Semiochemical responsive olfactory sensory neurons are sexually dimorphic and plastic [pS6-IP-Seq of whole olfactory mucosa]

ABSTRACT: Understanding how genes and experiences work in concert to generate phenotypic variability will provide a better understanding of individuality. Here, we considered this in the context of the main olfactory epithelium, a chemosensory structure with over a thousand distinct cell types, in mice. We identified a subpopulation of at least three types of olfactory sensory neurons, defined by receptor expression, whose abundances were sexually dimorphic. This subpopulation of olfactory sensory neurons was over-represented in sex-separated female mice and responded robustly to the male-specific semiochemicals 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole and (methylthio)methanethiol. Sex-combined housing led to a robust attenuation of the female over-representation. Testing of Bax-/- mice revealed a Bax-dependence in generating the sexual dimorphism in sex-separated mice. Altogether, our results suggest a profound role of experience and activity in influencing homeostatic mechanisms to generate a robust sexually dimorphic phenotype in the main olfactory epithelium.

Gene expression profiling of the olfactory tissues from sex-separated and sex-combined female and male mice

Project description:We sought to investigate the scope of cellular and molecular changes within a mouse’s olfactory system as a function of its exposure to odors emitted from members of the opposite sex. To this end, we housed mice either separated from members of the opposite sex (sex-separated) or together with members of the opposite sex (sex-combined) until six months of age and then profiled transcript levels within the main olfactory epithelium (MOE), vomeronasal organ (VNO), and olfactory bulb (OB) of the mice via RNA-seq. For each tissue type, we then analyzed gene expression differences between sex-separated males and sex-separated females (SM v SF), sex-combined males and sex-combined females (CM v CF), sex-separated females and sex-combined females (SF v CF), and sex-separated males and sex-combined males (SM v CM). Within both the MOE and VNO, we observed significantly more numerous gene expression differences between males and females when mice were sex-separated as compared to sex-combined. Chemoreceptors were highly enriched among the genes differentially expressed between males and females in sex-separated conditions, and these expression differences were found to reflect differences in the abundance of the corresponding sensory neurons.

Sex Estimation Using Sexually Dimorphic Amelogenin Protein Fragments in Human Enamel

Project description:Sex estimation of human remains from demineralized blocks of tooth enamel by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC- MS/MS) and proteomic analysis of sexually dimorphic amelogenin peptides. The detection of the Y-isoform of amelogenin is used to estimate male sex. The combined signal intensity of the sexually dimorphic peptides from each samples of known sex is used to establish a statistical framework for the estimation of the female sex probability.

Transcription profiling of mouse olfactory sensory neurons

Project description:The overall aim of the experiment is to understand the phenotype of mature mouse olfactory sensory neurons by analyzing the transcripts expressed and enriched in them as compared to the rest of the cell types in the olfactory epithelium (consisting of immature neurons, supporting cells, progenitor cells and cells in lamina propria) and brain ( with out the olfactory bulbs). Comparision with the other cell types in the olfactory epithelium should eliminate the transcripts commonly expressed in the olfactory epithelium and comparision with brain will eliminate the transcripts common to most neurons. Our gene chip data indicates that mature mouse olfactory sensory neurons express 10,000 genes. Mature OSNs specifically contained three clusters of over represented Gene ontology categories: smell, ion transport and cilia. Analysis for the functionally over represented categories among the transcripts with a positive signal in the mature OSNs yielded largely broad categories common to all cells with the exception of chromatin modelling and RNA processing categories. Biological process categories of movement, development and immune response came as under represented categories. Experiment Overall Design: To purify mature olfactory neurons we took advantage of the OMP-GFP mice. OMP(olfactory marker protein) is expressed specifically in mature olfactory and vomeronasal sensory neurons. In the OMP-GFP mice the coding region of OMP is replaced by GFP. We purified OSNs from the rest of the epithelium from these mice by using FACS. . We used the Affymetrix gene chips mouse expression set 430 (consisting of 430A and 430B chips). Our gene chip data is extensively validated by insitu hybridizations.
