Genetic and transcriptomic identification of sensory neuron types underlying chronic pain in primates

ABSTRACT: Molecular characterization of the individual neuron types existing in the primate dorsal root ganglion and the relation to model organisms used for studying somatosensation and pain is critical for understanding the cellular origin of chronic pain and for translational aspects of biomedical research. However, molecular insights into the primate dorsal root ganglion are missing and a systematic comparison of strategies for somatosensation between the mouse and primates is lacking. Here we classify non-human primate sensory neurons based on their transcriptome and identify neuronal types with heritability to chronic pain. We identify nine neuronal types and use machine learning to expose an overall cross-species conserved strategy and shared taxonomy for nociception, although with differences at individual gene level, highlighting the importance of incorporating primate knowledge for the successful translation of discoveries in rodent model organisms. Genomic loci implicated in chronic pain were mapped onto specific primate sensory neuron types to identify the cellular origin of chronic pain. The common-variant genome-wide association results for chronic pain point to the same cells at the same pain sites and concentrate on two different neuronal types between pain disorders, suggesting that causative cell types and molecular mechanisms are different between different pain conditions.

Single cell transcriptomics of primate sensory neurons identifies cell types associated with chronic pain [Wafergen]

Project description:Distinct types of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons may have unique contributions to chronic pain. Identification of primate sensory neuron types is critical for understanding the cellular origin and heritability of chronic pain. However, molecular insights into the primate sensory neurons are missing. Here we classify non-human primate dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons based on their transcriptome and map human pain heritability to neuronal types. First, we identified cell correlates between two major datasets for mouse sensory neuron types. Machine learning exposes an overall cross-species conservation of somatosensory neurons between primate and mouse, although with differences at individual gene level, highlighting the importance of primate data for clinical translation. We map genomic loci associated with chronic pain in human onto primate sensory neuron types to identify the cellular origin of chronic pain. Genome-wide associations for chronic pain converge on two different neuronal types distributed between pain disorders that display different genetic susceptibilities, suggesting both unique and shared mechanisms between different pain conditions.

The Nicotinic alpha6 Subunit Gene Determines Variability in Chronic Pain Sensitivity and Nicotine Anti- allodynia via Cross-inhibition of P2X2/3 Receptors.

Project description:We used microarray-based expression genomics in 25 inbred mouse strains to identify dorsal root ganglion (DRG)-expressed genetic contributors to mechanical allodynia a prominent symptom of chronic pain. Expression genetics identifies a role for the Chrna6 (alpha 6-nicotinic receptor) gene in pain in mice and humans.

DNA methylation reprogramming after spinal nerve injury

Project description:Purpose: Nerve injury-induced hyperactivity of primary sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contributes critically to chronic pain development, but its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Chronic neuropathic pain has a clear epigenetic component, however, most studies so far have focused on histone modifications. We determined changes of DNA methylation in the rat DRG, spinal cord, and prefrontal cortex after spinal nerve ligation (SNL).

Neuronal cell lines as model dorsal root ganglion neurons: a transcriptomic comparison

Project description:Aim: Dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived immortal cell lines including ND7/23 and F-11 cells have been used extensively as in vitro model systems of native peripheral sensory neurons. However, while it is clear that some sensory neuron-specific receptors and ion channels are present in these cell lines, a systematic comparison of the molecular targets expressed by these cell lines with intact peripheral neurons is lacking. Methods: we examined the expression of RNA transcripts in the human neuroblastoma-derived cell line, SH-SY5Y, and two dorsal root ganglion hybridoma cell lines, F-11 and ND7/23, using Illumina next-generation sequencing. Results: The expression profile of these three cell lines did not resemble any specific dorsal root ganglion neuron subclass. The cell lines lacked many markers for nociceptive sensory neurons, such as the transient receptor potential V1 gene, but expressed markers for both myelinated and unmyelinated neurons. Conclusion: This paper provides insights into the receptor repertoire expressed in common dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived cell lines, and illustrates the limits and potentials of these cell lines as tools for neuropharmacological exploration.

Conserved dorsal horn neuron subtype-specific enhancers are implicated in the genetic risk of chronic pain [Macaque snRNA-seq]

Project description:The dorsal horn of the spinal cord transforms incoming somatosensory information and transmits it supraspinally to generate sensory perception, including pain and itch. Recent research using mouse Cre-driver lines has implicated specific populations of dorsal horn neurons in the transmission of different types of pain. In parallel, human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified dozens of loci confidently associated with the genetic predisposition to chronic pain. The ability to connect controlled experiments in rodent models with human genetic studies could provide a platform for translational research, but the cell type heterogeneity of the dorsal horn and the complex genetic architecture of chronic pain have created challenges in bridging that gap. Here, we apply a variety of single cell genomic technologies and a comparative genomic analysis to identify conserved dorsal horn neuron subtypes whose open chromatin regions show enrichment for genetic variants associated with human chronic pain phenotypes. To achieve this, we first use single nucleus RNA-Seq and fluorescence in situ hybridization in Rhesus macaque to create a more detailed map of primate dorsal horn neuron subtypes. These were integrated with publicly available human and mouse single nucleus RNA-Seq datasets to create a multi-modal cross species atlas. Then, for the mouse dorsal horn, we combined single nucleus RNA-Seq, spatial transcriptomics, and single nucleus ATAC-Seq to infer spatial and epigenomic profiles of conserved dorsal horn neuron subtypes. Finally, we compared our conserved cell-type open chromatin resource to chronic pain GWAS and found that open chromatin regions of specific dorsal horn neuron subtypes showed enrichment for a variety of human chronic pain phenotypes. Our results provide a foundation to further explore how conserved dorsal horn neuron subtypes influence the transmission of pain signals.

Harmonized cross-species cell atlases of trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia

Project description:Peripheral sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) are specialized to detect and transduce diverse environmental stimuli including touch, temperature, and pain to the central nervous system. Recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) have provided new insights into the diversity of sensory ganglia cell types in rodents, non-human primates, and humans, but it remains difficult to compare transcriptomically defined cell types across studies and species. Here, we built cross-species harmonized atlases of DRG and TG cell types that describe 18 neuronal and 11 non-neuronal cell types across 6 species and 31 studies. We then demonstrate the utility of this harmonized reference atlas by using it to annotate newly profiled DRG nuclei/cells from both human and the highly regenerative axolotl. We observe that the transcriptomic profiles of sensory neuron subtypes are broadly similar across vertebrates, but the expression of functionally important neuropeptides and channels can vary notably. The new resources and data presented here can guide future studies in comparative transcriptomics, simplify cell type nomenclature differences across studies, and help prioritize targets for future analgesic development.
