Characterisation of iPSC derived Sensory neurons with Single Cell RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Despite the rapid development of protocols to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into neurons, those used to produce sensory neurons remain difficult to replicate and result in heterogenous populations. Moreover, there is a growing clinical burden of chronic pain conditions, highlighting a need for relevant human cellular models. This study presents a hybrid differentiation method to produce nociceptive sensory neurons from hPSCs. Cell lines harbouring an inducible NEUROG2 construct were patterned towards precursors with small molecules, followed by NEUROG2 overexpression. We profilled cells with single cell RNA sequencing, which revealed populations of nociceptors, demonstrated by the expression of key developmental and fucntional genes including volatge gated sodium and TRP channels. Overall, this study represents an optimisation of existing methods to efficiently produce nociceptive sensory neurons and provides a tool for chronic pain research and the development of treatments.

MicroRNA-183 cluster continuously scales mechanical pain sensitivity by regulating basal and neuropathic pain gene pathways.

Project description:Nociception is protective and prevents tissue damage but can also facilitate chronic pain. If a general principle governs these two types of pain is unknown. Here, we show that both basal mechanical and neuropathic pain are controlled by microRNA-183 cluster in mice. This single cluster controls more than 80% of neuropathic pain-regulated genes and scales basal mechanical sensitivity and mechanical allodynia by regulating auxiliary voltage-gated calcium channel subunits a2d. Basal sensitivity is controlled in nociceptors and allodynia involves TrkB+ light-touch mechanoreceptors. These light-touch sensitive neurons that normally do not elicit pain produce pain during neuropathy that is reversed by gabapentin. Thus, a single miRNA cluster continuously scales acute noxious mechanical sensitivity in nociceptive neurons and suppresses neuropathic pain transduction in a specific, light-touch sensitive neuronal type recruited during mechanical allodynia.

Nociceptor differentiation from pluripotent cells

Project description:Here we performed the first combinatorial small molecule screen for the rapid conversion of hPSCs into postmitotic neurons. We identified a combination of five small molecule pathway inhibitors sufficient to yield neurons at > 75% efficiency within 10 days of differentiation in the absence of any recombinant growth factors. The resulting human neurons express canonical markers of nociceptive sensory fate. Two treatments (LSB and 3i) at days 2,3,5,7,9, and 15, in triplicate

Single-cell RNAseq of Neurog1-Neurog2-DsRed transduced DRG cells

Project description:Cultured adult mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells exhibit glial sensory progenitor properties in vitro. Therefore, they might be a good starter cell for reprogramming into sensory neurons. Here, we infected them with the retroviral vector Neurog2-Neurog1-DsRed to induce sensory neuron development and analyzed by scRNAseq at 14 days post infection whether infected cells show properties of sensory neurons such as nociceptors. After 10x Genomics, data analysis of 4,549 individual cells indicated the generation of neurons, but at an immature cell state.

E18.5 DRG: Identification of a sacral, visceral sensory transcriptome in embryonic and adult mice

Project description:Visceral sensory neurons encode distinct sensations from healthy organs and initiate pain states that are resistant to common analgesics. Transcriptome analysis is transforming our understanding of sensory neuron subtypes but has generally focused on somatic sensory neurons or the total population of neurons in which visceral neurons form the minority. Our aim was to define transcripts specifically expressed by sacral visceral sensory neurons, as a step towards understanding the unique biology of these neurons and potentially lead to identification of new analgesic targets for pelvic visceral pain. Our strategy was to identify genes differentially expressed between sacral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) that include somatic neurons and sacral visceral neurons, and adjacent lumbar DRG that comprise exclusively somatic sensory neurons. This was performed in male and female mice (adult and E18.5). By developing a method to restrict analyses to nociceptive Trpv1 neurons, a larger group of genes were detected as differentially expressed between spinal level. We identified many novel genes not previously been associated with pelvic visceral sensation or nociception. Limited sex differences were detected across the transcriptome of sensory ganglia, but more were revealed in sacral levels and especially in Trpv1 nociceptive neurons. These data will facilitate development of new tools to modify mature and developing sensory neurons and nociceptive pathways.

