Activation of a nerve injury transcriptional signature in airway-innervating sensory neurons after lipopolysaccharide induced lung inflammation I

ABSTRACT: While the inflammatory immune response of the lung to allergens and pathogens has been extensively studied, little is known about how sensory nerves change in response to an inflammatory insult within the organ they innervate. In our study we describe the collection of vagal sensory neurons innervating the mouse lung, labelled with a retrograde fluorescent tracer instilled into the airways, and the analysis of their transcriptomes by RNAseq. We also determined transcriptomes of the complete sensory ganglia (vagal, trigeminal, DRG) for comparison. We identified transcripts of genes exclusively expressed in vagal nerves, and not in any other sensory nerve type or any other organ. These include unique ion channels, G-protein coupled receptors and several transcripts of unknown function.

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.

RNA sequencing of whole blood cells in patients with trigeminal neuralgia

Project description:Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a type of neuropathic pain caused by injury to sensory nerves, manifesting as severe paroxysmal pain of the head and face. Trigeminal neuralgia brings a huge burden to patients, without long-term effective treatment. Changes in the expression of pain-related genes in the whole blood samples of patients play an important role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of treatment effects of trigeminal neuralgia. To better understand the mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia, we collect the whole blood samples from the trigeminal neuralgia patients and the pain-free healthy comparisons. RNA-seq was conducted between the two groups to find the transcriptome changes in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats

Project description:Vampire bats and snakes have taken thermosensation to the extreme by developing specialized systems for detecting infrared radiation. As such, these creatures provide a window into the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying evolutionary tuning of thermoreceptors in a species or cell type specific manner. In each case, robust thermal sensitivity likely reflects specialized anatomical features of infrared sensing pit organs, as well as intrinsic heat sensitivity of trigeminal nerve fibers that innervate these structures. Here we show that vampire bats use a molecular strategy involving alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene to generate a channel specifically within trigeminal ganglia that has a reduced thermal activation threshold. Selective expression of splicing factors in trigeminal, but not dorsal root ganglia, together with unique organization of the vampire bat TRPV1 gene underlies this mechanism of sensory adaptation. Comparative genomic analysis of the TRPV1 locus supports phylogenetic relationships within the proposed Pegasoferae clade of mammals. Gene expression measurements implicate a TRPV1 splice isoform as the heat-sensitive channel in vampire bats

Expression of receptors for inflammatory mediators in murine vagal nodose versus jugular capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) C-fiber neurons

Project description:Capsaicin-sensitive (Trpv1-positive) sensory C-fibers derived from vagal ganglia innervate the visceral organs, and respond to inflammatory mediators and noxious stimuli. These neurons play an important role in maintenance of visceral homeostasis, and contribute to the symptoms of visceral inflammatory diseases. Vagal sensory neurons are located in two ganglia, the jugular ganglia (derived from the neural crest), and the nodose ganglia (from the epibranchial placodes). The functional difference, especially in response to immune mediators, between jugular and nodose neurons is not fully understood. In this study, we microscopically isolated murine nodose and jugular capsaicin-sensitive / Trpv1-expressing C-fiber neurons and performed transcriptome profiling using ultra-low input RNA sequencing.

Genetic identification of vagal sensory neurons that control feeding

Project description:Energy homeostasis requires precise measurement of the quantity and quality of ingested food. The vagus nerve innervates the gut and can detect diverse interoceptive cues, but the identity of the key sensory neurons and corresponding signals that regulate food intake remains unknown. Here we use an approach for target-specific, single-cell RNA sequencing to generate a map of the vagal cell types that innervate the gastrointestinal tract. We show that unique molecular markers identify vagal neurons with distinct innervation patterns, sensory endings, and function. Surprisingly, we find that food intake is most sensitive to stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the intestine, whereas nutrient-activated mucosal afferents have no effect. Peripheral manipulations combined with central recordings reveal that intestinal mechanoreceptors, but not other cell types, potently and durably inhibit hunger-promoting AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus. These findings identify a key role for intestinal mechanoreceptors in the regulation of feeding.

A vagal reflex evoked by airway closure

Project description:Airway integrity must be continuously maintained throughout life. Sensory neurons guard against airway obstruction and on a moment-by-moment basis, enact vital reflexes to maintain respiratory function. Decreased lung capacity is common and life-threatening across many respiratory diseases, and lung collapse can be acutely evoked by chest wall trauma, pneumothorax, or airway compression. Here, we characterize a neuronal reflex of the vagus nerve evoked by airway closure that leads to gasping. In vivo vagal ganglion imaging revealed dedicated sensory neurons that detect airway compression but not airway stretch. Vagal neurons expressing PVALB mediate airway closure responses, and innervate clusters of lung epithelial cells called neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs). Stimulating NEBs or vagal PVALB neurons evoked gasping in the absence of airway threats, while ablating NEBs or vagal PVALB neurons eliminated gasping to airway closure. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that NEBs uniformly express the mechanoreceptor PIEZO2, and targeted knockout of PIEZO2 in NEBs also eliminated responses to airway closure. NEBs are dispensable for the Hering-Breuer inspiratory reflex, indicating that discrete terminal structures detect airway closure and inflation. Like Merkel cells involved in touch sensation, NEBs are PIEZO2-expressing epithelial cells, and moreover, are critical for an aspect of lung mechanosensation. These findings expand our understanding of neuronal diversity in the airways, and reveal a dedicated vagal pathway that detects airway closure to help preserve respiratory function.
