Comparative transcriptional analysis of the satellite glial cell injury response
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The recent advance in single cell RNAseq technologies has enabled a new approach to investigate satellite glial cells (SGCs). Here we publish a dataset from mice subjected to sciatic nerve injury as well as a dataset from dorsal root ganglia cells after 3 days in culture. We use a meta-analysis approach to compare the injury response with that in other published datasets and conclude that SGCs share a common signature following sciatic nerve crush and sciatic ligation, involving transcriptional regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis. We also observed a considerable transcriptional change when culturing SGCs, suggesting that some differentiate into a specialised in vitro state, while others start resembling Schwann cell-like precursors.