Global analyses of mRNA expression in human sensory neurons reveals eIF5A as a conserved target for inflammatory pain

Project description:Nociceptors are a type of sensory neurons that is integral to most forms of pain. Targeted disruption of nociceptor sensitization affords unique opportunities to prevent pain. An emerging model for nociceptors are sensory neurons derived from human stem cells. Here, we subjected five groups to high-throughput sequencing: human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) prior to differentiation, mature hiPSC-derived sensory neurons, mature co-cultures containing hiPSC-derived astrocytes and sensory neurons, mouse DRG tissues, and mouse DRG cultures. Co-culture of nociceptors and astrocytes promotes expression of transcripts enriched in DRG tissues. Comparisons of the hiPSC models to tissue samples reveals that many key genes linked to pain are present. Marker genes indicative of a range of neuronal subtypes present in the DRG were detected in mature hiPSCs. Intriguingly, translation factors were maintained at consistently high expression levels across species and culture systems. As a proof of concept for the utility of this resource, we validated expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) in DRG tissues and hiPSC samples. eIF5A is subject to a unique post-translational hypusine modification required for its activity. Inhibition of hypusine biosynthesis prevented hyperalgesic priming by inflammatory mediators in vivo. One of two hypusine inhibitors diminished hiPSC activity in vitro. Collectively, our results illuminate the transcriptomes of hiPSC sensory neuron models. We provide a proof of concept for this resource through our investigation of eIF5A. Our findings reveal hypusine as a potential target for inflammation associated pain in males.

Transcriptional programs controlled by NGF signaling in developing mouse dorsal root ganglia neurons

Project description:During embryogenesis, nociceptive sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia depend intimately on Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for neuronal survival, maturation and target innervation. NGF is a secreted molecular signal synthesized by neuronal target tissues. In developing nociceptors, NGF engages the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA to activate a gene transcriptional program involving the regulation of hundreds of transcripts. To identify NGF-dependent genes in developing mouse nociceptors, we have designed and performed two separate microarray screens to compare gene expression profiles of DRG neurons either with or lacking NGF signaling.

Modelling pain states with hiPSC derived sensory neurons

Project description:We report the development of a sensory neuron differentiation protocol which can be used to produce populations of nociceptive sensory neurons. Following transcriptomic and electrophysiological characterisation, we used cultures to investigate molecular pain pathways by exposing cells to three pain related stimuli: heat, cold and a migraine model. Samples were taken at four time points, up to 18 hours after stimulus exposure. Bulk RNA sequencing of samples showed that for temperature models, gene expression changes were dominated by those involved in cell stress and cell death mechanisms. For the migraine model, we obseved a complex pattern of exposure-associated gene expression changes, including the up-regulation of several genes and pathways involved in neuronal and synaptic function.

Induction of antiviral Interferon-Stimulated Genes (ISGs) by neuronal STING promotes the resolution of pain

Project description:Nociceptive neurons respond to inflammation, initiating protective reflexes and alerting the host. Here we found that TRPV1 nociceptors express and activate the cytosolic DNA-sensing protein Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) in response to inflammation. Neuronal activation of STING promotes signaling through TBK1 and triggers a Type I interferon (IFN-I) response. The absence of STING led to heightened pain responses to chemical irritants or heat. In contrast, mice expressing a nociceptor-specific gain-of-function mutation in STING exhibited an IFN gene signature that reduced nociceptor excitability and inflammatory hyperalgesia. Importantly, several IFN-regulated genes (IRGs) were specific to nociceptor ion channels responsible for controlling neuronal activity and pain threshold. Therefore, STING promotes a pain-resolving IFN-I signaling pathway in nociceptors, thereby preventing sensitization and persistent pain
