A chemogenetic screen for neuro-immune interactions in the gut: Trpv1+ nociceptor neurons control T regulatory cells

ABSTRACT: Neuroimmune crosstalk is critical for intestinal and tissue homeostasis. Yet the role of molecularly distinct subsets of gut-innervating neurons in regulating the activity of gut immunocytes, and the mechanisms of this neuroimmune signaling remain unclear. Here, we performed a chemogenetic and flow cytometry-based analysis of mice targeting eight different peripheral neuron subsets to assess how gut immunocytes are altered following neural activation. We found that distinct neurons modulated discreet anatomical populations of immunocytes in the gut in ileum, cecum, and colon. Nos1+ neuron activation decreased the percentage of RORg+ ileal conventional CD4+ T cells, whereas ChAT+ neuron activation decreased ileal neutrophils. Trpv1+ neuron activation displayed the most robust immunomodulatory phenotype, causing downregulation of RORg+ T regulatory cells in the colon and cecum. The immune cells exhibited decreased proliferation, enhanced cell stress, and altered cell activation markers. Further genetic and pharmacological approaches showed that spinal afferent Trpv1+ neurons specifically decreased Treg cells by signaling via the neuropeptide CGRP. Our study provided a comprehensive understanding of neuro-immune interactions, revealing a role for mechanisms by which Trpv1+ neurons regulate gut Treg cells.

A dynamic atlas of immunocyte migration reveals specific populations of gut-imprinted cells in distal tissues

Project description:Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota impacts several systemic diseases. One possible mechanism is the migration of perturbed intestinal immunocytes to extra-intestinal tissues. Combining the Kaede photoconvertible mouse model and single-cell genomics, we generated a detailed map of migratory trajectories from the colon, at baseline and during intestinal and extra-intestinal inflammation. All colonic lineages emigrated from the colon in an S1P-dependent manner, dominated by B lymphocytes with a large continuous circulation of follicular B cells, which carried a gut-imprinted transcriptomic signature. T cell emigration was more selective, with distinct groups of RORg+ cells and IEL-like CD160+ T cells in the spleen. Gut inflammation curtailed emigration, except for DCs disseminating to lymph nodes. Colon emigrating cells distributed differentially to tumor, skin inflammation, or arthritic synovium, the former dominated by myeloid cells in a chemokine-dependent manner. These results thus reveal specific cellular trails originating in the gut, influenced by microbiota, which can shape peripheral immunity.

The transcriptome of TRPV1-positive sensory neurons revealed by subgroup-elimination transcriptomics

Project description:We developed an approach to rapidly eliminate the subgroup of sensory neurons expressing the heat-gated cation channel TRPV1 from dissociated rat sensory ganglia using agonist treatment followed by density centrifugation. To identify transcripts predomintly expressed in TRPV1-positive neurons, we compared the transcriptome of all cells within sensory ganglia versus all cells without TRPV1 expressing neurons using RNA-Seq. Four replicate experiments with RNA from DRG neurons of one rat per experiment were performed. Dissociated neurons were split up in three parts, treated with solvent DMSO (0.1%), casaicin (10 µM), or RTX (100 nM) for 30 min followed by gradient centrifugation. RNA was extracted from the remaining pellet containing either all cells or all cells without TRPV1-positive neurons.

iPSC-derived human sensory neurons reveal a subset of TRPV1 antagonists as anti-pruritic compounds

Project description:Given the inaccessibility of human sensory neurons (SNs), it is yet to be established whether the signalling pathway between histamine 1 receptor (H1R) and transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) is conserved between humans and mammalian models. Accessible human SNs are vital for identifying TRPV1 antagonists with higher potential for success in clinical trials targeting histaminergic itch, especially given TRPV1's species specificity concerns. Hence to build a humanized histamine-dependent itch model, we derived peripheral sensory neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-SNs) and validated channel functionality using immunostaining, calcium imaging and multielectrode array (MEA) recordings. Here, we demonstrated that a subset of hiPSC-SNs exhibits co-expression of H1R and TRPV1, responding to both histamine and capsaicin agonists. We found that inhibiting TRPV1 prevented histamine activation. Moreover, we show that silencing histamine-sensitive neurons reduces capsaicin response, and silencing capsaicin-sensitive neurons diminishes histamine response. To assess the ability of hiPSC-SNs in TRPV1 antagonist drug screening, we evaluated two well-established hyperthermic and three thermal-neutral TRPV1 antagonists. Our finding identifies SB366791, a thermal-neutral antagonist, as a potent inhibitor of H1R activation. The use of hiPSC-SNs may therefore provide a physiologically relevant means to perform large-scale screening to discover anti-pruritic agents predictive of actual efficacy in human clinical trials.

The neuronal tyrosine kinase receptor ligand ALKAL2 mediates persistent pain

Project description:To identify putative genes that could contribute to the phenotypic plasticity of TRPV1 nociceptors in inflammation-induced sensitization, we used the Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) model of chronic inflammatory pain. Three days post intraplantar injection of CFA, ipsilateral and contralateral lumbar DRG neurons were separated, and TRPV1-pHluorin neurons were purified by FACS and analyzed through the GeneChip™ Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array. The array analysis provided a complete expression profile of mRNA between contralateral and ipsilateral TRPV1 neurons following inflammatory insult. In inflammatory condition, we found >100 genes to be up or down regulated in TRPV1 neurons.

Dermal TRPV1 innervations engage a macrophage and fibroblast containing pathway to activate hair growth [dataset2]

Project description:Pain, detected by nociceptors, is an integral part of injury, yet whether and how it can impact tissue physiology and recovery remain understudied. Here we applied chemogenetics in mice to locally activate dermal TRPV1 innervations in naïve skin and found it triggered new regenerative cycling by dormant hair follicles (HFs).This was preceded by rapid apoptosis of dermal macrophages, mediated by the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). TRPV1 activation also triggered a macrophage-dependent induction of Spp1-expressing dermal fibroblasts. The neuropeptide CGRP andSpp1were essential for the nociceptor-triggered hair growth. Finally, we show that epidermal abrasion injury induced Spp1-expressing dermal fibroblasts and hair growth via a TRPV1 neuron and CGRP dependent mechanism.Collectively, these data demonstrate a role for TRPV1 nociceptors in orchestrating a macrophage and fibroblast-supported mechanism to promote hair growth, and enabling the efficient restoration of this mechano- and thermo-protective barrier after wounding.

TRPV1 DRG: Identification of a sacral, visceral sensory transcriptome in embryonic and adult mice

Project description:Visceral sensory neurons encode distinct sensations from healthy organs and initiate pain states that are resistant to common analgesics. Transcriptome analysis is transforming our understanding of sensory neuron subtypes but has generally focused on somatic sensory neurons or the total population of neurons in which visceral neurons form the minority. Our aim was to define transcripts specifically expressed by sacral visceral sensory neurons, as a step towards understanding the unique biology of these neurons and potentially lead to identification of new analgesic targets for pelvic visceral pain. Our strategy was to identify genes differentially expressed between sacral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) that include somatic neurons and sacral visceral neurons, and adjacent lumbar DRG that comprise exclusively somatic sensory neurons. This was performed in male and female mice (adult and E18.5). By developing a method to restrict analyses to nociceptive Trpv1 neurons, a larger group of genes were detected as differentially expressed between spinal level. We identified many novel genes not previously been associated with pelvic visceral sensation or nociception. Limited sex differences were detected across the transcriptome of sensory ganglia, but more were revealed in sacral levels and especially in Trpv1 nociceptive neurons. These data will facilitate development of new tools to modify mature and developing sensory neurons and nociceptive pathways.
