Highly Selective Brain-to-Gut Communication via Genetically-Defined Vagus Neurons

ABSTRACT: The vagus nerve innervates many organs, and most if not all of its motor fibers are cholinergic. However, no one knows its organizing principles; whether or not there are dedicated neurons with restricted targets that act as "labeled lines" to perform certain functions – including two opposing ones (gastric contraction versus relaxation). By performing unbiased transcriptional profiling of DMV cholinergic neurons, we discovered seven molecularly-distinct subtypes of motor neurons. Then, by using subtype-specific Cre driver mice, we go on to show that two of these subtypes exclusively innervate the glandular domain of the stomach where, remarkably, they contact different enteric neurons releasing functionally opposing neurotransmitters (acetylcholine versus nitric oxide). Thus, the vagus motor nerve communicates via genetically-defined labeled lines to control functionally unique enteric neurons within discrete subregions of the gastrointestinal tract. This discovery provides a conceptual breakthrough on the division of labor used by the vagus motor nerve to control function.

Single cell gene expression profiling of the response of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus neurons to cardiac ischemia [DMV_Cardiac-Ischemia_RT-PCR]

Project description:We developed a mesoscale single cell transcriptomics data from hundreds of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) neurons under homeostasis and following physiological perturbations. Our results revealed that homeostatic DMV neuronal states can be organized into distinguishable input-output signal processing units. Chronic cardiac ischemic injury resulted in a dramatic shift in DMV neuronal states suggestive of enhanced neurosecretory function.

Single cell gene expression profiling of the response of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus neurons to remote ischemic preconditioning [DMV_RIPC_RT-PCR]

Project description:We developed a mesoscale single cell transcriptomics data from hundreds of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) neurons under homeostasis and following physiological perturbations. Our results revealed that homeostatic DMV neuronal states can be organized into distinguishable input-output signal processing units. Remote ischemic preconditioning induced a distinctive shift in the neuronal states towards diminishing the role of inhibitory inputs.

Expression data from DD neurons isolated from early L1 stage C. elegans larvae.

Project description:Six DD class GABAergic neurons are generated in the embryo to synapse with ventral muscles and receive input from cholinergic neurons in the dorsal nerve cord. After hatching and toward the end of the first larval (L1) stage, DD neurons reverse polarity (i.e., synapse with dorsal muscles, receive ventral cholinergic inputs). Expression profiles were generated from DD neurons in the early L1 stage before the initiation of the remodeling program. We used microarray analysis to detect transcripts with potential roles in DD remodeling. We used FACS to isolate ttr-39::mCherry labeled DD GABAergic motor neurons from a synchronized population of L1 larvae and amplified and labeled total RNA to generate Affymetrix Genome Array data. The DD data sets were compared to an expression profile obtained from all cells in a matched population of synchronized L1 larvae. See Spencer et al. PLOS One 9, e112102 (2014).

microRNA expression profiling of the response of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus to physiological perturbations and cardiac injury

Project description:We developed microRNA expression profiling data from the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) neurons under homeostasis and following physiological perturbations of remote ischemic preconditioning and cardiac ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to remote ischemia preconditioning (rIPC), ligation of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), or rIPC with LAD following two hours later (rIPC 2h/LAD). All samples were collected 24 hours after LAD.

Neuromodulatory co-expression in cardiac vagal motor neurons of the Dorsal Motor Nucleus of the Vagus [RNAseq]

Project description:The activity of the cardiac vagal innervation is well known to be crucial to the maintenance of cardiac health, and to protect and recover the heart from injury. Only recently has this role been shown to depend on the activity of the underappreciated Dorsal Motor Nucleus of the Vagus (DMV). By combining neural tracing, transcriptomics, and 3D mapping in male and female Sprague Dawley rats we characterize cardiac-specific neuronal phenotypes in DMV. We find that the DMV cardiac-projecting neurons differentially express PACAP, CART, and synucleins, as well as evidence that they participate in neuromodulatory co-expression involving catecholamines. The significance of these findings is enhanced by previous knowledge of the role of PACAP at the heart and of the other neuromodulators in peripheral vagal targets.

Genetic identification of vagal sensory neurons that control feeding

Project description:Energy homeostasis requires precise measurement of the quantity and quality of ingested food. The vagus nerve innervates the gut and can detect diverse interoceptive cues, but the identity of the key sensory neurons and corresponding signals that regulate food intake remains unknown. Here we use an approach for target-specific, single-cell RNA sequencing to generate a map of the vagal cell types that innervate the gastrointestinal tract. We show that unique molecular markers identify vagal neurons with distinct innervation patterns, sensory endings, and function. Surprisingly, we find that food intake is most sensitive to stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the intestine, whereas nutrient-activated mucosal afferents have no effect. Peripheral manipulations combined with central recordings reveal that intestinal mechanoreceptors, but not other cell types, potently and durably inhibit hunger-promoting AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus. These findings identify a key role for intestinal mechanoreceptors in the regulation of feeding.

Single nucleus RNA-sequencing defines unexpected diversity of cholinergic neuron types in the adult mouse spinal cord

Project description:We developed a targeted single nucleus RNA sequencing approach to enrich and transcriptomically characterize cholinergic neurons of the adult mouse spinal cord. Our data expose markers for known classes of cholinergic neurons and their extremely rich diversity. Visceral/preganglionic motor neurons could be divided into more than a dozen transcriptomic classes with anatomically restricted localization along the spinal cord. The complexity of the skeletal motor neurons was also reflected in our analysis with alpha, gamma, and a third subtype clearly distinguished. We further identified previously unrecognized subtypes of cholinergic interneurons.
