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

ABSTRACT: 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 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.

Differentially expressed genes in isolated postnatal AP2e WT and null VNOs

Project description: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.

Tfap2e/AP-2ε has both activating and repressive roles in controlling genetic programs of vomeronasal sensory neurons that underly sociosexual behavior in mice

Project description:Neuronal identity dictates the position in an epithelium, and the ability to detect, process, and transmit specific signals to specified targets. 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 rodent vomeronasal organ provides a unique system to examine in detail the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation and maturation of chemosensory neurons. Here we demonstrated that the identity of postmitotic/maturing VSNs and vomeronasal dependent behaviors can be reprogrammed through the rescue of AP-2ε expression in the AP-2εNull mice and by inducing ectopic AP-2ε expression in mature apical VSNs. We suggest that the transcription factor AP-2ε can reprogram VSNs bypassing cellular plasticity restrictions, and that it directly controls the expression of batteries of vomeronasal genes.

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

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.

A family of nonclassical class I MHC genes contributes to ultrasensitive chemodetection by mouse vomeronasal sensory neurons

Project description:We applied the NanoString gene expression platform to total RNA isolated from the vomeronasal mucosa of mice of a strain (M-bM-^HM-^FH2Mv) in which we had excised with chromosome engineering a 530 kb genomic region that encompasses nine non-classical class I MHC genes that are expressed specifically in vomeronasal sensory neurons. At three weeks of age, there is no difference of expression for all Vmn2r genes tested; and at eight weeks of age, there is no difference of expression for the majority of Vmn2r genes. We designed NanoString probes for one third of the mouse Vmn2r gene repertoire, based on the reference C57BL/6 genome sequence. CodeSet Chanel includes probes for 46 Vmn2r genes and nine non-classical class I MHC H2-Mv genes that are expressed specifically in mouse vomeronasal sensory neurons. Results were analyzed with tTREAT.

Transcriptional instability prevents dispersion of functional vomeronasal receptor genes [rat]

Project description:Rodents perceive pheromones via vomeronasal receptors encoded by the Vr and Fpr gene superfamilies. The evolution of these latter is exceptionally dynamic. We report here that high numbers of V1r pseudogenes are scattered in mammalian genomes, contrasting with the clustered organization of functional V1r and Fpr genes. We also found that V1r pseudogenes are more likely to be expressed when located in a functional V1r gene cluster than when isolated. To explore the potential regulatory role played by the association of functional vomeronasal receptor genes with their clusters, we dissociated the mouse Fpr-rs3 from its native cluster via transgenesis. Singular and specific transgenic Fpr-rs3 transcription was observed in young vomeronasal neurons, but was only transient. Our data point to the existence of transcription stabilizing elements not coupled to vomeronasal gene units but rather associated with vomeronasal gene clusters, and thus explain the evolutionary conserved clustered organization of functional vomeronasal genes.
