Spleen glia are a transcriptionally unique glial subtype interposed between immune cells and sympathetic axons

ABSTRACT: Non-myelinating glia in visceral organs have not been well characterized. It Is likekely they have uniqe functions in the organs in which they reside. This is interesting in immune organs such as the spleen in which glia ensheath nerves that come in close contact with immune cells. However, glia in the spleen have not been well characterized. We report here an in-depth anatomical and transcriptional characterization of spleen glia.

Enteric glia express proteolipid protein 1 and are a transcriptionally unique population of glia in the mammalian nervous system

Project description:To identify the gene expression profile of enteric glia and assess the transcriptional similarity between enteric and extraenteric glia, we performed RNA sequencing analysis on PLP1-expressing cells in the mouse intestine. This analysis shows that enteric glia are transcriptionally unique and distinct from other cell types in the nervous system. Enteric glia express many genes characteristic of the myelinating glia, Schwann cells and oli- godendrocytes, although there is no evidence of myelination in the murine ENS. Total RNA expression profiles of PLP1 expressing enteric glial cells (GFP+) and non-glial cells (GFP-negative) were obtained from the ileum and colon of juvenile PLP1-eGFP transgenic mice.

Spleen glia are a transcriptionally unique glial subtype interposed between immune cells and sympathetic axons.

Project description:Glia are known to play important roles in the brain, the gut, and around the sciatic nerve. While the gut has its own specialized nervous system, other viscera are innervated solely by autonomic nerves. The functions of glia that accompany autonomic innervation are not well known, even though they are one of the most abundant cell types in the peripheral nervous system. Here, we focused on non-myelinating Schwann cells in the spleen, spleen glia. The spleen is a major immune organ innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, which modulates immune function. This interaction is known as neuroimmune communication. We establish that spleen glia can be visualized using both immunohistochemistry for S100B and GFAP and with a reporter mouse. Spleen glia ensheath sympathetic axons and are localized to the lymphocyte-rich white pulp areas of the spleen. We sequenced the spleen glia transcriptome and identified genes that are likely involved in axonal ensheathment and communication with both nerves and immune cells. Spleen glia express receptors for neurotransmitters made by sympathetic axons (adrenergic, purinergic, and Neuropeptide Y), and also cytokines, chemokines, and their receptors that may communicate with immune cells in the spleen. We also established similarities and differences between spleen glia and other glial types. While all glia share many genes in common, spleen glia differentially express genes associated with immune responses, including genes involved in cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, phagocytosis, and the complement cascade. Thus, spleen glia are a unique glial type, physically and transcriptionally poised to participate in neuroimmune communication in the spleen.

Diversity of satellite glia in sympathetic and sensory ganglia

Project description:Satellite glia are the major glial type found in ganglia of the peripheral nervous system that wrap around cell bodies of sympathetic and sensory neurons that are very diverse. Other than their close physical association with peripheral neurons, little is known about this glial population. Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing analysis and identified five different populations of satellite glia from sympathetic and sensory ganglia. We identify three shared populations of satellite glia enriched in immune-response genes, immediate-early genes and ion channels/ECM-interactors, respectively. Sensory- and sympathetic-specific satellite glia are differentially enriched for modulators of lipid metabolism. Sensory glia are also specifically enriched for genes involved in glutamate turnover. Further, satellite glia and Schwann cells can be distinguished by unique transcriptional signatures. This study reveals remarkable heterogeneity of satellite glia in the peripheral nervous system.

Transcriptome analysis of metronidazole-induced sensory neuron ablation in zebrafish

Project description:Damage to and/or loss of sensory neurons can result in debilitating neuropathies that often have a dramatic impact on quality of life. The cellular mechanisms involved in the response of neurons and glia to such pathological insults are poorly understood. Investigation has shown that peripheral glia play critical roles in both the degenerative and regenerative processes that are involved in the responses to peripheral nerve damage. The vast majority of studies have focused primarily on myelinating Schwann cells], with the result that very little is known regarding how the non-myelinating glia that ensheath axons and neuronal somas respond to nerve damage. This is a significant knowledge gap, given that over 80% of cutaneous fibers are unmyelinated, that they transduce such important modalities as itch, pain, temperature, touch and pressure, and that they are affected in many prevalent peripheral neuropathies. It is the goal of this study to shed light on the genetic programs involved in the responses of non-myelinating glia roles to nerve degeneration. We utilized RNA-seq to identify genes that were differentially expressed in the larval head during the process of sensory neuron ablation and axon degeneration in both wild-type larvae and in larvae that do not have peripheral glia (foxd3 mutants) using a selective, conditional approach. Overall, the information regarding differential gene expression in these conditions will provide a basis for further investigation into the cellular processes that underlie pathophysiological responses of neurons and glia to sensory nerve damage.

Quaking dysregulation contributes to demyelination and functional decline of the mouse auditory nerve after noise exposure

Project description:Myelinating glia in the auditory system enclose auditory nerve fibers, providing an insulating effect that facilitates rapid transfer of auditory information from the ear to the brain. Here we show that noise exposure at the levels sufficient for inducing hearing loss cause a rapid cellular and molecular response on myelinating glia that precedes neuron degeneration. The response is characterized by inflammatory response, myelin dysmorphology and widespread changes in myelin-related gene expression. Another characteristic was change in expression of the quaking gene (QKI), which encodes a group of RNA binding proteins that are enriched in myelinating glia. Changes in QKI were accompanied by changes in numerous known and potential QKI target genes, including many genes associated with myelination. Our results implicate QKI as a critical early component in the noise response, influencing glia dysfunction that leads to auditory nerve demyelination and, ultimately, sensorineural hearing loss.

NG2 glia-derived GABA release tunes inhibitory synapses and contributes to anxiety-like behavior in chronic social defeat stress

Project description:NG2 glia, also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), play an important role in proliferation and give rise to myelinating oligodendrocytes during early brain development. In contrast to other glial cell types, the most intriguing aspect of NG2 glia is their ability to directly sense synaptic inputs from neurons. However, whether this synaptic interaction is bidirectional or unidirectional, or its physiological relevance has not yet been clarified. Here, we report that NG2 glia form synaptic complexes with hippocampal interneurons and that selective photostimulation of NG2 glia (expressing channelrhodopsin-2) functionally drives GABA release and enhances inhibitory synaptic transmission onto proximal interneurons in a microcircuit. The mechanism involves GAD67 biosynthesis and VAMP-2 containing vesicular exocytosis. Further, behavioral assays demonstrate that NG2 glia photoactivation triggers an anxiety-like behavior in vivo and induces anxiety-like behavior in a mouse model of chronic social defeat stress.
