes of several other normally expressed regeneration-associated transcription factors are differentially expressed in Tsc2 mutant neurons, such as Creb1 and Klf’s. We conclude Tsc2 deletion and consequent mTORC1 activation establishes a pro-regenerative gene expression profile in nociceptors in the absence of an injury.

Expression data from FACS purified nociceptor neurons from peripheral sensory ganglia

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of nociceptor sensory neurons, the neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia are anatomically distinct peripheral sensory ganglia that contain nociceptors which innervate skin, gut, lungs, and other distinct organ tissues. We used flow cytometry to purify nociceptors from these ganglia and profiled their global gene expression signatures to compare gene expression between these different anatomically distinct nociceptors. Nav1.8-Cre were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato to generate Nav1.8-Cre/R26-TdTomato reporter progeny, where all peripheral nociceptor neurons are genetically marked with red fluroescence due to specific expression of the TTX- resistant sodium channel Nav1.8. Lumbar region dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia were dissected from mice (3 mice were pooled/sample). Highly red fluorescent neurons were Facs purified, RNA extracted, and processed for microarray analysis.

Transcription profiling by array of mouse immortalized embryonic fibroblasts to identify genes regulated by mTORC1

Project description:Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a critical regulator of cell growth by integrating multiple signals (nutrients, growth factors, energy and stress) and is frequently deregulated in many types of cancer. We used a robust experimental paradigm involving the combination of two interventions, one genetic and one pharmacologic to identify genes regulated transcriptionally by mTORC1. In Tsc2+/+, but not Tsc2-/- immortalized mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), serum deprivation downregulates mTORC1 activity. In Tsc2-/- cells, abnormal mTORC1 activity can be downregulated by treatment with rapamycin (sirolimus). By contrast, rapamycin has little effect on mTORC1 in Tsc2+/+ cells in which mTORC1 is already inhibited by low serum. Thus, under serum deprived conditions, mTORC1 activity is low in Tsc2+/+ cells (untreated or rapamycin treated), high in Tsc2-/- cells, but lowered by rapamycin; a pattern referred to as a M-^Slow/low/high/lowM-^T or M-^SLLHLM-^T, which allowed the identification of genes regulated by mTORC1 by performing the appropriate comparisons

We found that mTORC1 regulated the expression of, among other lysosomal genes, V-ATPases through the transcription factor EB (TFEB, Tcfeb in the mouse). The knockdown of Tfeb resulted in the 'flattening' of the LLHL pattern and allowed the identification of genes regulated by mTORC1 through Tfeb Mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) wild type or deficient in Tsc2 expressing a Tfeb shRNA or scrambled shRNA vector were treated with 25 nM rapamycin or vehicle (methanol) for 24 h under low serum conditions (0.1% FBS)

Rapamycin effect on Wild Type and TSC deficient Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts : Time Course

Project description:Aberrant activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a common molecular event in a large variety of pathological settings, including genetic tumor syndromes, cancer, and obesity. However, the cell intrinsic consequences of mTORC1 activation remain poorly defined. Here, we identify global trancriptional changes in TSC1 and TSC2 null MEFs, which exhibit constitutive activation of mTORC1, compared to wild-type littermate control lines. A rapamycin time course is included to determine those changes that are dependent on mTORC1 signaling, revealing mTORC1 induced and repressed transcripts. In order to identify mTORC1-dependent transcriptional changes, we compared wild-type MEFs to both Tsc1-/- and Tsc2-/- MEFs following serum starvation, where mTORC1 signaling is off in wild-type cells and fully active in TSC-deficient cells. All cell lines were serum-starved for 24 h, and the Tsc1-/- and Tsc2-/- cells were treated with a time course of rapamycin prior to the isolation of mRNA for microarray analysis. Immortalized wild-type (Tsc2+/+ p53-/-), Tsc1-/- (p53+/+, 3T3-immortalized), and Tsc2-/- (p53-/-, derived from a littermate of the wild-type cell line) MEFs are the three cell lines used in this study and were derived in the laboratory of David J. Kwiatkowski (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA). Wild-type and null MEFs were grown to 70% confluence in 10 cm plates and were serum starved for 24 h in the presence of vehicle (DMSO) for 24 h or rapamycin (20 nM) for 2, 6, 12, or 24 h. All vehicle-treated samples (0 h time points) were plated in triplicate and all rapamycin time course samples were plated in duplicate. For each replicate, expression analysis was performed by hybridization to an Affymetrix Mouse 430_2 oligonucleotide microarray chip.

Estrogen and mTORC1 dependent genes in the uterus of uterine-specific Tsc2-null mice

Project description:To uncover genes regulated by mTORC1 and estradiol in uterine Tsc2-null LAM like cells, we performed RNAseq on uteri from 12-week old wild-type (WT) and uterine-specific Tsc2-null (KO) mice that were either untreated (intact), oopherectomized (ovx) or oopherectomized + treated with 17Î²-estradiol pellets (E2) for 8 weeks. We identified genes that were both estradiol- and TSC2-mediated. Uterine mRNA profiles of 12 week old wild type (WT) and uterine-specific Tsc2-null (KO) mice in the presence or absence of estradiol were generated using Illumina HiSeq2500

Chronic signaling via the metabolic checkpoint kinase mTORC1 induces macrophage granuloma formation and marks sarcoidosis progression

Project description:Gene expression analysis of primary CSF1-deprived bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) of Tsc2fl/fl LysM+/+ and TSC2fl/fl LysM+/cre mice Maintenance of tissue homeostasis requires a tight control of the in situ-proliferative capacity of tissue-resident macrophages. Here we show that specific deletion of Tsc2 in myeloid cells breaks quiescence and strongly induces macrophage proliferation and hypertrophy leading to granuloma formation in vivo in an mTORC1-dependent manner. Intriguingly, the growth factor CSF1 induces expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) via TSC2-mTORC1 to stimulate cell proliferation, while simultaneously NF-κB signaling and apoptosis are inhibited. Tsc2-deficient macrophages show constitutive CDK4 expression and enhanced M2-like polarization that is supported by a metabolic reprogramming towards increased glycolysis and mitochondrial metabolism. Strikingly, mTORC1 activation and macrophage proliferation are identified as a hallmark of the human granulomatous disease sarcoidosis and correlate with a clinically progressive disease outcome. In conclusion, TSC2-mTORC1 integrates macrophage quiescence, polarization, and metabolism to prevent granulomatous disease. Fundamentally, we show that the macrophage cell cycle is controlled by a growth factor-induced expression of CDK4.
