High-fidelity encoding of mechanostimuli by tactile food-sensing neurons requires an ensemble of ion channels

ABSTRACT: Dopaminergic neurons (expressing Pdat-1::mStrawberry) and serotonergic neurons (expressing Ptph-1::GFP) were purified from C. elegans embryos and larvae. We identified transcripts that were enriched in dopaminergic neurons compared to serotonin neurons.

High-fidelity encoding of mechanostimuli by tactile food-sensing neurons requires an ensemble of ion channels.

Project description:The nematode C. elegans uses mechanosensitive neurons to detect bacteria, which are food for worms. These neurons release dopamine to suppress foraging and promote dwelling. Through a screen of genes highly expressed in dopaminergic food-sensing neurons, we identify a K2P-family potassium channel-TWK-2-that damps their activity. Strikingly, loss of TWK-2 restores mechanosensation to neurons lacking the NOMPC-like channel transient receptor potential 4 (TRP-4), which was thought to be the primary mechanoreceptor for tactile food sensing. The alternate mechanoreceptor mechanism uncovered by TWK-2 mutation requires three Deg/ENaC channel subunits: ASIC-1, DEL-3, and UNC-8. Analysis of cell-physiological responses to mechanostimuli indicates that TRP and Deg/ENaC channels work together to set the range of analog encoding of stimulus intensity and to improve signal-to-noise characteristics and temporal fidelity of food-sensing neurons. We conclude that a specialized mechanosensory modality-tactile food sensing-emerges from coordination of distinct force-sensing mechanisms housed in one type of sensory neuron.

Establishment of a dopaminergic neuron purification system in mice

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of enriched of neuron population collected from in-vivo mouse brains has been a challenge in the neuroscience field due to its fragility in withstanding harsh condition during isolation and collection process. We established a fluorescent reporter mouse Ddc-hKO1 to facilitate the identification and collection of Ddc-expressing neurons (dopaminergic, serotonergic, cholinergic and adrenergic neurons) by the detection of red fluorescence signals using a FACs. We utilized an improved isolation protocol that ensure high yield and quality of viable neurons during collection that is suitable for RNA-sequencing. This is the first report of transcriptomic profiling of Ddc expressing (hKO1(+)) neurons. Successful collection of Ddc-expressing neurons were verified by gene markers of dopaminergic, serotonergic, cholinergic neurons in hKO1(+) populations while other neuron types in hKO1(-) population. Furthermore, GSEA analysis were performed on both hKO1(+) and hKO1(-) to further support the neuron types collected in respective population.

The divergent nodes of non-autonomous UPRER signaling through serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons

Project description:Performed RNA-seq analysis of animals with xbp-1s overexpression (ER stress response transcription factor) in specific neuron types: pan-neuronal, serotonergic neuron, dopaminergic neuron, and both serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons, all compared to a wild-type control. RNA-seq was performed on purified RNA extracted from ~1000 whole worms using a proprietary Genewiz protocol described briefly in the manuscript. 3 biological replicates are provided for each sample.

Ca2+ channels couple spiking to mitochondrial metabolism in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

Project description:How do neurons match generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by mitochondria to the bioenergetic demands of regenerative activity? Although the subject of speculation, this coupling is still poorly understood, particularly in neurons that are tonically active. To help fill this gap, pacemaking substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons were studied using a combination of optical, electrophysiological and molecular approaches. In these neurons, spike-activated calcium (Ca2+) entry through Cav1 channels triggered Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, which stimulated mitochondrial OXPHOS through two complementary Ca2+-dependent mechanisms: one mediated by the mitochondrial uniporter and another by the malate-aspartate shuttle. Disrupting either mechanism impaired the ability of dopaminergic neurons to sustain spike activity. While this feedforward control helps dopaminergic neurons meet the bioenergetic demands associated with sustained spiking, it also is responsible for their elevated oxidant stress and possibly to their decline with aging and disease.

Direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts to expandable induced dopaminergic neuronal progenitors for Parkinson’s disease therapy [Array]

Project description:Personalized cell therapy is being explored as promising treatments for incurable diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we directly reprogrammed human fibroblasts into induced dopaminergic neuronal progenitors (hiDPs) and assess their applicability for regenerative PD therapy. We found that hiDPs maintain progenitor characteristics over 20 passages and showed unaltered differentiation potential to midbrain dopaminergic neurons. By next-generation sequencing, we confirm that even long-term cultured hiDPs retain genomic stability, resulting in absence of tumorigenicity when transplanted, indicating preclinical safety. The hiDPs differentiate into highly pure dopaminergic neurons expressing markers associated with positive graft outcomes without unwanted serotonergic neurons known to cause graft-induced dyskinesia. The therapeutic effect and safety were confirmed by transplantation in rodent PD models. Because our optimized reprogramming conditions generate highly expandable hiDPs enabling scaled production of clonal cells and overcoming quality control issues, we propose that our hiDPs can become a preferred autologous therapy for aged and feeble PD patients vulnerable to immunosuppression regimens.

Cytosolic dopamine determines hypersensitivity to blunt force trauma [N2 injury timeline]

Project description:The selective vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to trauma-induced neurodegeneration is a conserved phenomenon across species, extending from nematodes to humans. However, the molecular mechanisms contributing to this hypersensitivity to blunt force injury remain poorly understood. We find that dopamine oxidation, a key driver of Parkinson’s Disease, extends its toxic role to the acute challenges of blunt force trauma. Ectopic synthesis of dopamine in serotonergic neurons alone proves sufficient in determining neuronal subtype sensitivity to trauma-induced death. While dopaminergic neurons maintain this neurotransmitter in a functional and benign state, trauma-induced subcellular redox imbalances elicit dopamine-dependent cytotoxicity. Perturbing dopamine synthesis and its packaging into synaptic vesicles further demonstrate how cytosolic dopamine is both necessary and sufficient to drive cell loss upon mechanical stress and during aging. Additionally, trauma activates the B-Zip transcription factor, fos-1, which exacerbates this toxic cascade by transcriptionally upregulating the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis, cat-2. In summary, our study unravels the molecular intricacies that render dopaminergic neurons uniquely prone to physical perturbation, highlighting a shared vulnerability across different evolutionary lines.
