Targeted DamID reveals Fuss as a pivotal element in bitter gustatory neurons

ABSTRACT: To find differentially expressed genes by comparing Fuss neurons and mutant Fuss neurons we utilised targeted DamID in Drosophila melanogaster. This not only predicts many genes expressed and nonexpressed in adult Fuss neuron populations, but also reveals Fuss being expressed in gustatory neurons, especially bitter gustatory neurons. Comparison of control and mutant datasets reveals a reduced expression of gustatory receptor gene Gr66a. Gr66a is an important component of the gustatory receptors compounds responsible for toxic compound sensation. Behaviourial tests reveal an impaired toxic compound sensation of adult Fuss mutant flies.

Bitter taste cells in the ventricular walls of the murine brain regulate glucose homeostasis

Project description:The median eminence (ME) is a circumventricular organ at the base of the brain that controls body homeostasis. Tanycytes are its specialized glial cells that constitute the ventricular walls and regulate different physiological states, however individual signaling pathways in these cells are incompletely understood. Here, we identify a functional tanycyte subpopulation that expresses key taste transduction genes including bitter taste receptors, the G protein gustducin and the gustatory ion channel TRPM5 (M5). M5 tanycytes have access to blood-borne cues via processes extended towards diaphragmed endothelial fenestrations in the ME and mediate bidirectional communication between the cerebrospinal fluid and blood. This subpopulation responds to metabolic signals including leptin and other hormonal cues and is transcriptionally reprogrammed upon fasting. Acute M5 tanycyte activation induces insulin secretion and acute diphtheria toxin-mediated M5 tanycyte depletion results in impaired glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice. We provide a cellular and molecular framework that defines how bitter taste cells in the ME integrate chemosensation with metabolism.

RNA-Seq on Malus domestica Braeburn x Cameo lines resistant and susceptible to bitter pit disorder

Project description:Bitter pit is the most important physiological disorder affecting apples. In order to ascertain the genetic bases of its incidence in apple fruit, a mapping population of ‘Braeburn’ (susceptible to bitter pit) × ‘Cameo’ (resistant to bitter pit) cultivars was used to map the trait over two growing seasons. RNA-Seq on pools of RNA extracted from fruits of three resistant and three susceptible to bitter pit progenies at post-fertilization and full maturity stages, permitted us to identify a number of candidate genes underlying genetic resistance/susceptibility to bitter pit.

Inflammation induces bitter taste oversensitization via epigenetic changes in Tas2r gene clusters

Project description:T2R bitter receptors, encoded by Tas2r genes, are not only critical for bitter taste signal transduction but also important for defense against bacteria and parasites. However, little is known about whether and how Tas2r gene expression are regulated. Here, using single-cell assays for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (scATAC-seq), we found that the chromatin accessibility of Tas2rs was highly cell type specific and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation increased the accessibility of many Tas2rs. scATAC-seq also revealed substantial chromatin remodeling in immune response genes in taste tissue stem cells, suggesting potential long-term effects. Together, our results suggest an epigenetic mechanism connecting inflammation, Tas2r gene regulation, and altered bitter taste, which may explain heightened bitter taste that can occur with infections and cancer treatments.

Human intestinal bitter taste receptors regulate innate immune responses and metabolic regulators in obesity

Project description:An expression profiling was conducted to analyse the effect of the bitter tasting compounds denatonium benzoate (DB) or aloin on the transcriptome of human jejunal crypts compared to DMEM-treated crypts. These two bitter compounds are agonists for the human bitter taste receptor TAS2R43. We took advantage of a deletion polymorphism for TAS2R43, that exists in about 33% of the population to compare the effects of the TAS2R43 agonists in obese subjects that express (TAS2R43(+)) or do not express (TAS2R43(-)) TAS2R43. Primary jejunal crypts from lean (multi-organ donors) or obese (RYGB surgery) subjects were cultured for 24 hours and treated for 4 hours with either DMEM (control) or 1 mM DB or 30 µM aloin. In total 48 mRNA samples were subjected to RNAseq analysis.

Transcriptional profiling of cutaneous Mrgprd free nerve endings and C-LTMRs

Project description:Cutaneous C-unmyelinated free nerve endings and hair follicles-innervating C-LTMRs convey two opposite aspects of touch sensation: a sensation of pain and a sensation of pleasant touch. The molecular mechanisms underlying these diametrically opposite functions are unknown. Here we used a mouse model that genetically marks C-LTMRs and the free nerve endings MRGPRD+ neurons in combination with fluorescent cell surface labeling, flow cytometry and RNA deep-sequencing technology. Cluster analysis of the RNA-Seq profiles of the purified neuronal subsets revealed 156 and 184 genes differentially expressed in MRGPRD-expressing neurons and C-LTMRs, respectively. 48 MRGPD- and 67 C-LTMRs-enriched genes were validated using a triple staining experiment approach and the Cav3.3 channel, found to be exclusively expressed in C-LTMRs, was validated using electrophysiology. Furthermore, our study greatly expands the molecular characterization of C-LTMRs and suggests that this particular population of neurons shares common transcriptional signatures with A and A low threshold mechanoreceptors. RNA profiles of FACS-sorted subsets of sensory neurons, namely Mrgprd+ neurons (DP, double-positive=IB4+GINIP+), C-LTMRs (IB4-GINIP+) and remaining cells (DN, double-negative=IB4-GINIP-) were generated by deep sequencing in duplicate using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Bitter Blockers (BB)

Project description:<p>The goal of this project is to determine variation in human bitter perception and the effectiveness of bitter blockers in individuals of different genotypes. The project is based on the parent project titled "Efficacy of bitter taste blockers on flavor acceptance in pediatric population", which addresses how bitter taste perception affects medication compliance. As a part of the parent project, mothers and their children were recruited from the general population of metropolitan Philadelphia through print and internet media as well as from a database of past research participants. Adults (mothers) were evaluated in the laboratory for bitter taste perception for a variety of "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) bitter compounds using the general Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS) which allows subjects to rate sensory intensity. Mothers were also evaluated for perception of the liquid formulation of the drug Kaletra<sup>TM</sup>, a recommended 1st line treatment for infants with HIV infection, whose taste is rejected by some children and accepted well by others. DNA samples from mothers were genotyped as a part of this study to identify (1) novel genes associated with human bitter perception and (2) the ability of compounds to block bitterness.</p>

Transcription profiling of mouse dorsal root ganglion

Project description:The molecular identity of touch sensation is still largely unknown. We choose an extrem and very specific example, touch sensation of pennis glan, to study this problem. It's known from previous retro-grade labeling result that only one DRG in rat innervate the pennis glan, which makes it idea for microarry analysis. To clone the mechanosensory receptor specifically or highly expressed in the primary sensory neurons innervating pennis glan. There is a specific mechanosensory receptor in the primary sensory neurons innervating pennis glan. 1. Retrograde labeling the innervating nerve by DiI; 2. Dissect DRGs, dissociate neurons and pick up the fluorescent cells. 3. Pool around 20 positive cells and 50 control cells (big diameter neuron and small to medium diameter neuron respectively), purify total RNA. 4. Two rounds of amplification; 5. Affymetrix analysis
