RNA-seq analysis of axolotl embryonic oropharyngeal endoderm explants transcriptome

ABSTRACT: The ability to taste is critical for animal nutrition and toxin deterrence. The majority of research on taste bud development and regeneration is in mice, where taste buds are located within specialized papillae on the tongue. However, taste buds in fish and amphibians, such as axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum), are not housed in papillae, rather they are within the pharyngeal epithelium. This simplified tissue level organization, along with the ability of cultured oropharyngeal explants from early embryos to produce taste buds on the same time-line as embryos, make the axolotl an excellent model to identify molecules specifically involved in taste bud cell differentiation. In this study, we performed de novo transcriptomic analysis on RNA sequences from three different stages of oropharyngeal explants: stages 37/38, 39, and 41. RNA-seq data from 17 total samples representing these stages were pooled to generate de novo assemblie(s) of the transcriptome using a Trinity pipeline. Raw reads and the assembly were uploaded to Mendeley (doi:10.17632/tvxh3jm83m.1). From 27.9Gb of raw sequences, we identified 21,244 transcripts. To our knowledge, this study provides the first published assembly of axolotl oropharyngeal endoderm explants. This RNA-seq data and transcriptome assembly provide information on genes expressed in the oropharyngeal endoderm and will be valuable in the identification of taste bud development genes.

The duct of von Ebner’s glands is a source of Sox10+ taste bud progenitors and susceptible to pathogen infections

Project description:We have recently demonstrated that Sox10-expressing (Sox10+) cells give rise to mainly type-III neuronal taste bud cells that are responsible for sour and salt taste. The two tissue compartments containing Sox10+ cells in the surrounding of taste buds include the connective tissue core of taste papillae and von Ebner’s glands (vEGs) that are connected to the trench of circumvallate and foliate papillae. Here we present data to support that it is the vEGs, not connective tissue core, that serve as the niche of Sox10+ taste bud progenitors. In this study, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of the epithelium of Sox10-Cre/tdT mouse circumvallate/vEG complex and used inducible Cre mouse models to map the cell lineages of vEGs and/or connective tissue (including stromal and Schwann cells). Transcriptomic analysis indicated that Sox10 expression was enriched in the cell clusters of vEG ducts that contained abundant proliferating cells, while Sox10-Cre/tdT expression was enriched in type-III taste bud cells and vEG ductal cells. In vivo lineage mapping showed that the traced cells were distributed in circumvallate taste buds concurrently with those in the vEGs, but not in the connective tissue. Moreover, multiple genes encoding pathogen receptors were enriched in the vEG ducts hosting Sox10+ cells. If this is also true in humans, our data indicates that vEG duct is a source of Sox10+ taste bud progenitors and susceptible to pathogen infections.

The single-cell RNA sequencing for α-gustducin-positive taste cells

Project description:Taste buds are complex sensory organs that are embedded in the epithelium of fungiform papillae (FP) and circumvallate papillae (CV). The sweet, bitter, and umami taste are sensed by type II taste cells that expressed taste receptors (Tas1rs and Tas2rs) which coupled with taste G-protein α-gustducin. Recent studies revealed that the taste response profiles of α-gustducin-expressing cells are different between FP and CV. We applied the high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to profile the transcriptome of the α-gustducin-expressing taste cells in both fungiform and circumvallatae papillae with transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Taste papilla cell differentiation requires the regulation of secretory protein production by ALK3-BMP signaling in the tongue mesenchyme

Project description:Taste papillae are specialized organs, each of which comprises an epithelial wall hosting taste buds and a core of mesenchymal tissue. In the present study, we report that during early taste papilla development in mouse embryos, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling mediated by type 1 receptor ALK3 in the tongue mesenchyme is required for the epithelial Wnt/β-catenin activity and taste papilla differentiation.

Single cell mRNA sequencing on esophageal and lingual cells

Project description:In this study, we uncovered through single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of mouse esophagus epithelium a population of taste buds clustered in the cervical segment of the esophagus. We compared this taste bud population to their lingual counterpart. We concluded that these taste buds have the same cellular composition than the ones from the tongue. State-of-the-art transcriptional regulatory network analysis allowed the identification of specific transcription factors associated to the differentiation of immature progenitors into the three different taste bud cell types in the tongue and the esophagus.

