Project description:During differentiation, neurons experience a reorganization of DNA modification patterns within their genomes. However, the mechanisms underlying this developmental patterning and its role in defining the neuronaÂÂl state are currently unclear. Here, we find that the dÂÂe novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a is necessary for elevated levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Through an analysis of genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC distributions in isolated OSNs, we find that Dnmt3a-dependent 5mC and 5hmC occurs within regions of high accessibility, neural enhancers, and the transcription start sites of transcribed genes. Its loss results in the global disruption of gene expression patterns, including the upregulation of silent genes, the downregulation of mOSN-expressed genes, and the alteration of odorant-induced transcriptional responses of immediate early genes. Together, these results demonstrate that Dnmt3a is necessary to define the neuronal transcriptional state and may be broadly involved in refining expression profiles within differentiated cells. To determine the contributions of Dnmt3a to the DNA modification and transcriptional landscapes of a post-mitotic neuronal population, we performed DNA immunoprecipitation (DIP-seq) using antibodies specific for 5mC and 5hmC and rRNA-depleted transcriptional profiling (RNA-seq) coupled to high-throughput sequencing using genomic DNA or RNA from FACS-isolated mature olfactory sensory neurons (mOSNs) from main olfactory epithelium (MOE) of Dnmt3a wildtype (WT), heterozygous-null (Het), or homozygous-null (KO) 3-week old mice. Similarly, to compare this information with other epigenetic features of the MOE, we performed H3K4me1 (WT), H3K27ac (WT), and H3K27me3 (WT and KO) chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and DNase I hypersensitivity assays (DNase-seq) using MOE nuclei from 3-week old mice. In addition, we assayed the influence of Dnmt3a-deficiency on the induction of odorant-responsive genes by exposing 3-week old Dnmt3a WT, Het, and KO mice to either water or a 1:1:1 mixture of amyl acetate:acetophenone:octanal for 1 hour and performed rRNA-depleted RNA-seq using RNA isolated from their MOEs.

Project description:Olfaction plays important roles in food and mate choice, and also in the avoidance of predators, making it a vital sensory modality for preservation and reproduction. In the vertebrates, olfactory receptors are thought to localise on multiple cilia elaborated on the dendritic knobs of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Although olfactory cilia dysfunction can cause loss of the sense of smell, how their differentiation is programmed at the transcriptional level has remained largely unexplored. We discovered in zebrafish and mice that Foxj1, a fork head-domain containing transcription factor traditionally linked with motile cilia biogenesis, is expressed in OSNs and required for olfactory epithelium formation. In keeping with the immotile nature of the olfactory cilia, we observed that ciliary motility genes that are the targets of Foxj1 in motile ciliated cells, are repressed in the OSNs. Strikingly, we also found that besides ciliogenesis, Foxj1 controls the differentiation of the OSNs by regulating their cell type-specific gene expression, such as that of olfactory marker protein (omp) involved in odour-evoked signal transduction. In line with these requirements, response to bile acid, an odour detected by OMP-positive OSNs, was significantly diminished in the foxj1 mutant zebrafish. Taken together, our findings establish how the canonical Foxj1-mediated motile ciliogenic transcriptional program has been repurposed for the biogenesis of the immotile olfactory cilia and for the development of the OSNs themselves.

Project description:The overall aim of the experiment is to understand the phenotype of mature mouse olfactory sensory neurons by analyzing the transcripts expressed and enriched in them as compared to the rest of the cell types in the olfactory epithelium (consisting of immature neurons, supporting cells, progenitor cells and cells in lamina propria) and brain ( with out the olfactory bulbs). Comparision with the other cell types in the olfactory epithelium should eliminate the transcripts commonly expressed in the olfactory epithelium and comparision with brain will eliminate the transcripts common to most neurons. Our gene chip data indicates that mature mouse olfactory sensory neurons express 10,000 genes. Mature OSNs specifically contained three clusters of over represented Gene ontology categories: smell, ion transport and cilia. Analysis for the functionally over represented categories among the transcripts with a positive signal in the mature OSNs yielded largely broad categories common to all cells with the exception of chromatin modelling and RNA processing categories. Biological process categories of movement, development and immune response came as under represented categories. Experiment Overall Design: To purify mature olfactory neurons we took advantage of the OMP-GFP mice. OMP(olfactory marker protein) is expressed specifically in mature olfactory and vomeronasal sensory neurons. In the OMP-GFP mice the coding region of OMP is replaced by GFP. We purified OSNs from the rest of the epithelium from these mice by using FACS. . We used the Affymetrix gene chips mouse expression set 430 (consisting of 430A and 430B chips). Our gene chip data is extensively validated by insitu hybridizations.

Project description:We sequenced the transcriptome of 34 single olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) manually picked from OMP-GFP mice, ensuring the cells expressed high levels of GFP, a marker of mature OSNs. We pooled the olfactory mucosa from 2 male and 2 female animals, to obtain single-cell suspensions for cell picking. We only picked healthy-looking cells. From each, we constructed libraries for single-cell RNA-sequencing, to characterise the diversity of OR genes expressed.

Project description:Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) express a single abundant olfactory receptor (OR). To assess the differences in gene expression between different OSN sub-types we collected three pools of neurons that express one OR and compared them to three pools of neurons that express another. After extracting RNA from these pools, the samples were multiplexed and sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq2500 platform.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:The UPF3B-dependent branch of the nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) pathway is critical for human cognition. Here, we examined the role of UPF3B in the olfactory system. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis demonstrated considerable heterogeneity of olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) cell populations in wild type (WT) mice, and revealed that UPF3B loss influences specific subsets of these cell populations. UPF3B also regulates the expression of a large cadre of anti-microbial genes in OSNs, and promotes the selection of specific olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes for expression in mature OSNs (mOSNs). RNA-seq and Ribotag analyses identified classes of mRNAs expressed and translated at different levels in WT and Upf3b-null mOSNs. Integrating multiple computational approaches, UPF3B-dependent NMD target transcripts that are candidates to mediate the functions of NMD in mOSNs were identified in vivo. Together, our data provides a valuable resource for the olfactory field and insights into the roles of NMD in vivo.

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify those odorant receptors conferring a response to indole or related odorants (2-methylindole, 3-methylindole, 6-methylindole, 2-methoxynaphthalene, and Lilyflore®) in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Odorants were sequentially delivered to dissociated OSNs, and six OSNs with three different response profiles were isolated for transcriptome analysis. OSN1 and OSN2 responded to indole, 2-methylindole, 3-methylindole, and 6-methylindole; OSN3 and OSN4 responded to Indole and 2-methoxynaphthalene; OSN5 and OSN6 responded to indole, 3-methylindole, 6-methylindole, and 2-methoxynaphthalene. RNA transcripts encoding Olfr740 (OSN1, OSN2), Olfr741 (OSN3, OSN4), and Olfr743 (OSN5, OSN6) were retrieved, with high level expression of a single OR transcript in each OSN. The expression of mature OSN markers OMP, Golf, Adcy3, Cnga2 and Rtp1 was also confirmed.
