Project description:This study was undertaken to define the molecular subtypes of cells within enteric neurospheres. Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 3-dimensional neurosphere cultures derived from the small intestines of Plp1::GFP mice. These data show profiling results from the PLP1::GFP negative cell fraction ancillary to the positive fraction in series GSE184981. Results: We identify populations of enteric neurons and fibroblasts in the PLP1::GFP negative cell fraction of enteric neurospheres.

Project description:Enteric nervous system is involved in the regulation of intestinal inflammation. We developped mouse primary cultures of enteric nervous system to study impact of LPS, as pro-inflammatory mediator, and of the pro-drug 6-mercaptopurine on enteric inflammatory pathways We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying enteric neuro-inflammation and identified classes of up-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:This study investigates the phenomenon of postnatal plasticity within the enteric nervous system (ENS), specifically investigating the reinnervation potential of post-mitotic enteric neurons. Employing BAF53b-Cre for selective tracing, the reinnervation capabilities of postnatal enteric neurons in multiple model systems are shown. Denervated enteric neurons exhibit the ability to regenerate neurites in vitro, with neurite complexity and direction notably influenced by contact with enteric glial cells (EGCs). In vivo nerve fibers from transplanted enteric neurons exclusively interface with EGCs. Resident EGCs are sustained after Cre dependent ablation of enteric neurons and govern the architecture of the ENS by reinnervating enteric neurons. Transplantation experiments underscore the swift reintegration and reinnervation potential of post-mitotic neurons, leading to restored muscle function within two weeks. Optogenetic investigations further delineate time-dependent functional recovery via transplantation of isolated enteric ganglia. These revelations demonstrate the structural and functional reinnervation capacity of post-mitotic enteric neurons, underscored by EGC guidance.

Project description:Profiling of transcriptional changes in rat astrocytes when co-cultured with neurons: comparison of astrocytes cultured alone with astrocytes co-cultured with mouse hippocampal neurons. Co-cultured astrocytes are isolated using cold jet, a novel tool for these neuron-glia cultures. Over the last decade, the importance of astrocyte-neuron communication in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity has become increasingly clear. Since neuron-astrocyte interactions represent highly dynamic and reciprocal processes, we hypothesized that at least part of the involved astrocyte genes may be regulated as a consequence of their interactions with maturing neurons. In order to identify such neuron-induced astrocyte genes in vitro, we tested the effectiveness of the ‘cold jet’, a new method for separation of neurons from co-cultured astrocytes. The cold jet method is performed under ice-cold conditions and avoids protease-mediated isolation of astrocytes or time-consuming centrifugation, yielding intact astrocyte mRNA with approximately 90% of neuronal RNA removed. Using this method, we executed genome-wide profiling in which RNA derived from astrocyte-only cultures was compared with astrocyte RNA derived from differentiating neuron-astrocyte co-cultures. Data analysis revealed changes in expression of a large number of mRNAs and biological processes, including novel findings. Thus, cold jet is an efficient method to separate astrocytes from neurons in co-culture, and in this study reveals that neurons induce robust gene-expression changes in co-cultured astrocytes.

Project description:Microbial density and diversity increase in distal intestinal segments, affecting tissue physiology, metabolism, and function of both the immune and nervous systems. We characterized the influence of the microbiota on murine intrinsic enteric-associated neurons (iEAN). We found that iEAN are functionally adapted to the intestinal segment they occupy, with a stronger microbiota influence on ileal and colonic neurons. Chemogenetic characterization of microbiota-influenced iEAN identified a subset of viscerofugal CART+ neurons, enriched in the ileum and colon, able to modulate feeding and glucose metabolism. Retro- and anterograde tracing revealed that CART+ viscerofugal neurons send axons to the prevertebral ganglia and are poly-synaptically connected to the liver and pancreas. Microbiota depletion led to NLRP6 and Caspase 11-dependent loss of CART+ neurons, and impaired liver-mediated gluconeogenesis. Our results demonstrate a region-specific adaptation of enteric neurons and indicate that iEAN subsets are capable of regulating blood glucose levels independently from the central nervous system.

Project description:Multiple intestinal functions including nutrient absorption and peristalsis display regional specialization as well as time-of-day effect under the control of circadian rhythm. We investigated the role of these adaptations on intestinal immune system and response to dietary antigens. We found that oral challenge during the night resulted in more protective tolerance, which correlated with nocturnal expansion of regulatory T (Treg) cells in proximal small intestine lamina propria. Expansion of Treg cells was supported by eosinophils and clock gene-dependent rhythmic production of follistatin by enteric neurons. Circadian entrainment of these changes depended on light exposure and locomotor activity but not the time of food intake. These data suggest that circadian and regional adaptations in the intestine limit the severity of allergic reactions during the active phase.

Project description:Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are underappreciated but critical for enteric nervous system (ENS) development and maintenance. We discovered that fetal loss of the epigenetic regulator Bap1 in the ENS lineage causes severe postnatal bowel dysfunction and early death in Tyrosinase-Cre; Bap1fl/fl mice. Bap1-depleted ENS appears normal in neonates, however, by postnatal day 15 (P15), Bap1-deficient enteric neurons are largely absent from the small and large intestine of Tyrosinase-Cre; Bap1fl/fl mice. Bowel motility becomes markedly abnormal with disproportionate loss of cholinergic neurons. Single-cell RNA sequencing at P5 shows that fetal Bap1 loss inTyrosinase-Cre; Bap1fl/fl mice markedly alters the composition and relative proportions of enteric neuron subtypes. In contrast, postnatal deletion of Bap1 did not cause enteric neuron loss or impaired bowel motility. These findings suggest that BAP1 is critical for postnatal enteric neuron differentiation and for enteric neuron survival.