Expression data from macaque taste buds and lingual epithelium

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

Fine tuning of epithelial taste bud organoid to promote functional recapitulation of taste reactivity

Project description:Taste stem/progenitor cells from the mouse posterior tongue have been recently used to generate taste bud organoids. However, the inaccessible location of the taste receptor cells is observed in conventional organoids. Here, we established a suspension culture method for fine tuning of taste bud organoid by apicobasal polarity alteration to form the accessible localization of taste receptor cells in organoid. Compared to conventional Matrigel-embedded organoids, suspension-cultured organoids showed comparable differentiation and renewal rates to those of taste buds in vivo and exhibited functional taste receptor cells and cycling progenitor cells. Accessible taste receptor cells on the outer region of taste bud organoids enabled the direct application of calcium imaging for evaluating the taste response. Moreover, suspension-cultured organoids could be genetically altered using gene editing methods. Suspension-cultured taste bud organoid harmoniously integrated with the recipient lingual epithelium; maintained the taste receptor cells and gustatory innervation capacity. Thus, we propose that suspension-cultured organoids may provide efficient model for taste research including taste bud development, regeneration and transplantation

Differential Expression of Immune Related Genes in Taste Buds of Fed and Fasted Mice

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the taste bud transcriptome of fasted and fed mice. By doing this we hope to gain more information about the taste bud transcriptome as well as determine transcriptional changes that may be linked with pre or post-ingestive states. Methods: Whole taste bud mRNA profiles of WT adult C57BL/6J mice were generated by Illumina HiSeq 2000 single end RNA sequencing. Prior to taste bud RNA isolation, mice were either food-deprived, fed, or given ad libitum access to standard rodent chow as a control. Sequence read quality was assesed using FastQC, and adapter sequences were trimmed using trimmomatic. Reads were then aligned to the GRCm38.p4 reference genome using Tophat2 followed by Cufflinks analysis, then gene level differential expression was conducted using Cuffdiff, and visualized via cummeRbund. Gene enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes was performed using DAVID and Panther Gene Ontology. Results: We mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome, build GRCm38.p4, and identified 144 differentially expressed genes (FDR of 5%) between the taste buds of food-restricted, fed, and ad libitum control mice. Gene enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes showed enrichment of pathways associated with cytokines, immunity, cytoskeletal structure, chaperone proteins, and protease inhibitors. Conclusions: Our study represents a detailed analysis of the murine taste bud transcriptome generated using RNA-seq technology. Our results highlight cellular pathways that may be differentially regulated in taste receptor cells during different pre/post-ingestive states. Additionally, as limited transcriptome information is available for taste buds, this dataset can serve as a resource for the discovery of genes novel to the taste bud.

Transcriptomic analysis of circumvallate papillae (CVP) from lean and DIO mice

Project description:Diet-induced obesity (DIO) is associated with a decreased oral fat detection in rodents. This blunted gustatory detection has been explained by an impairment of the lipid-mediated signaling in taste bud cells (TBC). However, factors responsible for this defect remain elusive. To better understand the mechanisms involved, circumvallate papillae from Lean, DIO and former DIO mice were analyzed with a transcriptomic approach.

EGR4 is critical for cell-fate determination and maintenance of Geniculate Ganglion neurons underlying sweet and umami taste

Project description:The sense of taste starts with activation of receptor cells in taste buds by chemical stimuli which then communicate this signal via innervating oral sensory neurons to the CNS. The cell bodies of oral sensory neurons reside in the geniculate ganglion (GG) and nodose/petrosal/jugular ganglion. The geniculate ganglion contains two main neuronal populations, BRN3A+ somatosensory neurons that innervate the pinna, and PHOX2B+ sensory neurons that innervate the oral cavity. While much is known about the different taste bud cell subtypes, much less is known about the molecular identities of PHOX2B+ sensory subpopulations. In the GG as many as 12 different subpopulations have been predicted from electrophysiological studies, while transcriptional identities exist for only 3-6. Importantly, the cell fate pathways that diversify PHOX2B+ oral sensory neurons into these subpopulations are unknown. The transcription factor EGR4 was identified as being highly expressed in GG neurons. EGR4 deletion causes GG oral sensory neurons to lose their expression of PHOX2B and other oral sensory genes, and upregulate BRN3A. This is followed by a severe loss of chemosensory innervation of taste buds, a loss of Type II taste cells responsive to bitter, sweet, and umami stimuli, and a concomitant increase in Type I glial-like taste bud cells. These deficits culminate in a loss of nerve responses to sweet and umami taste qualities. Taken together, we identify a critical role of EGR4 in cell fate specification and maintenance of subpopulations of GG neurons, which in turn maintain the appropriate sweet and umami taste receptor cells.
