Project description:The vast majority of cold sensitive DRG neurons from mice do not express the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8. Therefore, we aimed to compare the molecular profiles of NaV1.8 and non-NaV1.8-expressing neurons using microarray analysis. Fluorescent activated cell sorting was performed at 4 degrees centigrade on acutely dissociated DRG neurons from mice expressing NaV1.8-Cre, Pirt-GCaMP3 and a Cre-dependent global reporter (td tomato). NaV1.8-expressing neurons were sorted based on their reporter fluorescence (td tomato; red) and putative cold sensing neurons were sorted based on their GCaMP3 fluorescence at 4 degrees centigrade and absence of Cre-dependent reporter fluorescence. A total of three mice were used (samples one, two and three) with GCaMP3 only and NaV1.8-expressing neurons forming two relative populations within each sample (eg. GC3 one is the experimental counterpart of Tom one).

Project description:Comparison of transcript levels after diphtheria-toxin deletion of the Nav1.8-expressing cells using the cre/loxP system.<br> Pain requires input from nociceptors which are specialised peripheral sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). To explore the nociceptor-specific mRNA profiles, we used microarray analysis to examine the altered repertoire of genes expressed in DRG from mice depleted of Nav1.8-expressing neurons which are mainly nociceptors. To generate the animal, a Nav1.8 knock-in Cre-expressing mouse (Nav1.8-Cre) was used to excise a floxed stop upstream of globally expressed diphtheria toxin A-subunit gene (ROSA26-eGFP-DTA). By crossing heterozygous Cre mice with homozygous toxin-expressing floxed mice, experimental toxin-expressing (DTA) mice, in which DTA expressing nociceptors had been deleted, were generated. 6 DTA mice and 6 litter mate controls were used for microarray analysis. 3 Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array chips were employed for analysis of the gene transcripts of each conditions.

Project description:Nociceptors play an essential role in both acute pain and chronic pain conditions. In this study, we examined the proteome of mouse dorsal root ganglia and compared NaV1.8Cre+/-; ROSA26-flox-stop-flox-DTA (Diphtheria toxin fragment A) mutant mice (NaV1.8Cre-DTA), in which NaV1.8-positive neurons (mainly nociceptors) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were ablated, with respective littermate wildtype controls.

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in FACS purified Nav1.8 lineage sensory neurons, which include nociceptor neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli, following peripheral inflammation by intraplantar injection of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) or Sciatic Nerve Injury (SNI) by nerve transection. Nav1.8 Trangsgenic TdTomato+ neurons were purified from Lumbar L4-L6 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) by flow cytometry from mice on the ipsilateral or contralateral sides, following Complete Freund's Adjuvant injection (day 1) or sciatic nerve transection (day 5). Neurons were then analyzed for transcriptional gene expression by microarray analysis.

Project description:We report scRNA-seq of adolescent mouse (P21). We use these data to identify cell type specific genes for transcriptionally defined DRG sensory neurons. The cell type specific markers are used to generate recombinase knock in mice under the control of cell type specific genes.

Project description:The goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of nociceptor sensory neurons, the neurons that detect damaging/noxious stimuli. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia are anatomically distinct peripheral sensory ganglia that contain nociceptors which innervate skin, gut, lungs, and other distinct organ tissues. We used flow cytometry to purify nociceptors from these ganglia and profiled their global gene expression signatures to compare gene expression between these different anatomically distinct nociceptors. Nav1.8-Cre were bred with Rosa26-TdTomato to generate Nav1.8-Cre/R26-TdTomato reporter progeny, where all peripheral nociceptor neurons are genetically marked with red fluroescence due to specific expression of the TTX- resistant sodium channel Nav1.8. Lumbar region dorsal root ganglia (DRG), trigeminal ganglia, and nodose ganglia were dissected from mice (3 mice were pooled/sample). Highly red fluorescent neurons were Facs purified, RNA extracted, and processed for microarray analysis.

Project description:Although DNA methylation plays a critical role in the development and function of mammalian central nervous system (CNS), its role in peripheral neurons has not been elucidated. To address this issue, we produced conditional knockout mice (CKO) specifically deleting the gene for maintenance DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1) during the development of neural crest cells. Despite global hypomethylation in the embryonic dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of the CKO mice, the number of sensory neurons was relatively unaffected. However, expression of many genes required for sensory neuron development was altered in embryonic mutant DRG, including down-regulation of Runx1 and TrkA genes as well as up-regulation of Id1 and Dtx1, two negative regulators for neurogenesis. Accompanied with the downregulation of an NGF receptor TrkA, the peripheral axonal projection and the branching of sensory neurons were impaired. Furthermore, the expression of the neuropeptide Galanin and several vanilloid receptors such as TrpV1 and TrpM8 were not detected in the DRG of the CKO mice during late embryonic and neonatal stages, suggesting that DNA methylation regulates the differentiation program for a subset of nociceptive sensory neurons. Taken together, our findings suggest that through transcriptional regulation of key developmental genes in sensory neurons, DNA methylation play a key role in the control of the axonal projection and fate specification of peripheral sensory neurons. We compared gene expression patterns in Wildtype and DNA methylation deficient (Wnt1-cre; Dnmt1 mutant) mouse dorsal cortex. We performed 4 replicates using different each individual mouse strain. The Sample GSM565172 table is the average log ratio for the 4 replicatesArrays were performed.

Project description:We performed mRNA-seq to characterize cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells from adult mice. Our data is based on ~25 million reads per sample in six independent RNA preparations. The transcript per millions (TPM) gene count distribution was homogenous between individual cultures. We analyzed the transcriptome for marker genes of different cell types present in the DRG. Expression profiles pointed to a sensory progenitor-like cell type originating from peripheral glial cells of the adult DRG. Such progenitor cells are interesting for reprogramming.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 are predominately expressed in peripheral sensory neurons and are critical for action potential propagation in nociceptors. Unexpectedly, we found that expression of SCN9A, SCN10A, SCN11A, and SCN2A, the alpha subunit of Nav1.7, Nav1.8, Nav1.9 and Nav1.2, respectively, are up-regulated in spinal dorsal horn (SDH) neurons of miR-96 knockout mice. These mice also have de-repression of CACNA2d1/2 in DRG and display heat and mechanical allodynia that could be attenuated by intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection of Nav1.7 or Nav1.8 inhibitors or Gabapentin. Moreover, Gad2::CreERT2 conditional miR-96 knockout mice phenocopied global knockout mice, implicating inhibitory neurons; nerve injury induced significant loss of miR-96 in SDH GABAergic and Glutamatergic neurons in mice which negative correlated to up-regulation of Nav1.7, Nav1.8, Nav1.9 and Scn2a, this dis-regulation of miR-96 and Navs in SDH neurons contributed to neuropathic pain which can be alleviated by intrathecal injection of Nav1.7 or Nav1.8 blockers. In conclusion, miR-96 is required to avoid allodynia through limiting the expression of VGCCs and Navs in DRG and Navs in SDH in naïve and nerve injury induced neuropathic pain mice. Our findings suggest that central nervous system penetrating Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 inhibitors may be efficacious for pain relief.
