Sc-RNA seq for intrinsic mechanisms of distinct axonal growth capacity in different peripheral sensory neuron subtypes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dorsal root ganglion neurons are the primary neurons of the sensory afferent pathway and are a heterogeneous population. Dorsal root ganglion neurons exhibit a wide range of terminal morphologies, complex central projection patterns, and different physiological properties, which allow them to adapt to various sensory stimulation modalities and transmit the corresponding sensory information to the central nervous system. Here, we used single-cell sequencing technology to explore the mechanisms behind the differences in axonal lengths in DRG neurons cultured in vitro. The single-cell sequencing data grouped by axon length were compared and analyzed to find core genes that may be closely related to axon length in a list of differentially expressed genes that significantly change with axon length; as well as to explore whether these genes also play an important role in the process of axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.
